The Spoony Experiment

A Word from the Mistress

by Scarlett on July 4, 2009 · View Comments

Hey everyone! This is Scarlett – also known as Spoony’s woman, TSE’s web mistress, and the whip-crackin’ fan seducer wrangler from the forums. I’ve just finished many feverish hours of damage control, and I think it’s safe to say that TSE is back up and running again … For now. [Cue thunder clap of doom.]

The written Movie Reviews, the Photo Gallery, and Dean Talks Anime will be unavailable for a while, as all of those sections require major updating (and in some cases, complete redesigning) now that TSE is running on all new coding. (Note to Dreamhost: I am going to PUNCH you in the SOUL!)

We’re going to be moving the site to a dedicated server sometime in the near future, probably starting with the forums, but we’ll let everyone know in advance of the changeover. In the event that Dreamhost hasn’t finished sodomizing TSE with Big Daddy’s drill, you may want to follow TheSpoonyOne on Twitter, just in case something happens to our hosting account before we make the switch.

Thanks to everyone for your patience, and apologies to those who were alarmed by Spoony’s last post. Looks like I really do have some skills outside of the bedroom after all! Awwwwww yeah. ;-)

“All praise the Scarlet Sorceress!”

As long as the enemies of the Scarlett still draw breath there shall be no peace.
I think that paraphrasing words aimed to praise the god-emperor of mankind are still not enough, considering that you can bring the site back from the dead (I didn’t see emperor doing that) so I’ll just say thank you and wait on with high hopes ^^.
THY WILL BE DONE!

If the site doesn’t generate enough revenue to switch to a dedicated server, then why are you switching to a dedicated server?

Nathaniel July 4, 2009 at 10:37 am

If you don’t have Spoony whipped by now then it’s time to break out the whip.

Alex July 4, 2009 at 10:38 am

You certainly do have great skill! Thank you greatly!

Wiseguy July 4, 2009 at 10:42 am

I always thought Jesus was a woman….

Larty July 4, 2009 at 11:07 am

I’m voting that we should see Scarlett at a Spoony Experiment episode. Who’s with me? Come on, guys! If we all vote for it, I know we’ll get to see her!

Lieutenant Spoony: You will NEVER CEASE. Anyone else ceasing their worship shall be labeled a terrorist and shot by a sniper, so as to avoid unauthorized use of deadly force.

Glad to see TSE is back up so soon, Scarlett does good work. Now if she’d just stop flirting with all the fans she’d be the perfect woman. Oh well.

blueoccult July 4, 2009 at 11:32 am

*worships Scarlett* thank you thank you THANK YOU! I was worried there for a bit, but it seems that the Spoonyone is still alive and kicking.

Vanessah July 4, 2009 at 11:34 am

All hail Scarlett! Thanks for all your hard work. ^^

Diz July 4, 2009 at 11:59 am

Long live Scarlett! Long live Scarlett! Long live Scarlett! *crowd chant*

Dinodain July 4, 2009 at 12:00 pm

Wow, I disappear for three weeks and all hell breaks loose. Thank you Scarlett for putting your time into bringing the site back up, I know how much of a pain in the ass these types of problems can be and how much time they can take. We are all really thank full for your help and for helping Spoony at this time, Thank You. *Now Worshiping You and Bowing!* We’re Not Worthy!

lighting a candle to the tech gods for you

ipwnuall July 4, 2009 at 12:21 pm

I had followed spooney since the eairliest days and I was sad yesterday about Spooney being gone forever. Godbless you Scarlet and your technical mastery over the opprasive Dreamhost. Godbless

Gnarbob July 4, 2009 at 12:42 pm

FUCK. YES.

warriorwhacko July 4, 2009 at 12:49 pm

Thank you Scarlett and Spoony. If you guys are shopping for a new site host, Bluehost offers unlimited hosting space and file transfers for about $250 for 3 years. I’m saying that because I parked my site there, not because I work for them. You guys might want consider site shopping, just to price things out and have options in case of further emergencies. Just a thought.

thedeadpool July 4, 2009 at 1:01 pm

Thank You so much Scarlett!!!! This made my day.

booshwa July 4, 2009 at 1:39 pm

Huzzahs are in order!

Dom July 4, 2009 at 2:46 pm

I hope it works. I have to see the final swat mission and the ripper stuff. Keep trying. Please.

FRIG! July 4, 2009 at 2:56 pm

Noah, you are one lucky, lucky man, and I hope you FUCKING REALISE IT!

HeartOfSorrow July 4, 2009 at 3:04 pm

Scarlett you FUCKING ROCK. Nuf said.

tone July 4, 2009 at 3:13 pm

Bit creepy, suddenly mega-geek spoony has woman who maintains his site and talks about sex in site status update. Just like linus talks about his dick when he releases new kernel.
(Or maybe this mistress is just character, what do i know.)

Cannondancer July 4, 2009 at 3:44 pm

Hows it sudden tone? Scarlet has been admin on the forums for ages, it even says on the bottem that the site was designed and is maintained by her and she’s been mentioned on his twitter several times as well.

Vigil July 4, 2009 at 3:45 pm

I think we should call it ‘The Scarlett Experiment’ for the next few weeks.

Thank you for saving this site.

Bobbovski July 4, 2009 at 3:49 pm

All hail Scarlett!

Altoman5 July 4, 2009 at 4:14 pm

Thank you, Scarlett! I am not worthy! I am not worthy!

Jason July 4, 2009 at 4:21 pm

I was gone for almost 2 weeks and shit hits the fan. Great job for holding everything together though Scarlett and Spoony.

Jason July 4, 2009 at 4:21 pm

I also meant no sarcasm in that last post, in case anyone thinks other wise.

MarioSuperFam July 4, 2009 at 5:10 pm

yes!

Yes!!

YES!!!

Thank you so much! /worship

John Reynolds July 4, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Blue Mage July 4, 2009 at 5:54 pm

Scarlett saved us all!! Bow down to the supreme overlord! I love you, mistress!!

MattJay July 4, 2009 at 6:39 pm

Rocker1024 July 4, 2009 at 7:05 pm

Good work Scarlett, was worried wouldn’t see this site for a while. Thanks a lot.

StR July 4, 2009 at 7:21 pm

*worships*

You deserve a statue.

CannonGod July 4, 2009 at 7:24 pm

But can said skillz pay the billz ;)

Glad to see the site is still hanging in their during the Dreamhost debacle.

walter July 4, 2009 at 7:31 pm

The Spoony Bard is indeed back… judging from all the coments I’ve read when are we gonna see Scarlet?
We need to know.
Maybe she can guest star in a FF8 vid and make it that much mor bearable for you?
Watch me tempt fate… *ahem*… WELL GOLLY, THERE IS NO WAY ANYMORE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS COULD ARISE!!!! WE ARE ABSOLUTLY IN THE CLEAR!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!
By the way Foxgirl says howdy.

Pyrocrastinator July 4, 2009 at 7:43 pm

:D

Can I get you anything? An internet? Gold? The lost city of Atlantis?

00Dax July 4, 2009 at 8:05 pm

ALL HAIL THE SCARLETT-ONE (bows down before thee)

Russell Bradburn July 4, 2009 at 8:39 pm

Hey. I can’t say much here that hasn’t already been said by about 40 other people, but thank you, Scarlett. I first stumbled upon The Spoony Experiment by following a link from an interview with Ben Croshaw(Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation) over at The Escapist. He said that Spoony’s review of The Thing was one of the most entertaining things he ever watched. I clicked over and laughed my ass off. ;-) Since then the Experiment has become a staple of my daily Internet surfing.Not a week goes by that I don’t check it at least once. Thank you both kindly for the many hours of entertainment you’ve provided. Good luck with all the technical stuff, and I hope you don’t go away any time soon. :-)

Kiku July 4, 2009 at 9:19 pm

You f’in rock hardcore. ^____^

mambodog July 4, 2009 at 9:50 pm

have you tried using like WP super cache to help take the load off? (i wouldn’t know enough about it to tell if you are using it or not…)

KamenRiderGumo July 4, 2009 at 11:30 pm

Spoony, you’d better this this woman some danged good lovin’s from now on.

Beelay July 4, 2009 at 11:36 pm

Spoony has a woman? Clearly you jest.
But seriously, this is great.
Thank you.
