The Spoony Experiment

I AM INTERFACED!!!

by Spoony on July 10, 2009 · View Comments

The domain name changes appear to have propagated, so if you’re seeing this, you’re on the new server!

Major, MAJOR thanks to Mike Michaud, my webmistress Scarlett, and anyone else who had a hand in helping this transition go smoothly.

I’ve looked things over tenatively and they appear to be working properly. I say APPEAR, but there are undoubtedly some glitches. I’ve re-enabled the forum, but some data loss there was inevitable. If you created your account within the last week, you may have to re-register, and some posts in recent days may have been lost. If you spot any major errors, unusual behavior, or missing functionality, you can let me know at admin@spoonyexperiment.com

Right now we’re still using the “emergency” Wordpress template that Scarlett created to appease Dreamhost, so things aren’t in their final form yet. The written movie reviews are once again off the site because of this problem. I know it’s been more than a year since they’ve been working properly, but hopefully we’ll have a much faster way of converting them to a compatible format soon. The photo gallery is also down, I think.

Bear with us. Scarlett and I hope to be tweeking and fine-tuning the site’s appearance and functionality, and I’m still working feverishly on the new “epic review.” I probably won’t have it done by the end of the week like I hoped because of the server issues, but it’ll be done as soon as possible.

Awesome!

Hang in there, Spoony!!! Nice to see the website running almost normally!

areoborg July 10, 2009 at 11:50 am

Congratulations! One again, we must worship Scarlett for all of her hard work at keeping the site up and running.

Though I must ask… did you just reverse the access code in order to defeat the Fatman running Dreamhost, in order to get interfaced?

KamenRiderGumo July 10, 2009 at 11:51 am

Hell yeah – The Spoony One is back! Congrats on the server move!

PatMan33 July 10, 2009 at 11:51 am

Huzzah! New server new server I feel fine!!!

DamonD July 10, 2009 at 11:52 am

Feels like I’m walking on eggshells, don’t want to click on too much and obliterate the server or something :P

Big congratulations all round to Scarlett, Mike and Spoony.

Alex July 10, 2009 at 11:53 am

You guys are the shit!

Glory to the Spoont Experiment

Good stuff, Spoonster! I’m glad to hear that things are working out, and major props to Mike and Scarlett for their help too!

Long live The Spoony Experiment!

’tis a brave new world indeed. Massive props to everyone who worked to keep this site afloat!

Melchar July 10, 2009 at 11:57 am

So the site is on TGWTG’s server now?

fuxter July 10, 2009 at 11:57 am

why did i read “as spoony as possible”?
)))))

Jabrwock July 10, 2009 at 12:01 pm

Glad to know the transition went smoothly! I’ve seen quite a few server migrations where the page was down for nearly a week as unexpected glitches brought the site to a halt due to some minor way the new server handled certain data vs. the old.

Jason July 10, 2009 at 12:06 pm

Damn, hopefully the movie reviews come back soon.

Good luck with the rest, Spoony and Scarlett.

Jinxrr July 10, 2009 at 12:09 pm

Damn fine work, guys. Keep at it, ya’ got the support of the masses on your side!

Andy July 10, 2009 at 12:12 pm

Now that you’re having a fresh start – we want porn!

cthulhu07 July 10, 2009 at 12:13 pm

I think congratulations are in order right now. You guys have done tremendous job moving the site and thus keeping THE EXPERIMENT running. For this I thank thee :D

ChaosD1 July 10, 2009 at 12:17 pm

Grats on getting a server that isn’t run by asshats, Spoony.

Also, nice “Overdrawn at the Memory Bank” reference.

Solaris Paradox July 10, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Cool beans. Good to know the switch went smoothly.

Symphony July 10, 2009 at 12:23 pm

Nice when things actually work out, right?

Long live King Spoony!

GREAT SCOTT, Spoony has just accelerated at 88 MPH, travelling back to the internet!

I read and read and the more I do it the better the news.

Liking the sound of epic review, Spoony.

Pyrocrastinator July 10, 2009 at 1:19 pm

Glad things are working now!

Silvexsun July 10, 2009 at 1:24 pm

so many comments and not one about the HX 368 computer or old guys becoming pandas… shame.

Yokorose July 10, 2009 at 1:35 pm

Yay good to see you on the new server and site still up :D but i am still waiting to see this webmistress Scarlett of yours

Chris July 10, 2009 at 1:35 pm

Overdrawn At The Memory Bank, nice.

KamenRiderGumo July 10, 2009 at 1:41 pm

Melchar: no – it isn’t. Someone donated a dedicated server so that Spoony would have someplace to move the site to.

Camisado July 10, 2009 at 1:42 pm

THE GODS TRUELY SMILE UPON US! …. :D

Fishnets July 10, 2009 at 2:02 pm

Whoooot! *celebrations* That’s awesome news. Yay and well done for all the hard work :)

thedeadpool July 10, 2009 at 2:12 pm

Spoony is on the rise.

Midnight Voyager July 10, 2009 at 2:16 pm

Booyah! Working fine on this end! Nice and fast, too.

TGWNN July 10, 2009 at 2:25 pm

congrats man, hope to see your future stuff, i’m sure this site will get even better on the new server, long live the The Spoony Experiment!!!!

Mike Michaud July 10, 2009 at 2:45 pm

KamenRiderGumo: Yes it is. I put spoony on one of our servers, and had our host take care of the initial migration.

Red Silvers July 10, 2009 at 3:03 pm

Glad to hear its going well, Spoony.

Joe R July 10, 2009 at 3:08 pm

Well this is good news. All because of SCIENCE! :P

Nuinitari July 10, 2009 at 3:31 pm

40 comments in and no one made the obvious response?

BFD!!!!!!

PastaLibre July 10, 2009 at 4:13 pm

Deal, Sir, deal.
Hail Spoony the king(!), his mistress Scarlett(!!) and… Merlin Michaud(!!!)?
Hope you all get some sleep too.

Chris Swanson July 10, 2009 at 4:22 pm

Thanks for all the hard work you guys do on this site! Running my own, I know what a bitch it can be. :)

Melick July 10, 2009 at 4:56 pm

We must star an official cult in the honor of Scarlett.

Waddle Deluxe July 10, 2009 at 4:59 pm

The Fat Man will NOT be pleased at this.

Jer July 10, 2009 at 5:12 pm

i have a feeling this epic reveiw will involve the n64 becase he’s always wanted to do it

Kuncoss July 10, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Well, I’ve made it to the other side as well – Greatness :D

Hopefully it’ll continue to go on so smoothly for you, Spoony.

Chocobo July 10, 2009 at 5:16 pm
