I think time has come to wave a solemn goodbye to the old and help usher in the new. It’s a little light in places, but bear with us, ol’ Tori has a lot on his plate right now…

]]> http://furteantimes.com/ft/blog/changes/feed/ Tonight! http://www.furteantimes.com/ Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:16:22 +0000 Tori Belliachi http://furteantimes.com/ft/?p=13 Furtean Times 7 will be available tonight, at midnight Furtean time *points to the time in the bottom right* Sorry for the couple days of delay, but at least you got to look at the pretty new mainsite makeover to celebrate the issue!

]]> http://furteantimes.com/ft/blog/tonight/feed/ Delay http://www.furteantimes.com/ Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:42:59 +0000 Tori Belliachi http://furteantimes.com/ft/?p=11 It’s with some regret that I find myself many miles away from home. This then leaves me mostly computerless and without access to the stuff needed for FT7.

Okay, revised release date = August 3rd, maybe the 4th. Have fun without me :3

]]> http://furteantimes.com/ft/blog/delay/feed/ Another Update http://www.furteantimes.com/ Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:56:45 +0000 Tori Belliachi http://furteantimes.com/ft/?p=10 There’s a preview of Furtean Times 7 online now, and as per usual we’re still looking for fresh new contributors! So if you have anything to add - anything at all - then feel free to send it in! The only thing we ask is that it’s your own (oh, and it’s PG-13 too.)

I’m currently having inner debates with the whole idea of letting people sign up and contribute themselves as, while it extends the capabilities of the users, it makes things a lot more restrictive in areas such as formatting and layout; it also would then require all contributors - no matter how small - to go through the process of registering and filling in info. And it’s a haven for spambots, proven by the several dozen that have already found their way into the user database…

I dunno, if such a system will be put into place at all, it won’t be in time for FT7 - that’s for sure.

]]> http://furteantimes.com/ft/blog/another-update/feed/ Almost there… http://www.furteantimes.com/ Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:07:02 +0000 Tori Belliachi http://furteantimes.com/ft/?p=9 Whelp, the site is pretty much up and going - although you probably shouldn’t take my word for that, bugs are inevitable, especially for systems and browsers I haven’t had the opportunity to test on.

Meanwhile the ConFuzzled edition of FT seems to have gone down well with the public, if a little on the short side of things. There is one way to solve this though, by contributing your own articles! It is our prerogative to allow you - the general public - to add whatever you want, and we here don’t censor that, we promote it! So if you want to say something, no matter how controversial, then send it in to furteantimes@gmail.com with a few details about yourself and it may just get published.

Meanwhile I’m still working on the system to allow people to add things without going via email, however it’s still in testing and looks a little buggy, but it’ll be online by the next edition…. hopefully.

With the rather hectic work up to the convention and tickets not selling out until the eleventh hour - what became of this once in a lifetime opportunity?
