Well, if the forums are down for everyone at least there won’t be eleventeen pages of new posts to sort through. (Backwards, because the New Posts option drops posts off the list when you open them up in a new window, so the list becomes shorter, so you miss some if you go forward. I was going to complain about that, but now that the whole thing’s busted I’m gonna say there are higher priorities on the IT Nob’s minds.)
Way to get us all excited about a compo and then take away our ability to discuss it!
Thanks panda!
I always knew that you wrote malicious viruses during your breaks from eating, sleeping, and pooping, but I never though it would affect me… How could I have been so naive…?
Catmario is a fairly light character with many tricks up his sleeve.
A: Scratches with his sharp cat claws.
A>: Leaps forward and scratches
A^: Kicks upward
Adown: bites low to the ground
S: Turns into giant muscle cat and drops on the enemy for massive damage. The downside is that if you don’t cancel out of it quickly you fall through the ground and die.
S^: Places an invisible coinblock below himself and bounces off it. The coinblock sticks around and damages enemies who hit their heads on it.
S>: Throws a sunglasses star that bounces along and damages enemies.
Sdown: Lays a barely-visible spike trap on the ground which will activate if any player walks over it.
I use Firefox3 and the Noscript-addon.
And Noscript blocked this virus even before my antivirus software had to handle with it.
So I think Firefox is safer.
Can the TIGSource bigwigs at least post the bootleg demake competition rules somewhere else? I get the essence of the compo, but there are some points I can’t recall.
I’m starting to think this has nothing to do with a panda. In fact I was doing some research and it seems that websites have no correlation with pandas. Who would have guessed?
@slick: oh yeah, in that movie Ornella Muti was hot!
You need to watch the italian version of the movie, with her real voice acting: “Klytus, sono annoiata” :D
also, i like how a post about a sad panda can top the record of comments and totally destroy the average of 20-30 posts on news related to indie gaming xD
Haven’t read so many comments since that infamous “the underside” first trailer news.
Maybe the server isn’t Y2K8 compatible. Massive meltdown and the eradication of humanity ensues. The prophecies have already foretold: “when the mighty tiger shall fail to rise from his deep slumber the Earth will tremble and the sky shall be torn apart to make way for the coming darkness.”
Derek, you should update the Bootleg Demake post in here with all the rules while the forums are like this, or give a few days extension to the deadline later.
Doom is upon us if this keeps up. We’ll be doomed. Digipen style.
Actually I think the compo deadline can be moved earlier now, with the contestants actually working on their entries instead of lazing around in the fora :D
i blame gigglesworth. he saw the awesomeness at the tigsource draws robots thread and was jealous of their silly ‘top-fezzez’ and such, so he blew up the internets, a little. maybe.
that gigglesworth is always up to no good, but i never thought he would make a sick panda. what an ungentlemanly thing to do for a gentleman like himself.
Love!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
D:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN FLASH GORDON APROACHING
This just in, TIGsource supports bestiality
Okay, we have to improvise?
I think policedanceclub is pretty suspicious.
I know why Panda is sad.
Panda has to make love. Sweet love that is.
Happybara sends his love
/me hugs Panda!
Maybe Panda wants a Monocle?!
sounds like Panda wants less viruses in his forums!
OMG, he is soooooo cute !!! How to help the little panda?
/me hugs Panda!
Just look at those claws. I won’t fall for this trap. He’ll eat your souls to get well again.
@ECLIPSE: you just won my love Eclipse. KLYTUS I’M BORED
IT nerds just have nothing to do, this is the proof.
@Krux: well, duh, the forums are down.
Having nothing to do is actually what I get paid for at work.
I am a werewolf.
rawr
What is love beer?
On second thought I don’t want to know.
Well, if the forums are down for everyone at least there won’t be eleventeen pages of new posts to sort through.

I think the panda did it. Otherwise, why is he dressed like a burglar?!
Don Andy you too? :P
I vote Melly. Wait, he’s moderator! Cheater. I mean, he’s cheating. I’m not voting for cheater.
ahem. That virus made me realize just hoe much time I spend here <_<
I… I’m… I’m going through withdrawal guys.
o_Q
Delicious manlove for pandas.
I’ve noticed the forums are down for about 5 minutes now and I’m already panicked.
We need like, a backup forums somewhere else for these occasions.
Wait, the virus-on-forums thing wasn’t a joke?! How can a forum get virussed?
I send love to the panda. Sick pandas do not need beer. Beer would be unwise.
AGAIN! Also, panda’s ultra-cuteness is too much.
More empathy for Sick Panda
Smithy did the virus.
Trust me, he did.
I knew his amazing life was all a sham! A sham to cover up his true intentions to destroy us all!
More time to work on the compo entry.
I’m going for Ikaruga.
Love beer is a dirty, dirty phrase.
I think the panda just misses Tamer. As do we all.
What? I love beer. It’s not too weird.
Oh God I feel the Indiegamer forums are gonna get raped tonight.
Way to get us all excited about a compo and then take away our ability to discuss it!
Thanks panda!
I always knew that you wrote malicious viruses during your breaks from eating, sleeping, and pooping, but I never though it would affect me… How could I have been so naive…?
did you try feedig him corn chipps>?
I agree with fartron:
SUMMON TAMER!
<3
Smithy is innocent! I have an alibi! I was in a flying saucer at the time!
(For more information on Smithy’s innocence, visit www.downloadviruses.com)
A flying saucer with all the mechanical complexity of a teapot???
Don’t you see what has happened you fools…? We have made Tamer angry! Well probably have to sacrifice someone to appease him. I vote smithy …
In these comments: Things you won’t understand unless you are a forum regular.
hey guys US ANGERED AT CHINA OLYMPIC PROPAGANDA
HOW CARE AOUT THE PANDA?
PANDA SNEEZE IN 5..4..3..2..
Lurk moar
Also, I’m not a werewolf.
I’m the panda.
DUM DUM DUUUUUMM!
HI EVERY ONE NEW TO THIS SITE LIKE TO MAKE FRIENDS
I’m nes so I don’t get the sick panda reference. Maybe the OP is poking fun at the fact the Forum is down?
Connection Problems Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
HAI GUYS WHY SO FROWNEY
Losing the forums has driven everyone mad.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.
I think that it’s a sad testament to the security of Windows XP/Internet explorer that you can contract a virus by simply visiting a site on the web.
Now, I will withdraw to my ivory tower of OS X… where there are no indie games :(
Is this an XP/IE only bug? Am I safe if I’ve only used Firefocks? Is my vista box safe?
I’ll pray for you Pandy Panda!
Satan is my God, also!
I use Firefox3 and the Noscript-addon. And Noscript blocked this virus even before my antivirus software had to handle with it. So I think Firefox is safer.
Keeping the Cinco De Mayo Comicompo aliiiive! Sing it with me. (Seriously folks, who’s got that thing now?)
P.S. does this mean we get extensions on our demakes?
P.P.S. I agree. Policedanceclub IS suspicious. REFUTE.
Oh, also, I need thems forums bad. Power to The Progium. YOU CAN DO IT!
yeah I need the forums too :( for the compo
I need it.
I just do.
C’mon, little panda, you must eat if you want to be stronger. Please, eat. EAT! EAT YOU MOTHERFUCKER!
MUUUUUF.
also, why does everyone suspect me?
What.
This is going to be deleted, isn’t it
Can the TIGSource bigwigs at least post the bootleg demake competition rules somewhere else? I get the essence of the compo, but there are some points I can’t recall.
are you guys serious about the virus infecting through a website?
if so that’s a pretty high class virus, we should consider it a compliment :D
also the reason the panda is sad is that its not fucking, what it needs is some Barry White!
Maaaaan I miss you guys. MISS YOU GUYS.
Hope panda gets better soooooooooooon.
No forums and no demake updates make Noyb something something. Go crazy? Don’t mind if I do!
I am a furry
Best news ever
http://love.sf.net/
i need this site like crack
Christ. It’s been like 24 hours! Now is when we begin to lose all resemblance of reason or logical thought. It can only go downhill from here.
I’m starting to think this has nothing to do with a panda. In fact I was doing some research and it seems that websites have no correlation with pandas. Who would have guessed?
@slick: oh yeah, in that movie Ornella Muti was hot! You need to watch the italian version of the movie, with her real voice acting: “Klytus, sono annoiata” :D

Haven’t read so many comments since that infamous “the underside” first trailer news.
There is no virus! They just took the forums down so the blog gets more love!
I hope he dies of Aids.
(I hate Pandas.. )
On the side note, at least now you don’t have that last haunting pic up on the front anymore. Congrats.. censorSource.
I agree that Smithy was behind this. I bet he snuck the virus in in his massive logger’s beard.
This game sucks.
BARRY WHITE IS PEOPLES, PEOPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eclipse: We’re just posting here because the forums are down.
Derek, make a Werewolf game VIII post on the blog so that we can continue from there!
HEY GUYS, THE FORUMS ARE BACK UP!
Ornella mutti is so hot in that movie, she said this sentence with the voice of Max von Sydow huh!
Maybe the server isn’t Y2K8 compatible. Massive meltdown and the eradication of humanity ensues. The prophecies have already foretold: “when the mighty tiger shall fail to rise from his deep slumber the Earth will tremble and the sky shall be torn apart to make way for the coming darkness.”
Now look at what you guys started.
@slick:
You lied to me.
JUST when I’m about to break the 1000 posts the forums “get a virus” huh?
I ACCUSE the bigwigs of TIGsource of trying to keep the little guy down. You guys suck. DOWN WITH THE BIGWIGS.
cave story ripoff
ripstory cave off

I feel weak.

Derek, you should update the Bootleg Demake post in here with all the rules while the forums are like this, or give a few days extension to the deadline later.
Doom is upon us if this keeps up. We’ll be doomed. Digipen style.
Moi: I managed to break 300 just before the forums went down. Neener neener!
What’s disturbing is that TIGSource is already the #1 Google result for ‘sick panda’.
Also, forum withdrawal.
Wow thats cool creepy.
Also moi
send me a email.
policedanceclub AT gmail DOT com
Also, lets aim for lots of comments
like 200
that would be awesome.
manbye
The robots did it, I just know it.
I say 666.
This’ll either summon Satan or fuck the whole world up with a massive EMP.
Actually I think the compo deadline can be moved earlier now, with the contestants actually working on their entries instead of lazing around in the fora :D
:D
I feel the exact same way.
Also that was number 100
:3
sick panda is sick
Massena: Take that back, you heathen!
Massena: Take that back, you heathen!
Oh, come on. Double-posting doesn’t count. Cheater. Well, cheater. Cheater cheater!
I hate you cheater, I hate you so much.
Panda needs love, not hate
Im so so sorry, I love you cheater !
I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WIIWIIWIWIWIWIWIW
Rumor has it that the forum would be under audit. Because derek Yu wants to sell out to IGN.
Rumor has it that EA is buying the forums for 500 million dollars, and plans to release them as a Wiiware party game.
i blame gigglesworth. he saw the awesomeness at the tigsource draws robots thread and was jealous of their silly ‘top-fezzez’ and such, so he blew up the internets, a little. maybe.
that gigglesworth is always up to no good, but i never thought he would make a sick panda. what an ungentlemanly thing to do for a gentleman like himself.
Someone think of the pandas.
THINK OF THE PANDAS DAMNIT!!!
Oh the humanity.
I NEEDZ MEH TIGSAUCE
NAO PLZ
I’m having serious jitters from going without my TIGForums fix.
I don’t see why we couldn’t just host some temporary forum on another location, while using the same MySQL database.
Who put panda in my TIGER Sauce?!
Hey guys while you’re waiting why not try my new game:
Top Spinner
I know, I know, it needs a better name. Suggestions?

Seriously I need that forum. I actually get stuff done now. This just can’t be right.
the 3 in :3 still looks like a scrotum to me. There’s nothing for it, I’m afraid :/
I’m losing thousand of dollars for each hour the forums afre down.
Fix the forums, my business demands it!

Wow this was the good old times. I wonder if cyber95 remembers the internet now?
I heard they found some humans alive in australia. But hismight just be another rumor.
GTG now, need to find a new water chip.
