Ok, I thought I would make a nice long and boring web news article for all of you who have no clue what has happened within the last 5-ish months. Also, marc made me do this. So if you don't like it, blame him at: marc@gotfuturama.com.

For all you newbies, here is what has happened within the last 6-ish months of the Futurama net community... About 6 months ago Jason Peavey deleted CGEF without Andie's approval, which of course made Andie mad ("grrrrr" kind of mad also). So, ever since then, he has been promising "a big comeback" which never happened (well, it did happen 4 days ago). According to Andie, the CGEF comeback was delayed because he was busy drinking and getting laid (a likely story).

While CGEF was gone, PEEL was also gone due to getting deleted by "mistake" when CGEF was deleted. PEEL was down for about 1 or 2 months before [-mArc-] finally got bored and paid for web hosting. Thus PEEL was back and running. Since then, PEEL (even though it was just a message board) was the most up-to-date Futurama general news web site. With new topics and posts every day (about 2200 new posts weekly), PEEL became a runaway success! (doesn't that sound lame? "A runaway success!")

While CGEF was gone, there were almost no general Futurama web sites, only character sites, a couple of one topic related sites like my own merchandise site, and a now deceased link site called Planet Roadmap. So the web was desperately lacking a "Futurama Super Site". There was The Futurama Point, but sadly the webmaster was and is too busy to update more than once or twice a week. Months before CGEF's deletion, The Futurama Outlet was down due to the fact that the host they were at screwed them up and held their content hostage if they didn't pay up for something that is still unclean in my head. The Futurama Outlet has been promising to have a new host and a new layout for the past 6 months, yet the net community hasn't seen any of this come true.

So while CGEF was gone, sites like The Leela Zone, Say Argh, And Good news Everyone were making up for the lack of quality in futurama sites - and, I have to say, those 3 sites did a very good job doing so. Sadly, Good News Everyone has fallen off the face of this earth and no one knows where it is. So we might lose a wonderful Farnsworth site now.
