Hey guys! I’m BACK! This week with a fun filled Around The Ring all about the Left 4 Dead level set Death Toll. It has a boat! Joining us are two buddies that I met a month ago playing the game, Maddie (a girl), and Buzz Killing Tin (an Australian). We set a new record for submissions, and bleeping in a single episode >.>, seriously this one was pretty crazy, but fun. It’s taken a bit longer to come out because of the tedious editing I had to do (select, split, copy, paste, select, generate tone, zoom in). That and other things my weekend were filled with. The site art is different because it was apparently too cute for the podcast, but meh. I love my weird stuffy! The winner of the longest submission is El Smacko, who actually isn’t from here. El Smacko hails from the TSL forums. We had to paraphrase parts of it, but read the shownotes, it’s full of good stuff. Enjoy the show!

Just as a heads up, we will be moving the site in the next couple of days. During this time, the site will be offline. We ask that you please be patient while we make the transition. Thanks.
Oh, the naivete. What we really meant was that we were going to be testing your patience and resolve while we just sat around, ate marshmallows and flung boogers at the ceiling for the last week. Then we decided to turn the site back on and have a laugh.
OK, not really. While we had every intention of having the site moved within two to three days, things went and got all crazy in the process, including Dust Storm and I not being able to find the site for two days. Yes, we LOST THE SITE in the intertubez. *GASP!*
Once we regained our composure and got things back in order, somebody (I won’t mention who but his name rhymes with Crust Form) worked a little too much voodoo on the new forums and made them get all broked. But we’re working on getting that fixed so you can all get back to your discussions.
Something else you surely must’ve noticed by now is that the homepage looks a lot different than what it used to be. That’s because we made a move to WordPress for our blogging platform of choice. Over the next week or so, you might see some funny business as we try and clean up some of the mess left over from the move, and if things start breaking, please use the contact form to let us know.
What this means for the podcast and community news is an all-around zippier site that won’t set the server on fire any time someone posts a comment. (Yay.) Unfortunately, what this also means for you, our dear listeners, is that there won’t be the same sort of features that we had before, like user profiles, buddy lists or individual blogs. (Boo.) I know that’s a hard pill to swallow, but over the years, we’ve seen that most of the activity around the site has found a home in our forums, which, did I mention are now updated!
So welcome to the new Podtacular. In a new home, and hopefully faster and more reliable than ever, thanks to the good folks at The Waffle Iron, and back on track as one of the best Halo communities IN THE WORLD.
Well, after unfortunate circumstances of me forgetting to bring my editing pieces home with me over the break, the episode is making it’s appearance. Captain Planet makes his appearance on Podtacular this week and Crypto misses out for reasons I don’t remember. We have a few submissions from new maps and still a good number from the older ones.. Thanks to Fungus Oz for this week’s podart. Enjoy.

PCU March 19th, 2009 – In like a lion…
Hey everybody! Welcome to the new and improved Podtacular Clan Update. This new series of updates will be posted on the Podtacular home page rather than the forums. All discussion is welcome in the General Discussion threads. The PCU will now also cover the upcoming Podtacular Pro Clan. The structure will be a little different, but we hope you like it. Oh, and sorry its so late. :P
Well, a sad day in the Podtacular history has come where the future of the community lies in the balance. Our beloved CapnKrunk has been gracious to manage the website hosting for almost three years. Now he’s facing not having a job and having to pay for the website himself, which is not an easy burden at $250 a year. There have been little donations and the advertisements on the site have not produced any income. So now it’s time to decide the fate of Podtacular.
Many of the 500s is due to the fact that Krunk had to lower the hosting drastically so he wouldn’t be paying as much. Also, every time the podtacular site 500, the rest of Krunk’s sties did, which are his online portfolios that are needed for him to get a job. That’s why he has given us till the end of the month to make a decision. He also did not appreciate the whine thread about the site being down. Yes it was down, no it wasn’t our fault, but the fact is that it’s still here and there are other things outside Podtacular. Things break sometimes and they just have to be fixed.
We have been talking with friend of the show, Fyb3r from This Spartan Life about looking into the hosting they have. It looks very promising that we will be able to keep the majority of the site intact, but we will probably be downsizing the site to a Word Press type homepage with the forums. A lot of this is still up in the air, but we are definitely moving soon.
We appreciate all the donations we do get, but if you are looking to donate in the near future, please do so in the courtesy of paying back Krunk for all that he has done for the site. Krunk will still be around to help fix the site, but other than that, he is moving onto other things, and it has been a real blessing to have him be a part of Podtacular history. We will miss you and all your crazy voicemails ;)
