  1. Hey guys! I have been trying to choose someone to spotlight as the Member of the Month based on their contributions to the website. Previous Member of the months include @broadwaybeyonder, @JohnnyChany, and most recently @Peypeypeypey. I picked them in June, July and September respectively, but in August when I could not get my schedule to work with me, I left it up to you guys to choose a future member of the month and you chose me! I do thank you all for that, but I wanted to do something a bit different this month as well, I'll get to that in a bit so stay a bit and read on . First I'm going to explain why I chose to step in and keep the website alive when I did, and what it means to me. In 2020, I revisited MagneticFox after some years of not participating just based on pure nostalgia. I had been talking to my wife about how I used to write and looked up some of my old setups (Ah how I thought I could write, turns out I was actually pretty bad at it and had fun laughing at myself.) But then, I saw a post referencing the ElectricFerret revival and so I jumped back onto the forum and again let my nostalgia whisk me away. I have fond memories of debating on these forums with other members such as @Nesh @C.T. @ND7 @DamagingRob @Skirmisher and many others. I know I was always a bit of a Dragon Ball nerd (and still am) but that didn't matter here, I was in a place where nerds belonged. In 2021 Fox had announced his wish to retire from the website and either hand it off or close it down. Now truth be told I was not the only one who stepped up and hoped to keep the site online, @Z451 being one of the others that come to mind. And honestly, I didn't care who the site went to, I just couldn't let it go away again. You see to me, this site wasn't just a place for nerds to me, it wasn't just nostalgia to me, it was an escape from reality. In 2007 I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma Disease, I was told at that time I had really only months left to live. Spoiler alert, but, Judging by the way I type here now, that doctor was very much wrong on his assessment that he was "999%" sure of and it just turned out to be Cat Scratch disease which went away in a couple of months. However, in those few months, I shut myself away from the world, constantly trying to escape what I thought was the end and I buried my mind into anime and comics, constantly ignoring everything to get that last bit of enjoyment I could squeeze before I would inevitably get sick from treatments. That is when I stumbled upon ElectricFerret while searching for "Goku vs. Superman" (Yes, really) and fell fast onto this site. This site was The first thing I would go to when I got home from school and the last thing I would check when going to bed. @Fox probably didn't even know this, but he had given me a very real thing to give this kid who thought he was dying something to look forward to each night. In 2013 when it shut down, I was not as active as I had been before having a lot of things going on in my life at that time to really notice, so when I check in on the site and realized it was gone, It sucked, but I moved on. Fast forward to 2021, and this time I had a chance to save this site. I have worked in childcare most of my career and just the idea that something as dumb as a nerdy website giving a kid out there that breath of life they needed really needed stuck in my mind. I couldn't let this site disappear again. Fox warned me how hard this was going to be for someone not fully experienced especially in the languages needed to run the site. Boy have I been humbled the past year thinking I could just figure it out as I went along. I have made many errors so far, even knocking the website completely offline for an entire weekend in February. Fox stepped in each time and helped me (I'm sure it's super annoying when I mess up, especially since he just wants to be done with the site already heh.) He never expected anything in return and for that, I can't thank him enough. So, I decided that I would take this post as a chance to tell why I have kept MagneticFerret going, and why I will continue to do so for as long as I can. I wanted to thank everyone who helped me do so, and everyone who didn't ditch the site when it had a change of ownership. But I also wanted to share a fun update on something else happening. Going forward the Member of The Month will not be chosen by me, it will be chosen by you guys! If you would like to nominate someone, simply message me and tell me why, I will pick ONE nomination and pursue that! One last thing, I have made it clear that I really wish to have a certain part of the website up and running again, but it takes a lot of time to fully understand these things and after a year of trying and failing to truly understand how much time it takes to put into this, I have decided to pursue getting a certificate in coding which will help my understanding on how this all operates and not just on a "keep it alive" basis. I have plans to update and expand the site even more but those such updates will take time so please bear with me a bit longer. However, something fun recently happened and older user @Paru reached out to me about getting his username back online, he hadn't logged in in 12 YEARS, so to make sure I was doing it right I reached out to Fox for some advice. He not only answered my question but has offered a bit more help. Help that will allow me to say this... The CBUB Fantasy Draft Returns in October 2023!!! (More news on that VERY soon!) Thank you all!

  2. The take the Bear out together and then turn on each other. I'm leaning towards Lesnar as perhaps the more purely physically able all-round fighter of the two, but it is definitely a close thing. And just for fun:

  4. Yes absolutely correct, have enough to extend our community for another year, we'll see where we land after that. The new domain has already been put up and while the servers are not put up to reflect that, I'm just waiting on the image as each day I purchase in advance is a day way lose near the end. I'd like to try and put it online as close to May 2nd as comfortably possible. That said the Gofundme is still up and all funds will go into a side account to put towards the future of CBUB. Let's not say our goodbyes just yet

  5. Huh, last I checked, the current lease, if it's not renewed, should actually run out in April: So, unless something's changed since Fox made this post, barring someone else taking over right after the fact, we may actually have just over another month. Also, we may want to give IKA a chance at running things, since he's been taking steps to give it a shot.

  6. Hi All. It has been maybe 7 months since re-opening the site. Thanks for hanging out and participating! Here's some of the things that I'm looking at for the site in the new year. Monthly Flash Fiction Tournaments - monthly tournament will resume with a new Rating system. The 5 star rating system that the forum has is cool but too limited. There is just not enough flexibility in the Forum 5-Star System to give more fine grained scores (like, say, a 4.5 or 4.6). So the Tournaments will return when I build a new rating mechanism for our wonderful Match Judges to use. Fantasy Teams - the fantasy teams has been fun, I think. It is an evolving system, and is getting updates and changes based on feedback of it. We'll keep on playing and improving it as we go! CBUB Database - There are several Wikis out there which have data about the characters that are in the CBUB Database. I'm hoping to connect to those Wikis and use their data to make the entries in the CBUB database easier to use in battles. The VS Battles Wiki is one that could be really useful. Other Stuff - I'll keep fixing things or adding features when you bring them to my attention, of course. Just let me know. You can, of course, use the site features like the Blog section to post things that interest you. I use mine for the occasional Anime review. I would like the site to be the best it can be at what it is! All that said... the CBUB has returned to a very different world than the one it left. As far as getting new members goes, this is probably about as good as it gets. I point this out because some of you have asked or mentioned it. I've tried running ads and so forth - it's money down the drain to no effect. This is a very niche kind of website and this is not the halcyon days of the 1990's when comics were king and the internet was young. Anyways, this site is here because you asked for it to be here - and as long as you are entertained by it, that's really all that matters to me, personally. I'll just keep doing what I do and trying to make it better. Thanks!

  8. I feel as though I have not been actively letting everyone know what I am working on enough. I promise some good things are coming, exactly when is dependent on when I feel the code is 100% solid enough not to wipe all of our hard work. Fox has been very generous in helping me to understand how to modify aspects of the site, while I also have tried on my own how to update and push new code in. Anyway, here are some updates that will be executed soon - 1) Fantasy Drafts - It comes as no surprise that I have been working on bringing back the drafts, They will remain very similar to how they have always been done before. (Coming When I feel comfortable not knocking everything offline. Soon.) 2) CBUB "How to" - As our site grows, so will the questions on how the site works. While our site Veterans have been VERY supportive - and I can't be thankful enough for that - soon a forum will be made explaining all the ins and outs of "How To" on CBUB. 3) Locations - In each setup, it is expected for the writer to describe the location in which their competition is taking place. With the addition of locations, this will make Rumbles easier to quickly post and add an optional extra for our CBUB Matches to fall back on should a reader not know of a certain location. Locations will have their own section in the database which will be put in similar to how characters are entered now, only this will be optional and not a requirement for set-ups. (This one is going to take a while) 4) Tournaments - While our 1st challenge is underway, before now this would have more closely resembled how "Tournaments" would have worked before. Going Forward, Tournaments will be reworked to include brackets and add a layer of competitive writing amongst our members. (Coming VERY soon) 5) 2024 - At the very least I am pleased to say I have secured funding to keep the site alive for an additional year passed what we expected, may it live long past that. 6) 2025 - Working so secure our future. I will add more to this list as time rolls on and take out what has been added. Successfully implemented: "ReadMore" Ads (Yes I know, I know) ) Nevermind, they were actually really annoying. WE FINALLY HAVE THE MAIN PAGE BACK! CBUB Tutorials CBUB Writer's Challenges, Tournaments, and the likes. We'll be here until at least May 2024 (Donations may be necessary to live passed that.) Repost - Will occasionally repost 3 random matches from the CBUB Archive, All rumble, original creators credited. Finally figured out how to delete images, will be fixing profiles. Dark Mode / Light Mode + New Theme at bottom of page. Background additions to be added. (Can switch between newly created background and classic EF) CBUB New theme is now old theme, we have returned to Dreadnought 2.3.4 (Just has more options, widget broke on other them.) (CBUB will remain as optional theme at bottom of website.) Various other parts of the website have been restored, images regained, and links put back. (More to be added soon.) Restored some old FPL profiles (for viewing purposes only.) Logo switched out, emblems changed. Some main page cosmetic updates (A lot more soon to follow now that I figured it out.) Updated top match creators to only include those who have posted 10 or more matches.

  10. I know I'm sounding like a broken record now, but if you guys wouldn't mind, please click this link and join as many of the pages MagneticFerret is linked to as possible. It will go a long way to making sure I can keep this website going into the future. I'm not a rich guy, I scraped the bottom of the bank accounts to keep the dream alive. I would greatly appreciate it. https://www.twitch.tv/themagneticferret https://discord.gg/tJK84jkW6w https://www.patreon.com/MagneticFerret?fan_landing=true https://www.facebook.com/TheMagneticFerret/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Kh23bJGJ2NvcupAISlzlQ

  11. So, as you all may know by now, the CBUB is either going to shut down, or get transferred over to new ownership in March. In case the site does go into shutdown, I thought I would go ahead and make this topic. Well, I have enjoyed being back on the site. It has been nice seeing old friends again, as well as making new ones. I was glad I was able to work more on my Zombie Power Rangers arc. Sorry to say I won’t be able to finish it. I have enjoyed reading the matches that were made by other writers. The Fantasy Seasons were really good. Happy to see characters that I have added over the years were being used in matches. I am going to miss the CBUB. But who knows, maybe the site will run another year or more. We’ll just see how things go. If this is the end, I would like to say goodbye to everyone. You all are great people. 🙂

  13. The site is open. Registration is open. The core features seem to work regarding Matches (start and stop) and adding Characters. The Forum has a lot of features. It's pretty fun. Changes: Rated matches now occur via the Stars rating 'Rate This Topic'. Any forum member can rate a Rated Match ... and are encouraged to do so! Members titled as CBUB Match Judge get their ratings counted X3. Points by rank There's still 5 ranks, with 5 being lowest and 1 highest. There used to be an arcane system whereby certain ranks could only be achieved after a certain number of matches had been created. That's all been removed. It's just a flat system based on your current weighted average regardless of number of matches. Added more points to rank 5 so newbies can make more matches. now 4, up from 2. So anyways, it works. It's probably not a great website to try and use on a Mobile phone. It's only been open a couple days. Could be awhile before there's more people here. I'll look into repairing the Fantasy Draft system. Maybe we can get one going in a couple weeks. Thanks!

  15. Before we start Round 2, we are going to do a 2nd chance round! The following were eliminated in round 1, and will have a chance to re enter the tournament. @DSkillz @broadwaybeyonder @Culwych1 @Gizmo Hibiki @Pizzaguy2995 You all have ONE week to post a new tournament match. The contender with the Highest overall score will be re entered into the tournament. It must be posted before May 5th, 2024 at 11:59PM ET How will this work with the grand prize? Should anyone in this 2nd chance go on to win the tournament, they will receive a $50 Digital Visa gift card and the Runner up will get a $50 Digital Visa gift card. Should someone who was not eliminated in round one go on to win, they will receive the full $100 Digital Visa gift card. If I am in a position to have receive a reward it will instead be passed on to whomever was the next runner up. @Gizmo Hibiki's current match that was entered too late for round 1 will be his submission for the 2nd chance round.

  20. THE BOTTOM LINE An excerpt from the memoirs of Benoit Blanc. I don’t know what disappoints me more: my tardiness in detailing my investigations or the quality of the investigation itself. I do not mean to say that I would consider bringing a corrupt detective to justice something to sneeze at. But this particular case was not so much a donut whose hole needed to be filled. Rather this entire affair was so straightforward it could be considered a Danish. Or perhaps, given the guilty party, a bear claw would be more zoologically appropriate? Being pointed in the direction of McGruff by the sheriff, it didn’t take me long before I was able to tail him to one of his many rendezvous. He was meeting with a group of local vagabonds, exchanging a box of evidence for a satchel of money. It saddened my heart to see such a loyal friend of a police department go to the dogs. So to speak. Following a search of his one room apartment, wherein I uncovered more stolen evidence and files, I quickly alerted the sheriff to have a warrant made out for McGruff’s arrest. He attempted to ‘skip town’, but he was apprehended by the town’s K9 unit. Proving that not all police dogs share McGruff’s greedy, treacherous nature. After that, there isn’t much left to be written. The townsfolk were grateful for my assistance in bringing McGruff and the rest of his lackeys to justice. They even gave me a bronze plaque and the key to the city. But something within still longs for a more challenging case for me to undertake. But then again, maybe I should take some time to rest myself. Ready my mind for the next endeavor awaiting Benoit Blanc. Perhaps somewhere abroad? I hear Greece is lovely this time of year.

Congratulations to Culwych1's Lt. Ellen Ripley vs. Han Solo - 4.88| The fact that the lowest and the highest scoring matches had less than a 0.7 rating between them shows that this was anyone's game and that everyone who entered should be proud of what they entered! Keep an eye out as the 2nd challenge will be here sooner than you might think!

  22. Hello everyone, I wanted to update all of you about the goings on. CBUB and the Forums - will be switching to MagneticFerret.com in the coming days. MOST of how the site is experienced now will remain the same with only some minimal changes. The Logo will be changed, some rules will be switch up and the website WILL contain targeted ads. Updates to the site will come slow at first while I attempt to learn the code, It has been some time since I fully delved into code and I don't want to make any mistakes that will be a hinderance, so changes will only be made when they are done so with confidence. Everything should be ported over so there should be nothing to worry about things missing. I would like to extend an extra bit of gratitude to Fox as he is allowing the site to live on even though he is retiring from the website, he could have simply closed up shop and taken the site with him. It would have been way easier for him to do that. He is not charging for me to take the site off his hands either so this is only possible due him being completely selfless. All that being said, I will do my best to keep or corner of the net as close as possible to the way we know and love it to be. Please feel free to ask questions below and I will answer them as I know the answer myself! Thanks, IKA

  23. To be fair, it took some pretty extraordinary happenings in the world for that to come about. It wasn't a planned thing. People wanted something to do during lockdown. I do think the folks that have been playing around here over the last couple years and participating in the contests have been entertained. And now they are going to take it forward and do whatever they want with it, as I retire once more. Thanks!

  33. Sorry, your logic does not work for me at all. Corona beer has not suffered in sales at all despite sharing a name with a dread virus. In fact, as far as I understand it, Corona remains the most valuable beer brand whose sales have actually gone UP! Your premise is false. And also Cats rule, dogs drool.

Goblins: Alongside Orcs and Kobolds, you'll find this creature in numerous myths and legends (and at the end of most adventurer's weapons) Lich (D&D): What do you get when you mix the stongest sorcerors or wizards in the land with a sprinkling of undeath - that's right, the spellcasting, terror inspiring, world conquering Lich. Nymph: the sexy ancient female greek type Imp: the small mischievous demonic type Bee from The Babysitter films: hot and deadly, the satanic killer is in the house.

  37. It is absolutely fair to call out when somebody is trying to leverage powers a character has which are beyond the intended scope of the slot. For example, Jinny Hex apparently has a green lantern ring laying around. Is it fair to debate a character using a green lantern ring in the Wild West slot? Not at all. So we ignore it.

  44. OOC: As uncomfortable as this makes CFPT, the player, uncomfortable, I imagine that after Muggy the character Received a reaction like that from her, he would inquire what time she got off work and if he could show her something in his room. And would then proceed to roll a Charisma check to engage in adult activity with her. Shape of Water style. I wanted to covey that I’m the least gross way possiblè, I hope this OOC explanation accomplished that.

  45. Is this what I am reduced to? Announcing matches used for testing? This match is not worthy of a Goddess' attention and will be rated accordingly.

  47. It's coming along. Just trying to get the new character submissions working again. With any good fortune, might be able to open up the CBUB control panel and site registrations tomorrow. Definitely want to do a CBUB Fantasy Draft again. Good times. I'll look at the FPL next. It's very complicated and could be a lot longer before that is available again.
