As posted by Daisee in the Babble Forum, there is a new Angus Experiment available called a Sparkling Startree. She wrote, "It is big like the Fruity Tree but it has yellow stars and a moon hanging from the branches. When you click on them they make musical sounds, explode surprises and sparkle. Really cool. I have one in my crib tickledpink2 so you can check it out there."

Here's a pic posted a little later by one of our great mods, mystery66...

The U.B.Funkeys Babble Forum Version 2.0 is now open. Please do not use usernames that you know were used by others on the old forum. They will have first dibs on those usernames, so if you take them you'll have to choose another anyway...

Sorry for all the problems. Click here, sign up, and enjoy!

It’s hard for me to admit defeat, but the Funkeys Babble forum suffered a tragic end today. The database is completely corrupt and the hosting service I use does not allow for the replacement of a database that large from backup.

I do plan to re-instate a forum here, and hope to have at least a general area to converse in by the end of the night. User accounts will need to be re-created, so everyone please avoid using usernames that you know others were using here. I’m going to allow those who had them the first time keep them based on e-mail address, so if you make one that someone else already has claim to, you’ll lose it and have to choose a new name.

I’ll update you all as I have news. Tonight as I said before will be very basic. I’ll add the categories and the look & feel of the old forum as I get time this week.

Sorry all, I’m just as disappointed as the rest of you. This was my baby…

It took a while, but I've finally finished making the new smilies for the forum. They have a new look to them that I like much better and I have now added the Funkeystown Adventure Pack characters as well as Hidden Realm. Go update your collection threads!

Oh and there's now individual smilies for the three rarities of scratch, so you'll want to update those as well. Some samples...

As anyone on the Funkeys Babble Forum knows, WTGTIV is one talented dude... :) Between his animated Funkeys graphics and his custom painted Funkeys, we were all impressed. But now he's outdone himself with these Funkeys Familiars he created...

Today, January 6th marks the one year anniversary of the U.B.Funkeys Babble Forum going online! In a freak coincidence, we had our 800th member join today as well... :)

If you still haven't joined in the conversation, come on in!

While the majority of the forum members were blissfully unaware of the problems, I've been frantically trying to fix some issues with the forum the last two evenings. (yes, that's why you've been seeing "augietest" accounts on the boards) I realized that the extremely low new-member rate since August 20th or so was because most if not all those who submitted their registration after that date were getting an error page and never received their confirmation e-mail. On top of that, the forum WAS creating the non-activated accounts which meant that every time someone would try again to make an account (and believe me, there were some that tried 5 or 6 times) they had to use a different e-mail address. It ended up being something tied to the high-score display that I built in to everyone's member profile page, and unfortunately in the end, I had to get rid of that feature...

I'm very sorry to those who have been going through this very frustrating process. If you still feel like joining, everything seems to working just dandy again.

FOR THOSE WHO GOT A REMINDER E-MAIL YESTERDAY: If you got one and clicked to confirm your account, you may be one of a small group who's accounts were just too messed up to work correctly. If you are, you will not see ANY posts when you log in. If this is the case, I again apologize because you'll need to start from scratch and make a new account. If you really like the user name you used, or you only have one e-mail address, please submit to me the user name you created and the e-mail address associated to it and I'll delete the account making way for you to recreate it.

It's been a little while since the blog has been updated, but it's been pretty exciting on this end. In addition to watching the Funkeys Forum start to come to life, we've been in contact with a source from Mattel who has shared some things with us. We're still trying to figure out how to use the images and information on the site, but we will definitely make sure to share it all! As a teaser, here to the left is a "propaganda" image from Tarrapinia. Click on it to see a larger view...

One thing that they have agreed to is to allow us to gather questions from all of you and compile a list of four or five at a time (maybe every 2 to 3 weeks) that we feel represent what's on everyone's minds at the time. They will then send us the answers to post to the site. More details on that later, but for now feel free to sign up for the forum and add your questions here for consideration...

Later all....

The forum was introduced and went live late this past Monday and then there was a bit of a technical issue so people couldn't sign up for most of Tuesday (sorry about that). That's all fixed now, so go therefore and babble!

Have a question about the game? Ask away! Have the answers, tips, tricks? Help the others!

The board is in it's infancy and needs you all to help build some momentum...

Go sign up to the UBFunkeys Babble Forum... Babble away!

I tried to get this up and running yesterday evening, but I didn't get very far in customizing the look and feel. I would have preferred to get it all nice and perfect before letting all you Funkey Monkeys loose, but I just can't see me getting back to it until the weekend. Things are busy enough at work that I'll be spending my free evenings working. That on top of the fact that many of you are starting to chat away on this blog section tells me you really want somewhere to talk about the game!

So with no further ado, I present to you the UBFunkeys Babble Forum...

Go! Sign up! Babble!
