| New Lay-out: Episode 5 |
| October 1st, 2008 |
| Yes, it's time. A new layout will be coming, but by no means will it be big. Unlike at the end of older lay-outs, I have no regrets this time. I thought it looked great when I made it, and I still very much like it, but I have some new ideas in which I would like to incorperate into the next lay-out. In addition to the new lay-out, I would like to clean up the server. Meaning, delete files from the summer of '06 that I havn't even come close to using again. I am considering changing the color scheme to a white and grey image, however the blue one definitly fits the logo very well. (We've never really had a 'set' color scheme. In the June 2006 lay-out, it was black and rainbow, which would today make my eyes bleed. The July 2006 and December 2006 lay-outs consisted of way too much color. Blue didn't come into play until April 2008, when it consisted of blue and low quality images. The layout that is current is the May 2008 lay-out. I will try to post some of the old lay-out soon, so we will have them for reference. PS: You may have noticed that I started the layout change already, with the new navigation menu and getting rid of the comment box. |

| ...WOW!!! Over two months without updates. There is a lot to say. Between good and bad, a lot has happened since the last update at the end of July. The main reason for no updates is I was away for over half of August, and September brought back the return of the dreaded school. Mix that with a lack of motivation, and you have a pretty lazy site admin. A lot of stuff to tell you... so here we go: - Tub McChubs will be switching servers beginning October 1st, from Geocities Pro to Yahoo! Web Hosting. Lets hope it isn't as much of a pain in the ass recovering every single page as it was in when we switches to Geocities Pro. We've been with them since November 2006, when we became a.com server and it's been great. That switch did not change the tool used to modify the pages. This switch likely will. I really don't know much about it yet. - My hard drive crashed. This really sucks. Luckly, I backed up all of my files in July, when experiencing problems with my graphics card. The crash brings me to a temporary profile every time I log on. So, I still have all of the programs I had before, but all of the files are gone, and only exist on backup disks. Every time I log on, it says, "System voltage too low!" I want to be able to have a working harddrive without losing Flash. This may mean getting a new computer... I don't know. - My friend Will and I (a different one who has a big head and was in 'Super Mario Virtual Reality') found a way to make more videos with his camera. We made one movie back in June, "The Sleepover" witch we finally got onto the computer. We hope to have that up on YouTube sometime in the next couple days. - I would like to do another redesign of Tub McChubs... This may sound odd... but I would like to do it. I probably won;t get a chance to do anything big to this site until I have the hard drive problem sorted out. - The fan network is off. It just didn't work out. Gapern didn't have the time to make it, and the page would look like crap if we finished it. I am still open ino hosting work sent to me in news posts if there is anything you want me to host. We that was a lot. More bad than good. I hope to get stuff back on track and keep you posted. |

| Hey dudes! I have been slacking a little... but my monitor has been annoying. I have worked on 'Will's Head: The Untold Story' some more today. I also changed the logos for Jaliza's Castle and Attack of the Odins. They are a lot better. I also removed four videos from YouTube: 1. Mexican Lawnmower 2. Burrying Baseballs 3. Umberto Throwing Matt 4. Devon's Amazing Hair Flip Oh yah, and I made one more PhotoShop Asian face post! Here are the 3 that I have made so far: -Asian Kart Wii -Gasian Pantsless Pizza Delivery -Asianmo'n Convention |

| The Renovations Continue |
| February 19th, 2009 |
| While it may appear that the last news post was in October, Tub McChubs has not actually been dead for 4.5 months. I have been on and off, slowly finishing the new layout of Tub McChubs. A lot has happened since my last update, so let me fill you in on some things. Another Tubby Christmas was not submitted because I really didn't feel like submitting a crap movie to Newgrounds, and have it get awful scores. (No, I will not release it next Christmas) Lets just say that Tub McChubs holiday specials were an epic fail. The only movies that have succeeded on Tub McChubs have been the ROKK series. I released part five on April 16th, and that was my last flash. I'm not going to set a date of when it will be finished, because I know I will slack off and never get it out in time. Now back to the site! There are some obvious changes to Tub McChubs. The first would be the banner. I was finally able to coordinate the new logo with the banner without it looking shitty. I also made new banners for ever page, and a new navigation bar. There's even a news archive navigation bar. It is now sorted by year, and the five most recent post will be on the front page. I have so far completed the 2007 and 2008 news archives. That's what I have completed, here's what still needs to be done. The Flash and Video pages have not been re-done yet. However, they are still functional, because clicking on them just brings you to the pages in the old format. Speaking of flash and video, my buddy and I released a new video back on October 7th, titled "Da Sleepova'". WATCH IT NOW. I also need to remake the 2006 news archive. This is not work that will take very long to do, but depending on how lazy / motivated I feel, it could take a while. That was a lot! Thanks for reading all of that shit, and check back soon- Andy |
| Tub McChubs Crap Movies: 2006 - 2009 |
| April 4th, 2009 |
| It took me all the way until April 4th, 2009 to do something I should have done a long time ago... Get rid of all crap movies, and take them off Newgrounds. Newgrounds is really annoying though, 'cause if your movie was viewed by over 1,000 people, you can't remove it. I have decided to post Another Tubby Christmas exclusively on Tub McChubs, once I find a host big enough to hold it. The sidebar as you can see was edited a bit. Thats it for now. (Check back in July. If you're lucky I might have made one more post.) |
