LOOK AT THIS!!! WE DID IT!!!

It's been over a year, and this place has been through a lot, but it's finally up and running and totally dead-sexy!

What do you get?

• 15 awesome galleries full of diverse talent!
• A weekly comic-strip section, which will be fully operational in the near future!
• Fanart from the forum members and other miscellaneous rad artists!
• The super awesomely infamous forum, which is avaliable in 3 very tasty little flavors!
• A store where you can buy prints and posters created by us. Later down the track also shirts and stickers!
• A library full of our individual contacts and RSS feeds!
• Plus a links section full of stellar sites we've all grown to love.

None of this would have been possible without the mind-blowing coding and design work from our very own Dylan and SpyderFSG. These two guys busted their nuts to make this place the way it is and they can't possibly know how thankful the rest of the SS crew and I are. YOU GUYS RULE!

Also, this wouldn't be nearly as rewarding without the support of the guys and gals who current the forum and helped make that place as cool as it is. Without them, it'd just be us, the SatelliteSoda members, and as cool as we are we need them! DESPERATELY!!!

So I'll quit yapping and let you people get to the site, please contact us with any comments, suggestions, or problems you might run into on the site, and if you're registered on the forum just post your thoughts there.

One thing to keep in mind is that the site was intended to be viewed on modern browsers (such as Firefox or anything new). So if anything looks "off", update your browser and you'll see the site the way it was meant to.

Thanks for stopping by, and spread the word!

Due to the leaking of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Childern on to the internet, a Final Fantasy VII Jam is now happening on the SS forums, go join the fun...you know you want to!!!

For more information on this weeks jam click here.

Also, due to the line up change last week certain updates had to be made. What was a simple task, add the new members to the entry page, turned out to be an awesome collab between Nick, Shane and Myself. Plus a completely fresh entry page came out of it. I love that it looks like a concert poster!

Incase you didn't know our forums have been taken over and will be replaced ASAP. This means everyone will have to re-register and we're all going to have to start from scratch. Hang in there, don't cry, we can do it... TOGETHER!

Sorry for the trouble,
Stay classy Planet Earth,

-Dave

UPDATE
Well It would seem that all is well... for now at least. The forum code has been updated and just needs to be tweaked some. But it all works and we encourage you to post and be active. In the end all this proves is that we will never go away and it just makes us stronger.

As for this act of temporarily hijacking the forums, I think we can all agree that this was a low act of cowardice and/or jealousy. If the attacker thinks they've accomplished anything, then they're right. All it did was strengthen my resolve and the rest of the SS Crew's to continue at no matter what the cost.

Thanks for the e-mails and support that we've recieved during these two attacks we've had. We really appreciate it as it means we must be doing something right. Stay classy cool people of the interweb.

November 1st was the one year anniversary of the SatelliteSoda site, one year since the site first went up already, so we're going to celebrate all month long, maybe a bit longer! To kick things off is one of three special weekly jams we'll be running this month on the SatelliteSoda forums. Special because they will all tie back to SatelliteSoda in some way.

November 1 is the beginning of the first SatelliteSoda related jam focusing on our evil characters, Chairman Badfunk, Devastator Funk and Sir Psycho!!!

November 8 will be the next SatelliteSoda related jam, focusing on our more pleasant characters in comparison, FLB, Kid Missile and the Space Chicka.

November 15 will be the third jam and a small departure from the SatelliteSoda Universe, though still tied back to SatelliteSoda.

November 22 we will be having a weeks rest.

November 29...hang on, I only said three jams, I wonder what will happen on that day?! Something fun most likely. :]

All pictures completed for the jams will be added to the fanart gallery on the main site, along with links to the artists site.

Keep an eye on this space and the forums for more developments on SatelliteSoda Month!!!

Enjoy! :]

A lot of the forum members have been asking our very own Shane to sell stickers/shirts of the little ugly bogus guys he's been doing. So to please the masses he's set up a store on cafepress.

Our very own Kris Anka took first runner up in the 2006 Spotlight Awards Visual Arts competitions.

A BIG congratulations are in order for our youngest member. You can read more about the this contest here.

You can check out the high rez image in his gallery.

Satellite Soda is holding its last contest for 2005! YOU WANT FREE SODA SHIRT!? Of course you do! The contest is simple: All you have to do is show Mouse (either the character or the actual person himself) being made fun of, mocked, ridiculed, or humiliated in the most creative way possible. Illustration, sequential, or whatever; and only one entry per person. Violence is acceptable, but the only mandatory rule is creativity. Come have some fun by making a fool of Mouse at Mouse's own expense and help welcome in 2006 with a sensual and smooth Satellite Soda tee! It's free! Except you have to win it! So it's not!! Get to work, though, because the deadline is December 23rd, 1AM (PST).

Mochi Escape Technique!

POOF!!

SatelliteSoda co-founder Shane Long has been busy as a bee on crack, screen-printing his ass off with his friend Rob Stanton to form the ultimate gig-poster-design-and-serigraph-company! All hail UGLYBOGUS!!!
