EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
Show
First fix:
  • open the menu at the top
  • hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
  • go back to the Forum Index
  • open the menu at the top again
  • click Mark forums read
    this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.


Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.

Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.

PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.


Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

Mine isn't passing that much metal but I have the extra engine for when it does. This way I can keep a fresh one "on the shelf"...

I'd rather find the noise before it assplodes and punched a hole in the case... just sayin. I've also seen cams get all fucked up on those, mine was slightly pitted, but seen another one had wiped out the lobes.

I have found several ways of not dealing with things, like chronic stress, nearly falling into alcoholism, compulsive eating, things that will turn you into that guy, the one all used up and in ill health, hopeless.

The message I have today is that this shit will change you, and you have to honor your feelings. You have to take care of yourself. Your life is at stake.

What do I mean about honoring your feelings? Something along these lines: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-robb ... 34273.html

I have to fight off urges to crawl inside a bottle some days, and I'm very wary of falling down a slippery slope in that direction. It scares the shit out of me. But for the moment I'm doing all right, focusing on work and my health, hitting the gym on the regular.
It's a stack of fuck-shit on top of itself, Ninja.
