First fix:
  • open the menu at the top
  • hit New Posts to see what's actually new
  • 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 reduces the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, 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.

all kidding aside, the actions of the Police in this matter are quite frightening. The chilling effect created by arresting a lawyer in the courthouse in front of her client are more reaching and telling of a Police state than I believe most people realize. Imagine you're awaiting your day in court and your defender is arrested in the halls of justice right in front of you. This cock up speaks very loudly of the hubris of a large segment of the enforcement community. If they wanted his picture, it's in the mug book (he's at the courthouse facing charges, which means he was already booked - printed- and photographed). Furthermore, there are videos of him entering the courthouse (assuming those cameras I see everyday actually work). No, this action was to send a message. A very very frightening message.

No shit. If the accusation stands and it goes to court, the judge better goddamn well throw it out on its ear and blast the cop(s).

The cops complained because she was interfering -- IT'S HER JOB TO INTERFERE. She's the fucking defense attorney. Her job was/is to rain on their parade.

I shudder to think what's happening (happened) to the law-enforcement community in this country. There's always been a divide between civilians and the po-po, but the current situation is growing increasingly intolerable.

The cops responsible for this particular incident should really be flogged, or at the very least fired. To effectively assault a defense attorney for doing her job in the fucking courthouse is inexcusable and, as you say, demonstrates an incredible amount of hubris.

I should also hope the CA bar association gets involved. If they don't they're fools. If the cops can get away with it once that sets a precedent... :shock:

Like I said, this was a link WAFS shared on FB and below there was a lengthy discussion about legality of this arrest, main point is that a public defender was representing this guy in another case and was interfering with investigation in the case she has not involvement with...

WAFS should pop in and 'splain it, I'm just reciting what I may or may not remember correctly after skimming over in a hurry

seems he went from being very active here to MIA, should poke him on FB?
