I can't say I followed him closely, and he didn't have the ubiquitous presence of Shatner or Takei's amazing presence in social media, but by all accounts he was a solid guy. And frankly, he did this, so he must be cool. Safe travels space man.

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.

First fix:
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!
- 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.

Re: Leonard Nimoy passed today...
Mr. Leonard Nimoy was born in 1931. Less than three weeks before the Empire State Building was completed.
Today is, literally, the first day the Empire State stands in a world without Leonard Nimoy.
I'm not grieving, not really. He was an impressive actor who lent his face to an impressive character. He is stamped on pop-culture like few other things. Even people who don't know Trek know Mr. Spock. In large part because Mr. Nimoy did such an outstanding job. He didn't just entertain people, but he touched them, or the Trekkies wouldn't be so obsessed. As far as the arts go, that's a full score, I reckon.
He had a long run, and he saw some stuff. Maybe not a happy life, I don't know, but he lived it, lived it well. Good job, sir.
Just feels weird that he's gone ...

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Re: Leonard Nimoy passed today...
I never knew he directed Three Men And A Baby.
That being said, my 20-something coworker looked at his picture when I mentioned that he had passed, and true to the Youtube generation he actually attempted to show me the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, which of course I have already watched.
Sad to see a person with such a body of work, outstanding, against type, silly, and everything in between pass away, but then it comes for us all.
Godspeed.

It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

Re: Leonard Nimoy passed today...
Given the convoluted time-space continuum backandforthery of Star Trek, and the fact that he already died once and was resurrected, I think Leonard is ok. If Khan couldn't kill him for good, nobody can. Old Spock may have died, but there are other Spocks out there in the universe somewhere for sure.
