Update, 2020/12/01
Please see announcement in Forum Stuff for details.
SECURITY ADVISORY!
Today, 2020/11/18, suspicions have been expressed that there has been a data breach.
At least some DisMembers' login data may have been compromised.
While the facts behind those suspicions have not yet been established, your Administerrerr is treating them as credible. He is looking into this. He will try and beef up security.
Even if you did so only recently:
Please change your password!
Please click here, or use the menu ( button) to navigate to the the User Control Panel, therein to the Profile Tab, and there click Edit Account Settings. You should get it from there on.
For a safe password that will resist brute-force attempts (which we have been subject to in the past), please use upper and lower case letters, AND numerals, AND symbols, and make it as long as you feel feasible. 16 characters seems to be recommended these days.
DO NOT use a password you also use elsewhere.
While your Administerrerr tries to keep this place safe. Get real. Security here is mostly by obscurity, that is, no one serious enough to crack us like a rotten egg is likely to even bother. But if one does, you don't want the safety of your email of facebook or whatever to depend on one mostly blind, mostly clueless autodidact who can't work at this more than a few hours at a time, if that much.
If you used a password here that you also used elsewhere, you must set a new password there, also!
A different password, this time. If someone did breach us, the first thing they are likely to do with your login credentials is to try them out elsewhere. Login credentials compromised here are compromised everywhere else, also. If you did reuse a password, but with a different email, your administerrerrerr strongly urges you NOT rely on that different email keeping you safe. This whole thing runs on a database. That means your half-blind administerrerrerr can operate a database. Do you honestly think identity thieves, and those who sell them passwords by the ten-thousands, won't?

Every form you can debauch is on a time limit. Even if you feel you've been reasonably quick, some browsers seem to think otherwise.
Recommendation: type your password in something like a text editor or word processor, highlight (making sure not to highlight any leading or trailing spaces), copy, then reload the account settings page, paste, paste, debauch, and be all quick about it. Like Dan said, back in the when. Be like the housefly, and see the events of the world unfold in liquid slowness, or something to that effect.

The "I forgot my password" function has been buggy for a while, I apologize. I will look into that, also, over the next few days.
UPDATE: I have looked into this. I think it should work now, but I can't test it all with my admin accounts. Anyone who tries it, please do let me know whether it works or not.
You yourself, meanwhile, might look into your SPAM folder. I know, I know, but humor me, please.
Also, if you have been around for a bit, try and remember whether the email you entered there was also the email you registered with back in the when. I'm sure the email addresses associated to some user-accounts are still hotmail.
If none of that solves your confound, hit me through the contact form, or grab me via dm on the Facebooks, or if none of that works, speak up in the Midget Circus. I will look out for you there, but I can't guarantee nothing.

Re: The Expanse
So season 5 is out today, it appears.
Curiously, Amazon Prime is letting me see it. It is unusual for them to be more competent than Netflix (I only get new Disco episodes one day after you lot, even though I'm in a time zone in the future!).

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

Re: The Expanse
Late to this party bu am just starting season 5. I watched season 1 ages ago and didn't really dig it, but game it another try and got hooked. The fact that space actually acts like space (within reason) is fantastic.

Re: The Expanse
Season 5 is really really good. I'm on episode 7.
I read an interview that stated the pilot originally had no sound in space but it didn't get good reviews, so space sounds it is.

Re: The Expanse
Hm. Curious. I hadn't noticed. I had had the impression that the sounds we, the audience, hear are the sounds persons aboard a ship would hear. Or a person inside a suit, with the breathing and all. The point-of-hear just never is in the vacuum proper.
As for the season 5 finale.
Spoiler
Show
The season finale greatly disappointed me.
It's not bad. On it's own, it's good. It's just not as good as the rest of season 5.
For one, everyone meeting at the UN, everyone being happy until they are hit around the head with one of several season 6 cliffhangers. That felt wrong. And one of my favorite characters got dead. Suddenly and unexpectedly, which is realistic. Just in the narrative, it wasn't really handled.
Of course, there is good reason for the weird scene with everyone meeting at the UN, and why Alec's death felt so crammed in retroactively.
Because it was. Filming for the season had wrapped when allegations of sexual harassment, from multiple women, were leveled against the actor. The producers decided against shooting as much as an extra second with the guy, so his "death scene" was assembled from previously shot material. I suppose the protagonists' final scene was similarly improvised.
The season's final scene, meanwhile. It's just one more cliffhanger, of which this episode seemed to have more than it's share. Would have preferred to see those scattered over several episodes.
Since season 6 had already been ordered before filming began on season 5, afaik, I see no reason why they couldn't have done that.
