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.

Why not some Disney princesses too?

Re: Exploding actresses
Those are frightfully well done. You don't even see any blurs, pixelations, lighting flaws or other discontinuities. Especially in the first two. I'm sure a bit of it was the clever use of editing, putting mask or whatever on a few frames where the head wasn't in shot anyway, but even that could have left traces - but didn't leave any I could spot. Damn, this is a bit scary. That scene from When Harry met Sally, the one from Pretty Woman, and especially that shot where the dude in the tux meets the lady in the ball-gown. Even the people moving in the background, where her head would have been, looked entirely flawless.
Damn. I've seen Stalin-era photos, which professional craftsmen spent hours and hours, or more likely days and weeks on, to remove Trotski, entirely analog, that didn't look half as convincing as this stuff. Yes, no blood, and the stumps didn't look particularly biological, either, but that's beside the point. I was aware that such fakery is possible these days. Even to such a degree of perfection. But that it's apparently so simple and affordable that someone can do it for some inconsequential youtube videos ... unless it's some sort of showreel. But they rarely make a whole series out of those, do they? Unless whoever made these wants to demonstrate how quick they can work.
The website doesn't look like it, I don't see any advertisement of digital-sfx services.
Perhaps it's not quite as convincing if you view it frame by frame in high res, I think there might be a tiny blur and not entirely correct movement of a head in the background in one shot from pretty woman, he's got some large animated gifs on his website. But I'm not certain, I may well just be imagining it there.

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

Re: Exploding actresses
It's just photoshop, when you clic on the "eraser tool", what's behind the thing you just erased logically appears, I get asked to do that all the time. (sarcasm)
