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.

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.

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.

Contemplating getting my KTM this weekend since it doesn't look like I'll be getting money for it.
Was ready for something else and the guy I bought it from (really good, close friend) said he'd like it back so I was "can you swing $XXXX monies". He said he thought he could, but that was sometime last year so I think I'll go get it back.

So our '03 Impala pulled a rocker stud out of the head on Friday and got a tow to the shop. My wagon (which I adore and is the easiest to work on car I've ever owned, but you WILL work on it) was already down for a CCV replacement that won't have a part in till tomorrow, then picked up the 640A Sunday to find the battery flat and unable to charge to more that 8volts in two days, then the "spare" car (van actually) started not idling and the codes do not lead to the actual problem, so it goes to the shop when they get done with the Impala. Got a new battery for the KTM and did the commute on it today, always about 25 minutes with light, but redneck asshole traffic. I still like the 640 but will never use it to near it's potential, and there is a lot of little stuff to tend too as apart from the battery being flat, the chain tension is dubious, I believe he changed the oil, but had funds to change all the black plastic for orange which is a bit much for me. Orange rear plastics maybe but i liked the black front with the silver better. Good commute though, but found that I need to send my 15 year old darien jacket in for net seam taping as it is all falling apart and getting crap on my work clothes. Not a bad investment for 15 years and multiple spills, a couple serious and no notable bodily harm on the top half. It just peeves me when you go out of your way to try and help someone buy something you have that they want and it comes back modified and partially damaged (cat destroyed the possibly now unavailable seat cover) with no apparent attempt to acquire funds to pay the (very low) price for it. But I had it usable to get me to work and the wife and kids still had the "good car" to get them to work/school so fortune smiles I guess.
Sony about the partial drama/rant, but this is the only avenue I have available anymore to let this kind of stuff go.

I'm calmed down now...
Lol!
Every vehicle is now fixed. The wagon is running better than it has for months so it's part was likely going bad for some time.
On the list for the KTM replace blinkers (two broken), figure out what the deal is with the super loose chain, and rebuild the tail light. Want to get it all to LED.
Also need to find a good source for head gasket and up seals for a1977 Honda CB550 that isn't my local Honda dealer that I have vowed to not to pay another dime.
