EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
Show
First fix:
  • 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.


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!

2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
Click if you have a problem.

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.

I have been reading that quote "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways shouting 'Holy Shit, what a ride!'" I agree with having a ride, and a helluva good one. But, take it from a 61 year-old, don't wear ir out too fast, or you won't be able to have any ride at all when you get a bit older.
I have lived an event-filled and stressful life. When I turned 55, I started falling apart. I had to have my asshole rebuilt (pictures at 10), two hernias fixed, a bleeding ulcer, high blood pressure, migraines, and arthritic knees. In addition, and as partial explanation, I was diagnosed with ADD at age 59. That explained a lot about my life. I think MOST motorcycle people have ADD. We seem to have a need for the stimulation that risky activities can provide. Life as an ADD is intense, to say the least.
I have learned to manage stress a bit better, the meds help (ask Bandit12), and I am taking better care of my body. I don't plan on quitting riding anytime soon.
Enjoy the ride, go like moderate :lol: Hell, live long and prosper.
Bill

There's a saying in politics, "If you're explaining, you're losing." I'll lose a moment here, then, and explain myself a bit.

I'm merely commenting on the inevatibility of death. I don't advocate irresponsibility, and those who've ridden with me know I'm a particularly deliberate rider. I've no excess of testosterone or a need to knee-drag to prove a point. I just think it's unfortunate that people squander life by not occassionally daring to do something un-deliberate. "Dare I eat a peach?" has always haunted me as a metaphore for living but not being alive.

I'm in my mid thirties and realize that I've begun to miss a step or two here or there (hell, I broke my leg in May playing soccer with my daughter). I may get older, but I refuse to use that as an excuse to miss opportunities.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ames.

DOF there is a rider here near me that is in his mid 50's and that is his saying as well. He lives it responsibly. And honestly with all the hardware and scaring within my body I hope to hell to be able to keep up with him when I am his age now.
