IT ENDED YESTERDAY!
SO STOP PRETENDING TO READ THIS!
You are, in fact, dead, have been since yesterday!
Don't give me that "I didn't notice not end of the world yesterday" or anything!!
The Mayas predicted it, their long-count-calendar ended yesterday!! If the world hadn't ended, we'd have the 14th b'ak'tun, but they only ever talked about 13 of these!! So the end of the 13th must have meant the end of the world, cannot have meant anything else! This isn't some sort of pre-columbian millenium bug, these people were ancient and noble and knew everything we didn't, they couldn't have made some silly mistake like a mere computer programmer!!
Millions of people believed this, it must be true!
Okay, for anyone who didn't notice, December 21 2012 marked the end of the 13th of the big cycles (b'ak'tun) of the Mayan long-count calendar. Since it fell on the auspicious date of 12/21/2012 or however you 'mericans write that down, a lot of people were ever so sure the world must end. They even made a film a few years back.
If you consider how the Mayan's counted time, the number of days since creation of mankind, and had they indeed limited their calendar to 13 b'ak'tun (which I cannot establish as such, 13 was the number of b'ak'tun that came before the current one started, apparently, but that the current one would only have b'ak'tun, can't find a proper citation), it would actually be pretty similar not to the millenium bug but to the Unix 2038 problem (Unix tells time by counting the seconds since midnight, January 1st 1970, and this will roll over to 0 in 2038, which might cause some actual problems). But the long count calendar actually has even bigger cycles than the b'ak'tun, the longest one is 65 thousand years long, so as primitive as their culture was, they were a little bit smarter than computer programmers of the time when our civilization made it as far as the moon.

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.

Nope, we are all dead, stop posting stuff like this.
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

This board has been a bit dead lately. Maybe it's just zombies who post.
