PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE ANYTHING.
This measure is inconvenient, yes, but necessary at present.
Click below for more information.
EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
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!
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.
Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!
Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.
Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.
Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent
Umah Thurman Midget Circus
Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.
A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

So I am out riding my bicycle with my dog in tow (she walks faster than I can run) when I came upon my neighbor's Xmas curbside dumpings.
I happened to catch the wife of the homeowner [edit]ok that is very sexist, women can be homeowners as well[/edit] in the yard and asked her if they were tossing it out. She said she got him a new riding mower and this one had to go. Why a house with less than a 1/4 acre needs a riding mower, hell why said homeowner needed a Troy-bilt mower in the first place are both questions beyond my ken, but whatevs. She didn't mind if I snared it so I came back around with my Jeep and took it home. I had debated doing the old "kid mowing lawns door to door" trick and hooking it to my seatpost, but I love my Kona and didn't want to bugger it up just to get the mower home quicker. Drum roll please: The best part, the oil looked good and with just a little gas it fired up and ran with just a couple pulls on the cord. Seriously, why do people throw these things away, I could sell it now for at least $75 without doing a thing to it.
She also had one of those monster rear-projection TVs on the curb but I don't want to deal with that. I am slowly converting to all plasma (very slowly).
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

I too am converting all of my televisions to plasma. I got rid of my last normal TV in 2004 in anticipation of my fancy new set.

jangleplatz! Oh wait, I thought you meant converting them to plasma by burning them at extremely high temperatures. Carry on then.
