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.

Re: When Racing was dangerous and Sex was safe
Amazing. The footage of Sheene's crumpled form on the Daytona banking always makes me feel ill, but the passion of those guys is just infectious. Racing in those times, cars or bikes, was just balls of steel and damn scary, and to see 25 to 40-odd fellow racers killed during a career is just insane. However, the racing then feels more "pure", if you will. The lack of electronics, traction control, etc. made this such a visceral sport.
I'm glad it is safer, because I don't watch bike racing to see people die, but sometimes "progress" and technological advancements are not in the sports' best interests. I'm glad the TT is still about.

Re: When Racing was dangerous and Sex was safe
Indeed, those guys (and even the current guys) are an interesting breed. When Sheene was diagnosed with cancer I actually understood why he didn't seek treatment. He got it from smoking which is something he chose to do. I'm certainly not saying he was right, but he didn't want to go out struggling for life. I don't think he realized it would still be a slow process which would break him down to the point of being a shell of his former self. Again, I'm not advocating his position, just saying I got it when he made his decision to refuse treatment. I'm not sure what I would do given the same circumstances.Jonny wrote:Amazing.

I think in the first few minutes of the film there is a shot of Barry with a cigarette, he looks 16...
