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.

Temps in the single digits. Windy. What's so pretty about it? Go fuck yourself!

One should be grateful for little mercies. This winter, thus far, snow has been very rare and very thin over here.
Temperatures are in the single digits, too, but Celsius, so above freezing.
Many people complain about how miserable it is. Cold, bleak, gray skies. When the temperatures climb a little bit, it's clammy.
Personally, while I don't particularly enjoy such weather, especially these days with all the mess that is my bones and makes me notice it just that little bit more ... I infinitely prefer it to snow.
Even if other things than snow would keep me from riding ... I can't stand it, even on foot.
I can't stand the way it feels walking on it. I can't stand the sound it makes when it gets stepped on. I loathe the smell. And the visuals? The world, covered in dead, sterile blanket of all-consuming, all-obliterating whiteness? What the fuck is pretty about that?!?!
I strongly suspect a lot of people professing a love of snow just like the extra dose of sunlight that gets reflected upward.
But where I live, sunshine is a strange and terrifying event. So that excuse won't fly, either.

Even though a severe snowfall's impact on my daily routine would be limited, I'm quite grateful for not having to deal with that crap much this year.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I said I have a big stick.
