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.

The only reason I've been out to the garage is to use the snowblower. Which has been often.
It got up to 17 here today and almost felt warm.

This would probably be a bad time to mention we're having record highs in Seattle, right? Damn near 70 in spots around the area for the last few days. I don't know what to think.

In OlyWa it's only getting up into the low 60s. Nowhere near Seattle.
Seriously, being in the NE doesn't look like a ton fun at the moment. May your pipes stay thawed and your beer supply sufficient.

Re: Unthinkably Terribly Miserably Cold
Update: only about 4" here overnight so we're not too buried, but there's more on the way later this week, and the forecast says Thursday will see lows in the negatives before windchill.
Fuck this noise. This is getting into MN/WI weather. I didn't sign up for this shit! This is the Chesapeake Region, we get cold but not THAT cold.
Still no word from Sisyphus, I see. I hear the folks up in Maine got pounded -- hurricane-like snow conditions.

Shit we got into the 20's last night, but we have had such warm weather lately we left our plants outside. Fuck fuck fuck, I have had those plumeria too damn long to lose them now...

Re: Unthinkably Terribly Miserably Cold
I call it "Global Weirding".
28* with freezing sleet the last two days. In Texas. Got up this morning in the middle of a full round of hot/cold, chills/fever. Went in at 5:30 a.m., coughed up a bunch of gunk and looked miserable, and got sent to bed. I could have likely toughed it out, but could not see how spending a couple of hours out in that would improve my condition or make me a safer driver.
My partner came stumbling into our room a half an hour later. Seems she barfed all over the briefing room. Oops.
"Really, sir, we ARE sick!"
