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.

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.

I'm in withdrawal. I can actually taste that Buffalo Trace white whiskey, and the nearest bottle I can find is about 20 miles away, which feels pretty fucking wrong to go 40 miles out of my way for booze, but DAMN that stuff was good! I guess I'm going for a drive tomorrow. :mrgreen:

I'm thinking some kind of romcom. Lonely dad dealing with the girls, being all sexy and lovable for the female audience, while driving around with his pickup, trying to find some good booze while fulfilling his family obligations, thus appealing to the married man audience.
Basically, the kind of Hollywood fare couples can enjoy when the kids are at grandmas, no?
The kind of romantic comedy that brings about the creation of the nth kid, the one that wasn't planned.

... you'd need the wacky buddy the protagonist can call for help when something gets out of control or whatnot, for the witty banter. And some threatening yet no-really-menacing antagonist dad can punch in the face to protect his girls.

Making the mission to find that perfect bottle of non-romantic booze into something that wouldn't arouse suspicions is the tricky bit, while also maintaining some kind of drama with the kids.
Rench, your actual story is entirely unsuitable, you're way to tight with your girls, no tension or conflict to overcome. You need tension and conflict for a movie.
I actually have an idea here ...
Protagonist's wive goes to relive her college glory days, wacky dude reminds protagonist of the wild parties they used to have and how protagonist swore to find a bottle of that stuff, and it all rolls from there.

I reserve all copyrights to this idea, so once you make that movie, Hollywood, my buddies Rench and Thack and me get our paychecks. :mrgreen:

Eh I regularly load my saddle bags with the Bowman Brothers VA ABC special reserve. I know your pain. But I'll be damned if I'm making a 22 hour round trip for just one bottle.

I guess this is the part which doesn't make sense to me. Is 20 miles far? Seriously, living in Houston for as long as I did, I would wish for only a 20 mile commute, or finding a Hooter's within 20 miles of the house, or a good hardware store. Hell the KTM dealership where I bought the Duke was 38 miles from the house. Motherfucker I would go 20 miles for a bottle of beer, grow a pair and go getcha some good booze. Time to teach those girls what the inside of a windshield looks like, prepare them for the drudgery of real adult life.

20 Texas miles is a whole other game. This was 20 miles across 5 suburbs in rush hour traffic. We got pretty lucky with the holiday. That same stretch could take an hour+ at the wrong time.

Exactly, I wasn't talking about driving through the country, I'm talking about Hwy290 madness.

The first time I lived in Houston I worked with a guy from Boston, he came in to work crying one morning and said "Back home in Mass, if I had to drive as far as I do every day here in Houston just to get to work, I would be crossing at least two state lines." Wuss...

There's a reason we measure travel in time instead of distance. From my house 3 hours West is almost to San Antonio. At the wrong time of day, 3 hours East is barely to Beaumont. Depending on the time of day my 30 mile commute can be 35 minutes or 95 minutes.

Exactly! I hated my 45-minute commute in Philadelphia, but if I worked past 8pm, I could wick it up and be home in 12 glorious, adrenal minutes.
