...I'm from Texas. I live in the 4th largest city in the US and this happens right down the street from my house (actually between where I live and downtown).

The flooding is no joke, but I can't help but laugh about just how "Texas" it is to see a small herd of cattle on the highway.

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.

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.

Lived there during Trop Storm Allison, and I had kind of hoped that for all of the people who died then (2001) more people would know how to avoid this kind of thing.

There's been a ton of rain and flooding to the NW of us. What we're getting on my side of town is due to the run-off of the flooding over the last couple of weeks. It doesn't help that it's still raining down here, but the Brazos River overflowing its banks is what's causing all the problems near me.
There, I said it.

Good luck to you, we're getting some of the effects of Tropical Storm Colin but everything here drains pretty well, almost as though Florida anticipates getting a lot of rain from time to time and designed their infrastructure accordingly.

this is a really shitty picture, but this was taken from the plane as I flew back into Houston from Midland last Friday...

My wife has been working 12 hour days, 7 days a week handling claims for the homeowners her company insures since the first week of April when she was chosen to work as part of a special group that is ONLY handling those claims and the subsequent ones that have arisen.
