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.

Regarding tattoos

Post by Sisyphus » Sun Jul 24, 2016 5:37 am

About fifteen years ago I got a tattoo, like sailors do. Swallow, upper right breast to kind of balance out some other stuff. These are usually done in pairs.
Swung by a shop yesterday and spoke to them about getting the other one done. The one I have is just flash art really. They said they could just take a picture of it and copy it on the other side. The guy I spoke to also mentioned that it'd be difficult to get the colors to match since the original is somewhat faded, like tattoos get after years. Totally reasonable, but then he said for an extra fifty bucks they'd touch up the color on that one at the same time. Not sure if that's legit. I said thanks and left, said I'd think about it.

I looked up their website and there aren't any examples of their work anywhere that I could see.

Website is here:
http://www.boundforglorytattoo.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Then I thought, well hell I could get to Bawlmore and have Priest do it, since I have a job pending there anyway but that seems like a PITA when these guys are right up the street and they made it seem simple enough.

Thoughts, opinions?

Go to Bawlmer, say hi to Priest for us. And yes get the old tat brightened up. My daughter has mirror-image tattoos on her shoulders but got them a few years apart, and once the new one healed the difference in their darkness was striking, so she went back to touch up the first.
Good luck.

Priest does some great work. The touch up suggestion/pricing seem legit.

If you can go see Brothah Scott, do. I actually owe him a visit soon. I'm overdue. Let me know when you'd be going and I'll try to get free. I'll buy you one of the beers I owe you. ;)

That said, $50 for a touchup like that does seem pretty reasonable. Generous, even. I glanced over their website, looks like they do good work. *shrug*

Either way, you're reminding me that I have an itch that needs scratched. :mrgreen:

Cool. Yeah it looks like I'm too busy to get away and he's in Frederick anyway, so not exactly B'more. It's fucking hot here and I cannot brain.
One of my crew just gave notice, so it's going to get more intense here than I anticipated.
