PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE ANYTHING.
This measure is inconvenient, yes, but necessary at present.
Click below for more information.
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.
Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!
Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.
Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.
Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent
Umah Thurman Midget Circus
Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.
A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

i took five classes this last semester because i'm just stupid that way.
anyway the russian prof (for russian translation) gave me a link and told me to translate the website. i fiddled around on it, messing with different programs, but got it done. i even got the pulldown menus to work offline and everything was all "amazing" due to this drive i have to get all the details to work. then i zipped up the offline site and emailed it to him. turns out all he wanted was freaking pdfs of the pages uploaded to my portfolio. which i've now done, of course.
the shit i did that he will never see. makes me so glad i never have to deal with this professor again.
stick a fork in me, i'm done.
fuck it all.

Add it to your portfolio, and show it off with pride when opportunities arise. It won't be forgotten. Somewhere in the universe there is a book of sketches I created for a drafting class in college that I ace'd that represented the best freehand drawings I have ever done. I wish I still had it.
It's not wasted effort.

I'm trying to think of some way to get extra credit for extra work in that situation, but it's not coming, unless you can somehow convince that prof to write you some form of letter of recommendation that specifically mentions how you'd rather risk your health than just do the bare minimum. Or get some form of written thing from him that attests to what you did, so you can show that off as an official part of your vita.
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.

i ended up giving the portfolio link of all the pdf files to a former classmate who now works (in moscow) at the parent company (which is how my professor got the idea for the project). i didn't ask him to, but he is sending them to his boss.
if they use any of my translation work, damned if i won't ask for appropriate credit on the live website. it's supposedly a widely known company over there so it'd be worth it if i could get the positive exposure...
fuck it all.
