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.

I dunno...but I think if a major clothing brand starts using it in TV ads, it's no longer "hip". It's, at best, on the hip end of the mainstream, but no longer a sub-culture thing. Because it's no longer so much sub- as pop-.
Now, I wonder what will come next. Fedora hats and early 90s minivans?
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I wonder if they found a stunt-woman (casting call: Caucasian female 5'10" 119lbs must be able to ride vintage motorcycle please send picture of legs) or if they just shaved down a skinny stuntman and handed him the strappy heels.

How do you know?

Also, I truly enjoy girls doing squid things, like insufficient gear. Terrible idea, but nice to look at. The stig probably wouldn't sell as much lacoste though.

That is the very unavoidable Ruby Pavillon helm... errhh...fashion statement.
In its white St Honore finish, it's only slightly under $800

$800 to get your face wiped off. Nice. I've been to places that'd cost you more for the plane ticket to get there than the helmet, but at least the face removal would be free.

Why is it that she looks around warily, as if embarrassed to ride that motorcycle, yet can confidently wear those dreadful heels?

I think you've answered your own question. Perhaps someone, the director or maybe the girl herself, thought I hope no serious motorcyclist see this...

Those helmets are ugly, retro-70s, poorly ventilated crap.
