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.

Not for your average soccer-moms

Post by MATPOC » Sat Jul 27, 2013 6:57 am

I have had several minivans over the past 13+ years, started with an Astro that was my race bike (and people) hauler which made countless (10 or so) trips to Florida and was retired (sold to a friend ) with 250,000 miles on the clock, it was replaced by 1st Gen Odyssey which was replaced by 2nd Gen Odyssey which just got scrapped with 240,000 miles on the clock, it was not the mechanical failure but rather "unstoppable force meets immovable object" that ended it's life prematurely, 80 mph in to a concrete barrier and I was able to limp it home.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of minivans, but all of them have limitations, my first Odyssey was the best handling minivan ever, had 4 doors that opened like a car, it was basically a giant wagon and with a set of 16's form an Acura it handled great but was extremely underpowered with a 4 cylinder 140 HP Accord engine. Also I could not load a full size bike in it, just scooters.

Sold it because I got a V-6 model, 3.5L 245 hp v-tech is no joke, can roast those tires for half a block, but with big ass V-6 upfront, higher center of gravity and now MacPherson suspension (1st Gen had double-wishbone) it handled like a pig. I had always been scheming how to boost the power, improve handling and ditch that horrible automatic transmission which I had repaired 4 times... but now it seems Honda has done it for me, they built an Odyssey to compete in Pikes Peak!!!

550 HP V-6 with a single Turbo, 6-speed from a TL, lowered, stiffened..... I WANT IT!! In the wet it was only 4 minutes slower than Loebs world record braking run in a purpose built rally car

I just have to convince them to sell it to me...

... I wonder how fast that would around the track, at the hands of a tame racing driver.
Some say he can calculate the g-forces in a cornering sportscar in his head, but the concept of kicking a ball into a goal is beyond him.
Some say, when other kids were in fact playing soccer, he was playing soccer mom, on the motorway, in a souped up minivan.
All we know is...
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.

They also ran the One Lap of America in that van. That's 9 tracks and 3400mi in 7 days. Pretty fucking impressive. I think over the last few years the same team has been running the previous version of the Odyssey at One Lap:
