I distinctly recall my last few days of college. I had a few days left of finals week, one semester to go in the spring, and voila! Sheepskin and some life I couldn't possibly even imagine (or feign interest in) after that. And a funny thing happened. The motivation, it failed me. A friend actually drove down to hold my hands onto the keyboard, walk me tgrough writing a few papers, but I couldn't fucking care less.
So I decided to start finishing up that degree this summer, along with a few other lifetime aspirations, and fuck man, this summer has just gotten so busy, and the weather has sucked, and blah blah blah.
So hear I am, Tuesday of finals week. I remember my enthusiasm 2 months ago, I couldn't wait for my book to come, I was engaging in witty banter with the teacher, etc.
And here I sit. I could give a shit. I need to right 2 500 word papers and take a quiz, and I'll be back in school with a raging A to boot. But I'd rather bitch on here and try and catch up with you all.
Finals week. Reminding me why I fail at certain things since 1999.

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.

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.

I hate it when that happens, the loss of motivation. But good news: you said

Re: DOOM'd to repeat...
you'll feel better once you're done with it, the feeling is not a feeling of not giving a shit, it's a feeling of I don't really want to let this issue get all important and I know how important it is for me and I don't want to let it have so much importance in my life because I want to be cool and detached from important things because it's how I was brought up. so just deal with it, and kill it. it's cool too to achieve some shit once in a while too, you'll still be cool, even if you don't nail it to perfection.

Re: DOOM'd to repeat...
