EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
Show
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!

2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
Click if you have a problem.

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.

REGISTRATION! NEW USERS!

Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.

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.

Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.

Here's your jetpack. So shut up, it's the future already!

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.

No hoses, no wires, it goes over 90mph and goes up to nearly 10k feet. And it works on bloody water!

Oh, oh, but it's not a backpack, you don't strap it on your back, yadda, yadda, yadda.
No, it's not. But only because it's an actual, honest to dog jet-powered-flying-skateboard. It doesn't just do what the hoverboards from BTTF2 did - it works on water! Almost two miles up in the air! And it's so damn fast, all you need is a damn flux capacitor and some plutonium, and BAM! Burning streak in the sky, and you're going to hook up with your own mother and shit! 88 miles per hour, pah!
And you don't have to mess around, strapping some monstrous contraption to your back like some pleb. You stand on it, dignified and shit! You could use this with a top-hat and coat-tails, perhaps a martini in one hand! So that's better!


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 didn't click the link, but what's it run on and what's the range?

From what I gather, it runs on jet-fuel and he has set a official, Guinness-Book distance-record of just about 1.4 miles.

I can see the future, and it contains my death.... Via an air-board and stupidity....
"There is a time and a place for ruthlessness. You and I and many others on this board were trained by the government to kill, maim and terrorize people and destroy their property. However, we must always keep in mind that the only appropriate time to do so is when it will benefit multi-national corporations."--Yogi Kuddha
