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 was in PA at a LARP and managed a High Ankle Sprain, and a fracture of my fibula on my *good* leg.
Surgery is Friday.
Need to figure out what to do with bike, as my riding season days are suddenly from the mid 80's to 0.

Anyway, just wanted to let people know I wasn't dead yet.

Congratulations on not dying. I never realized LARPing was such an intense, injury prone event. I remember doing it when I was a pre-teen but back then it wasn't called LARP, rather it was just kids roaming around drainage channels and smacking each other with swords made out of broom handles (or the really hardcore kids had proper kendo sticks).
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

D’oh!

Yeah, I’m a former Marklander and SCA member from many moons ago, so I’ve done my share of frat fighting. Shit, the LARP stuff is supposed to be more gentle!

Glad you’re not dead, anyway. Where in PA? When you say “LARP” do you really mean “Pennsic”? ;)

The eligibility criterion for Gimp Club is titanium-reinforced posthumanism. Or suitable substitute metallic bone-farkle, or whatever else makes for interesting x-rays. And anyone who wishes to argue that only riding-related-ruinations.
Come on. LARPing. Getting gimped while LARPing. That activity, in this place, has to be a special exception. Or inception. You know what I mean.

So, welcome to Gimp Club I guess! I'm so sorry.

Nice to know you ain't dead yet!
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.
