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.

You know what they say about guys who drive around in huge, flamboyant, over-powered and over-masculine cars?
Consider the flipside. What a sensible, innocuous three door hatchback, but not a super-cheap one, rather the kind where you pay for modern technology, what that sort of car says about the guy.
He, evidently, doesn't even feel the need to compensate for his compact statue with a larger vehicle. And look at the guy. He looks exactly like the sort of guy who is not a stranger to putting the hurt on a guy.
Being intimidated by that is the smart reaction.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

You know, picking a fight with a guy in full gear is almost always a bad idea.

Indeed, I think that the second I saw that door come open I'd ether leave and throttle out of there or I'd be off my bike. No way would I be flat footing my bike as someone walked up to me like that. I'm not badass by any stretch, but I'd be damned if I would compromise my own safety straddling a bike.

Of course, the whole thing could have been avoided by letting mr. Fast and Furious 5 just go on his merry way from the light. Not sure i'm buying the rider's statement that he wasn't racing. Surely, he was antagonizing the driver to some degree that, while minor, wasn't necessary.

As Bo said, not a good idea to fight with a guy wearing armor. But if you're that guy, make up your mind that you want to fight and get the hell off your bike.

Well, like any other similar situation, most (normal) people would be caught off guard. Like, just doing your thing in your helmet one minute and next thing you know there's some asshole who thinks you've offended him somehow. Nobody expects that.
But like after you walk away from any confrontation thinking, "Dammit, I shoulda..." I was like, "I would have just waited until he had both feet on the ground and just peeled away to the right," but what if there was traffic?
You shouldn't fuck with people. You really have no idea who/what they are.

The rider has a witness, and a video of the guy driving recklessly, getting out and hitting him, complete with clear face shot and a legible license plate. That car driver is an idiot and his own worst enemy, and deserves to go to jail for sheer stupidity if nothing else. Who can't recognize a camera these days?

+2 on punishment deserving stupidity.

Read something somewhere else that right lane was right turn only and the VW was trying to jump ahead. Can't quite make out if that was the case but still a dick move. My armchair quarterback reaction would be to let the clutch out and give the guy a nudge while going around the guy.

The dude was on a Ducati (sounded like it) his friend was on a Ducati, what are the chances that two dudes riding matching Ducs are gonna put up a fight?

Then, there's always some shit like this:

Reason #1 why you just deal with stupid drivers. We all know they are out there and they will eventually do something completely stupid. Confrontation can be very dangerous.
