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!

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.

Yeah, well I'm pissed off. Even as a stranger I'm feeling doomed. My wife was almost crying when she heard Kerry giving in on TV. She's the more intellectual and political thinker in our partnership.
That probably means no intercourse for me tonight :o

Thanx very much for fucking it up once again, guys :x

In the Oval Office in December 2002, the president met with a few ranking senators and members of the House, both Republicans and Democrats. In those days, there were high hopes that the United States-sponsored ‘’road map'’ for the Israelis and Palestinians would be a pathway to peace, and the discussion that wintry day was, in part, about countries providing peacekeeping forces in the region. The problem, everyone agreed, was that a number of European countries, like France and Germany, had armies that were not trusted by either the Israelis or Palestinians. One congressman – the Hungarian-born Tom Lantos, a Democrat from California and the only Holocaust survivor in Congress – mentioned that the Scandinavian countries were viewed more positively. Lantos went on to describe for the president how the Swedish Army might be an ideal candidate to anchor a small peacekeeping force on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Sweden has a well-trained force of about 25,000. The president looked at him appraisingly, several people in the room recall.

‘’I don’t know why you’re talking about Sweden,'’ Bush said. ‘’They’re the neutral one. They don’t have an army.'’

Lantos paused, a little shocked, and offered a gentlemanly reply: ‘’Mr. President, you may have thought that I said Switzerland. They’re the ones that are historically neutral, without an army.'’ Then Lantos mentioned, in a gracious aside, that the Swiss do have a tough national guard to protect the country in the event of invasion.

Bush held to his view. ‘’No, no, it’s Sweden that has no army.'’
The room went silent, until someone changed the subject.

A few weeks later, members of Congress and their spouses gathered with administration officials and other dignitaries for the White House Christmas party. The president saw Lantos and grabbed him by the shoulder. ‘’You were right,'’ he said, with bonhomie. ‘’Sweden does have an army.'’
I'm not really from around here.

While outrage and despair are prevalent and expected, let's not forget one important point. While the world is stuck with the W team for 48 more months, they are also stuck with US!!!!!! Remember Nixon's second term? We drug him naked and burning through the town square, and he ENDED a pointless war he didn't start! Just think of what we'll do to THESE clowns! There's an old saying that it's far easier to take a castle than to keep it over the long term.
The military is tired of dying for them.
The people will tire of paying for them.
The world is tired of dealing with them.
The W team's list of friends, allies and bedfellows will soon grow small.
As support dwindles and the world pressure continues to rise, the tide will change. Hopefully the current will be strong and swift enough to wash away the embedded, entrenched layers of corruption AND complacency that has allowed this infection to absess for so many decades. For it's not just W's swaggering that will soon be called in to the light, but the dug in parasites that call for the continued refrain of gpvernment for the sake of government.
The coming 4 years will make the 60's look like the 50's. Know this. It will get worse before it gets better. But when the boil bursts, the light of public scrutiny will once again redirect the course of freedom. And perhaps some good will come from the pain.
