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.

Went in this am, transferred the keys to the kingdom, said my goodbyes, did the exit interview...adios motha's.

Now, onto spending a few days in the mountains...get some riding in. I don't have to rush to be back to a job on Monday morning.

Life is fucking awesome...

Enjoy it while you can, but don't waste too much time before you get hard and heavy into the job hunt.

I need a bit of get out of town time, finish a project, then I'm good to go. I'll dedicate time to a job search...setup the laptop out in the garage. Take a break now and then...send some resumes out, wrench on the bike. Balance my days out so I'm not going bonkers...

Fuck.


This has been happening as much as laying bikes down. Too often.

Enjoy your time off, and here's to finding a better place of employ in the not-too-distant.

Rock on, dood... onto bigger and better things! Finish that VFR, and then lets go for an old fart ride.

Hey if the CasaDeGOSTAZ version 2 works out, and you get bored, there will be plenty to do... Just sayin'....and I will be happy to feed and pay you. If the CasaDeGOSTAZ version 2 does not work out? Dood, you can come be my official Cunt Puncher in the current house. There are two such in the house and much punching to be done. The gf will cook you a tasty dinner whence you are finished, as long as you agree to help us burn the bodies, or fling them into the Potowmac. Bring gloves. And Lysol. Practice your maniacal laugh..

(note to readers... no misogyny here, the cunts I refer are not of the human variety. I think they came here from a leak in the sewer system of Mars..... These bitches MAD crazy!)

So, my dear friend, take a week, unwind, see the world, howl at the moon, fuck with yer rigs, and then get out there and find you a new gig. Let me know what you are looking for.... Talk to Jagger as well. I really do not want you go back to stripping and waiting tables.... that period of your employ put a strain on our friendship, which is old and precious to me... :D

Today is my first official day of being unemployed. Seems totally different than a vacation or long weekend.

The fuckers couldn't even give me my notice in person. They EMAILED me my layoff notice at 4:43pm yesterday. Pack up your stuff, turn in your ID card and shit, and don't bother showing up tomorrow.

On the flip side, beyond home made hello kitty cupcakes, my coworkers took me out for lunch yesterday, gave me a $100 gift certificate to a local bike shop (yay!) and are throwing a small gathering for me at our local pub on Thursday. I'm sure going to miss them all.

Had my first meeting w/ the union this morning. They are filing a grievance on behalf of me and my coworker.

I'd go for a ride today to celebrate, but I'm kinda hungover from all the drinks FBR and my friend bought me last nite. :lol:

I'm a little jealous. I got laid off 2 weeks ago, and had another job lined up in 4 hours. Just got home from 2 days of working in 110 degree heat. Damn, sometimes I envy the unemployed.

It's good to hear you got them to come around.
