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.

"What happened? Did I pop the tire?"

Yeah, it was the truck's fault. It had nothing to do with the fact that you panicked and over-corrected. Blame the vehicle.

The locals love doing that around here. Leaving "S" shaped "patches" is the thing to do, but they usually do it on an incline.
I came 'round a corner at speed once and there's Joe Redneck laying a patch, taking up both lanes.

Serves the fucker right. I'd like to see that happen more often to these dickheads.

What's the difference between him having something go horribly wrong and one of us? I know a number of US do stupid shit that 99.99% of the time ends up just fine.

As far as I can tell, he was doing a smokey on a straight road in a rural area. Ain't no harm or foul in that.

It looks like he hit that patch of *whatever* it is on the ground, and had it throw him wonky. To me it just seems a problem that stemmed from using both feet to do a burn out: unless you're a "pro" at two footing it, once things get weird it's hard to correct coz your reactions aren't tuned to letting off with the right while pressing down appropriately on the left for the brake.

Bummer for him.
