First fix:
  • open the menu at the top

  • go back to the Forum Index

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.

Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

One of my good friends is going to be on dateline this Friday...



Friday, Oct. 16: Secrets of 'The Lost Symbol'
Posted: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 2:27 PM by Elizabeth Chuck

One of the world's most popular authors, Dan Brown, sits down for a rare and exclusive interview with NBC News' Matt Lauer to talk about his new book, "The Lost Symbol," the beliefs of the Freemasons, the power of the human mind, whether people can become gods and a little known science that may tie them all together. For the hour-long report, "Secrets of the Lost Symbol," set to air on Friday, Oct. 16 (9:00 p.m. ET), Lauer travels to Washington, D.C. to interview Brown and explore the backdrop and secrets of this new bestseller.

"Secrets of the Lost Symbol" will take viewers behind the scenes of the secretive brotherhood of the Freemasons in attempt to make sense of what is fact and what is fiction for all Brown's fans, and find out from the Freemasons themselves what he got right, and what he got wrong. The broadcast also goes in search of what Brown calls the true meaning of his book and why, he says, its so unlike his others. Additionally, he speaks with Lauer at length about the beliefs of the nation's founding fathers, saying "America wasn't founded a Christian country. It became a Christian country."

You're friends with Dan Brown? Doesn't admitting that publicly get you excommunicated or something?

Dan Brown is an idiot. An idiot. An idiot. An idiot. An idiot. An idiot. An idiot. An idiot. That's not to say that he isn't a fairly intelligent and savvy entertainer. But overall, he's an idiot, an idiot. Either that or he has absolutely no care about reality.

It's not even the conspiracy stuff that pisses me off. It's the fact that he seems to dismiss E=MC² as some trivial nonsense of no interest.

I read DaVinci and Angels & Demons and it was the bad writing and one-sided characters that got to me. Never again.

I know a few Freemasons and even been pushed to join in the past. I don't know much about it except for the architect of the universe stuff.

I am not friends with Dan Brown. I am friends with the masons who address this part of the broadcast:
"Secrets of the Lost Symbol" will take viewers behind the scenes of the secretive brotherhood of the Freemasons in attempt to make sense of what is fact and what is fiction for all Brown's fans, and find out from the Freemasons themselves what he got right, and what he got wrong."

The Da Vinci Code was fiction... he obviously is not a mason based on his understanding of secret societies, occult, etc.

If you are looking for some decent masonic books, I would recommend something other than Dan Brown.
