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.

First fix:
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!
- 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.

Kind of reminds me of the blimp landing accidents I've seen footage of. You gotta know when to just let go of the rope. He is so lucky to get put down as gently as he did, and soon enough that he was able to hang on for the whole ride.
It also makes an interesting dilemma for the camera man: Do I put down the camera and risk missing the most awesome stunt ever, or do I keep rolling and risk capturing my friends death on video?

Apparently the handle bar is just for steering the kite, and you're actually harnessed to the line. So letting go would not improve things. There is a quick release, but he was probably already too high by the time he figured out what was happening. The kite is basically a parachute anyway, which is exactly the kind of thing you want when falling from a great height.Rabbit_Fighter wrote:Kind of reminds me of the blimp landing accidents I've seen footage of.

I think I might try kiteboarding if you could guarantee that this would happen. That looked awesome.

Those kites have a control to depower the kite by changing it's shape, which is theoretically what he was supposed to do. I've got to say he did alright though. You hear about that sort of thing happening all the time, people definitely die that way. The line between a kite and a parachute gets pretty blurry at times. If you haven't tried flying a parafoil I highly recommend it, I have a little 4.5m trainer kite that will have you leaving parallel skid marks all over the beach. Super fun.
