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.

Nevermind the fact that I think that this video is an awesome satire... (I'm about 99% sure that this is fake) it brings up an aspect of modern "advancements" that really pisses me off.
I take exception with the use of the modifier "-proof" being added to all sorts of things that it does not belong on. There is no way that there will EVER be a crash-PROOF... anything. Not possible. I've see someone 'crash' a stationary park bench, they lost 3 teeth.
The only way to be reasonable sure that you won't get into a motorcycle accident is to stay at home and build a fort out of couch cushions.
And even then, it is still possible that someone could crash their vehicle into your house and hit you with their motorcycle/car/boxtruck/tractor/schoolbus/commercial jet/ultralight/dirigible.
There is no pure safe way to live life, there are safer ways (don't share needles with junkies you know have AIDS) and less safe ways (break into the polar bear cages at the zoo)... but there is no 100% guarantee that something somewhere won't just so happen to fuck you up or even end you, even if you have made all of the "right" choices.
I think that the more that people disconnect from the actual driving/riding experience the less aware of the actual joys there are to be had in that experience. And the more dangerous our roads become for everyone.
If my motorcycle told me every time that I needed to be paying attention, it would spend the ENTIRE TIME warning me... do you know why? Because you should ALWAYS be paying attention, not just when the computerized doodad has decided it is time to and the 'drive by wire' system has decided that it needs to decelerate at an inopportune time, and my lexus has parallel parked itself.
Part of my escape on 2 is due to the fact that when I am riding, my brain has to spend a significant amount of time keeping me alive, this gives it a purpose aside from telling engineers how to do their damn job in my everyday grind. Self preservation is a wonderful exercise to put your brain through... bathe it in those beautiful neurochemicals and live to ride again, take those away and you're missing an important aspect of the whole deal.
If you don't want to drive, there is nothing wrong with that, there are buses and taxis, take those. If you need to do your nails or read a book or play your video games, the light-rail is the correct choice for you. I like to drive... I like to be in control... It really upsets me when a machine takes away too many of the things that make riding/driving a fun experience for me. My caddy doesn't even HAVE a stereo... music is not necessary... it too distracts from the drive.
Back to the video... how in the fuck is a part on a motorcycle supposed to determine if someone sees you??? I have made eye contact with someone and watched them watch me watch them slowly back into my parked car in a parking lot. The most complex computer on the planet is the human brain... and I simply don't trust it. What chance does a device made by engineers have. It absolutely cannot compensate for pure stupidity.
