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.

Apparently this guy is terrible at rally racing but phenomenal at whatever this is. I thought at least one person on here would appreciate this.

He tests all of his jumps out on motorcycles first, too, before he hits them in the car.

I don't think I could do any of this in a video game with all of the cheat codes. Mind blowing.

Calling that thing a Ford Fiesta is just stupid.
Apart from some bits of the body, lights and dash, the parts commonality seems to be about equal to the parts commonality between a Stratocaster and a Stradivarius. Yeah, the shape is similar, and both are made from wood, with strings on.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I said I have a big stick.

He is not terrible, in fact he's pretty good for a shoe salesman! If you cared to know you would check the facts before you repeat something you heard somewhere.

And it is Fiesta!

All I know is that he gets paid lots and lots of money to travel around the world and drive really fast cars, really fast.

I would gladly suck that bad at anything!

I don't know... finishing only one of your last 6 races doesn't sound AMAZING to me. but I'm not a rally fanboy, maybe that is a stellar ratio.

I don't really give a shit if he is the best ever or a total dud. This video is badass. I would gladly trade him jobs. His life sounds fucking rad.

Also MATPOC I got this for you;

Yeah Mag, you clever boy, Vagisil reply is such a clever thing, I don't think I can ever top that! Oh wait, let me google some images and post them in the thread in which I just made some dumb statements, posting images will add some credibility!

Have you ever tried to compete against the best of the best?? (You ever tried to compete in anything other than pissing contests?) You can say you suck at anything if you don't get in top 10 in the world! I don't need Wikipedia since I happen to know a thing or two about this guy, but you follow your own link you would know that Ken had earned rookie of the year and runner up in several US championships, that would hardly qualify as "SUCKS". Apparently he's taking his time getting used to WRC but last weeks finish in Spain shows some promise, so before you pass your expert opinion on something you hardly have a clue about, follow your own link, read up and it might make you a better man or at least prevent another episode of foot in mouth disease!

I don't think you even bothered to read the fucking wiki page, he started 6 WRC events of which he finished 4, not bad for a first timer. Not so great for you, passing your opinions as facts and then posting the link that proves you wrong, Foot on Mouth!

you two get a room.

Ken Block is 23rd out of 25 driver at the WRC 2010 championship.
Let's say his 2010 campaign wasn't that good even if the general level is slightly higher than the average drivers abilities.
I'm not really from around here.

He only competed in 6 out of 12 events this year

I'm not a "fan boy" just trying to show my point of view, if he's in the same place next year after a full season I will be the first one to say that he should stick with selling shoes and making gymkhana videos.

Well... Since I don't know the contextual implications of using the word 'apparently' to disassociate myself from being set to 'expert' status. Also, since I am significantly more likely to pick a rally car up and carry it around than get into one and do something competent, I wouldn't even remotely imply my expertise in this area. I am just a humble man, a humble man who wanted to share a fun youtube video on an open message board with a bunch of oversensitive bikers, and once again the villainy of tyrants and my inability to weather the slings and arrows... Whatever. I put up a video. I wanted to share. I claim victory in the battle of who could care less.

Winter is back baby.

I willingly admit... I have truly been bested. MATPOC is basically better that me in every way. In response to this and due to my overwhelming lack of 'credibility' I have googled a picture of a pretty pony. Here you go;

Yeah... it has a brush and everything.

LOOK AT THE BRUSH!!! IT IS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

DEAR GOD, WHY CAN'T EVERYTHING BE THIS AMAZING!!!
