EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!

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.

I have dreams that I'm doing stuff like that on a motorcycle, and they are jangleplatz! If I had to do that in real life I'd piss my own and everyone else's pants in a three mile radius! (and then crash on the first set of stairs) That guy has balls of diamond, holy crap!

And a sharp dress-sense, too. I love a guy who goes to do something silly and takes the time to dress up properly.
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.

If, like me, you want to <s>want</s> need to know more after seeing that, that was the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo, an annual downhill race in Valparaiso, Chile.
Here's a writeup up this year's race, which was just a couple weeks ago: Filip Polc Wins 2011 Valparaiso Cerro Abajo
(the video is from the previous year's event)

And here is what happens when you don't get it quite right:

That's just crazy. I really want to try something like that.
I'd probably piss Dan's pants though.

I junked out on videos for quite some time after watching that first one.
Here is a good compilation:

There is another one, that I can't seem to find right now, that has someone overshooting the whole damned landing ramp on that big drop, and exploding his back wheel.
Didn't look pleasant.

I broke three bones and shit Dan's pants watching that.
