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.

Fun with crime!

Posting this here for fun's sake. I Bookfaced it last night after the fact while I was still all hot and bothered.

Some cat tried to "mug" me in the early morning when I went to check on my shop.
<a href="http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e95/y ... 3573_n.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e95/y ... 3573_n.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

All is good. The dude gashed my face with a fingernail or key or something during a really, really poor attempt at a GaNgStaR haymaker, which ended up at my collarbone. I gave him a quick right hook in reply, which unfortunately missed his nose and hit his forehead, thereby cracking a bone in my hand. Sigh. He ran off quick after that, and my smoking habit doesn't really allow me to chase after younger dudes anymore. Cops we flagged down. Reports filed.

Good thing I'm not pretty to begin with. :roll:

I was armed at the time. Sucker hit me quick. Didn't seem prudent at the time to reach for my pocket, and given the ineffectiveness of his swing, I didn't figure I needed to go that route. The hand will heal. "Boxer's Fracture" it's called, I guess.

The guy must have been looking for a quick drug fix to think of going after someone like you. Appearances and all that, you're a scary lookin dood!

What The Fuck? Doesn't a proper mugging usually consist of two or more assailants, with at least one of them displaying a weapon of some kind?
Idiots. Probably so stupid none of the other muggers will work with them.

2 hoods wandering the Bronx looking for trouble will get picked off by the cops here.

My guy knew what was doing and just picked the wrong mark. I got lucky that: he didn't have back up, try to pull a gun, do something silly or the situation would have turned south fast.

I've been mugged in the past and it involved the following conversation:
Give me your wallet.
here is my money.
I said wallet motherfucker!
Ok but you know what happens when the cops catch you with my IDs in the wallet.
You some government id guy.
Yep...
I'll take your money.
Here's my money,have a good day.....

It's true you don't exactly look like a suburban housewife, glad you're mostly alright.

Hope the hand heals up quick and don't forget the bactine for your face...

Glad to hear you're alright.
Hope the medical bills for that fracture won't be too bad.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Glad you made it out relatively unscathed. In the moment, it's so hard to remember to make contact with the lead knuckles.

Based on lots of research that will happen in 2018 where idiots are scientifically gathered up and beaten, scientifically, about the head and neck region, the most vulnerable point on an idiot found in the wild actually is the forehead, you sir, are ahead of the times.

I'd say what you described was more of an attack/assault than a mugging. Not that it changes how much it sucks to have your personal space and safety violated like that... did he say "Gimmme the Cashhh."? If so, I'd say that would be a mugging.

Hopefully that isn't your drawing hand, even if it is, you're a tough cat, I'm sure you'll be alright. Heal up fast.

Also. Chicks dig scars.
