EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
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!

2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
Click if you have a problem.
Show

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.

Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.

Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.

Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent

A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

I dunno...you rubbing off on your neighbors Maniacles? Looks like they didn't pay too close attention. Its god awful long and the front forks look to be in the stock position(?) so it just looks like it would be a slow turning pig.
Thats just me tho'...

It's a Custom Chrome HR3 Kit bike, kit runs about 12K without motor IIRC.

Interesting . . . to me, it looks more like a home made job. For some reason, the front end(particularly the front wheel) looks totally out of proportion. I think building big V cafe racers is really cool and all, but the lines on this one just don't seem quite right to me.

It's the frame that's all wrong. There's too much space around the motor, the steering head is way out there, the fork is still too long. It's obvious to me that this "cafe" bike was designed by somebody used to building choppers...

No, THIS is how it's done!

You are absolutely right. Notice the position of the foot controls! I guess for some chopper guys, those would qualify as "rearsets".

YOWZA! Prices for the Super Manx starting at $39K!!! It certainly makes more sense than some of the "choppers" out there, but damn, that is a lot of money.

That was built by a friend of mine. Jarod used to be the head wrench at Hawg Heads before they went under. I thought he told me he built it for a customer. You really have to see the bike in person. The proportions are really alot better than in the pix. The thing is BIG! In a GOOD way! BG and I wouldn't look stupid riding the thing. Cruise up to Evergreen and check it out. I'd be happy to introduce you to Jarod.
