PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE ANYTHING.
This measure is inconvenient, yes, but necessary at present.
Click below for more information.
EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
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.
Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!
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
Umah Thurman Midget Circus
Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.
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.

Shhhh, Yer scaring my little '88 hardbody...
I had one of those here in CT.
2001 was the year my life became a Country song. My wife left me, took the furniture & the cats, and my truck rusted to bits.
Driving to work, a car behind me started honking furiously. I pulled over. Driver said "Look at your tailgate" and sped off.
It was falling off. So I put a ratchet strap across it and drove to work. At lunch, I unscrewed the plastic bedliner to see what the problem was. Both bed sides fell off when I unscrewed the bedliner. One wheel well fell onto the wheel, the other (barely) stayed connected to the bed side. The rust gap along the bed on both sides was at least four inches wide the entire length of the bed from front to back, often over six inches wide.
I took some crappy stamped-tin shelf brackets from the shop and screwed the bedsides back into place, and put the bedliner back in. I parked the truck in front of a friend's store on a main road and got $600 for it as-is. I waited for the divorce to finalize and bought myself a newer Nissan pickup which I'm still driving.

YMMV of course.
What late 80's early 90's nissans? Those all rotted out a decade ago up here.

It's hard to kill a Toyota truck.
My '80 Toyota truck finally died when I blew the engine....at 536,455 miles.
Of course, I could have replaced the engine and gone another half a million miles, but I wanted something different.

See?
*sighs* I should have replaced that damn engine.
