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.

First fix:
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!
- 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.

So, I'm late to the game here, but here's some information germane to the subject, since I've worked on a bunch of photoshoots and several movies now:BackDoorBarbie wrote:then i saw the rig that moves her and i wondered if they even bothered to start it for the shot. and that made me sad. actors learn martial arts for movies and its just a shame she missed out on something that cool (especially that bike) because it was easier to make her into a poser instead of teach her to ride. (didnt angelina actually ride in salt- just sayin).
This shoot, like every similar ad/photoshoot/movie shoot, fakes things up for safety, budgetary, practicality and insurance reasons. They use a trailer to mount the cameras and the bike for close-up moving shots to get the footage they want and for consistency and efficiency.
The jump bike is a rebodied Supermoto of some sort piloted by a stuntwoman. Look for the big-ass radiator. The insurers and her agent almost certainly wouldn't let Knightly ride either bike during the shoot even if she knows how; if she drops it and hurts herself the shoot is ruined and they have a big payout on the bike (not a big deal) as well as derailing the big budget movie she might be starring in that starts shooting in a week (potentially a *very* big deal - millions of dollars).
It's just the way the business works. If you grab a copy of the 2007 Rev'it catalog, my 1098 is on the cover in action on the track... except it is all rigged and photoshop. Nobody rode my bike on the track, it was hung off a tilt rig with a fully geared model on it and the images were processed to create the desired look.
