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.

REGISTRATION! NEW USERS!

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.

Why?! It's a waste of bandwidth! 'Course thats only my opinion. Klingon ranks about 5 steps below Esperanto for usefulness.

Let the Geek hordes begin the defense and flame...

You are all just jealous that your country's publicly funded international radio network, who are usually as serious as cancer, didn't do it.
Come on, it's a LAUGH! And it shows that here in Germany, where TNG is on every weekday, Voyager, DS9 on Saturdays with Sunday repeats and TOS on Sundays, where technobabble or the ability to technobabble reminds everyone of the most highly esteemed profession (engineering), being a geek is okay, socially accepted and beginning to verge on the cool. Nazi-Episode Land (which TV show am I referencing here, anyone, for bonus points?) will soon become geek heaven on Earth. This is just the wakeup call for everyone else: LOOK AT US! WE HAVE THE MOST SUCCESSFULL ENGINEERING SECTOR IN THE WORLD! WE ARE GEEKS! LIVE WITH IT! DO SO LONG AND PROSPER!
God, it's good to be able to say that :)

I...believe that...it was...William Shatner. I must admit I wonder what Kirkambic Pentameter sounds like in Esperanto?

ROTFL!! I didn't think anyone knew about the special relationship between David and I.

BTW, it looks like you're pretty skilled with PhotoShop. Maybe you make me some Hasselhoff decals for my bike. Custom graphics really are a must for Aprilias, right Vance? :o

Actually, most people here think he is a tv series actor. Which equals bein a retarded monkey with a brain fungus fetish.
