What with being on the cusp of the holiday season, I thought I'd post a nice little warm up photo.
Can you do better?

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.

I suppose, given the weather, he'd be on an old BMW SV with driven sidecar or a Ural, however
Here's the real Saint Nicolaus(BIG image)

For the scientifically minded:
Santa Claus - Why he doesn't exist - the facts
OK, let's look at this logically. There are about 2 billion children on the world. An average of 3.5 children per household makes 108 million houses in total. We assume that every household has at least 1 good child. Santy has 31 hours to deliver the presents, because of the timezones and the rotation of the earth, at least, if he travels from east to west. This makes 3.48 million houses per hour, or 9.68 houses per second. This means he has, per household, 133 milliseconds to park, jump out of the sleigh, climb through the chimney, put the presents under the christmas tree, climb back through the chimney, start the sleigh and go to the next house. If we assume that all the households are spread over the world, it's approximately 1.3 kilometers from household to household. That makes a total of 140.4 million kilometers that Santy has to drive. That means Santa's sleigh travels with a speed of 1258 kilometers per second, which is 4194 times the speed of sound. A normal reindeer runs about 60 kilometers per hour. Another interesting thing: the weight of the sleigh. If every household would get about 1 kilos of presents, the sleigh has a weight of 108 million kilos, without Santa Claus himself, who isn't that thin either. On land, reindeers can't pull more than 160 kilos. Even if a flying reindeer could pull 10 times that weight, 8 reindeers are useless. We would need 675 thousand of them. The total weight is now 148.5 million kilos which gives enormous friction. 148.5 million kilos with a speed of 1285 kilometers per second. The reindeers will be heated in the same way as a space probe which is going through the atmosphere of the earth. The first two reindeers will absorb about 14.3 billion kilojoules per second. They will probably explode because of that and then the two reindeers behind them will be exposed to the friction. There will be amazingly loud sounds to hear because of this, and in 0.426 seconds the whole reindeer team will have exploded. Meanwhile, Santy is exposed to 17500 times the normal gravity. If he weighs 300 kilos, he will be thrown into the air with a force of 443155 Newton.
Conclusion: If Santy has ever brought presents on Christmas eve, he's probably dead now.
On the other hand.......it's September. It's still three months to go till Christmas/Hanuka/Saturnalia/Whatever. WTF?
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?
I said I have a big stick.
