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.

The Joys of Accupuncture

Post by JustNate » Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:42 am

So I had been wanting to try accupuncture ever since I was a kid.
But not just being stuck with needles to aleviate pain, the full on burninig incense on the needles meditative accupuncture that you see Buddhists doing.

A couple of weeks ago Denise surprised me by making an appointment for me to go to this new place right here in my neighborhood.

It was the coolest thing EVER!!!

I have never been more relaxed or slept better in my life.
Today is my third appointment in a month.
Denise thinks I'm getting high, I come home with a huge grin on my face and I'm usually all spaced out for a couple hours.

Yall should try it.

Accupuncture fixed the tendonitis in my arm when the docs couldn't do it with shots.

It may be voodoo, but I don't care. The shit WORKS. That's the only metric I require. :)

a month ago I would have somewhat agreed with you.
I've done the Chiropracter thing once or twice and I'm convinced they are total quacks, but when I went into the Accupuncturist I wasn't looking to be healed, I was just looking for a spiritual lift I guess I'd call it. And it did that 100%.

Today I fealt like I had melded with the chair it's molecules and mine had become one. Upon leaving David, the accupuncturist, said he tried to wake me three times but I was out, I told him I was totally conscious of everything going on around me, I just couldn't respond.
I even told him I heard him knock the towel rack over in the bathroom two doors down the hall. He was amazed. As am I.

Jonette Nepolitano of Concrete Blond convinced me to try it for my "Bass Players Shoulder". I haven't done it yet, but I'm scheduling an appointment for this month.

She swears it's the only thing that's been able to help her back/shoulder pain.

Really though, accupuncture does work.

Johnette's great. Been a fan for many a year.


Acupuncture is something I've been wanting to try to help with my asthma. My friend swears by it and has been going to the same chick for 10 years.

Another accupuncture believer here. If you are close to DC, I have a great one. Not super expensive, but you have to use "flex" money to get reimbursed.

Helps with shoulder stuff big time.
