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.

I would so do this!
http://sophisticatedyouth.com/life/inde ... r-coaster/
This wild adrenaline junkie has set a new record for being the first man to skate down the full length of a roller coaster at almost 60 mph.
Wearing specially designed in-line skates, Dirk Auer made the attempt on the Mammoth roller coaster at the Trips Drills theme park in Stuttgart, Germany.
Mr. Auer is considered to be the most extreme in-line skater in the world. He already holds the world record for reaching speeds of 190 mph as he was dragged along behind a Porsche GT2. Wild!!

I'd probably try it. Although I'd opt for the full face helmet.

Oh, I'd totally do it - but I'd insist on some form of stabilizer bar between the skates. Just out of snapped-something-bone-paranoia.
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.

Something like a bar connecting the two skates and a pole in the middle with a nice pair of wide handlebars at the top to hold on to...I reckon you could run this at fun fairs and make actual money.
Set up the coaster for a very heavy rider, then put weights on the central bar I was thinking of to adjust for lighter riders. Seperate the track into sections with an emergency braking system at the end of each section so you could run multiple punters at a time.

Now, to make sure no one forgets that I'm a nitpicky German without a sense of humor:
Pole: A solid cylindrical object with length greater than its diameter
Overall, I'd imagine a setup something like this. Maybe with a certain degree of flexibility between the to skates:
Or, even better, I think:
