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!

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.

I was on my way home from work today when I ended up behind a kid on a gixxer. He took off from a stoplight and dragged the bottom of his right shoe along the pavement. Then he switched to his left shoe. Back and forth, back and forth, I thought that's odd. Plus the the fact he was just wearing Nikes. We never caught another stoplight so I didn't get a chance to ask him. Seemed like a waste of good shoes. I kept waiting for him to hit a dip and whack his leg up behind his head. Anyone? Anyone? Is this thing on?

Maybe he stepped in poo, and was trying to scrape it off.

Maybe he was about to start running wind sprints and was trying to bring his shoes up to temp?

I've dragged my feet once or twice after stepping in a pool of oil at the light, usually notice once my feet start slipping off the pegs.

Another possibility is Fred Flintstone influence

What's with the Rossi/motogp leg poke, anyway? Are they just trying to take up more space to close the inside line a bit?

Rossi started the trend few years ago and like everything in racing, others tried to copy him. In the interview sometime ago he said it helps him turn the bike, perhaps an air-brake? who knows...

He wasn't doing the Rossi thing, hell I do that. Mainly, cuz I'm a poser. This dude was actually dragging the soles of his shoes on the street. Maybe he doesn't pay for his own shoes?
