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?

Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

Why does this make me think of (some) of the NSP crowd? Don't get me wrong, I love NSP.

If you mean scooterists, sure. Scooter scenesters overlap with hipsters. Generally, though, hipsters aren't very mechanical so their typical favorite vehicles are the fixed-gear-bicycle and the hand-me-down Volvo. Some venture into mopeds, perhaps to graduate to cafe-racer motorcycles. Time marches on, and vintage scooters are becoming more of an adult interest and less of a youthful cheap thing.

I never hot the hipster hate. Feels like the modern version of the "you long hair hippie faggots", with less beatings, admittedly.

I think "hipster" is the new term for twntysomethings that are chronic underachievers with a bad attitude and a chip on their shoulder.

Hell, twenty odd years ago that could've been me. I was just a slacker/partier and didn't give a shit.

I guess it's that I know a lot of people who look like what you'd call a hipster but do not display any of the douchery commonly attributed to the clade. Perhaps I've never met the real Hipsters, but if I did I suspect they would be made of straw.

The biggest difference between "hipsters" and the scooterists of Not Summit Point is that you've met and interacted with them. If you hadn't, they'd still be fucking hipsters. Just like how we're all dangerous speeding stunting maniacs and outlaw biker scum to the squares.

I didn't get to the end, so I guess I'll cut them some slack. I was just thinking about how this video mocks hipsters for trying to act original by conforming, but is totally unoriginal in itself, which is ironic, which is in itself, a quality of hipsterism or something.

I'm kinda with Rolly. Making fun of hipsters is about as cool and cutting edge as being a hipster.
