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.

And here I read that thread title and thought "Starship Troopers got shotguns?!".
That thing, indeed, brings the awe, and literally some of it.
I'm worried about the inventor, though.
If it gets into the hands of some idiot juveniles who then hand it to their not-much-smarter offspring, because, heck, it looks like a toy so it's got to be harmless and wholesome, someone will take their eye out or at least cause some severe anguish of some sort or another. Heck, even the idiot juveniles themselves will manage to hurt themselves somehow without involving their offspring.
I do hope he puts in a proper disclaimer and does due diligence in discouraging sales to minors, otherwise he'll get sued to destruction.
NOTE: When I use the term "idiot juvenile" or the plural thereof, I'm referring to persons of any age who somehow managed to grow up without becoming sufficiently adult to handle a hammer safely, let alone this awesome majesty.

Where should he have gone? I agree it is sad , but seriously, where would one go? From what I've read, the ability to rapidly prototype and manufacture things there is pretty extraordinary.Sisyphus wrote:I had this great idea because I'm an artist, "so I went to China."

Consider what he was trying to make. A fairly cheap household appliance. There simply is no longer an industry in the USA that manufactures those domestically, is there? He could have had it made in the US if it was an actual weapon, blue steel and all that, but extrusion molded polymer and gaudy colors? Not so much. He lives in the USA, so whenever he encounters something of that nature, it is made in China. So even if a company still existed in the US that could design, prototype and eventually produce it, it wouldn't be part of his reality, so even trying to find that company wouldn't occur to be an option. It would be like looking desperately for the light switch even though a clapper might be present, but if you've never encountered a clapper before, you look for the light switch.
