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.

Post by Muppet » Mon Feb 14, 2005 9:25 am

hiya,
i know many of you are quite knowledgeable, especially in obscure topics so here's hopin' one of you can help me:
I am looking for a President (US or not, doesn't matter) who died a rather traumatic or gruesome death. Please no JFK or Lincoln. i'd also prefer someone recent (past 100 years or so) although if there is something particular interesting, I'd ignore the time frame...
thanks for your help!!!
i will post a pictorial explanation at a later date ;)

xoxo

Let's see....does it have to be a President?

Patrice Lumumba, first democratically elected Prime Minister of the Kongo, was executed (neck shot I think it was).

Nikolai Ceaucescu, Romanian Dictator, got the firing squad on fucking LIVE TELEVISION!

William Henry Harrison, 9th US President, didn't wear a coat or hat during the inaugural ceremonies. Caught Pneumonia and died a month later.

Sani Abacha, President of Nigeria, died during an orgy with three Indian prostitutes in 1998. Rumor has it that he got Pfizer to supply him with Viagra even before it hit the shelves, and his heart didn't stand up as did his dick.

Josef Stalin died of cerebral hemorrhage in 1953 - his death was, apparently, quite painful while his party comrades arranged for doctors, who could have saved his life, not to intervene (not even an aspirin).

Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana's plane crashed while he was on the way home from UN led peace talks with the Tutsi led RPF rebels. The Hutu government claimed the plane was shot down by the RPF, the 1994 massacres on Tutsi and moderate Hutus followed (between 500.000 and 1.000.000 killed, many hacked to death with machetes, sticks or whatever was handy). As it happens, the flight data recorder was recovered from the wreck and could have proven the RPF had nothing to do with the crash - but the UN managed to conveniently loose the black box in a file cabinet and forget about it. Which fits nicely with the UN's and the West's inaction during the massacres.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Hitler's exit was also quite spectacular. Not the death as such but the odyssee his remains were sent on, only to disappear on some Russian garbage dump many years later. Newest scientific findings and some testimonials are saying so but actually still nobody knows what really happened.

Harold Holt, Australian PM went for a swim in one of our prized beaches and never came back.

Harold Holt disappeared while swimming at Cheviot Beach near Portsea, Victoria on 17 December, 1967. His body was never recovered. Without determining the cause of Holt's death, a joint report by Commonwealth and Victoria Police, submitted in January 1968, concluded that, '… there has been no indication that the disappearance of the late Mr Holt was anything other than accidental'. The report (see copy on file A1209, 1968/8063) found that his last movements followed a routine domestic pattern, his demeanour had been normal and despite his knowledge of the beach, the turbulent conditions (high winds, rough seas and rip tides) overcame him. The explanations put forward for a failure to find the body included an attack by marine life, the body being carried out to sea by tides or becoming wedged in rock crevices.

Whatcha wanna bet he is really croacked twenty or thirty years later, sitting in an inner tube floating in the muddy pond behind some ramshackle farmhouse in the middle of nowhere (plenty of that in OZ, no offense intended), knocking back a cold one and chuckling his ass off?
I mean, seriously, what better way to fake your death? Follow your everyday routine but just not come back from the stormy, shark infested beach you go swimming every day?
