Cool for the exposure, but not so cool for those who don't think Manga is for kids.

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.

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.

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.

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.

not for kids?
In Japan there are Manga for all occasions. There are even "Manga" that companies use for training manuals.
"Cool for the exposure, but not so cool for those who don't think Manga is for kids"
There are Manga for kids, and pornographics Manga, and everything in between. Maybe I don't understand what you mean...

Re: not for kids?
I realize that there are many different levels of Manga, but I'm referring to the fact that mainstream exposure for a lot of people will be in the Sunday funnies.jr_bear wrote:In Japan there are Manga for all occasions. There are even "Manga" that companies use for training manuals.

By putting manga in the "funny pages" it gives the impression that manga are comics, like Peanuts or Garfield. Kind of like my father's impression that when I'm watching "Akira" or "Grave of the Fireflies" (the war movie that I think everyone should see) that I'm watching "cartoons" like Hannah Barberra.

Actually, it's "Grave of the Fireflies" and it's one of the most beautiful and brutal war movies I've ever seen. It was put out by Studio Ghibli ("My Neighbor Totoro", "Castle in the Sky", "Kiki's Delivery Service") and follows two small childrens' struggle to survive in Japan during WWII. It's a heartbreaking movie that has made just about everyone I know snotty-cry, but the reality of the situation makes it a must see for...well...everyone. You'll definately think differently about the cost of war.Aggroton wrote:what is this "war of the fireflies" you speak of? and why must i see it?

hentai = perverted.
ecchi = normal porno, but milder.
usually hentai involves something you'd consider "out of the mainstream" for even hardcore porn.
like a monster with dozens of 5 mile long tentacle penises raping the teen schoolgirls in the city it's destroying while it eats the genitals of one of the protagonists.
or just degradation and domination.

Why isn't manga suitable for kids? Isn't it non porn illustration or animation in the Nippon style?
Perhaps I'm not clear on my terms, but I'm thinking manga equates to Speed Racer. Other than suffering from "engrish" translation and really bad voice overs, there's nothing too objectionable about it, is there?
Help a dumb gaijin out!

"Speed Racer" and "Battle of the Planets" are anime (Japanese animation). Manga are the comic equivelent of anime. My point is people equate anime, and by extension manga, to the lowest level of anime that they've been exposed to. "Speed Racer" is harmless fun, but not at all indicative of the complexity and wonderful story-telling that Manga are capable of.
