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.

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.

My neighbor lady had one when she was little , it took off on her , but my cousins had a pair they kept at the grain elevator they owned . They used them for rat and mouse control. Harvey would seperate them at night and keep one pened up , the other would always come back to its mate in the morning . He let them sleep in bottom desk drawer in his desk.
If your going to kick some ass , kick cancers ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My buddy had one in columbus, OH when I lived there a few years back--i think they're technically "legal" there. It was friendly and clean, and he even put a little harness on it for outdoor time. he kept it in a large, chicken-wire type cage but wouldn't let it have free run of the house. When loose, the thing would scurry under almost anything and curl up somewhere (a shoe, etc.). i swear, the thing could get through a keyhole. Simply avoid the northern english custom of "ferret-panting" and i think you'll be fine!

They hide your stuff. Especially the charm like things say your keys and jewelry. They do hide all of it in the same place so it's easy to find as long as you know where they're hiding it.
So this is where I'm supposed to put a witty or profound statement. I'll work on that

One thing to remember is that even when de-scented they smell rather strongly.
I'd keep them away from little kids just because they can get a little, uh, chompy. Not vicious (although I'm sure some can be), more like clumsy with where they bite.
They're funnier than hell to watch. A friend had one that got startled and made a weird squawking noise as it did it's best slinky impression across the floor.

I used to have one when I was single. She had the run of the apartment and liked to climb up the drawers in the kitchen and sleep in the silverware. If you hand-raise them from kits they're super friendly and have no problem being handled. As a matter of fact, I used to take mine to my wifes classroom and the little buggers would swarm all over her and she loved the attention.
They're nocturnal, so play-time is usually some time around 0200. It wasn't unusual for Echo to climb into bed and nibble on my toes to wake me up.
You can get leashes for them also, I used to walk mine in the park and chicks totally were all over her. Maybe it was the leash?
It's amazing how much personality they have, they really are endearing and wonderful pets (especially if you litter-box train them).

We had ferrets once upon a time...
Ferrets and cats- If you want huge entertainment all the time, get a couple of ferrets and a cat. Hours of fun.
The good: They are cute, affectionate, fun, playful... Hell, they're *FERRETS*
The bad: They smell a bit, even descented. They are playful, have SHARP teeth, and tend to forget you don't have fur to protect your skin like they do (be prepared to bleed a little). Then there's the big problem, and the reason I no longer have ferrets... They are magical shit machines. They will eat 4 ounces of ferret chow and produce 4 POUNDS of ferret crap every day. We had one of the big "ferret condo" type multi-level enclosures with 2 of the corner litterboxes inside. We had to clean that sumbitch twice a day, every day. Also, mine tore things up... Carpet, furnature, the occasional appliance. That could have just been a personality quirk with mine though... I referred to them as the WereRats for a reason :: grin ::
Get the ferrets. Get a cat. Get ready to spend all your spare time rolling around on the floor laughing.

Some days you can look to your left as you ride and see your Valkyrie- pacing you and waiting for her moment...
Days like that, the only appropriate reaction is to call out "Let's dance, beautiful!" and then twist the throttle to it's stop.
Remember, folks- Your vote means fuck-all. If voting could actually change anything it would have been outlawed long ago.
The only votes that mean anything in this day and age are made from rooftops.

I Always see everyone that ever owned a ferret either say they smell "a bit" or , and I quote "My babies don't smell" with some mortified look on their face of how could you ever even think such a thing. Look friends.... FERRETS FUCKING SMELL.... They smell like shit, they smell like urine, and the ultimate fucked up thing is that you and all your shit will smell like ferret shit and urine and YOU won't know it. I had this girlfriend that had a ferret or two... whatever. Her house smelled so bad, and I am a smoker. I bought an upright bass from this guy. i went to his house to pick it up and it smelled horrible. Then he hands me the soft case for my new bass. I ask "What the fuck, have your ferret rats been livin in this thing?" He gives A little chuckle and says "It doesn't smell that bad!", in this give me a break tone. I have now had that bass for two and a half years and guess what... The soft case is still in the fucking garage and it still smells like nasty ass ferret.
Anyway, good luck finding a ferret. I here they are lots of fun.

Same thing as owning cats. If you can train them not to piss or shit anywhere but their cage, and you clean the cage every couple of days you can avoid the piss/shit smell. This is where most of the "ferret-smell" comes from.
I've only known one person who didn't have at least a faint cat-piss smell permeating from her appartment, because she cleaned the box every day.
While baths aren’t critical to ferret hygiene, laundry is. Their bedding should be washed once a week, and their litter boxes cleaned every day. Both bedding and litter will be heavily scented with ferret musk, and it’s a good bet those items – not the ferret itself — are the source of any unpleasant smells around the house.
Spaying or neutering the ferret will greatly reduce the amount of smell they produce, and we found with a friend's pair of weiner-monkeys that if you use cedar chips, they just end up smelling like cedar (there are arguments though, that cedar may be harmful to some respiratory systems, including humans. It really depends on sensitivity).
