EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!

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.

The annoying thing

Post by Guder » Sat Jan 29, 2005 7:34 am

I've done a similar dance, but it doesn't work as well for me.

[edit]WARNING: Little blue guy pretending to ride a 2 stroke scooter. Apparently very common in banal media outlets, probably hit Europe extensively. I can easily see the novelty wearing off, but Hella cool at first. Bio is interesting.

[Poll edit] So, I'm sitting at home in south Denver, and I hook up the scanner for fun. I hear them talking about finally moving planes around at DIA, but nothing can fly yet. A buddy stops off and I say, "So, what happened at DIA?" He said, "It's because they bombed New York." I sez, "Fuck you, what's up at DIA."

And so, on 9/14 I become the last person on earth to hear about the beginning of the end of all civil liberties in America.

Hence my poll question, am I really the last to hear about everything?

Oh, for god's sake!
For the last couple of months, espescially on the music station like MTV, where there are no other commercials than for mobile phone ringtones and shit like that, this stupid video has been pandered at least two or three times every commercial break.
You can get the soundtrack as ringtone, you can get the video as an animated logo, you can have the video-ringtone, and it's always fucking everywhere! One moment, you are watching marylin manson being full of himself on MTV masters, the next moment there is this video in a commercial and some dipshit tells you to call some stupid number to get the "cult ringtone"......it makes me wanna kill!
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I guess I don't immerse myself in pop media. First I've ever seen it was today, and I searched the site for earlier referrence.

If you knew it so well, you shouldn't have clicked on it.

:P

From the website, yes.

I thought it was really cool because it was an organic creation.

The sound had a life of its own, before being tied to the animation, before being exploited for ringtones.
the creator wrote:I didn't reflect on the fact that I didn't know who created the sound until I was encouraged to put the animation up on my site. A friend sent it to me as an mp3 file some years ago. When I finished the animation I didn't know who to credit for the sound, so I put it as a question in the end credits.

--yadda yadda--------

Apparently he was oblivious to the fact that his sound had spread around the internet, even before the Annoying Thing. He told me that he didn't actually make that sound as a joke at first, but as a serious attempt to imitate the 2-stroke engine of a moped of his.
As Paul Harvey would say "And now you know...the...REST of the story."
