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.

pujo, my dog

Post by sun rat » Tue Jul 14, 2009 6:41 pm

today is the tenth day from pujo's exposure to parvo. sure he is immunized. sure he is an adult dog. but still there was a chance...

he is still well. :)

spoiled to no end, but well. i really won't breathe completely easy till a week or so more has passed. just in case...

you know, i was going to go to houston and galveston last weekend. but i didn't. because i just couldn't bear the what-ifs. and now that it's all said and done, i'm glad i stayed. i have no regrets. i don't care if perhaps some people might be miffed that i put my worry about my dog above all else. (not saying anyone is, only saying i don't care if anyone is).

i don't care that i didn't get a well-deserved break that i had been looking forward to. i'd rather stay and watch over one of the few beings on this planet that have given me unconditional love, than spend the time with people who will judge me, and have judged me this way or that way, whose love is determined by my behavior, by my words, by my ability to do for them. of course, as humans we all judge people based on these things. not saying it is wrong, per se, just that such expectations get tiresome.

but gods, it sure is nice to have a little 8 pound someone who loves me only because i exist and feed him, who doesn't turn and hate me because i said the wrong thing, or something equally stupid. and so i treat pujo with the same consideration i would want for myself were our places reversed.

and no, i don't believe for one fucking moment that humans are a superior species. opposable thumbs do not make one superior, only more able. but that's just me, i know.

when it all comes down to it, the only thing that really matters on this fucked up planet is love. after all, what other reason could there possibly be to live?

and now, i am off to cuddle my little dog.

fuck it all.

Hey there SunRat - I'm so sorry to hear your sweet little furkid was exposed to Parvo, but I'm very gald to hear that he's out of the woods.
Pujo looks like such a sweet little guy.
I don't think you were awful to blow off humans instead of taking care of your furkid by any means!
I almost backed out of going to the 4th of July in the Appalachians trip because we almost couldn't find a sitter for our dog - I didn't want to put her in a kennel because she would have had a nervous breakdown. Fortunately, a good friend of ours was able to watch her, when we dropped her off at his house, she made herself right at home. It was harder to drop our dog off than it was to send our daughter to Michigan to visit her grandparents. I mean, how do you get your dog to understand "I'll be back in 4 days, you're just staying with Jordan until we come home because you don't fit on the back of a motorcycle."?

Being an animal rescue volunteer, I see far too animals that are abused and neglected and emails about abused animals that attest to this fact. If humans were truly the superior species, we'd love unconditionally like the doggies do, and we'd be a lot nicer to other people and the planet.

Please give Pujo a cuddle for me too

Your dog has a mohawk. How awesome is that?
Glad to hear he's ok.

I just got an email update about my dogs, who I had to find a new home for, and it took me 15 minutes to read cause I kept balling. I sure miss them.

Give him a squeeze for me!!

There have been days when this little guy was the only reason I got out of bed.

He's at least 12 years old, maybe more, I love him.

thanks for all the well wishes. i worried myself pretty sick there.

mg, his hawk is pretty stringy, but his mane is still pretty full. i'll try to get a decent pick of his whiskery-ness and the mane. and no, we don't cut his hair, he's just a chihuahua-mutt and his hair can't decide if it wants to grow.
fuck it all.

As you can see, we neglect her severely and treat her very poorly - she has no blankie in this photo. Poor dog.
