PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE ANYTHING.
This measure is inconvenient, yes, but necessary at present.
Click below for more information.
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.
Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!
Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.
Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.
Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent
Umah Thurman Midget Circus
Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.
A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

While I'd love to say I'll just buy the thing outright, the starting bid is already way the hell out of my reach. 
I have, however, always been amazed with this building. Scenes from the Batman reboot have been shot there, if you take the Ike (290) into the city, it's like the gateway to downtown to pass under the thing. Gothic, massive, it just screams "The City of Big Shoulders." I love it. Whenever anyone is here and I actually have time to kill, I'll take you through it. Literally, the expressway runs THROUGH THE FRIKKING BUILDING.
I figure between the auction, the win, the jurisdictional hell developing it will fall into, and whatever else will go wrong, the first condos won't be on the market for minimum 10 years. I'm seriously saving pennies now.
Yes Ames, you can come visit when I own a piece of the Batman set.

For a minute there I thought you bought an overpass.
You can buy status, but sucking is immutable. After a certain point, upgrading only makes you suck more ostentatiously.

Dude, you have NO soul. I'd love to come visit and relax under the trees. Oh, nevermind. Only a fucking robot would feel comfy there.

Honestly, it's just the unmedicated issues coming out. I am still dead on serious on a condo in that place, and slowly getting the wife to come around.
I'm just as serious and looking at a shorter timeline for 40+ acres in Wisconsin or Michigan, preferably wooded, where I can build my own log cabin for the cost of a few cases of beer, with a wood-burning stove as the only accomodation.
I could live in the woods forever, but I do love the city life occasionally. And, as above, that building always struck a chord with me. ::shrug::

Boo, I resemble that remark.
I'd live there and love it, as long as I got to design the interiors myself.

While I'd ultimately prefer the seclusion and privacy of a remote wooded location, I absolutely fucking love neo-Gothic architecture.
A neo-Gothic apartment is still an apartment, with all the noise that goes with it.
I said I want QUIET!
... and get off my fucking lawn.
Give me a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the woods that's not too far from the city.

If you want to talk preference money is no object I'll do up I'll take the sexy pad downtown and a place out on the plains to boot, but really, that place has plenty of soul, it's not as if it's some modernist glass and steel monstrosity (although I'd live in one of those too).
