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.
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.

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.

Heading up to the Seattle for Labor Day - where to eat?
My little sister and I are tooling up to Seattle for September 3-7. Anyone from around there want to recommend good places for us to grab our dinners while we're in town?

Fair enough. We’re staying at a hotel right next to the space needle; it’s reasonably close to the convention center where our expo is being held. We’ll have wheels, though, and I’m willing to go a ways for a truly good meal.
My sister is in training for a triathlon, so we’re looking not so much for deliciously greezy burgers or heart-clogging fried cheese. She’s big into good salads and healthy carbs; Italian is good.
We’re both fans of salmon, so if there’s a place you know that does well with that, I’d be keen to hear of it. Actually, I like seafood generally.
I’m sure there are lots of places in the Seattle area that are good, but hopefully you’ve got a favorite you could steer us towards. Someone recommended Ivars; thoughts?

My personal Favorites in Seattle:
catfish corner- casual, delicious southern goodness
gallerias- central Mexican cuisine, lots of unexpected ingredients, with a much more refined presentation than your typical American style with tons of cheese and grease
paseo- Cuban style grilled sandwiches, tiny space with open air facade
Mesob- Ethiopian fare- share a "mesob platter" and a couple of sambusas. The coffee is top notch, too.
Fisherman's terminal has my favorite traditional fish and chips.
Tutta Bella, and Via Tribunali both have gourmet, true Italian style woodfire pizzas.
Calamity Janes in Georgetown has a seared tuna salad with champaign vinaigrette that I eat at least once a week. They also have terrific desserts.
There's really tons of great eatin- I haven't even started on brewpubs and such!

+1 on Paseo. They have one on Shilshole now, so you can pick up sandwiches and eat on the Beach.
Carta de Oaxaca in Ballard is one of my favorite Mexican places. Oaxacan cooking is very different from the northern Mexican that most places serve up here and it is amazing.
Another good Mexican place, that is a little different and fun for tourists (and locals) is Agua Verde, on Boat Street. Great tacos (including some fish varieties) and other food. They rent kayaks downstairs so you can paddle around the lakes if you like.
Chinatown is always fun for wandering around and snacking.

Very kind thanks to you folks for responding - I think we have some good ideas for where to go now.

As an addendum: if anyone can reccommend a decent drinking establishment in the aforementioned area, I'm reliable for a round and a few stories.

My personal favorite for knocking back a few is Shorty's on 2nd and Bell. Kickass punk dive bar with a 12 or so pinball (WOO PINBALL!) machines and a handful of arcade games. Beltown has some rad little places all within walking distance. Then of course there is the Georgetown strip down here near the Haus. Smartypants and Jules Maes have tasty grub.
I think it may be a shorter list of where not to go. Seattle is a kickass town.

Is there anything wacky going down the week Rob's there? Cretins party? Weirdness at Hanta Haus? Somebody mentioned Vashon...

Since you're staying practically across the street, drinking at the 5 Point (if you like true un-contrived dives) is a must. Their motto is "Alchoholics Serving Alchoholics Since 1929" Their Fish and Chips rocks at 2am.
Also in the area:
The Mediterranean Kitchen - Middle eastern, mmm good
Palace Kitchen - Better local fare
Noodle Ranch - Pan Asian Noodle specialties, and next to Shorty's and Lava Lounge
Volterra - My buddy Don Curtiss' fancy Italian fusion restaurant in Ballard. Pricier but if you like the best, Volterra kicks ass. Wine Spectator called Don "One of America's Most Innovative Chefs"
Last time I had the Wild Boar..(insert Homer drooling here)
The Night Light - True retro-kitsch, featured in the River Phoenix movie "Dogfight" Tell Sandy and her beehive hair-do, I said hey.
The Sunset Tavern - In Ballard, beers and local music
Tiger Tail - also Ballard, great atmosphere, good drinks, asian fusion. The Tin Hat bar is almost next door, or stop in to Slave to the Needle and get some ink.
Seattle is a foodies (or drunken punk's) wet dream

Seconded about the 5 Point. That's my afterwork grub place. If you like chicken fried steak, get it. It's effin big and tasty. Also, mac and cheese wedges. Deep fried breaded cheezy goodness. Let them cool for a moment or you'll have molten cheese in your mouth. Totally worth it.
