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.

I was looking for a pic of the local FD's new heavy mobile crane which I encountered on the motorway the other day, couldn't find it and asked a buddy. He couldn't find it either, but he did come up with this from the volunteer FD's website where they show off their kit:
Yes, it's a waterpump for getting water out of rivers and other open bodies of water for the purpose of putting out fires.
I wonder how much hp they have it producing, obviously they wouldn't run it at the sort of rpm you can get away with on a bike on the road for shorter periods.
EDIT: Found the mfg. Doesn't mention displacement, but does mention double ignition, 68 hp @ 4100 rpm. Picture on the website is of the current BMW GS, makes sense they changed to the new engine when BMW stopped making the old one. So, it stands to reason the previous one was similar, most likely the 1150 I'd think.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?
I said I have a big stick.

Reminds me of the Gullenpumpe, AKA CX500 motor that someone made into a real shit pump...

As in a septic pump? Sounds glamorous.

As seen in this biker comic from the early eighties:
Farmer Horst's liquid-manure pumpe had failed and he was very sad. But not to worry. Werner only had to listen till he beheld the sounds of a CX500, pulled it over and voila, problem solved.

Hey, now, this is unfair.
The pump is made by
Rosenbauer. You can't blame BMW for the
entire ugly.
Here's the current model:
Check it out, they actually made one as far back as the pushrods:
