EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
Show
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.

Makes one wonder if there was giggling or snoring going on at the time of the incident.

Damn, I wanted to see it crash through the seawall and fuck up some cages.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

If you look closely even a minute after the crash there is a white foam at the stern, seems the engine is stuck at "full ahead" probably no one on the bridge, at least no one is awake.

I was thinking the same thing, but then I got to wondering if they kept it ahead full so it would stay aground instead of backing up and sinking.
I know jack shit about ships, though; it's just an idea.

Wonder if they'll get a ticket for parking too close to the bridge?

He would have flipped over and gotten himself killed! Don't you know anything?! :P
If anything, he was probably forced to use the front brake because some idiot mechanic did just as he was told!


Hm...all things considered, I'd pay to watch a ship like that flip over forwards...and land on top of a bank or something...
