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.

It just HAS to be photo shopped. Maybe they're just laying there on one knee, fucking around.
If that's for real I'm gonna shit.

If you ever watch the Tour d' France through the mountain stages, they never lean to anywhere near this degree and those guys are the best cycists in the world. Besides, I cannot see a bicycle generating enough force (centripetal or centrifical? I cannot remember which) to maintain traction on the edges of their tires like in the photo.

Staged photo for sure, especially looking at the line the second bike is on.

Also mountain bikes on knoby tires? Please! and bare knees on the pavement?

As for TDF riders they are some of the strongest athletes in the world but only a handful are good riders, usually the ones that came from mountain bike downhill racing background. Definitely the ballsiest of all athletes reaching some insane speeds on the mountain descends practically naked.

You might say they are crazy, but they are definitely not quitters, if they can get up and ride they will ride to the finish they will, covered in blood and sometimes even with broken bones.

Funny how I put on armor to go ride a motorcycle, but love to bomb down hills on a road bike in what amounts to colorful underwear. MATPOC we've both fallen off the cycling wagon and need to get back on before we fatten up and fossilize...

I need to get my fat ass on the bicycle too. Go check the ADV slideshow, there are a couple of guys lying on the pavement with motard bikes.
Pretty funny picture.

That about sums it up.
