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.

Stealing a car to get to your hearing for your last auto-theft? Really?!!!! What short-bus window-licker thought this was a good idea?

CHP says Oakland man stole car to get to court
PUBLISHED BY THE REPORTER
Posted: 11/06/2009 01:01:25 AM PST

Vehicles, it seems, may be the bane of Oakland resident Samuel George Botchvaroff's existence.
In recent months, the 24-year-old's vehicle was impounded during an arrest, leaving him without transportation.

On Tuesday, he needed to get to Vallejo for his arraignment in an auto theft case.

With no way to get there, he apparently stole a car in Oakland and drove it to Vallejo, where he attended court, California Highway Patrol officials said.

Meanwhile, officials were notified of the theft and tracked the car to the Vallejo courthouse, compliments of the car's LoJack device.

As Botchvaroff entered the car, officials said, they arrested him. He was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of auto theft and possession of stolen property.

This guy is actually onto something. He takes a nearby car for point-to-point use, like a Zipcar. He's using GPS to make the vehicle available to a networking system (in his case, unintentionally) and the vehicle is now available for someone else leaving the courthouse. Sounds pretty cutting-edge to me.

Unintentional personal rapid transit?
Sounds like something Alan from Boston Legal would have argued (and damn the man that canceled the Shat again).

Last name sounds Slavic to me, contrary to a stereotype not Polish but Russian or Ukrainian (Belorussian?)
