So I'm going to pick up my Uly today, and about a month ago I asked my buddy if I could borrow his truck, which he said is no problem.
Now, I'm a big fan of community, no reason to replicate resources. EG: I own a snowblower, which is a fucking expensive toy, but isn't needed all the time, so make sure my neighbors know it's all theirs if I'm not actively doing my driveway. Why should they need one?
Now, my buddy is mostly on the same page with me. But he's flaky. Which I'm ok with, he just started a new job, got a lot of stuff going on, etc. But a month ago he said I could use the truck today. A week ago he realized his schedule is pretty tight this AM, so we should switch rigs over the weekend. Of course that never happened, so I get a text this morning that he gets off at 7, and has class at 9. 7:45 I'm at his class, blowing up his phone, and he calls and says, "no man, I don't get off til 8..."
Throw in drive time, and I'm an hoUr early.
Now, I get it that I'm the one receiving the favor, but all I can think sitting here is "I bet I could score an old pickup on CL, and wouldn't have to worry about this anymore..."

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.

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.

I hear ya, Rench-I'd lend you my unused pickup in a heartbeat, if you were in Denver. I'm on the other side of the fence on that one. I've got a tiny, 2wd truck that I'm being heavily taxed for and am being choked with it for insurance. I don't need it anymore.
I just wish there were a way to keep a pickup around that you could deploy like a life raft, in the event you need it. As it is, I bought a craptastic econo-car that gets 18 MORE miles to the gallon than my truck, and put a trailer hitch on it. I have a fold-away trailer for bike hauling in storage, now. I just wish it were easy to keep a small truck.
