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.

In one of his other videos, he fires a larger shoulder-launched rocket with stabilizing fins that may have travelled up to a kilometre. I expect great things from this young man.

There is a guy in Vegas who is a pyrotechnic and he launches rockets from his Vespa, pretty cool shit. He did a little show for us at the Pioneer Saloon when we were there in March. He uses his hard case to conceal the rockets and uses electronic launch as well, shoots them straight up in the air

No. Scooter is optional. Sad to say, but a few people that go to that don't bring a bike of any kind. They all have broken scooters. NSP was the first scooter rally in years I showed up on a scooter.(And it revolted by trying to kill my friend :wink: ).
But I've been showing up on Motorcycles for a while. It's totally cool.
Besides, it's on the way to Ragnarok.

There have been a couple of douchebags that have brought guns to scooter rallies. It's a little unnerving.
If you set up a fictional universe then you can argue that certain things are, or are not, logical and consistent within that universe. Of course the fact you might be able to show something is indeed logical and consistent in a fictional world says nothing about reality.

How big are your potatoes?

And wouldn't it be difficult (comical) to spray the Aqua-Net into the chamber at speed? Or are you talking fancy pneumatics? Propane? How long of a barrel? Front facing or rear facing? Or both?

How about muzzle loading it with a potato, then dumping in a can of Diced New Potatoes. It'd be like a shotgun blast!
