PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE ANYTHING.
This measure is inconvenient, yes, but necessary at present.
Click below for more information.
EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
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.
Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!
Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.
Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.
Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent
Umah Thurman Midget Circus
Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.
A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

I cannot even begin to enumerate the ways in which this is fucked-up as a football-bat:
http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts ... source=rss
The U.S. Supreme Court, sharply divided along its usual conservative-liberal lines, on Wednesday banned the broadcast of the Proposition 8 trial now unfolding in the federal courthouse here, putting a swift end to Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker's planned experiment to post the proceedings on his court's Web site through YouTube.
Death-squads in third-world countries hide their faces. The KKK hides their faces. THis is complete and utter bullshit. I'm angry. ...give me a few minutes and ask me again and I'll tell you how I *really* feel.

What are they afraid of?
Elitist, arrogant, intolerant, self-absorbed.

Prop. 8 backers had challenged Walker's order allowing cameras in his courtroom, arguing a number of their witnesses feared they'd be exposed to harassment and intimidation if their testimony were broadcast on the Internet.
This could be read as, "Prop. 8 backers had challenged Walker's order allowing cameras in his courtroom, arguing a number of their witnesses feared they'd be exposed if their testimony were broadcast on the Internet."
Yeah, they want to make sure everyone has to follow their set of ideals, but they don't want to stand up and identify themselves. There's big fight here in Maine about who funded the lastest campaign to stop same-sex marriage. Backers didn't want to be identified.

I'm gonna broadly generalize here and ask why it is that religious nuts blow up abortion clinics, but you never hear of a secular nut blowing up say, the morman temple?
To me the answer is obvious, but is clearly not set in stone, and while I feel the people in question are cowardly, I don't feel their fears are unfounded.

What scares you about acknowledging the right of homosexuals to enter into a relationship and have it recognized by the state as a "marriage"?

He's afraid to come out of the closet... some homo might force him, by gun point, to get married. This, of course, is equally as scary as some chick forcing him into marriage.

I may have read the article wrong, but would this be the first time a California State Supreme Court hearing would be televised?
And did the United States Supreme Court forbid them from airing it?

I suspect what roadmissle meant was that he thinks the witnesses are right to be afraid they'd be harassed, not that the witnesses are correct about gay marriage.

I'm relieved someone got it.
If I were going to approach it from the perspective of some of the folks in question I might replace 'harassed' with 'stabbed in the face by some queeny hairdresser', but otherwise that's perfect.
I certainly don't agree with banning gay marriage, personally I feel people should have the right to lose half their stuff regardless of sexual orientation.

Actually, several persons who donated money to the prop 8 campaigns have received threats on their person and businesses for making said contributions and frankly our judicial system has never been much for media coverage. Think about it, ever hear of a camera present in chambers or jury deliberations? Logically, that should be fine too. The chilling effect would be disasterous.
