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.

Dad had the motorcycle growing up...
Grandpa had the airplane.
I spent every Sunday in the air for years.
Right out of high school, I almost joined the marines just to fly the harrier. Great plane.
I miss flying.
When i finish school and start making "real" money, i plan on getting my pilots licence.

When I was little, and the family was on vacation in Scotland, we drove along a road on one side of a valley when there was some sort of military convoy on the other side of the valley. Maneuvers or some such. And there were two jump jets lounging about. Off in the distance, one was just hovering over a hill-top. We were all looking at that when another one came out of nowhere and did that (only slightly more altitude) over the road. Actually "filled the sky" as they say. The noise was something fucking else.SomeMook wrote:<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WRfDsSnLtE4&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WRfDsSnLtE4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I was riding over White pass on hwy 12 when I heard an odd noise, hmmm nope, not the bike must be something coming up behind me, nope, nothing in the mirrors, what the fu...Holy Shit Mother Of God!!!! An EA6 buzzed through the pass at no more than a couple hundred feet. Scared the bejesus out of me. I've worked a number of tower sites up in the cascades and it's not unusual to see them running through the passes. Cool stuff.

When I was young I spent summers with my grandparents outside the city and there was a military base near by, you can guess where this is going, but only difference it that in Communist Russia (early 80's) they had no sonic flight restrictions or at least they weren't enforced. Over the ten years I summered there at least once a sonic boom took out a bunch of windows when a fighter plane passed overhead, many more were heard over the years in a distance...

Growing up in West Texas we have a "relationship" with the USAF. There is a radar bombing range about 10 miles outside of my hometown. Some days the B-52 pilots would come in at about 100 feet over the interstate. Now that was enough to "suck the paint off your house and give your family a permanent orange afro".

My family has property on Lake Chelan, which is basically a big canyon. Every now and then pilots buzz the lake. One time an A6 (presumably out of Whidbey) flew by our property may 50 feet over the lake. It was amazing.

I was quoting Spies Like Us but I guess the Strangelove one is more appropriate. It was always rumored you could go out there in the fields and find fried critters from the radar waves.DerGolgo wrote:"Fry the chickens in the barnyard", wasn't it?bndgkmf wrote:Growing up in West Texas we have a "relationship" with the USAF.

The last time I went to Nellis there were a couple of F-22s maneuvering over the place as I drove in. The speed didn't kill me so much as the maneuverability. They were flitting around like leaves in the wind, flipping end over end faster than it takes to say it.
They're not kidding with those things.
