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.

My uncle once told me a story about a friend nicknamed "Hooks". He got the nickname when he was a kid growing up in Louisiana. He and some friends were noodling for Catfish and he got this idea of putting a bunch of fish hooks through some leather gloves so that anything he got his hands around would get snagged.
He saw a catfish under a log and had a friend poke a stick from the other side as he reached down to grab it. The fish was much bigger than he expected and it took off swimming. He couldn't let go and got dragged to the bottom for a frighteningly long time before he got free. He didn't try it again, but the nickname stuck.
It amazes me how big those fish can get. The catfish around here don't get much bigger than a rat.

There are medieval legends of our local Wels Catfish eating people in Germany. Suckers got big enough to drag people down easy.Rabbit_Fighter wrote:My uncle once told me a story about a friend nicknamed "Hooks". He got the nickname when he was a kid growing up in Louisiana.

There's a reservoir in Spain where, thirty odd years ago, a well-meaning scientist let loose some Wels catfish.
No natural predators. Optimal water temperature and plenty of food.
People catching 'em have to drill big old steel hooks into the ground to tie their lines to. Fucker's have grown to 200 pounds, and are still getting bigger with each generation.
Of course, the giant Mekong catfish can grow to 650 pounds...
