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.

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.

Saturday the 20th? Cool. Do something we must. :)

barring any acts of dog, transportation should be no problem.

Sunny, prepare yourself for a most excellent adventure with the Middle-East UTMC, I miss those bastards and bastets! :(

On a side note, I never knew there was an actual berry named the Marion berry until I arrived here in the PNW. When I saw "marion berry pie" and "marion berry muffins", I asked if they were so tasty it was like they were filled with cocaine. People here had no idea what i was referring to, had to 'splain it.

As it turns out, yeah, they are damn tasty.

All right, since the snow completely, and utterly fucked my plans for this weekend, I've had to change them to next weekend, so I won't be around for this.

so, what would you want to do ? good food ? dive bar ?

in (what i would consider to be) reasonable walking distance includes from the trendy hipster joints at dupont circle to chinatown (which is now reduced to little more than a block), so there is a huge range of choices.

tapas ?
mezze ?

the subway opens up a larger range, and i have no qualms about driving anywhere in the city, so your options are wide open.

too many neighbourhood joints to list.

i like the comfort food at Cafe Deluxe.
i've never been dissapointed at Open City, either.
Both are easily Metro-accessable.

the scooter set frequently meets at the Pug (no link that I know of) as well as Duffy's .

or the last of the old fashioned biker bars, Daniel's (but thats a bit of a hike...more a Baltimore scene than DC).

because i am rather at y'alls mercy, you all decide.

only one caveat: i have it on good authority that there is no tex-mex food in DC, no matter what they advertize.

however, a good burger place that serves beer would be jangleplatz!

jaeger has my cell phone number and can disseminate it amongst the brethren as wanted/needed.
my home internet is still down. but i'm not bitching because lots of folks still don't have electricity.

(i am currently at school trying to get the homework assignments and resources downloaded)
