EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
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.

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.

Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent

Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.

So, anyone in the Philippines?

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.

Could you please stop into one of those "customer care" call centers and give someone a dope slap for me?

Keep your head on a swivel bro. Are you going to have a security person with you?

I've spent some time there, in Manilla, on Mindanao (Davao City) and on Cebu.

Conversation when I got off the plane in Manilla:

"Hello Sir, first time in Manilla?"

"Yes"

"Will you be staying in Manilla?"

"Manilla City, yes, then on to Mindanao and Cebu."

"Mindanao? oh, you don't want to go there sir. Bad place. Where on Mindanao?"

"Davao"

"Oh...(really long gulping pause) Sir, you don't want to go to Davao. Very, very bad. You bodyguard?"

"No"

Hands me back my passport and looks at me like I'm a corpse.

"Sir, be careful. I hope you enjoy your stay"

And that was 12 years ago when Mindanao wasn't under constant threat from Islamic militia groups like it is now. It's the wild west with M4s and AKs.

On the other hand, given the chance to drive there, you should. Its insane, especially around Manilla International. For a laugh, ask your driver to explain the traffic concept of "counter flow".

Be careful sir.
