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.

The Beer to end all Beers?

Post by DerGolgo » Thu Jul 22, 2010 5:38 pm

55% alcohol by volume.
$765 for a 12 ounce bottle.
Each bottle comes packaged in a genuine taxidermied forest critter.

Crazy Scotsmen...

Now, anyone who knows about these things knows that whisky is basically made by distilling a primitive sort of beer...so, I what would happen if someone were to "introduce" the yeast strain these guys use to a whisky distillery...it's in Scotland already, isn't it?

Seriously, a yeast bacterium that can survive up to 55% alcohol?
How would you disinfect something covered in that? What else could it survive?
The future holds some terrible yeast infections...


If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

That's just wrong. On the other hand that campground at Ragnaraok did get all pissy that we weren't using cozys for the beer.... I wonder if a few of these would have shut them the hell up? :lol:

On second thought, think of how someone would look drinking from one of those bottles? All I've heard about Scotsmen and sheep... maybe they're trying for an even stranger reputation?

Pretty hilarious, but a liquid that's 55% abv is not beer. And probably tastes worse than what you'd get out of those bottles before they were taxidermized.

On the other hand, part of me can't help but say: Bravo!

If it's anything like Triple Bock, I don't want any part of it.

That shit is nasty.

Hey, anybody know a taxidermist? No reason we couldn't have koozies made out of squirrels, rabbits, ferrets, prairie dogs, sewer rats, etc. Whatever vermin you have handy.

Fuck me they are horrible beer pretenders. I'm sure you don't like them, either.

True, but XXXX unfortunately is Australian. Although, being from Queensland, the logic and wisdom going into the brewing is highly questionable.

Shock value goes a long way to explaining the markup on this specialty product. It seems more like a dare than an indulgence.

Bit of a long read but some might enjoy reading about the success this man has had re-selling hand painted axe handles:
