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.

Hyperbole bushido/mindless self sacrifice/confucian patriarchy ego bullshit as portrayed in this cute cartoon is one of my major dislikes about Japan. It seems pretty harmless when its vegetables sacrificing themselves physically or pushing each other in (while apologizing), for the good of the greater curry pot. This dynamic is present in most Japanese media whether it is cutesy anime or "non-fiction" dramas.
As a foreigner, it ruined a lot of otherwise interesting things for me and made it hard to engage fully with a lot of people.
This sort of societal obligation stuff is present everywhere, be it the stereotypical salaryman putting in ridiculous amounts of overtime while bowing and scraping the whole way, the full time housewife/mother/daughter expected to unquestioningly accommodate everyone else, school children forced to commit to being institutionally pegged to a sport, lofty academic goal, etc. from an early age. From a distance all of these quirky Japanese societal things seem quaint but in reality, the figurative example of skinning yourself because it is an unexplained expectation of you insidiously awaits most Japanese in many very literal ways.
Fortunately, this isn't the norm for many people but more often than not these people are portrayed as low class, unsophisticated, uneducated or otherwise uncultured. Maybe as a consequent of their substandard ethics, these people usually seem the most happy and laid-back I ran into. These were certainly the people I had the best time with and count as my friends in Japan.
I could go on but it is probably best to save the rest of this rant for another time.
I know Jonny has his own take on this topic....

Could this cartoon be satire, aimed at just that? Is there any room for social criticism in Japanese art, or should this be taken at face value?UndertheGun wrote:Hyperbole bushido/mindless self sacrifice/confucian patriarchy ego bullshit as portrayed in this cute cartoon is one of my major dislikes about Japan.

If it is satire it doesn't contain much in the way of critique. I imagine the creators of this cartoon meant this protrayal to be humorous but beyond that do you get much else?Toonce wrote:Could this cartoon be satire, aimed at just that?

There certainly is amazing Japanese art and literature that is extremely critical of such fucked up societal norms but I haven't noticed it in anything as mainstream/commercial as this.
