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.

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.

Great stuff.
The idea of an affordable helmet HUD might not be too far fetched.
Couple this screen with scooterputer for example, with some modifications this might be doable.

Sorry, I'm 100% convinced that "multitasking" is another way of saying "not really paying attention to what the fuck you're doing." I can appreciate having gauges in the HUD, but I'm very concerned that this will become "oh, I can project the display of my iPhone on with windshield of my SUV while I drive! This is soooo cool!"
*splat*
"Oh, sorry, didn't see you Mr. Motorcycle, I was sexting my girlfriend."
The tech is cool, but the moment I see
... you get my point."multitask in the future. Just think, you will be able to write out your text messages, right across your windshield"

Yeah, it's cool skiffy and all, but what does it do for you? The Scootputer mentioned above for example, none of the information it presents is needed or useful at all times, most of it isn't ever. Putting it literally in your face is going to demand a portion of your attention that's better placed elsewhere.
And that shit is meaningless, the numbers. Unless there's a cop tailing, your speedometer isn't useful. It tells you nothing about the experience of riding.

Me too. 100%. People do not need any more multitasking options than they already have. I still think the cage manufacturers should go back to building big, heavy, non crumple zone and air bag having, metal dashboard and non collapsable steering column equipped tanks ala 1950. People feel too damn safe in cars these days. Let's go back to the good old days of "pay attention or suffer consequences".rolly wrote:I'm with the Jaeg.

Also, I'm 6'6" and can't see my tachometer, or any of my gauges for that matter, in any situation where they are ever actually useful.
I'm really keen on the idea of HUD helmets, and would already own some of those HUD snowboarding goggles if I felt like blowing that much cash on that kind of gizmo.
Alas, I don't, so I will wait until they are cheap.
But I digress...
Yes, the idea of HUD gauges in my helmet? Swoon!
I just had to point out the very obvious downside to this technology that you KNOW is going to eventually come about.

This is what I'm talking about! I hate having to actually look down in traffic and I'm so tall it's not just a glance with the eyes but a full head movement. As for the experience of riding, I don't feel it takes anything big away for me while making the kind of everyday commuting rides safer and more convenient.WeAintFoundShit wrote:Also, I'm 6'6" and can't see my tachometer, or any of my gauges for that matter, in any situation where they are ever actually useful.
I'd like to have speed, rpm, trip, maybe gear indicator and some kind of blinky for leaving the turn signal on. I don't know anyone in all the combined years of riding we have that doesn't sometimes forget to switch it off and then feel like an idiot after
Put it all on some helmet integrated transparent OLED and it's a huge win.As for fucktards doing fucktard shit with technology? Newsflash, you're too late and they already have cars featuring full video display with computer suite in the fucking dash, where have you been?
