Circumstances have put me in a position that forces me to consider abandoning the Georgetown warehouse space that has been the nucleus of over six years of mayhem, creativity, and my own version of domestic bliss.
It's sheltered far flung Ootmiks, hosted transcontinental circus performers, puppet shows, square dances, death metal/experimental noise festivals, indoor fireworks, paintball, throwing weapons, and other ballistic festivities, lego races, wind-up sumo battle bots, and any number of dirty, sparky, noisy projects besides.
Many a newb has bloodied their first knuckles, changed their first oil, and enjoyed a first post ride beer here.
I've had too many amazing experiences here to count, and it makes me sad to see it on the cusp of transition.
That said, I'd throw this out there, as a hail mary to any PNW folks that might be looking for just such a ship to captain in my staid.
Even if the space isn't gutted and returned to the property owner to re-lease as he sees fit, my time here is ending. I'd love to hand the reins over to an enthusiastic new team or individual that will keep the grimy blood of Georgetown flowing.
We have three vacancies to fill by December 1, with myself taking the fourth spot until a new group is in place and settles on a new lease holder. Otherwise the big brooms come out, and we finally see what's in all those corners...
Conversely, a single soul could build a decent shop or storefront out of the space, depending on their ambitions.
Current terms put the total monthly expenses at about $2k, including basic utilities (except heat).
I'm happy to provide more details and pics, etc. to any interested parties.
(I feel rather like Han Solo, selling the Millenium Falcon, here, oof!)

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.

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.

Having been a guest at the Legendary Hanta House, I confess this makes me a bit sad. However, I will have fond memories of hanging out with the crew, the hospitality, the bikes, and the nuttiness that I was privileged enough to experience.

bwahahahaaa.... I had almost forgotten about that totally kooky portion of the trip. What a PITA! Still, I chalk that up as one of the best damn trips of my life.thrasherbill wrote:goose wrote:Having been a guest at the Legendary Hanta House, I confess this makes me a bit sad.
