Hey Kids!
November is rapidly approaching, and that means it's time for everyone's favorite deified duo to star in another novel.
I'm doing something a bit different this year. I've been wanting to write a picaresque* novel, and I think this year would be as good as any. So, prepare for Holy Rollers - Rogues Gallery. More details to come.
If you liked the other Holy Rollers, you'll probably like this one too. Bookmark this site: http://holyrollersrogues.blogspot.com/
I'm going to try and get an RSS feed set up as well, for those of you who are into such things.
In order, here are the other Holy Rollers novels:
http://holyrollersnovel.blogspot.com/ (be nice, this was my first attempt)
http://holyrollers-apotheosis.blogspot.com/
http://holyrollers-charlatan.blogspot.com/
http://holyrollers-immortals.blogspot.com/ (my favorite, thus far)
*think Huck Finn, or Fear and Loathing - a series of adventurous episodes loosely tied together by some theme (the river, for example). The main character is a rogue with no apparent direction, surviving by his wits.

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.

Rock on. I have enjoyed the hell out of every one of your stories!!
Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I spent valuable work time reading the rest of the stories.smashinator wrote:Thanks, gents.
So, the RSS Feed is up and going, if you're into such things. I recommend subscribing so you don't miss a single juicy chapter.
Also, less than 3 days to November 1.
...I'd better figure out what the hell I'm going to write about.
Great stuff man, looking forward to the new one.Proud Survivor From Thread Hole 64 Campaign

The 114 degree ride is half the point; call it eustress. And since when are we supposed to be reasonable about motorcycles or coffee? What's wrong with you? [sound of Zer0 thwacking Smash upside his head--Smash thanks Zer0]smashinator wrote:Zer0 - Thanks. You should definitely ride out again, maybe this time when it isn't 114 outside. It makes getting coffee a little more reasonable.

And, for the fifth year in a row, I kicked Nanowrimo's ass. Final word count, 50,019.
Time to go get some Miller High Life to celebrate.
So if you've been waiting, well, now would be a good time to start reading.

I can't even do that, plus, I stare at thhe monitor enough as it is, so I go through the tedious task of copying and pasting on word and printing it out. So now I have something to read whenever I take a ride to lunch wherever.
