It's midnight here and from where I stand i can see snow through the window and live coverage on french TV, a biker got up at 3 am in the morning, rode his bike over 700km and is doing some bicycle to relax in the sunshine, live on TV...I used to stay up late at night to see the guys riding 200kph through the african deserts after a long day of driving in the snow, live coverage of the dakar and H&M bikini adverts in town used to keep me going day after day. I'm a little dissapointed by the new 450cc rule, I thought the dakar was alla bout going full throttle frenzy since the 1000 BMW made all the other single eat their dust, but .. ok....
nice medecine for my early PMS.

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.

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.

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.

Tonight at midnight on "VS" (former OLN I think) 30 minute highlight reel, hope they do it better this time. Last years coverage was terrible, weekly recaps with host that better suited to cover gymnastics or curling (no offense Rolly) Phil and Bob would have done a better job at it!
I miss Africa, probably because they had better TV coverage then, I understand that a year off and cancellation probably hurt the event and was the main reason for TV coverage decline.
*EDIT*
Just watched the 30 minute segment they aired, better than last year but still lacking. Tomorrow Day2 will air at 1AM

thanks. despite the inevitable "dakar is for rich kids who spoileid the mother earth" discussions, I'd say it's been a fairly ggod year. lots of action, no drama, and sainz did no end up on its roof at stage 2; Lots of winter tv good sunny adventurous images, what i'd wait from a dakar.
I'm not really from around here.

I watched them last weekend and really enjoyed it. I still thought the coverage sucked though. A 1.5 hour recap show of the whole damn thing probably would have been more compelling and had more unique footage than the 30/day format. So much time gets wasted trying to remind you of who everybody is and how the race has gone so far . . .
Watching that made me very excited about summer.
