First fix:
  • 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.


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!

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.

My feet hurt if I just shuffle around the house all day in slippers.

Every time I see someone running as I drive down the road, I notice that none of them have a pleasant expression on their faces.

People don't have very pleasant expressions during orgasm, either. Or while playing the drums. Actually, drum faces are pretty funny. But running, running is a cheap high.
And toeshoes are eugghhh.

Toe shoes ARE euuughhh, but I am very curious to try them.
I haven't really gone running since I tossed myself down the road those three odd years ago. Mainly coz it hurts.

Maybe once my hip heals from tossing myself down the trail after christmas, I will give it another shot.

That, of course, is dependent on not hurting myself in anymore motorcycle crashes, which is of dubious prospect.

One of us posted about those 5-finger shoes a while back. Was it Rock? Someone else?

I've been interested in the whole barefoot thing after reading B2R, but I need some answers b4 I spring the $100 for what many be crap.

So, Rock, or whoever, how are you Veb's treating you?
Good 4 road running or just trails / soft earth?
Did you see a time drop after you got use to them?

I heart my weird toe shoes.

Not for everyone, but proven to actually be very good for lower back alignment, and at least slightly creepy.

It's the "smelly guitar" look, as if they'd rubbed down their guit with some stank ass cheese or skunk juice or old carb varnish.

Works well with the "pee pee dance".
