PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE ANYTHING.
This measure is inconvenient, yes, but necessary at present.
Click below for more information.
EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
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.
Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!
Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.
Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.
Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent
Umah Thurman Midget Circus
Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.
A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

I Sat on a $6,400 Toilet and It Changed My Life
Sam Biddle —
Let's get one thing straight—Kohler's Numi toilet isn't for you. Unless you're a Saudi oil sheik, lottery winner, or generally filthy rich person,
you won't consider a toilet that costs half a year's rent. But it's spectacular.
The Numi sticks every conceivable luxury into one pisser. Things you didn't even think you needed—and things you definitely don't need—
a foot warmer, radio, auxiliary audio input, ambient lights. And all controlled by a touchscreen mini-tablet with a 20 foot range.
Why would you ever need to control your toilet from 20 feet away brings up a series of nightmare scenarios that are hard for me to
express right now, but good to know, just in case.
- Custom Bidet: User can control pressure, temperature and angle.
- Tankless Design: Read: No chains to jiggle!
- Motion Sensor Lid: After 90 seconds of no movement, the toilet will close.
- Seat Warmer: Why should your bottom suffer from a chilly toilet seat?
- Foot Warmer: A vent beneath the bowl blows hot air to warm your feet and the cold tile beneath them.
- Automatic Seat: For male users, a motion sensor is activated by foot and causes the seat to rise and then lower when you're away.
- LED lit back panel: Frosted glass is lit in an energy-efficient way.
- MP3 Hook-up: So you never have to be without your music.
- Remote Control: This touch-screen pad lets the user control all of these features from a wireless control. Should you want to activate the foot warmer in advance.
- A flat white surface designed for easy cleaning: Though we doubt anyone who spends over $6,400 on a toilet is planning to clean it themselves!
Pretty impressive, right? Wait, it gets better. This new toilet uses
he smallest amount of water. It flushes on two settings, 0.6 gallons
and 1.2 gallons. And yes, the Numi knows which one to use when.
The Numi knows everything.

That all sounds nice and all but for one thing I don't spend a lot of time on the shitter and anyone who does should get thier bowels checked.
Second, if a motion sensor closes it up after 90 seconds of no movement, isn't that kind of defeating the purpose of having something that apparently is designed to let you sit there until your intestines fall out your ass?
Wtf. Let those that want to pay 6400 bucks for a goddamned toilet have it. It's fucking stupid.
Sorry.

How many of the 'nice things' that prosperity can provide does a person really use that much? A house full of fine art, a cellar full of wine, a garage full of fine vehicles- how much of it can a person really 'use' every day, most likely several times a day? I would say a state-of-the-art crapper is a pretty shrewd way to spend indulgent money. I'd rather have a used car in the garage and an awesome terlet in the house than just a nice car in the garage.

+1, granted, it would be unthinkable to spend that kind of dough on a toilet right now, but if I had fuck you money it would easily make my list.
And for the record Sisyphus there's a chance you'll spend more time over the course of your life using the can than you'll spend on a motorcycle. Sad but true.

I probably would have scoffed at that thing, but then I went to Japan and experienced a couple of toilets that blew my mind. Heated luminescent seats, warm ass-showers, things you never even knew you wanted. It's like your first time with an older woman.

I'd absolutely get one of those if I was stupid rich! For having everything you could want, it's missing one of the most important things, a turret defense system to guard the bathroom from spiders:
