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!
2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
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.
REGISTRATION! NEW USERS!
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.

Not sure if it's a Unimog, but I want one.
Actually, I want
this one. It's just awesome.

Much as I'm not a fan of big SUV's, this is a pretty cool version:
Trailer has full and comfortable living quarters and it's hard to see but there's a BMW GS hanging off the back...

Sure looks like a Unimog to me. If not it's still sweet as hell. Personally though I'm more of a van man, so I've always wanted one of these:

It's a Unimog from Mercedes.

Been in the Engineer inventory from
at least the late 80's/early 90's.
Fun little toy that bounces the shit out of you when driving. It's a
standard trans on crack. In another life I had a license for one
of these little things. Also known as the SEE:
Small Emplacement Excavator.

The one I posted at top is parked up at Bear Mountain NY in the maintenance yard.
I just love the thing, I want it.

I doubt that the french would use a merc cabin. Could it be older Unic's ? Maybe they had the licence to build german trucks as a war compensation but probably not after the late 50's.

Since today is a beautiful day, and I love riding motorcycles, I'll go take a better look.
Yesterday when I saw the thing we were under a tornado warning, so I didn't stick around long.

the biggest challenge on this one is to have 4 windows from the inside but none from the outside.

The roof and half the walls slide down for driving and up for using the interior.
The windows aren't visible in the top image because the roof and sides were down.
In the lower images, the roof is up.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?
I said I have a big stick.

I'll take one of each please. Not the French ones though. There's a guy a couple blocks from me at work who has one in the parking lot. Looks like a daily driver. I'll see if I can get a pic.
