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.

Yeah, and ticket the goddamn riding against traffic spawning salmon motherfuckes.

Asshole motorists obstruct bike lane without good reason.
Slightly less asshole cyclists obstruct motor-vehicle lane without good reason.
The problem is that, unless you get traffic jams in the bike lanes, bike lanes won't get better. Yeah, the cop should go after motorists blocking bike lanes, and that really is a bit more important than keeping the bikers out of the motor vehicle lanes.
But on the other hand, unless the bike lane actually is obstructed, or otherwise unusable, I don't think cyclists should be in the motor vehicle lanes. With bike lanes on either sides, roads are seldom wide enough for long enough to allow safe overtaking in urban settings. Traffic jams, unsafe overtaking-manouvers against oncoming traffic, etc. ensue, and safety margins melt away. Slow vehicles that have the option of moving out of the way should and must do so, this includes bicycles.
Bicycle paths should really be bicycle freeways, where cyclists can zoom through cities without having to deal with metal death machines or pedestrian nuisance, likewise all public transit within cities should be grade separated to keep it out of traffic jams (and to keep those damn recessed rails out of the road), while the innermost cities should be car free on the surface, but that's just me dreaming. The best way to organize traffic while allowing people to chose how to move about is to have separate but equally far-reaching networks that function independently of one another, thus serving as true alternatives. Taking the tram or the bus only to be stuck in the same traffic jam as the cars and the bicycles (because the bike is blocked by someone stuck in a right-turn at a jammed intersection) is really annoying.

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Here, it's shared use and you get a lane on a bike. I'm fine with it until they need to overtake one another in the lane. Then they pop out into traffic (not once have I EVER SEEN A SIGNAL OR AN OVERSHOULDER CHECK) to pass each other. Fine if you're going my speed, elbows out if you're not.
Don't get me started about the self important-fixing the enviornment son-of-a-bitch that runs every light down the block then yells at the car that has to come to a screetchin halt not to hit his punk ass. "Asshole, you should get rid of your car and this wouldn't happen!" Makes me want to ride elbows out down the whole damn lane.
Then, I take a deep breath and remember all the times I've been classified as one of those motorcyclist that pisses everyone (even other mcers) off. All is well with the world and I am at peace with my two pedaled brethren.
