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.

Most of you know what pays my bills, but to protect the innocent, I've gerericized terms a bit...
To start with, I've got 2 supervisors, and one manager who oversees those two supervisors and their teams.
Last night, a big project was suddenly due. Generally speaking we all pulled it off great, but after it was done and pulled off greatly, my supervisors both said that something I did made other team members' task harder. I explained that I did exactly what I've always been trained to do, and they hemmed and hawed and wanted to know who taught me that way and so on. This unfortunately happens a lot, as hindsight is always 20/20.
So after we finished cleaning up from the project, I bump into my manager, and I ask him, explaining upfront that I'm not trying to buck anybody, but this is how I was trained to do it, and I get it that it makes the other team work a little harder, but I was told the benefit outweighs a little sweat-equity.
My boss, who i love, responded "that's exactly how it should be done. Unless your [supervisor] wants it done another way. Did you ask [the other team] if they shave their vaginas with up-strokes or down-strokes?"
He managed to back me up, not micro-manage the supervisors, and drop a signature one-liner in 2 sentences. I've had the giggles ever since. Thought I'd share.

Well, if we're just going to rat me out...
I charged the deuce on a skid load operation while the truck co was still stretching it up the stairs. I can't even say "whoops," we have a gated wye between the deuce and the skid. That's why it's there. I damn well meant to. Got a ration of shit from the truck officer about how tough it is to drag a charged 2.5. BC mocked that.

Elitist, arrogant, intolerant, self-absorbed.

I had to google to begin to understand that thread.
I'm not really from around here.

That's why I cut it back a little in the generic version.
And fuck a clamp, I've advanced charged 2.5 up 6 flights before. Don't get me wrong, it SUCKED, and I was so tired at the top I was near-worthless, but one flight? I think truckies just can't handle hose.
See, now you've got me on a work rant, and I try to keep that off of here. Critique is tomorrow. Should be fun.
