EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
Show
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.

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.

review at work...

Post by Rench » Fri Nov 11, 2005 3:57 pm



Every month I get the distinct pleasure of being bent over a desk in a small corner office with no windows and having my 5 worst calls of the month forcefully crammed up my arse by a bitter 30-something who let herself go and hates all men for it until I puke out an Area of Stength (AOS) and Area of Improvement (AOI) to work on until the next month's violation.

I was commiserating over email with a buddy over this issue, and he responded with a pre-filled out email for me to give to my boss. Thought you'd enjoy...

"AOS: Putting up with your shit, and, let's be honest, there's a lot of it. A person of less character and integrity would go Pre-Cambrian on the Lane-Bryan-Burlington-Coat-Factory-discount-rack-wearing lot of you motherfuckers, would put shaved-glass laxatives in your egg-nog-and-despair mochaccinos, and wire your genitals with spark plugs for every time you button-down whores embrace a new business buzzword. But I don't do that. I shovel your horseshit with such fervor and gluttony that, were there an academy award for "Best Drone in a Supporting Role to the Throne of Pure Soullessness" I would be a shoo-in, and all I could do to cap off the perfect night I would have accepting the award is pay a homeless diabetic to piss on your mass-graves, you Hitler Youth taint-shaving fucks. Though to be fair, getting that close to a level of unabstracted perverse evil like yours would likely mangle their poor transient soul, leaving them begging me to put an end to the suffering, and, as much as I like my job, I'm not really up to strangling a hobo right now. Kill yourself. Kill yourself now.

AOI: I hate you."

That was fuggin' funny!

Make sure you put this down: "Give my Supervisor the good schtupping she desperately needs and deserves, in order to promote the synergies needed to improve department efficiency." as Action Item #1 on your next AOI. Then hire a lawyer. Hey-your job won't be boring anymore... :mrgreen:
