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.

Hmm, not sure what to call it

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.

It's another variation of the old "bikers are bad" theme.
If you are going to sit in the middle of them for the duration of the movie, you've gotta be a tough cookie, hence you get a reward.
Or you're sufficiently tolerant/sane to realize that most bikers are really everyday guys who want to see a movie in peace like the next guy and a group of them should be no more threatening than a gang of football fans, and you get a reward for your sanity.

Or it's a scamdinavian thing which I'm not getting.
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.

It's actually a Belgian thing, that movie theater is a couple of blocks from here.

That Danish beer has an image of old ladies beer, I used to drink them in trendy up town cafes when I was young. I guess the selling are dropping and they try to change their image from classy old lady to young and adventurous.

So they made a viral video.

Now they are serving them without glass and you have to drink it from the bottle because it's so much cooler that way. They changed the communication without changing the product to appeal to a younger audience, there stands the analogy with H-D bikers I guess :)

Its not going to convince me to drink their shitty beer, but its a an interesting social experiment about stereotypes and prejudices.

That's funny Xtian, over here Carsberg ran a campaign that was basically the opposite. "Welcome to your Carlsberg years" You are now old and boring, Carlsberg is the beer for you.

strange :)

and to fully understand the people's reaction, you should know that even if it's very close to my home (a 12 minutes walk), I stopped going to that cinema because of its population. And I'm not talking about bikers.
