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.

I myself am a pretty cautious person and would not wreck a Lamborghini in the first hour of my ownership nor the second, but, especially on sport tires in winter temps, I can't say I might not slide quite expensively into a field in the sixth.

Bah, it was an '08 model anyway. Probably lost 40% of its value when it left the dealer's lot.

Yeah, that's a pretty tough "win" for a car that would be difficult to unload in this market and under his circumstances. Frankly, I'm surprised they let him have the car without paying the taxes first.
I didn't know anything about his attempt to sell it to Leno. That's going to make for some tough sailing with the insurance company. The valuation of the car seems (well, is) excessive.
Sucks when you can't even afford to be given a Lamborghini. I guess the old saying is true:
"The wanting is often better than the having"

I never drove a Lambo, but I drove trucks for a few years and I think that they are two very different things.Keep in mind that he is a professional driver.
OR, if he was a professionnal speed racer trying to wreck it, he wouldn't just scratch the passenger door. I mean, I never drove a Lambo, but I have a pretty good idea of what to do to wreck one and it does not include driving as slow as 50mph.
I'm not really from around here.

Oh, and ABS/AWD/Traction control or no - they are easy to wreck in low traction conditions, especially if you've never driven anything like it before. 631hp is a handful, maybe add in summer tires in cold weather and you've got the worlds' most expensive hockey puck.
