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.

Lucid Dreaming

Post by Rabbit_Fighter » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:14 pm

If you have a lucid dream, wake up and tell your friends about it, then wake up again, because the part where you were telling your friends about it was actually still in a dream. . . . were you having a lucid dream in the first place?

I had an awesome dream a couple mornings back where I realized I was dreaming and decided to have fun with it. I did the obvious: "I can fly!" which was fucking awesome. Then I decided it would be fun to ride a superbike up Windy Ridge. Unfortunately, whenever I leaned the bike over, it felt like I was leaning all the way through the ground. In my dream I got mad and thought "this isn't realistic feeling!"

Still, it was fun. I woke up and decided to post about it on the UTMC board . . . . but then I woke up again and I was still in bed.

Did I have a lucid dream, or did I dream about having a lucid dream?

My brain is stupid. Even when I realize I'm dreaming and try to control stuff, there's still the part of me that says "No, that wouldn't happen" and shuts it all down. :(

Coolest dream I ever had was a lucid dream.
SHort synopsis:

Oh shit, bad guys are after me!
Oh no, I'm trapped in this house by bad guys!
Awesome, I have managed to bust out of the house, but now the bad guys are chasing me!
Oh no, I'm running away, but can't seem to get anywhere!!!

Waaaaaiiiiit a second, this is one of those dreams where I'm running, but can't seem to get anywhere. I am just having a dream.

WELL SCREW THAT, THEN, I'M GONNA GO KICK SOME ASS!!!!!
Wait, why am I running back to kick some ass, WHEN I CAN FLY BACK TO KICK SOME ASS!?!?
I'M GONNA FLY BACK THERE, AND KICK SOME MOTHERFUCKING ASS!!!!

...I woke up right as I was about to fly through the front door of the house where the bad guys were. I'm pretty sure I got too excited about going and having an epic kung fu battle with some bad guys, and the adrenaline brought me out of sleep. Too bad, too, coz it woulda been jangleplatz!

What is particularly disturbing is having a lucid dream (or any particularly vivid dream,but lucid are the worst) in which I lose a limb, then wake up with my leg or arm asleep. It smears the line between wake and sleep then you're just al fockered up for half the morning.

Use the "old embed code" check box from the share options on youtube. Also, the video may not show up when you preview your post, they don't show up for me until I make the actual post.
