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.

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.

Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

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.

black powder shoot & ride
Is there any interest in an event that would combine motorcycling on a closed course with shooting a black powder (cap and ball) revolver at 5 stationary targets? I have in mind a piece of private property with a paved oval of slightly less than a quarter-mile, and am working out safety issues. But before I fill any sandbags, who else thinks this would be fun?

Sounds like a pretty high disaster potential, I'd totally be in if I lived closer.
But why just a cap and ball revolver?

One of the things that really breaks with plausibility in movies is when motorcyclists shoot while riding. How do you guys plan to do it: right or left handed, riding clockwise or counterclockwise, targets inside or outside the oval? How is the pistol carried when riding between targets? I think it sounds like fun but I'm not sure where it's going to be safe to stand...

Out of curiosity I may have attempted this, firing left handed at targets left, right and forward. Easier to deal with recoil than some people seem to think, harder to be remotely accurate than I had guessed. Worth fiddling with with a paintball gun if nothing else. Might be fun to have a little competition with one of those little eight round paintball pistols.Pattio wrote:One of the things that really breaks with plausibility in movies is when motorcyclists shoot while riding.

There are reasons I suggest black powder revolvers, and one is that in Maryland, they are not considered firearms and are easier to legally transport.
Single-action seems like it may be safer, relatively speaking, and I thought it would be best to have the 5 targets on the left, evenly spaced over @80 meters, riding clockwise around the oval.
A holster would be affixed to the left handlebar. Revolver is drawn forward of a designated line ahead of the firing line and re-holstered after the 5 targets and before the curve, so shooter/rider is not sweeping spectators who are behind firing line in safe area once they come back around.
One loaded revolver at a time, loaded in designated loading area adjacent to firing line immediately before beginning course of fire.
Nice video of the French police, by the way, and I hadn't seen that before. I thought that a sidearm would have to be in the left hand to be used with any degree of effectiveness from a motorcycle so that the throttle can be held. Cap and ball revolvers, although well balanced, are iffily accurate and the idea I had for this event was more inspired by the Japanese horseback-archery. The idea right now is that the score would be based on accuracy, rather than time.
