EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!

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.

I don't think anyone on the creative team is a rider, but pretty cool nonetheless.

I'm thinking about converting the Uly to left had throttle so I can samurai the next Escalade that tries to run me off the road.

Some kind of a mouth/bite-actuated throttle control would make both hands available to operate a bullpup....

Those must be awesome tires. Last time I ran through a bunch of plants it was pretty greasy.
Commendable, inclucing the pulse-jet action of the little thingabmabobs. I thought about that today while out on the RD.

It's the future, I'm sure they figure out some sort of alternate throttle arrangement/cruise control. Of course, a tiny voice in my head was shouting "that is not what an MT01 sounds like!"

But, as Keiron Gillen said "The worst people in the entire world are pedents"

I think the rocket things were based off of a type of modern day warhead that has directional control on its way to the target. I think I saw a video that showed something very similar in operation, with 4 little rockets popping off in 4 different directions to keep it in control.

If that were a pulse-jet, it would be noisy as hell and not very controllable.

My voice shouted that, but outside of my head.

The thingamabob's flight pulses reminded me of the drones in Battle: Los Angeles.

I enjoyed that, but also soon felt the familiar uncanny rails of a game.

Not a game, but running on game hardware, to show the work of a company with a particular interest in the conveyance of emotion in the gaming experience.

The rider is displaying a severe lack of safety and a flagrant disregard for law enforcement by not wearing eye protection.
