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!

2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
Click if you have a problem.
Show

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.

Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!

Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.

Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.

Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent

Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.

I'd consider giving up a bike for one of these.

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.

No way. I used to live near a commuter airport in Florida, there were always emergency vehicles responding to crashes out there. Shit on those little planes, I'll keep my feet on the ground thank you very much.

I see a machine that, probably, isn't such a great car or a great plane, either. Unless you'd use it to actually travel to all sorts of different places, keeping a proper road vehicle in your hangar spaces at either end would probably be the better idea.

Might be useful for the Royal Flying Doctors Service or similar outfits.

:lol: :lol:

Truly, what an amazing age we live in that such an enterprise might be credibly attempted.

I foresee a problem for deliveries in bad weather but also a great opportunity. Those poor ghetto dwellers don't have deserted highways and their traffic signs to practice aiming on. With these things flying around, they'll finally have the opportunity to pick up some proper training with moving tagets for the zombie apocalypse.

I like this one better.

Looks like it would drive, and fly better.

And, it has a wheel count closer to the proper number.

Ya know, I have one of those little remote-controlled helicopters, I wonder if they would carry the weight of a taco? Only for room to room in-home deliveries, of course.

My co-worker has a pretty cool drone that he controls with his smartphone, he's a noob at flying it but it's still plenty cool.
