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.

Hi all!

It's been a minute since I've come in and posted nonsense. Hope all is well with every single Terrorist.

My side is great. The shop, which has consumed every minute of my life since day one, is doing well. I've hired on some killer cats, the studio itself continues to evolve, and outside of the trials of making sure the boat stays afloat and pointed in the right direction, I have no valid complaints. Some of yous probably follow the journey elsewhere on the Interwebs. I'm even getting to a place where I can start to pay back the debts I grew by opening this business.

I'm also branching out and partnering up with a music promotion company and that's going well too, bringing some damned big bands to Frederick (big depending on your tastes). Not really a revenue generation tool for me, but a great way to bring business in to my shop. I'll generally cross-promote shows here and in B'more, and have on-site tickets at the shop for people to grab if stuff sells out or in lieu of online sales. In return, our name goes on the production/sponsorship materials and such. Check this big sucker out for instance:

In addition, my guy Brandon will be filling in on guitar for CobraClutch at this show, and we'll be MC-ing parts of it. Great fun.

On a more relevant note, I'm also building a little DooM bike
:evil:

Take care guys!

I popped in to see you this morning while I was out bike shopping, not realizing that you didn't open the shop until noon. :(

Yessir. The guy who's doing the promo and booking is pretty good at what he does. The Sheer Terror came on, which doubled the rad.
