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.

Two stroke, day one:

Imaginary Canadian Girlfriend randomly surprised me with a visit from Imaginary Canada. She wanted to test out her new bike. Her new bike is a KDX200 two smoker. She found the power band at an inopportune moment, and stacked it into a pile of rocks. Fortunately, ATGATT. We went riding the next day; she has more bruises now.

Ouch. Nice to hear she's okay and back riding. Not so nice to hear she collected more bruises. Was that par for the course for your brand of two-smoking or another get-off?
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

The initial bruises were more a symptom of the crappy riding area. The closest place to my house that one can really ride a dirtbike is this area called Prairie City. Great place to motocross, and has one of my favorite supermoto tracks (when it's open to us) but other than that, it's rocky, low traction, and boring. She poked it into the power band right as she was coming up out of a ditch, and went airborne... sideways... into a pile of rocks.

Day two bruises were from an accidental jerk of the throttle in a downhill switchback (at a vastly better riding area), after which she managed to find the one big rock in an otherwise soft and fluffy pile of plant matter on the side of the trail.

Mostly she is just a hard charger, who insisted that she wanted a two stroke for her first bike. Now she is learning two stroke. Until you get used to them, two stroke dirtbikes have a habit of sneaking up on you and doing funny things like going WAY faster than you need, want, or expect at any given moment. Combine that with the hard charger part, and you have a recipe for many bumps and bruises.

It wasn't two days before she was back at the gym, trying to do squats with one gimpy leg...

Ah yes, I taught my teenage son how to ride on a two stroke, and he had a couple of those powerband moments. Good times.

Glad to hear that she got back on. More power to her. My YZ became more predictable after I threw on a heavier flywheel. Never had any of my KDXes sneak up on me...pretty mellow compared to others.

I hope she's not "trying" to impress anybody. Any chick who laser-guns sharkbears in outer space is already rad. :P

Two strokes are fun. Hope she heals up quick.

Probably, but you'd have to move to Toronto.

Yeah, it's mellower than others, but has a supercross pipe on it and could probably use some tuning, both of which negate some of the mellowness.

My CR also became more predictable with a heavy flywheel weight. Thank god, because there's no way I could ride the thing in the woods otherwise.

My DT250 had an imaginary powerband....

Maybe it was just all powerband? One day I'll ride a properly scary two-stroke.
