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.

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.

...vegetables. My first attempt. Ever. Put stuff in the ground and it grows food at some point. Amazing concept.

Oooh, that brings back memories.
My grandma's family's old house had a conservatory. We only went there on holiday, so couldn't constantly take care of the vegetables (grandma's sister started growing a victory garden during the war and it sorta kept going in some form or another the next 60 years).
The solution plonking a few bags of potting soil on the ground next to the stone wall of the conservatory, slicing open the top, stuffing a few seeds in there and fixing something for the plants to climb up to the wall. Find someone to come by every now and then to water 'em and they took care of everything else themselves. Every summer, there they'd be, fist-sized fresh tomatoes, fresh off the vine, most delicious I ever did taste.

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Spuds, leeks, peas, carrots, squash, etc. Next week the rhubarb & red currants start slowly transforming into wine. August will be chokecherries.
Gotta love real food.

Now that I ponder, life is kinda pastoral here.

Funny, we decided to do the same thing this summer. Tomatoes, corn and watermelon, aside from our fruit trees: avocado, pomegranate, brown fig, saturn peach, lemon and persimmon.
We also had a mystery plant growing by one of our avocado trees. We generally just toss our fruit & veggie scraps in the yard, sorta a compost thing, also to see what surprizes we get. We could never figure out what it was till my wife got it--pumpkin! It's the size of a soccer ball already.
