2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
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.

Re: ahhh, hope!
Of all arguments directed at the homophobes as to why gay marriage should be introduced, this must be the single most effective. Of course, it's useless unless the gay dudes start threatening to marry all the straight girls.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Re: ahhh, hope!
Truly, the chaps in the last video, they have a bit of a point. These days, when marriage is socially optional, unlike it was in the past, marrying away all the women isn't that much of a threat.
But they do ignore that, before marriage, there is dating, and if all the most desirable women end up with an über-hot gay guy who tends to their every need, this might end up disturbing the straight fellas after all.
The statistics I'm aware of indicate that about 5% of the population is, in fact, gay. Discounting all the lesbian women, the course of action described here would deplete the pool of potential female mates by 1/19th, probably the most desirable 1/19th.
Of course, on the other hand, the most desirable 1/19th of men would be covered with the lesbians (literally...), so in the end, everything remains unchanged. Bit of a bugger, at first I thought that idea was a bit brilliant. BUT...what if, rather than going after the young and thus far un-married women, gays went after women who already are married. Specifically those married to those influential in their communities, politicians, priests, etc. Homewrecking for the cause.
Not only loosing the marriage, which must be shiny and happy for a politician or priest, but loosing your wife to a gay guy? The public shame, she'd rather be with a gay dude than her husband. Surely, the threat of that public humiliation alone could convince a few conservatives to change their mind on gay marriage.
However, the whole thing leaves the question: is there a response from the straight women, also?
