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: RIP Lou Reed
Seriously? Damn.
Well, looking at Wikipedia, he had a good run. He started living the rockstar life fifty years ago. More than the average life-expectancy of times past. And he was in Velvet Underground. Off the top of my head, I cannot even name a single tune of theirs. But I hear that name and I picture the sort of sex and drugs excesses only the '60s seem to have produced. Not the crude, low-brow debauchery of the '70s groups, like Led Zep, who were by that time really mostly naughty.
But behavior which, by the social standards of it's time, was beyond the mere "filthy", rejecting even what by those standards was "naughty" as conventional and tame. Behavior for which "unrestrained" isn't a sufficient adjective.
Considering I'm fairly ignorant of their catalog, though probably, if not definitely, aware of their tunes by ear, I have no clue why they of all bands make me think such things. I think I do recall they were part of Warhol's factory crowd, weren't they? Perhaps that's it.
In any case. In an age when many of his contemporary musicians didn't live to see thirty, Mr. Reed managed to collect a half-century of being a rock-musician, and a proper star for most of that, too. He lived to a respectable age for someone of his generation, despite surely having done all the things that usually to get you dead young. Repeatedly. With supermodels and to musical accompaniment.
Ignorant as I am, I'm still sure his passing is a loss to the world of modern music. It is to be mourned by all who enjoy the rock, definitely.
But if anyone had a life full of win, he is it. '60s rock-star, '70s rock-god and, rather than succumbing to drugs, booze or other such things, he held on to life's neck all the way to a respectable 71 years of age.
Farewell, sir! You win!

As I suspected, I was well aware of them by ear. Of the first half dozen of results that came up on google video, half had the tune popping into my head when I just read the title. Venus in furs I knew, too, just not the title. And they worked with Nico. She was one of Warhol's projects, wasn't she. As I suspected, also!
