PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE ANYTHING.
This measure is inconvenient, yes, but necessary at present.
Click below for more information.
EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
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.
Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!
Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.
Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.
Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent
Umah Thurman Midget Circus
Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.
A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

you find bikes you used to own on CL. Oddly enough I bought it originally for $500 with it having a missing second gear and put a 91' tranny/final drive in. Can still see the exhaust BanGuzzi put on it rusting away....
http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/2019089333.html
so I bought it, sold it to BanGuzzi who traded it to Kam, who sold it to my friend jessie, who sold it on CL to a guy who sold it a year later, and I last saw it listed for over $2k a while after that.
Nope.......... not going to go get it either.....

Like bad fish, it came back! I did like that bike. I think likely ruined the final drive you put on.
61K for mileage? Really? I thought that sucker had seen more than that!

When we finally nutted up and sold off my daughters VW cabrio for parts earlier this year, we were happy to get $500 for a running w/ bad trans. never wrecked car.
Less than a month later we found it listed back on CL with no glass or convertible top, still bad transmission, for $700.
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

My first VW is up on CL right now.
http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pml/c ... 54017.html
I spent 4 years and almost $35,000 building that car. Kept for 7 or 8 years and then traded it for a $5000 1952 Chrysler hardtop. That guy kept it for 2 or 3 years then traded it away for a a big old Plymouth Belvedere 4 door that was worth maybe $3000. Now it's for sale for $6100.

A sold vehicle's afterlife is something I don't want to hear about.
Had a Wrangler sitting in the yard gathering rust. Wife's co-worker was interested in it for the gears. Sold it to her for $500.
Every time my wife started to tell me about what her co-worker was doing with the Jeep, I cut her short. It's gone, I didn't want to know.
"They sold this part to..." No. Don't want to know.
"They used..." No. Don't want to know.
"They sold it to a salvage yard for..." No. Don't want to know.

I had a Ford Ranger pickup with about a zillion miles on it, sold it to a local guy. For YEARS, every time something went wrong on the damned thing, I heard about it.
Every time, I told him, "t's an old truck, with a lot of miles on it, that's how it goes."
I was so happy when it finally died.

When I traded my Daytona for the Duke I really worried a lot about whether the new owner would be 'happy'. I love to detail bikes, and I put hours and hours into the Daytona, not wanting him to find a single flaw or dirty spot someday and think ill of me.
Since getting the bike, he's racked up the miles, removed the fairing, swapped the headlights for big Hellas, attatched straps and plugs for luggage and farkles, and, last I heard, was planning to repaint it roulette green. He told our mutual friend that it may be the best bike he's ever had. I am relieved and pleased.

I always enjoyed finding new homes for bikes that eventually made their way back to the shop after a while. It was nice to attempt to make sure they always ended up in good hands.
The downside was the few royal runny turds that always seemed to follow me to wherever I ended up. I hated telling the new owner that I already knew what was fucked up, and just how bad it was. I still see one of the old owner's bikes show up on Craigslist every few years. It always makes me laugh, because it stll has the old blown out shocks on it from one of my bikes. When the shit hit the fan and the checks bounced, I made damn sure the fancy new adjustables from his made their way somewhere else.

I should clarify: I didn't want to hear how they bought the Jeep for $500, took what they needed, then parted/sold it for $500+.
If it was like Pattio's situation, that would have been cool.

Pattios mechanic gave away a bike few years back, I think it was Yamaha Maxim, no title or keys, FREE to anyone who wants it, next week it's up on CL for $700, "needs battery runs great" or something like that...
