A most excellent documentary on a subject quite dear to all our hearts, and giving well deserved recognition to what is the well-spring, reason, foundation and origin of human civilization.

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.

The argument could be made that they figured out food storage once they had figured out that they'd have to do that for their mad scheme of non-nomadic-living-to-make-beer to work out.
The reasons to get stationary was that making beer being stationary for a certain time, anyway, so why not stick around and keep making beer? Trecking around the countryside is not conducive to activities involving containers full of liquid.
I would suspect that they didn't go from being nomads to being settlers in, like, a day, just plunking down somewhere. Probably, they started making beer in one place, going out to get food, sooner or later more and more people would stick around that one place and the area they covered for food gathering decreased as they developed the tools necessary to live in one place over time.
And with over time I mean probably a number of generations.
But beer gave them a reason to settle the fuck down.
I had read about this before, but this slick video is, well, a slick video, and there's all that stuff about what happened after they settled down.

All arguments aside, the place where they got the "duck pond" water is called the UC Davis Arboretum, through which flows Putah Creek.
Putah Creek barely flows, and is completely and totally nasty.
Also, I just emailed that professor, and will keep you posted if he replies.

From Professor Bamforth:
Tongue in cheek.
That wasn't beer from arboretum water that we were drinking - though the
bugs were certainly killed. It was the thought of duck shit that turned me off

That was his message in its entirety.
Wonder how many times he's gotten emails about THAT one!
