EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
Show
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!

2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
Click if you have a problem.

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.

It looks daft...

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.

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

i remember seeing something like that on tv not that long ago.

and to answer the keep-from-falling-over question. there were "landing gears" that extended when you slowed down.

looked pretty nifty, IMHO. sleek, fast, quiet, comfy.

Ecomobile has outriggers that extend below a certain speed I believe. I saw it a a bike meet here in PA. I've heard there are only two of them in the US.http://www.ecomobile.com/

I kinda agree. Although it is kinda neat. The Ecomobile had heat and A/C. Pretty much anything a car has.

The Ecomobile website has great instructions for those who have never used "the net" before.

"Drag cursor over desired location, point and click for topic."

Thanks!

Watching the videos of the Ecomobile on a race track made it look pretty cool. I'm just wondering what is so "Eco" about it. There are no numbers related to fuel efficiency.

Looking at it as a motorcycle, I agree. Looking at it as a sci-fi vehicle that has a cockpit AND a canopy makes it a lot more interesting. I wonder how much it would cost to get ejector seats added...
There's no such thing as "too Mad Max."
