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.

...maybe a bit more R&D, but definitely the right track.

I'm fairly certain that we all need to gather up Z50s and slingshots so we can stage a ridiculous party at this guys compound. (Of course he has a compound.)

Didn't Col. John Matrix perfect the "Using a saw blade as a frisbee to kill your opponents" maneuver?
I've no doubt that would hurt like hell, but unless you actually got the blade spinning at a tremendous speed (faster than a slingshot would generate I should think) you aren't going to cut anyone's head off.
Honestly I would think a much more effective weapon would be the steel boomerang from Mad Max II (the little feral bastard slings it around). With only two sharp edges, a bit more mass than a saw blade, and of course a longer "stroke" so to speak due to the length of 'rang, you could do some real damage. Now you would have to deal with the issue of ammunition supply with the boomerang gun, obviously the saw blades are pretty cheap and readily available.
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

Ok, so the guy built a saw blade slingshot. But sorry, it's just not zombie material. Here's why:

1) blade orientation is wrong. Should be horizontal. With the low FPS, that'll just stick in old Bob's skull (or chest if you get the trajectory wrong), he'll look up, roll his eyes and keep coming.

2) The aforementioned low FPS (feet per second). Maybe if was powered by CO2, or had a shit ton more rubber bands. TOO SLOW.

3) Range - thing is too long. When The Hoard comes, some always sneak through (the little ones) and get close. What then?

4) Reloading - ok if you're being attacked by one Romero zombie, but what if there's five 28 days zombies? screwed.

Save yourself the trouble: Full choke 12 gauge Mossberg and a razor sharp long machete ala Book of Eli, or Hanso sword. Now that'll dispatch some zombs.

Like I said, a bit of R&D would be required.
I see this as being to the final anti-zombie sawblade gun what a 15th century arquebus would be to your mossberg.
