Zombie Squad

Not a whole lot, just checkin in on folks in harms way this week, I have some friends and family out that way, but pretty far inland. They're more worried about mudslides and road washouts than flooding. I seem to remember reading something about the NC legislature banning the use of sea level rise ...

I seem to remember reading something about the NC legislature banning the use of sea level rise data for coastal planning purposes, too People were told to prepare to evacuate communities up and down a stretch of coastline already identified as particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels due to cli...

Any ZS members in the affected zone? Would be good to get first-hand accounts of how this plays out.

hopefully they're getting the hell out of the affected zone

One note about "18650 vs 2xCR123" is that its not only the voltage difference: they're physically not the same dimensions. a CR123 is substantially thinner (2mm less) than a 18650 as well as not being slightly longer than 1/2 of an 18650 (340mm) and many lights are too skinny to accept an 18650. I k...

I'm sure your blades are top tier, man. All your work is great.

I just don't see how they do a machetes job better than a $40 stamped machete like the 100 million made before it, is all.

People will take any cheap tool and customize it until its ridiculously expensive. I've seen people selling forged machetes for $200. Or CNC'd shit. Machetes are supposed to be cheap as hell and made out of stamped flat stock, but whatever, people can buy what they want I guess. a $200 machete certa...

the main site and store are still down until Jeff gets back from travel to clean the malware bullshit out of all the PHP and him and kyle can put the main site back up. Both require extensive re-work to function right with the newer PHP we're running on now and we dont want a repeat of the malware i...

Two of our Chapter Officers, Christian and Craig, demoed some traps both commercial and homemade during our July meeting.

hahaha I meant 'like 10 years ago' I havent seen 'stick it in their pooper while they turn' in years

001 is taking a trip across the river to Carlyle Lake in Illinois, for a day at the beach! Come and bask in our pasty white glory, get a secondhand tan! We're also getting a pavillion, so we'll have the grill out, making burgers and dogs. if you want something fancy, throw it on the grill and take a...

It's that time of year when ZS asks mankind to fulfill their ancient compact with the Vampires, supplying them with volunteer blood to keep them from getting via more unsavory means. Seriously though, the ARC is in a blood crisis right now, the national blood supply always drops off in the summer wh...

Hey, This month's meeting, as usual, will be in the bar at Shrewsbury Lanes at 7202 Weil. 6:30PM. We'll be talking about traps and snares, telling people how to get their iron count up for the blood drive, and doing some last minute talking about our beach trip. https://www.facebook.com/events/26693...

ZSC-001 abandonded the forums about 5 years ago for more modern social media platforms, but have recently decided it's time to come back and start talking about what we're doing.

More posts coming.

(In the old days this is where we said 'someone sticks it in your pooper')

yeah man I'm sorry we were down for a week, but everyone who could have helped was out on a mountain for a week at the annual ZS campout/seminar stuff. We're all just volunteers man, and we don't have a lot of money to play with for active security. That said, we're taking some pretty comprehensive ...

Sorry about the bump back to prosilver, the PHPBB upgrade process made us remove all the old incompatible styles, of which subsilver (the most common style everyone used) was one. I just installed a new style called AllenStyle-subsilver that looks as close to the old one as is feasible. Most of the ...

not at all, please do. let me know what account to delete after you're done Smoooth! Okay, you can kill this one. Cool! One other thing you may have noticed was that new users now have to get posts approved before they show up, which should further reduce the visible spam the board gets. I'm not su...

I will when it comes back up. We're still closed for business until we redo the store portion of the website and re-enable payment processing for anything. The PHP hack that was injecting malware into the site was just some userspace BS that didnt have access to the store, but now that we're looking...

not at all, please do. let me know what account to delete after you're done

well, the old-board-new-committee is selling merch and memberships, that money is paying for our infrastructure: the google apps account we use for email and collaboration and storage space, the web server, the domain registration, etc. That part stays like it was. But merch and memberships were alw...

The finger is still broken and there's like 20 stitches in it, so it's all splinted up. I'll post next week when all my available forum time isnt spent administering. Enough about the finger though, is anyone having forum problems post upgrade? The new version supports google's newer captcha, which ...

okay wow this is new and weird lol.


upgrade is done!

Sorry the outage took so long, the hack went in while everyone with access to the website was at Z-Con, and I happened to come back early with a mostly amputated pinky finger (dumb story) and all I could manage to do in a splint was turn off the web services until other people could get back and rec...

To Everyone: The forums are back up but we're going to upgrade to PHPBB 3.2 and get off this old-ass version we've had for too long. Everyone is getting moved to the default PHPBB style, Prosilver, and if we can easily install some other themes after the upgrade, we will, but a bunch of these are wa...
