That's 16 minutes after the end of the show. So, the show actually did drive traffic to the site.

Well shit, of what, 20k total users? that's like 5% of the total pop of ZS online at once.

I haven't seen this yet but I've heard that the little bit ZS was on, we were represented well. It looks like it worked because we've gotten around 10,000 unique visitors in less than an hour or so. I'll toss up some website hit statistics tomorrow for fun. :)

Sorry for the sporadic website outages, folks. I'm sure we'll be back to normal tomorrow.

Touche!
I was actually thinking that also. Most were the already existing ZS members and lurkers checking on the progress of this exact thread!.

This is only the beginning! I had a LOT of people on my friends list commenting on the show and asking about ZS/prep/charity. I'm doing what I can to drive as much traffic to this site as we can. Spread the word!

I got to watch the show on the History Channel, Zombies: A living History. I enjoyed it and I really think they showed us in a posative way.

...AND for $25 you can own your own copy of ZOMBIES: A LIVING HISTORY. But wait, that's not all. With this, you will receive a package that the DVD comes in, some packing, and plastic wrap.

Does anyone know if it will be airing again? I got to watch it at the heavy anchor but I'd like to DVR it for friends to come over and watch.

Talked SWMBO into watching it with me and it completely changed her attitude about the Z word,at least as far as ZS is concerned. You guys (and gal) came thru well and IMHO were some of the finest moments of an all-in-all pretty good show. Congratulations!

Glad I waited till the end. ZS was portrayed in an awesome light and basically called humanities best hope.
Also, the end of a documentary is supposed to be the most powerful part, the culmination of the 2 hour program. The fact that ZS was in that spot is a bit of an honor, imho.
I'm really proud to be a part of this org. Awesome job! :D

Actually, there are many images of crypto in his underwear across the web.

I had no idea ZS had anything to do with the show. I randomly came across it and thought it looked interesting. At the end where they plugged ZS I was like holy shit it's ZS lol.

I heard there was some quote of "Zombie Squad: Tipping the scales in humanities favor" or something like that. What's the quote and who mentioned it?

The quote went something like "Zombie squad is tipping the scales in favor of humanity" I think it was the announcer/narrator of the show who said it.

The documentary portrayed ZS in a realistic manor: a bunch of good people out to help the community, both via charity and education. By no means did it portray ZS to be fanatics or any other typical paradigm you might find on TV today. The police also had kind words to say about ZS, emphasizing their community spirit and support. It was a big win for your organization, which is also a win for charity and education. Congratulations. Well done.
