Title: Your zombie apocalypse forum.
Post by: Solace on September 07, 2010, 04:49:39 pm
If a zombie apocalypse occurred and most of the world's population died, and being the internet expert (http://i55.tinypic.com/1zvpuua.jpg) you are, you decide to create your own online message board for survivors of the zombie apocalypse to use. So, how would you set up your zombie apocalypse forum? Also, for this scenario, let's just say that electricity, server hosts, and internet service providers weren't shutdown (but everyone who operates them is is dead and thus unable to switch them off). I'd set it up like this: http://s4.zetaboards.com/Survivor_Center/index/ (http://s4.zetaboards.com/Survivor_Center/index/)


You can either create a forum for free using one of these:

Imagine lots of linkspam here. --The E

Or you can just tell us how you would set it up using bold as categories, normal text as forums, and hyphens as sub-forums (with double hyphens indicating a sub-sub-forum, triple indicating a sub-sub-sub-forum, etc.). If you want to, you can also use parenthesis to describe what each forum is for. Here is an example (using the same set-up as the example forum I made):

Well, then just let me reply to you that, if you are in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse, an internet forum won't help, since you are (by the narrative rules of all Zombie Apocalypses EVER) cut off from the net.

why zombies?

zombies do not run (not for me at least), I think pigeons are far more dangerous, and plus they can bring your interness lines down, they don't need to climb to get to those.

Yeah, the truth is zombies are actually a pretty unimpressive thing in the face of modern weaponry. The zombie horde is unusually resilent, true, but the Steel Rain doesn't find them any hard to kill than the rest of us, and they go crunch just like anything else when you run them down.

World War Z is a lie.

Oh, and Solace?

Google tells me you cross-posted this across at least 3 forums. You, sir, are a spammer.

Not everyone has access to the latest weaponry.

and toilet bowl cleaner. that stuff can make some interesting chemical weapons/explosives.

oh and phosphorus and alcohol are useful if zombies are weak against fire.

also gasoline.

Ah eliminating zombies one of the many benefits to studying the Medieval Kunst des Fechtens.  Hell you don't even need to utilize anything that fancy, just transition from right Ochs to left and vice versa.  Perhaps the occasional Mittelhau from Vom Tag to spice things up. 

@NGTM-1R  Even if steel rain wasn't that effective I'm pretty sure a platoon of M1A2s with mine plows rumbling down the highway line abreast could have solved the problem quite neatly.

Yeah getting hit by that at 67.6 km/h is going to be all kinds of unpleasant to the undead.

You know, you don't even REALLY need to go out and kill them. Just wait for wild animals to eat them, bacteria to do their fine job of decomposition, or for the zombies to walk off bridges/cliffs.

That was exactly what I meant by "go crunch".
