    Sir_Conor got a reaction from UnSeen in Surf?   
    Sorry, I'm not not sure if you meant it this way but this has come across, at least for me, as really ignorant and arrogant. If you had been active recently you might recall a few weeks ago we were about to put up the surf server and everything was going well, a default server was even set up but before any custom work could be begun our stuff was hacked into and due to this everything was disabled by us to try limit the amount of damage and to find out how it had happened.
    Also as a side note, just before the 'hack' happened, we had moved over to a new dedi as for the same price we got double ram, quadruple hard drive space and eventually more security. We had a week to move over the gameservers to a new dedi due to what happened, which would be fine by itself but as the new dedi is Linux I also would have had to learn all of the basics for Linux to set up gameservers in that time too.
    However of course things in OB don't go so easily. When I had 5 days to finish moving our stuff across from the dedi to our new bigger and better dedi, we got anonymoosed and I had to  spend 1-2 days trying to find out how it was done to make sure it doesn't happen again. This ended up in me deciding to move everything to the new dedi to keep it more secure so it meant having to have to learn a hell of a lot more in a short time. These were things that I've never had any real previous experience with but after staying up quite a bit over those few days that I had I was able to get a basic JB up. I then had to get the forums sorted by setting up SQL databases and importing previous data (which is really fucking fun), following this I also had to fix, add extra things to and secure our sourcebans, CTbans, permissions and every other little thing while also fixing every problem that popped up along the way. All of this was done along with having a job and other commitments. I'm not trying to sound petty or like a bitch when I say this, I am more than willing to put time into this community but I work at my own pace.
    So I have been doing a hell of a lot of stuff and working as fast as I can without completely just no life-ing 100% of my time to it. It is a hobby of mine but this an explanation of why surf is taking longer than we expected. Also Mintlou, I don't really know what your point is about as others have tried to explain it to me but I'll wait until you come to me directly rather than listen to their possibly wrong interpretations. Read above if you also didn't know why surf has been taking longer.

    Sir_Conor reacted to Jak in Nice stuff only [PMA]   
    The nicest person is sir Conor because he allows the community to exist and without him we wouldn't even be here so if anyone else says anything different you are wrong (still keeping it PMA) and although you might be wrong you are still a chill guy whoever it is that might say anyone different to sir Conor, the nicest guy on OB. Other people are nice too (not naming names, don't want to single people out) but sir Conor deserves the prize and the crown of nicest on OB.

    OBFACTOR Results
     
    After a long night of competitors striving to win this years OBFactor, the competition finally came to its end.  The competitors were slowly eliminated and finally there was a distinctive winner.  A huge thanks goes out to everyone who competed in the OBFactor for not only showing up, but also bringing your incredible, or not so incredible talents for us all to hear and enjoy.  Also thank you to everybody who watch and chipped in with their own unique ideas at various times, you were all a great help.  The results will now be posted below.
     
    First Place: ModX - His incredible singing stood out during the entire event and frankly nobody could have expected just how incredible he was.  Congratualations ModX on winning your first event in Outbreak, we hope you enjoy the satisfaction of winning and your prize.  The prize you chose was "The Culling".
     
    Second Place: Biggles - Truthfully it came down to a nail biter between first and second, both Biggles and Chris were extremely close but in the end, after an incredible sing off Biggles just managed to nudge Chris out and snag second place.  The prize you chose was "Shower With Your Dad Simulator".
     
    Third Place: Chris - Chris gave it his all throughout the event and truly shocked many of us with his unique singing voice.  Most people would probably would not have expected to see Chris here given his singing in previous events but truly he is deserving of his place.  The prize you chose was "Duck Game".
     
    If any of you have not received your prize then please contact Kriss and he will give it to you.
     
    Once again we would like to say a huge thanks to everybody who attended and participated.

    Sir_Conor reacted to ColdMeekly<3 in Website Optimisation [Important]   
    Website optimization / Speed Upgrade
    Hey there admins!
    I've researched the current OB Forums, (13/05/2016) and i noticed that the the JavaScript files and the CSS files are not cached! This makes the client re-download every single JS and CSS file (And some images which are static and will not change) on each page, which not only uses up more of your bandwidth, but also increases the loading time for the client - which is bad..
    Additionally, please use CDN - Content Delivery Network (for the sake of those people who do not have a quick connection to the location that the host is located in).
    Below, are the results:

    But wouldn't it be annoying if i didn't suggest an easy way to do all of that?
    Luckily, cloud-flare is FREE!
    https://www.cloudflare.com/features-cdn/
    And cloud-flare allows 3 different levels of caching, to adapt to your usage.
    https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168256-What-are-CloudFlare-s-caching-levels-
    And lastly, a very nice and efficient protection layer against DDOS attacks.
    In conclusion, Cloudflare will speed up your website, minimize the broadband usage on the website, enable people to connect quicker to the website, protect you against DDOS attacks and lastly the users will always be able to access the website, even if it is offline! Oh, and  a 5-10Min set up is required!
    So if you were looking for ways to optimize the website, here's one! And if you're looking to harden the security of it, i could suggest installing a certain module into the website, and if you want to know more about it, just talk to me some time.
    https://www.cloudflare.com/a/sign-up
    Nice and easy -
    Thanks for reading, <3

    Im wary of DICE since Battlefront is probably one of my biggest gaming disappointments of recent times. I normally don't let myself get ultra hyped for games, but that slipped through the net and they hurt me so bad :(

    Sir_Conor reacted to VENGA BUS in Vengi Square Chambers   
    VENGI SQUARE CHAMBERS
     

    Vengi Square Chambers
     
    What is Vengi Square Chambers?
    A barristers chambers for serving barristers in Outbreak Community and those who seek their services. Essentially a place for lawyers who work for you and your best interests. For more about barristers' chambers in general, read here to understand how it works.
     
    EACH BARRISTER IS SELF-EMPLOYED. THIS IS NOT A COMPANY. THIS IS MERELY A SHARED OFFICE. MEMBERS OF VENGI SQUARE CHAMBERS CAN AND OFTEN WILL FACE EACH OTHER IN A COURT OF OUTBREAK.
     
    What does a barrister do in Outbreak?
    Do you say, "we was" in lieu of "we were"? If so, then we help people like you. We know how difficult it can be to articulate your argument succinctly and effectively, when you've just been banned for what feels like no reason. Let us do it for you. We might be drafting your unban request for you, or speaking on your behalf with administrators and admins. Many of our barristers have served as administrators or have extensive experience working with them, so we offer years of experience to put at your disposal, for whatever you need achieving.
     
    How does it work?
    You, as the client, select someone from the Bar Register below, and contact the individual, detailing what assistance you need. Once they accept your case, it is their obligation to secure the best possible outcome for you, either through drafting your unban (you must post it, to comply with the letter of OB law), to speaking with moderators and administrators on your behalf, to simply drafting posts for you in a concise and eloquent fashion. Really, it is up to you and your barrister to decide the extent of their duties in your working relationship, as well as fees and payment. 
     
    What if I am a corporate [OB staff] client?
    We also serve corporate clients. Any member of staff can hire us, provided they pay the fees. We are happy to represent you in defence against unban requests against you or a member of your staff. Announcements regarding changes in legislation can be incendiary, provoking bad press and backlash against the administrative staff - with the expertise of our barristers, you can rest assured that your announcement will be drafted professionally, eloquently and with a water-tight argument. The fee is negotiable solely at the individual barrister.

    I want a barrister to represent me
    Please select and contact a member of the Bar below.

    THE BARRISTERS' REGISTER
     
    Venga, OC
    Contact details upon click
    A specialist in unban requests and administration negotiations, Venga has dealt with numerous unban requests. He was also the orchestrator of one of the most perverse twists of justice in Outbreak history, when Mintlou was unfairly banned. He has proven himself an effective sophist and will twist words in order to achieve a fair outcome for you. He has a strong track record in passing controversial legislation in a challenging legal environment. He has collaborated with Lewis on certain complex cases. He works as a hobbyist, so is happy to work for one-rep per post, with additional work negotiable. 
     
    Jamie, Pupil
    Contact details upon click
    Jamie is currently undertaking his pupillage with Venga, due to lack of experience. Previously worked in the corporate world, now in the world of law. Experienced in employment law and employer-employee disputes. Looking to cut his teeth as a barrister. He and Venga will collaborate on all cases. He was selected for his potential.
     
    Christopher Lord, OC
    Contact details upon click
    An incredibly dedicated and professional individual. Having experienced multiple bans and punishments himself he is adept at recognising petty faults and short falls in the due process of punishment enacted by the lowest moderators and highest of admins. His mastery of ad hominem allows him to blindside any opposition. Willing to work for around two rep flat fee per request, with additional fees negotiable for more complex cases.
     
    Lewis, OC
    Contact details upon click
    An expert in turning cases on their head through a nuanced interpretation of particular legislation. Famous for overturning the entirely justified Tweep ban, against admins' better judgement. Has defended his own bans before, and has collaborated with Venga on more complex cases. Thoroughly dedicated individual who is always eager to challenge injustice. Fees very competitive, one rep flat fee.
     

    SonyTwan, OC
    Contact details upon click
    The only man within the Square Chambers who truly understands your issue. Able to play both sides of the legislative fence due to previous moderation experience, where he tutored inexperienced administrative staff and owners, alongside being sourced for freelance work on Outbreak's official forums and voice communication platform. Due to this, he is very well respected within, and outside the organisation. Also offers coaching in decorum. Fees purely available upon request.

    Sir_Conor reacted to IrishChamp in Quick Conversation about Forum Reputation   
    I love this feature, but for it to work it needs to be used correctly and not abused. I have a feeling this is gonna get extremely downvoted just for the irony but I'm okay with that providing people take it on board.
     
    You shouldn't -rep people because you disagree with them, you -rep people because they're not contributing to the topic, or being hostile, or whatever. 
    It gives us a chance to actually reward people for good content on the forums and rip into anybody you posts a shit comment on a Member app or who shitposts on serious topics.
     
    Please try to use this feature seriously. We've been given a nice tool by the higher ups, and if we abuse it then they're gonna take it away and give us less of the things that we ask for.
