Hey guys,
I've briefly mentioned that I was working on a new Landing page before and after many "behind the scenes" memes and months it's finally live! 
I have only been able to work on it in my spare time which is why this project ended up taking months. I learned a lot from this project and taught myself new stuff along the way. I have also been working on a video which probably took more time than the actual web page. 
Landing Page: https://outbreak-community.com
 
If you haven't already, please subscribe to the Outbreak Youtube channel for more cool videos in the future.
Anyway, I hope you guys like the design and feel of the landing page and enjoy watching the video. I also recommend trying out the page on your phone as it is fully responsive and looks cooler on there.
Thanks to Conor for helping out with some design advice too.

Thanks to Gunstar for creating this amazing video!

I would personally wait now for Intel's new coffee lake processors, the i5 and i7 will be all hexacores. They will be released somewhere this year. Let's see what Intel's answer is to Ryzen.

So what i get from this @Blyss is that you're constantly flaming kids on the forums for having no life and barely going outside and you're probably doing it so you will get people to think that you go outside but you probably don't, you're just doing it to boost your ego. It is very sad what you are doing so i would appreciate it if you stopped as comments like this are not needed on threads that are legit interesting or someone wants help. So please stop being a fucking retard and let people do what they want and i don't even see why you even care whether they have lives or not since yours must be so incredibly great with all these comments you're making.
Please stfu
regards

and unfortunately Joji i was unable to find a solution for you sorry :(

Did you know autistic people don't like change.

Since my old one got deleted while relinking my steam account i thought i'd make another one, 
Most people know me as Akame (I dunno why the trademark is in my name don't ask) i used to have some posts on here before all of it got deleted for some reason, when JB wasn't dead i used to play it quite a bit and since it has died down i usually just chill in the teamspeak with cucks such as @JME@Skill and other cuckolds which i'm too lazy to tag.
Some people know me but most others might not so i thought i'd make a less than formal introduction to, well, introduce myself i guess. I'm also part taking in the ESL Summer in a week which i hope we can get far in and possibly win.
Like i said in the beginning this is more of a reintroduction than an intro so i have been here for a while even if i was unnoticed.

tbf i had some dude almost immediately place the confused react on like 6 of my posts from a month ago so

This will only feed the trolls.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and No contract because im a broke bitch paying for csgo skins instead of my phone.

doesn't seem like the community for me...
see you guys

No matter what direction we go in, I will try my best to support OB and it's playerbase.
I'm just glad that everything got cleared up and we know where we are at the moment. All the confusion made it seem like nothing could be done but there is always hope and there will always be something that can be done.
Everyone else pretty much said everything already so I'll just add that I would like to see an Overwatch Tournament :)

I'm guessing the nutty part is your chicken betrayal after you befriended him and gained his trust for a whole second.

I'd advocate putting renewed energy into Jailbreak. Just because a small minority of the older people in the community don't have passion for it anymore, doesn't mean it can't succeed. 
Two memes which are actually true:
1) Attempting to make OB thrive via another game is always gonna be problematic. In general several people will buy a game and get hype around the community then it'll disappear after about 50 hours of gameplay. How many games do we have in this community where like 10 people have stuck to it for a considerable amount of time? Everybody in this community HAS csgo - that's the sort of start you want to be looking at. CSGO is dying in THIS small community under a SELECT overtly vocal minority. Just as I look at the player stats at 9am this morning, it's ranked #2 (as always) with a peek of 550k people. Transferring to another game is already a massive hit on a potential influx of people. As far as I'm aware a PUBG server (if that's even possible in the future) wouldn't be ideal - not really a game you can interact with others beyond your squad of 4 people.

2) You've all talked non stop about how the player base of JB is little kids. School is still in session. Everyone pre year 11 aren't finishing until July 21st. Not to mention people who are only just finishing GCSE/A level Exams/Returning from Uni. It's all happening now. It's like we've forgot that only 60-90 days ago JB was consistently at 30 players. These coming weeks need to be met with strong commitment from those who wanna see OB expand.

Course of Action
Purge the mods who clearly don't wanna moderate a game - we don't need teamspeak/forum mods. Open the apps for young potential. 3 big events over 3 weekends, max players we can get. Jailbreak orientated. Squads of prison wardens vs 40 prisoners or some shit - get people interested again, give priority to randoms for once, our members aren't going anywhere, we want new people. Do something risky, take some new decisions. Events are some of the best ways to get people interested, I've had countless randoms/regulars over the years asking if they can get involved, these are the people we don't wanna turn down this time.

At least these are some of the things I'd do, if you want to try another game for the 10th time then go for it. You just need to remember that in a community founded/evolved from CSGO, another game is never gonna be as popular with the entirety of the member base. If we want to revive JB these few weeks are the time to attack, I'd be willing to help in several ways.

It's alright just saying 'I'm fine with teamspeak and forums' - but maybe the admin team doesn't want to just run that for us, maybe they want to... expand xD

Hey Everyone!
I've wanted to make this post at the start of the month but I've recently been busy with work, my apprenticeship and learning to drive that I haven't had much time to do anything but enough about me. Outbreak's current future has been quite a hot topic and I wanted to give my thoughts on some of the subjects and hopefully get yours. 
New Servers
Every time a new game comes out or something in OB gets plenty of players are interested in. Technically the first thing I'll check is can I actually create a community server after that some of the biggest things I look for are:
What will make it an OB server? When thinking about creating a new server I want it to be an OB server something special, to give it OB personality. How can OB make it fun and special to new and old players alike. 
Players Does the server have a possibility of actually getting players? Is it popular in the community currently or is something we can get players over time.
Members Can the players be turned into members. Is there a reason for new players to return to our server? Is there any benefits we can get Members without ruining anything for new players.
Monetization Usually, this is just thinking about can the server be monetized to support OB. The OB coffers always need help and I want to be able to do special things for the community like tournaments that can back to people that may not play the main OB servers.
 
There are many more reasons that I look at or for but these are some of the main ones. At least for CS Outbreak has never really had too many people that can either create plugins or want to put the effort into creating them so we've always relied upon our Outbreaks personality rather than being a server that has a lot of technical magic.
Outbreak has only every been able to be the best with Jailbreak, added our own personality making it entertaining for players, giving them reasons to stay. Being able to get a player and convert players into members all while being able to fill the OB coffers. Minigames has always been number two to Jailbreak being super fun but never as successfully as Jailbreak but still being fun for a wider amount of OB members.
We could create a few extra servers like a retake or KZ but I personally don't think that outbreaks personality can help these type of servers. I feel we'd be opening a server that so a few people can play for a really small amount of time before moving on to a well-established server that has been doing that type of server for a while. Do people go to these servers to have a conversation with people?
 
Jailbreak Sendoff?
I've been reading both sides of should we or should we not just get rid of Jailbreak. It's definitely in a bad place currently and has various problems that need to be addressed if we'd want to make a comeback of it, something I do 100% believe we can do it would just take time and effort from both our Administration team and our members to give to the OB personality. Outbreak Jailbreaks always seems to be in trends being one of the top CS JB servers to dying and then making a great comeback. Jailbreak is Outbreaks biggest money maker and I don't want to kill it off without some sort of plan to do something else where we can still be self-sufficient.
 
Outbreak but no game servers?
This is something that has been suggested to kill off our game server and just have a TS and website. Personality I don't want to go this route because I like having a direction, a server to put effort into. Even though its always a challenge with aids trolls, hackers, ddosing little nerds I still love meeting new players, new people, new personality's whether it's only one great person out of a 100 It's still worth it for me.
With this in mind some of you have suggested downsizing getting rid of the dedi and just have individual servers for each server OB server we have (Website/TS/Gameserver) and we would cut our costs by around 50% while would be amazing BUT the fact I still get emails with "Detection of an attack on IP address" makes me really hesitant to doing this. One of the biggest killers to Outbreak has been DDossing as not only does it stop people from player our server but it seems to destroys the morale of the whole community (Definitely mine at least)
 
The OB Summer Games
This summer I'm hoping to get a few tournaments as they are always fun for everyone, I personally don't play or are even into rocket league or hearthstone but I'd still enjoy watching OB in a competitive scene. Currently, I want to do a Hearthstone, Rocket League, League of Legends and CSGO tournaments. If there is any more you'd like to see msg me.
 
A Thank you
Thanks for those who've spent time reading through this thread and I know a lot of people actually care about Outbreak in their own way. That love being here with their friends and although it corny as fuck... a our dysfunction family. I overall think we've improved so much from what we started as and I goal is to with your help to keep being better. I do believe that we all need to take a bit of time thinking about the way we do things and how they might come across, I know I'm guilty of making mistakes but let us try and be better in the way we do things.
I do want to give a massive thank you to everyone that every given time to improve outbreak. Whether its just from being a great member representing Outbreak. Putting efforts into an event or getting new and old players alike playing new things. Or being part of the administration team trying to the Outbreak welcoming and friendly for everyone no matter what. 
 
Okay that enough fucking writing for me all the best from me nerds
