    Aaron reacted to gaffeR in My weekend away!   
    It started well



    Then a gang turned up! 



    We had to retreat to our cabin



    But they followed!



    I was too scared to shut the door and all hell broke loose!
     
    He eventually left, i think he thought i was serious about the Oven! But he wouldn't go to far!

    Aaron reacted to Skeff in Programming/Coding Section   
    I see no point in adding a new section for this. This is a gaming forum not a coding forum. Having an entire section, especially one split into specific technologies, would be a waste of space. If you want to talk about code that is awesome, either create a general thread or post on an existing thread such as the OB comp science thread. Perhaps if those threads become popular enough the admin team can look into adding a new action but at this time it isn't worth it.
     
    If you want to do a weekly challenge just have 1 general thread, this will keep down the spam and allow players interested a chance to participate.

    Aaron 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.

    Nice and easy -
    Thanks for reading, <3

    Aaron 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.
     
    I wish to be a barrister of Vengi Square Chambers

    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.

    Their not salty and butt hurt and the rep system is finally being put to use how it should be in this case.
    These type of forum posts are not needed and meaningless to the rest of the community, I can understand a little bit of "banta" you and Tammahshay might be having and your "need" to share it to all the other memes on the forums but 1 to 1 banta isn't a topic that requires a new forum thread e.g. you don't see other people putting up threads of their "banta" filled convos. I see that you're new to the OB forums and all that and I'm not trying to be harsh but just point you in the right direction of how to use the forums.
    Also if you read this post-
    It shows you that the -rep in this particular case is justified.

    Aaron reacted to M1nt-l0u in A Fluxy Community Announcement: PMA centric Gathers   
    I think we've all had just a little bit too much exposure to eachother over the long weekend. Have a break, go to school, read a book, browse Reddit and try playing again in a few days time with a fresh mind and attitude. Let the hate flow out of your bodies. (myself included)
    Edit: Also, can I just add that baiting works both ways. Brandon has been changing his name to J5MONSTER just to annoy Jamie. It has to settle from both sides.

    Hey Mintlou,
    Congratulations, you have been put on a week trial. However we do want to make it clear that after this opportunity at membership there will not be another should we put in a situation where your membership is removed, though we are sure it will not ever come to that. Message an admin to be invited to the trial group and we encourage the usual activity within the community during this time.
    Good luck,
    The OB Staff

    Aaron reacted to Cereal in Quick Conversation about Forum Reputation   
    I'd hate to see the forums transition from the aim being the quality of the discussion to the amount of rep you have, or repping eachothers posts. I hope this focus will go away quickly. This could be used really well to increase the quality of the discussion, but at the moment I feel like it might just be abused.

    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.
