I am actually very glad that this thread has recieved the response it has. I've written and posted several similar themed threads in the past but it's always good to consistently bring up the topic. Bullying and any sort of tangent branch off of bullying is a continuous and ever looming presence in the world today and something we all need to be aware of. It's also something we all need to be actively involved in in order slow it's overwhelming preference.
Now, I'm going to get religious on you all here real quick, but bear with me. The bible teaches that we are all brothers and sisters, literal spirit children of our Heavenly Father. As such, should we not treat each other as such? Something that a group of friends and I came up with while I was on my mission was something called The Platinum Rule. This is in reference to The Golden Rule, which is "treat others as you would want to be treated." We decided to take it a steep further and create The Platinum Rule which is stated as "treat others the way you think they feel they should be treated." This is something very similar to the way Christ was when he was here on Earth in the fact that his character was an outward facing one rather than inward. In other words he focused on bettering those out around him rather than solely focusing inward on bettering himself.
Honestly, if everyone were to always think in these terms and consider how others feel and how they want to be treated and focusing on uplifting one another, this forum could improve a hundred fold on its already top notch performance. Please, consider what I've said and if there are changes to be made in your behavior or actions, I encourage you to make those changes. Consider everything that has and that will be posted in this thread and make a concerted effort to apply the advice given within.

It should be autofilling the needed information anyway. It's not your CoDz login but a different one used to keep the site under wraps.

Congrats to all those we awarded this to this time around. You all deserve it a thousand times over and I look forwards to continuing work with you all in the future.

Welcome back to the forum! I never met you the first time you introduced yourself because I was on my mission, but I'm here now. So, welcome!
-
Thank you all very much for your input. I've seen some really great comments and points made here.We really do appreciate it and as Craig mentioned earlier, we will be considering everything and doing various tests on this particular aspect of the forum. If any of you have any more feedback regarding this, please feel free to leave it. We love it when we can get feedback and community input on how to continue improving the forum.

Not that many of you will see this particular section of the site, but I figured I'd share this because it's just flippin' cool in my opinion and it shows off the sleekness of the site:
-
Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it. It'll be very helpful when I get around to recording everything.
-
There are a lot of really cool things that are being added to the site design all the time. I'm super excited for you all to be able to get your hands on it. I can honestly say that it is the best version of the site we've had since the site's inception four years ago.

So, guys, I'm looking at doing a series on the CoDz youtube channel, as well as my own channel going through and playing every single Zombie map. In doing so, I would like to make this some sort of challenge for myself and whoever I might choose to play with. I want to make an attempt at going as far as I possibly can on each of the maps. Now, I already have some good strategies on how to do this for some of the maps, but there are others that I'm not too sure on. So, instead of me going out and doing a ton of research, I decided it would be much more beneficial for me to come to you guys and enlist your help. As such, I would like to know what strategies you all use on each of the maps, regardless of whether it's a solo attempt or co-op.
Don't be shy either, if you only know of a good strategy for a single map, then that's great! Post it here. I'd love to see it. I want to collect as many great strategies as I can here for all of the maps. If at all possible, I would ask that you please post a link to a thread here or embed a youtube video showing the strategy in action. I feel that eventually this will become not only a good strategy source for me as I embark on this video series journey, but it will also become a great resource for anyone who wants to progress to the high rounds on any of the maps. I intend to update this post later on with all of the collected strategies once we've begun to collect a large number of them.
So with that all described above, let's get to it zombie players! Tell me your favorite Zombie map strategies! -
Over the course of four and a half years we've had a great legacy of administrators for the site including @carbonfibah, @julez, @lissa110, @AlphaSnake, @Phantom, @Strwrsbob, and myself. Each has risen through the ranks showing leadership qualities that become noticed and utilized. They excel in each facet of their responsibilities and are incredibly supportive of the website and community we have established here. Each and every one of them has poured heart and soul and immense amounts of time into bettering the website to make it the best Zombies community out there. It is because of these legacy administrators that the site has become what it has today. Unfortunately, these great administrators come and go as circumstances change and life decisions are made. Or, we experience (or expect) an increase in site usage. Either way, these kinds of circumstances require that members step up to fulfill the role of an administrator.
Now, don't worry, neither myself or @Strwrsbob will be leaving anytime soon. We intend to stick it out well through Treyarch's next game and into next year. But, seeing as how we are expecting an increase in site usage here in the coming months, we have determined that it is appropriate to appoint an additional administrator. Of course, we haven't totally just randomly picked someone from our current staff or even from the forum members. That would just be silly. No, there has been one staff member in particular who has really stepped up and done a considerable amount for the site. Our resident Technical Support Guru has done some amazing things for the site including Forum transfers to new forum software, numerous fantastic plugin installations such as the brains feature, the mention system (which I've shown in this post), and most recently the CoDz Leaderboard. In addition to that he has been working on another large project for the site, which we should be unveiling in the next month or so. Essentially, he has already been a fully fledged administrator in everything except color.
I imagine most of you are already aware who this is by now, but for those who aren't, I would like to formally introduce you all to @Hells Warrrior, AKA Craig. I am extremely grateful to everything he has done for the site and the amazing guy he really is. This site would not be here today in its current form without his efforts. As such, I officially welcome him into the ranks of Administrators and wish him the best in everything he continues to pursue. I also ask that all of you give him a large round of applause and congratulations for this achievement. We look forward to continuing to work with him and all of the future projects we have in store. As I mentioned before, keep an eye out for a big announcement regarding the progression of the site here in about a month.
Until then, keep on zombie slayers!

Welcome @Pr0fess0rSkunk ! Have you met my good friend, Chemistry Cat?
Haha, anyway, welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your time here.
-
Welcome to actually posting on the site Frenzy! Better late than never for the first post.
-
Welcome to the forum Stephanie! I hope you enjoy your stay here and that you'll find plenty of help with getting all of those zombie related achievements!

When I look at the current list of Hall of Famers, it seems like having been Carbonfibah's friend around the WaW and GKNova6 days counts for way more than it should. Most of them have less than 200 posts and haven't logged on in years.

@MixMasterNut yeah, I sort of got at that a little bit in my above post when I said that ideally new inductee's will be active members. We as a staff didn't feel it was our place to remove anyone already "grandfathered" under the previous Legendary (currently HoF) listing. I can say that I never knew many of them, but they were put there for a reason - and we are going to respect that.
Our two active Hall of Famer's are Phantom & Alpha, and I'd love to add some more. We'll be having a staff meeting here pretty soon, and this subject will be prioritized for sure.
Actually also, @Covert Gunman would be a good person to have in this conversation. Let's here what you think Covy, and also - if you could provide any context regarding the folks in the Hall of Fame usergroup (what they did for the site to become "legends") that would be awesome.
EDIT:
I would also like the usergroup of "Veterans" changed to perhaps active members that have been here for over 3 years? Rather than just retired staff members. The title & description doesn't really go together.
Since this has been brought up a few times now might as well give it some attention. I actually agree with PINNAZ on this. We used to have a usergroup back called "Veterans" dedicated to members that have been with CoDz since the very beginning. Perhaps there could be multiple ways to become a Veteran;
- Be a member of CoDz for 3-5ish years
- Retired CoDz staff member
Whichever comes first.
Also, don't worry. I intend to get started on the year-end awards soon
@ @PINNAZ I like it. We need to nail down a singular value though, I think 4 years would be good - because currently we have medals for 1, 2 and 3 years on CODZ. And what's better than a medal? Usertitle. Usertitle for that 4th year. I'm all for it.
Well, as is mentioned in the description for the Hall of Famers, each individual case is unique. @AlphaSnake and @Phantom you should be aware of why they're a part of this group. @Ibanez was a long standing member and staff member who put a lot of work into moderating the form. @shri046 was another staff member who actually worked a great deal on a lot of the early features for the site including the forum skin as well as the interactive Der Riese map. @Telixion is a fantastic guy who helped out a lot with the early Zombies storyline as well as various map strategies. @Vosty3 is yet another fantastic all around amazing guy who was extremely involved in the WaW and BO days with finding storyline hints. He was also a CoD VIP with @carbonfibah and we had a great connection with him and his site, WeTheGamerz.
Looking at the list of Hall of Famers, I do think there should be a change in description so that we can really highlight fantastic members without them having to have achieved a Staff position. I do also agree that there needs to be an adjustment of the requirement for Veteran status. Though I don't know if I'd approve of making it a 4 year requirement. There should be other requirements as well.

@GRILL Actually, the trailer was just released today announcing that it's whole new Zombies mode, but you're correct, the actual footage has been around for a while. I was quite disappointed. I was hoping to see some actual in game footage rather than previous cut scene footage rehashed together with Season Pass info.

Here's the new trailer that was just released showcasing Exo Zombies alongside the season of DLC for Advanced Warfare. Begins in January.

So, what are your thoughts?

I "Like" this thread a lot.
Anyway, we're excited to be bringing this feature to the site. We expect to to be used to it's fullest extent and are looking forward to using it in the future for any future products.
Side note, expect to be seeing some sort of application of the Like system implemented in the nominations for UOTM.

I'm planning on streaming it as soon as I get it. If it so happens to be that it unlocks at 12am EST, then that would be 10pm MST for me.

Hello all. I will be livestreaming some Advanced Warfare this evening as soon as it launches here. I'll be playing on the PC, so if you happen to be getting on PC as well and would like to join me, please leave a message here with your Steam ID and I will add you.
My stream is twitch.tv/covertgunman

Hey, what's going on fellow CoDz members? I've got an exciting new affiliation to announce (which you may have already figured out
), and that is that we have developed an affiliate partnership with the global multichannel video game, consumer electronics and wireless services retailer, GameStop. We are extremely excited to be a part of this and to be able to bring you some of the top deals that GameStop has to offer.As part of this affiliation with GameStop, they provide us with various links and banners to place on the site which correspond to various deals that GameStop.com has going on throughout the week. The great thing is that when you as the user click on the links and purchase something from their website, you not only get a great product, but you support our website with a percentage of your purchase price.
Now, I felt like today would be a great time to bring this affiliation to everyone's attention due to the fact that GameStop is having their first ever Zombie Salepocalypse where you can get deals on GameStop's premier Zombie games, collectibles, electronics and more. Because of that I will be posting the links pertaining to that particular promotion first with all of their other offers beneath it.
I hope that you will all support us in this cause and actively take part in these promotions offered through the generosity of GameStop.
So, what do you all think of this new affiliation? Do you support it? Do you hate us for it? How would you like to receive news about these deals? Through an email? In a weekly topic detailing each available deal? A separate page with all of the deals? Leave us a reply with your feedback. We'd love to hear it all.
Thanks.
