Sorry boys and girl...and Slade. Been caught up with work and exo Zombies. Congrats to the folks who received two or more nominations. You've progressed to the next round! Vote it up!

Welcome to forum and from the other coast! Let us know if you need anything!

Yeah they are for adding zombie labs as an idea forum. They are suggesting research facility as a name change for future zombies.

Welcome, and nice to meet you! Have a medal

Future Zombies- For the casual theorists. Basically threads that do no make it into Asylum. Asylum- for the hardcore theorists. Zombie Labs- Essentially feature/map/storyline without any factual basis. I like that set up, as long as the name Future Zombies is changed. To me, that doesn't imply theory, that implies concepts, but apparently that's what Zombie Labs is for. Perhaps we could rename it to be the Research Facility or something like that? Research Station/Research Facility- I think something along those lines would work fine. We will of course have the short description on the main index. We could additionally pin a forum guide at the top of each, to further refine the forum use.

As always, the following rule is required for nominations to be accepted. @Nightmare Voyager @Black Hand Smith @The Meh Thank you!

Have any current examples I could reference?

I agree, we could possibly expand upon this http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/177605-welcome-to-teammate-finder/. We could also utilize the calendar function side hook and remove the tournaments section all together. Future Zombies- For the casual theorists. Basically threads that do no make it into Asylum. Asylum- for the hardcore theorists. Zombie Labs- Essentially feature/map/storyline without any factual basis. I am for this. So basically leave all three for the undefinable threads or merge all three after we move the other threads? Ah, that's just two images merged together. Not watching the small details at four in the morning. Thanks for all the feedback so far folks!

CoDz February User of the Month! Nominations open until December 27th, 2014 [Midnight GMT] Love isn't the only thing in the air this February! A new Admin, and new forum, and of course a new UOTM! Submit nominations for the member you think best represented greatness in the last thirty days. And who knows, maybe you have a few secret admirers yourself... How it works Step 1. Browse the forum. Look around, if you really weren't here during the month, please don't put up a random nomination or vote. Just look around. Spend 15 minutes, or even 7 hours scanning around the entire forum! There are lots of great things to read! Step 2. Decide on your nominations. Pick a few people who you think could be worthy to be added into the poll. You aren't limited to one, but please don't nominate more than a few users. If they're worthy of nominations, they'll be mentioned by someone else. Trust your fellow users, and don't go on a nomination streak, you don't get a care package for 5 nominations. Also, please read this thread by Ehjookayted on the qualities that are looked for in User of the Month candidates. - Please click here! - There will be cake. Step 3. Post your nominations, and explanations or example links. When you've decided who you would like to nominate, please post it below in a reply to this topic. I will also be looking for a brief explanation, and/or a link or two showing examples of why they should be User of the Month. Step 4. Wait. I will leave nominations open for about 2-3 days after posting this thread if time permits. This is simply to ensure that most of our regular users have the opportunity to chip in. Just be patient, and thank you for your time. Step 5. Vote! Out of the nominations, I will add those that meet the required criteria to a poll, which will run for about 3 days. I hope to end the poll on the last day of each month, but time can be a cruel mistress sometimes, so bare with me if things are a day or so off. Step 6. Celebrate! Congrats, you helped a great member be recognized for his/her greatness. You should be feeling warm and tingly now. Be sure to congratulate them! After the voting is closed, I will remove the old User of the Month from the title, and the new winner will don the Cyan robe and become our new User of the Month! Rules and requirements A user may not nominate themselves or anyone sharing the same IP address. This is to avoid cheating. In order to nominate a user for UOTM, you must have at least 50 posts, and have been a registered member for at least a month. A user will not be added to the poll unless they have been nominated at least twice by two separate users. A user may not nominate more than three other users per competition. If there is an abundance of votes for two-three users where upon the total number of users is more than six, a second round of voting may occur if requested by the community. The second round will only consist of the top voted users. A user may not win User of the Month if they have won the title in the last 3 months. A staff member may not win the title if they have won in the last 6 months. Users will only be part of the User of the Month group for the month after they won. They will however keep a medal to recognize their victory. Any nomination, will require a brief explanation, and example links of posts that show the qualities necessary for a User of the Month. A nomination regarding a staff member is subject to the decision of myself and the other staff as to whether or not it should be accepted based on the linked material and/or written reasons provided by the nominator.

Hey Team, I wanted to talk briefly about the organization of the main page and some areas I personally think are an opportunity. If you are familiar with any of my larger threads you will notice that I am a firm believer of organization and simplification (i.e. A place for everything and everything in its place). Although I never completed this one, it is a prime example http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/158528-black-ops-2-users-guide-work-in-progress/. I think the current layout of our main page has so many sections that the overall navigation has become difficult if not using New Content or Search buttons. If you take a look at overall utilization of the forums over the last three months, it is clear that we have many forums that don’t require a one click redirect. Based on the data presented above, here is my suggested reorganization: Notes: I’d like to reestablish Future Zombies as a place to theorize, and add a new forum Zombie Labs as an area to concoct and develop idea threads. Merge all grief and turned topics to one forum. Some of the current forums contain zero posts. Move topics currently located in General Black Ops and World at War Discussion to General Zombies. Move Game Lounge and Media Center to Member Lounge. Merge Gaming Discussion & News and Console Discussion with Off Topic. No massive changes, but I think this would serve as some much needed maintenance. Again, there is not current action plan in place to make these modifications. Just an idea. Thoughts?

Welcome to the forum bud! If you need anything at all simply speak my name and I shall appear.

If @Slade and I can grab some kick-ass images, we'll definitely work our magic. *ahem* *Whistles passively* I don't think we want to jump the gun on that one either. Let's make sure we don't get extinction'd Killjoy! :*

Although to your point, it does junk up the new content queue. All extended stories could easily be merged into a single post and formatted using spoiler tabs. I don't recall the exact members id, but they were working on the Maxis saga. I took the ten separate threads and neatly merged them into one. So is it a rule? No. A courtesy? Yes.

If you notice any issues that you think break our code of conduct, please utilize the the report feature. The staff will address them if needed.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make.

I've heard this time and time again of the good old days and the degradation of the call of duty zombies community. In actuality that veteran members have the same mentality of a widow recollecting her beloved husband or a child recalling how great their old school was. In reality the husband was an asshole and the school was a broken down crack den. Take off your rose colored glasses and realize that cod hasn’t changed, your standards have. I’ve read most of the old content and with the exception of a few outliers most of it was subpar. The majority of the current “adult” community were children when the game released, allowing continuous improvement on their methods. Admittedly the developers have jumped the shark, but the in-game analysis has not lost any of its drive.

I feel like I know you already Welcome to the forum! Have a medal.

@PINNAZ Do you know how to access these?
