Don't panic. Scoth posted this message to FB about an hour ago. Hey guys. Wanted to let you know the server that runs Dumbwit, the Bot, and various other things died an unexpected death yesterday. It wasn't the hard drive and I believe I have all the data fine, just have to get a new server spun up. Hope to have it running today.

Does the Rogue's Gallery even still work? If they are not updating that, what's the point?

The RG's problem isn't so much that the mods are unwilling to maintain it (some still are), but rather that it is technically impossible to process reports, and that the tech admin can't be bothered to fix the problem.
Unless a.) the RG moves once more, b.) someone opens his own RG with blackjack and hookers and/or c.) someone delivers a jolly buttkick to the tech-admin, it is practically deader than disco.

Well, doesn't that just take all the flavor out it for the heroes. RG has been like that for quite a while too, yes?

......b.) someone opens his own RG with blackjack and hookers...... I'm sure there are other groups capable of hosting a new RG than this one. In the beginning, when the Earth was new and zombie dinosaurs still roamed the land, the main complaint about the RG was that its mods and admins were all PKers themselves so no one really trusted ithe RG back then. And now with so many people mistrusting how ReSenz collects, processes and handles the zerg reports, allows griefings but takes forever to update the Zerg List (especially if one is found innocent but has to wait a long time just to be removed from the List), to suggest that Blackjack and Hookers host the RG when their own board is on ReSenz is a terrible idea. The two entities--the RG and the Zerg List--need to be hosted on different boards by entirely different groups. It's the only way to help insure that at least one (hopefully both) remain impartial.

I didn't care for them back in the Desenz days. I like them no better now . . .
Chaos! Anarchy! Those are my watch words. I don't like people imposing their will on me.

Those people are fucking weird. "Ermagerd! Ermagerd! Someone has done something *improper* in this zombie apocalypse game! TEACHER!!" Just kill, annoy, or muck things up for harmanz in any way possible. I'm happily one-dimensional that way.

Indeed. As George Carlin famously, and succinctly, put it : "Fuck the fucking fuckers."
Normally, I don't play as a harman, but recently I've dusted of a character of mine and sent him round to all the unoccupied buildings to smash the generators. If nothing else, it will waste a bunch of survivor AP fixing my evil deeds.
I am surprised how many buildings in Malton have nothing inside, especially up north.

My Alt Warped just recently was shot down again by a "bounty hunter" and i actually had pity on my killer. There is no list anymore... you are just running around "justifying" your kills from a list that is out of date and dead. Dont get me wrong, when i stand back up ill track her down and kill her... but ill pity the pour soul till then.
Also... why hasn't anyone just put a bullet in the RG forums? Its nothing but spam bots trying to sell viagra.

Does Resensitized/Desensitised still exist? Or Brainstock? I gave up on Desens ages ago, too many rude people, and Brainstock always seemed full of the hyper-obsessed, with all their rules and treaties and contracts and everything.

I forgot (didn't care) about Brainstock!
*goes to see* Yup.
It's there.

Desensitized crashed and burned several years ago, taking all of the old IWits, accusations, zerg reports and evidence (both real and imaginary) with it. Resensitized took its place and that's where the current zerg list is hosted.
I can't remember why Brainstock decided to move to a new board but they did move several years ago too. The current RG is hosted on that new board but people seldom moderate it. Back in January I pointed out to Lois that the board had more than 15 pages of spam (I gave up counting after 15) and she cleaned it up. Then several weeks ago Anime Sucks (from ReSenz) posted on his Facebook page that the RG had over 35,000 spam posts. The RG list itself isn't well-maintained either. Kyle the Feared set the system up but got bored with UD and left without giving anyone the source codes to fix and maintain the list properly.
And Snuffy, I know you like to "annoy, or muck things up for harmanz in any way possible" but someone even tried to zerg list several of the Heathers and those chicks are barely harman.

I recall you telling me about that (the Heathers), PF. Just because a handful of characters are made in a short period and hang out together doesn't mean they are zerging. If we were to start a contest, like a Feral Undead Raise Your Rotter Challenge, to see who could get all the zombie skills first, then attack a target A NT Building at more or less the same time, the whiners at Resenz would be screaming "Ermahgherd! Dey er zhergs!" Now that I think of it, a contest like that might be fun
