TMz Staff!

ooooo i like the new update a lot has happened

Mojo I just realized how hard it is to make a website u are a very smart person it takes time and patience to make this happen, you do this for clan and for all of the people who visit this site and this new update shows how hard designing websites are and for that I thank you

I'm just going to bump it a bit i think i will bump it every time i update the site. It makes this topic a bit better.

minor update for the site is up not much but still a minor update!

a very very minor update but its a update

Updated the site again i'm getting faster at updating also i'm fixing little bugs also adding little things in.

Updated site again, its mainly a map fix/edit

Another update i'm getting back in to site development again so we may have a major update next year woo.

Another update! I think i have fixed all of the major bugs now (Probably not).

YAY lol A bit late to add this reply.
ALL IS GOOD IN THE WORLD OF TMz

Yeah, uploaded a new build to TechModdedZombies, I thought I fixed all the bugs but know I didn't lets hope I have now! Also i'm copy righted again, that would of been bad if someone realised. O_o

Updated the site to start the process again.

Hello! V4 is out. I hope you all enjoy it.

Wow Colm! The site is AWESOME looks sooo great! You finally made it to the top! =)

This is an awesome update! Nice job Colm.

Thanks, its taken some time, now waiting for the bugs to stream in.

The hardest part was trying to make it the same kind of layout, because it seems that no one likes to big of a change. I hate change so it will take me a while to get used to it. ;D

So now, Conny Bear can stay on?

Yes, i've finished the V4 update.
