==Gaming==
5punk comprises of two parts, the forum and the games. Banter is a large part of what 5punk is about, and it takes place in both and often overlaps. In game this is made more fluid by most of us using Teamspeak.

The games that are played come and go quite quickly as people try new ones then tire of them. However, some do endure and can earn a regular slot on the 5cheduler for months or years. The best way to see which games are being played at the moment is to look at the 5cheduler. The best way to see which games are being played regularly is to check back through the 5cheduler. A lazy way to check which games are being played is to look at the sections below.

===Games currently popular===
These are the games that will probably be in the 5cheduler right now, and have the highest chance of anyone playing at any given time.

*[[Call of Duty 4]]
*[[EVE]]
*[[Team Fortress 2| Team Fortress 2]]
*[[City of Heroes]]

===Old Favourites===
These games may not have many people playing regularly, but will probably draw some interest if scheduled.

*[[Battlefield 2]]
*[[counterstrike | Counter Strike: Source]]
*[[Call of Duty: United Offensive]]

===Other games===
Many games come and go, often being played by only a couple of people. Sometimes interest will flare if somebody raises ones profile again, sometomes not. The [[Other Games | other games]] section has a list of games that certain 5punkers may be interested in playing.

===Regularly scheduled games===
Most evenings some of us will be playing something, and watching Xfire and the 5cheduler is the best way to spot when they're happening. Certain favourites have set slots, although the exact flavour of the game can vary (CoD:UO/CoD2/CoD4, BF2/BF2142 etc):

*'''Monday:''' Nothing set
*'''Tuesday:''' [[Call of Duty]]
*'''Wednesday:''' [[Source]]
*'''Thursday:''' [[Battlefield]]
*'''Friday:''' Random drunken gaming night
*'''Saturday:''' Nothing set
*'''Sunday:''' Nothing set

===Browser games===
Many 5punkers play one or more of several web-based MMO games. These don't get scheduled but are popular nontheless due to the way they are played.

====[http://www.urbandead.com UrbanDead]====
Inconspicuous browser based MMORPG set in the zombie apocalypse, easily played at lunch time at work. 5punkers tend to gravitate towards pubs, occasionally organising excursions such as the Malton Pub Crawl in order to bring sunshine to the lives (or undeaths, as the case may be) of human and zombie alike.

====[http://www.shartak.com Shartak]====
A Browser based MMPORG set on a desert island, Featuring Outsiders, Pirates and natives. It's awesome, you should all be playing it.
5punkers currently involved in lots of 5punky plans, as per usual.

Quite similar to Urban dead, likely because the maker was inspired by urbandead.

====[http://www.atorian.com Atorian]====
Another inconspicuous browser based game. Set at some point in the future 5punkers in this game are purely self-defensive, but since there's always someone trying to take our planets we never stop fighting.

====[http://www.travian.co.uk Travian]====
Romans, Gauls and Germans (Teutons), all building villages, cities and eventually nations while fighting it out in a browser. 5punkers (well, currently Grimmie, Buzz and Fab) are peaceful in this as well, mainly because the bigger alliances can cause pain.

===Beardy tabletop games===
A few 5punkers have clubbed together to recreate pen-and-paper RPGs over the internet. A few experiments have been tried, but generally it seems to have come off best using Skype but otherwise staying as it was intended.

====[[SLA_Industries| SLA Industries]]====
Beardier than Brian Blessed dunked in a vat of testosterone, a Dungeons & Dragonsesque pen and paper RPG - but played over the internet. SLA Industries is an urban horror roleplaying game set in dark futuristic universe called the World of Progress. The World of Progress spans thousands of worlds, most of which are ruled by the ubiquitous SLA Industries. SLA Industries is a giant megacorporation, the virtually unchallenged power in the World of Progress. Players play the part of Operatives - freelance agents who take jobs from SLA to protect the public and the company.

====[[Shadowrun| Shadowrun]]====
As the above, top beardy action. Run in a world thats kinda like traditional fantasy meets bladerunner.

==Servers==

Fabyak: /* Team RO-BO */

===What is 5punk?===

''"5punk - the gaming equivalent of a kickaround in the park"''

'''[http://www.5punk.co.uk 5punk]''' is a friendly community of gamers based on the ethic of playing for fun hence the title.

Basically we play for fun, get on well with like minded gamers and have good laugh in the process.

We also run our own [[Bukkake|gameserver]], as this allows us to switch games we host easily depending on what's popular.

====Who is 5punk?====

'''FatherJack (Overlord of [http://www.5punk.co.uk 5punk]):'''

After Woo Elephant Yeah stepped down in May 2007, the status of Overlord was passed to FatherJack by the [http://www.5punk.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7126 ruling council].

'''Woo Elephant Yeah (Founder of [http://www.5punk.co.uk 5punk]):'''

"Well one day I decided it would be a good idea to get like minded 'b3tans' ([http://b3ta.com '''b3ta''']) to all play online games together. Since then there's been no looking back, and 5punk has now turned into an active online gaming community for all ages and types of people.
You do not have to be a member of b3ta to join 5punk, as it's an open gaming community, it's just that b3ta is historically a root for people to come here."

====Where is 5punk?====

If they're not gaming or forum whoring at '''http://www.5punk.co.uk''' ...then they must be at the [http://www.5punk.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3079&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 '''pub'''].

====Why 5punk?====

This is at least partly related to the being an offspring of b3ta.com

The use of a number in the place of a letter started with b3ta, but was taken up by 4rthur, 5punk, just as a nod to our roots.

[http://www.b3ta.com/talk/64446 Thread where the name was decided.]

====How do you pronounce 5punk?====

Spunk - a slang term for male ejaculate.
Not five-punk

===Games we often play===

*[[Battlefield 2]]
*[[Battlefield 2142]]
*[[Counterstrike|Counter Strike: Source]]
*[[Call of Duty| Call of Duty: United Offensive]]
*[[EVE]]
*[[Other Games| List of other games]] - These are less popular games, but still have a following in 5punk

The games we play change reasonably often, and we always try new games but tend to get bored of them pretty quickly if it's nothing special.

However [[Battlefield 2|BF2]], [[Counterstrike| CS:S]], [[Call of Duty|CoD:UO]] and [[EVE]] are our staple games with a strong, and in the case of Eve, militant following (No, really. Those EVE players are nuts).

==== When does 5punk play? ====

We play games most evenings, generally using a set schedule of games during the week and random games as and when they happen using Xfire.

*'''Monday:''' Nothing set
*'''Tuesday:''' [[Call of Duty]]
*'''Wednesday:''' [[Counterstrike| Counter Strike: Source]]
*'''Thursday:''' [[Battlefield 2142]]
*'''Friday:''' [[CoH/CoV| City of Heroes]]
*'''Saturday:''' Nothing set
*'''Sunday:''' Nothing set

====More info about the games we play====

===== [[Battlefield 2]] =====

Our BF2 addiction has been gaining power since release, often getting 8+ players for our scheduled games on thursdays.

We pooled our funds and rented our own ranked BF2 server, which could be found [http://www.game-monitor.com/GameServer/81.19.208.85:16567/5punk.co.uk_-_Get_some_on_you.html Here] but can't now, so there.

===== [[Battlefield 2142]] =====

Though not widely accepted by the 5punk community it has a fairly dedicated following of a few regular players.

===== [[Call of Duty|Call of Duty: United Offensive]] =====

AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS CANNON
(And you can shoot stuff.)

We use a lot of custom maps which can be downloaded [http://files.hairy-arse.com/CallofDuty/Maps.rar Here]

===== [[CoH/CoV| City of Heores / City of Villains]] =====

A nonspecific Superhero comic based MMO that is slowly gaining popularity on 5punk. Not particularly deep, but combined with Teamspeak is often highly amusing.

CoH and CoV are two seperate games with a slight overlap - bought seperately but one subscription fee for both, playing as either a hero or a villain. The two overlap in certain PvP areas, and owning both offers certain advantages for players on either side.

===== [[Counterstrike| Counter Strike: Source]] =====

omg! hax

===== [[EVE]] =====

One of the most absorbing and involved MMOs around, EVE differs greatly from others in that grind does not increase your skillpoints as training is based purely on time. Grind will earn you isk (in-game currency) and allow you to buy new skills to fly new ships, fit new LASERS!

In-depth details on the game can be found here in [http://www.5punk.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2305 Wiggy's EVE review]

The 5punk community in EVE is based around the fantastic 5punkorp (think Guild), based on the ideals of bumming, more bumming, freedom and the spirit of fun! (But mostly bumming. - Wig)

They also have a ship set-ups page [[http://www.5punk.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Ship_fitting_Frontpage Here]]

===== [[OFP| Operation Flashpoint & Armed Assault]] =====

OFP is one of the older but still one of the best modern era FPS's out there. OPF focuses more on low level tactics than MMO's like BEEF and requires thought, teamwork and combined arms cooperation to achieve mission success. It is set apart from the competition by a large and active community who continue to produce new vehicles, weapons, maps and mods 5 years after it was first released. The recently released sequel, Armed Assault, is very similar in intent but fixed alot of the grievances that were present in the original. It promises to continue the success of the series and retain popularity in the modding community.

There's a 5punky mod database which will list any mods that we have on our server and in the missions that we create. Mod database can be found [[http://www.5punk.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=ArmaMods Here]]

===== [[SWAT 4| SWAT 4 - The Stetchkov Syndicate]] =====

Oldish Tactical first person shooter, slow paced, challenging to play well, but still fun.

===== [http://www.urbandead.com UrbanDead] =====

Inconspicuous browser based MMORPG set in the zombie apocalypse, easily played at lunch time at work. 5punkers tend to gravitate towards pubs, occasionally organising excursions such as the Malton Pub Crawl in order to bring sunshine to the lives (or undeaths, as the case may be) of human and zombie alike.

===== [http://www.shartak.com Shartak] =====

A Browser based MMPORG set on a desert island, Featuring Outsiders, Pirates and natives.

Quite similar to Urban dead, likely because the maker was inspired by urbandead.

===== [http://www.atorian.com Atorian] =====

Another inconspicuous browser based game. Set at some point in the future 5punkers in this game are purely self-defensive, but since there's always someone trying to take our planets we never stop fighting.

===== [[SLA_Industries| SLA Industries]] =====

Beardier than Brian Blessed dunked in a vat of testosterone, a Dungeons & Dragonsesque pen and paper RPG - but played over the internet. SLA Industries is an urban horror roleplaying game set in dark futuristic universe called the World of Progress. The World of Progress spans thousands of worlds, most of which are ruled by the ubiquitous SLA Industries. SLA Industries is a giant megacorporation, the virtually unchallenged power in the World of Progress. Players play the part of Operatives - freelance agents who take jobs from SLA to protect the public and the company.

===== [[Shadowrun| Shadowrun]] =====

As the above, top beardy action. Run in a world thats kinda like traditional fantasy meets bladerunner.

===== [[Team Fortress 2| Team Fortress 2]] =====
omg! sentries

===5punk Archives===

As well as discussion that directly relates to our games, 5punkers also deposit a lot of information within the pages and threads. To aid in finding the information held in these often rambling threads they are archived below.

====[[Cookbook|Geekfood]]====

Threads about food have proved very popular on 5punk, and many recipies have been posted in various threads. A full catalogue of these recipies can be found [[Cookbook|here]].

====Reviews====

5punk has a wealth of gamers of all levels and experience. This makes for an excellent testing ground for most games, and as such we have a reviews forum so that we can share our experiences. Many 5punkers have admitted to trusting the reviews of their fellow gamers to those of magazines. An index of our reviews can be found [[Reviews|here]].

===Site Admins===

'''Woo Elephant Yeah''' - Site Creator

Often referred to as Wey, or Woo (which can be confusing)
5punk is Wey's Baby, as, oddly enough, is Wey's baby.
He is still amazed at how a simple idea has evolved into this rather active gaming community. In May 2007 WEY declared that he was standing down as site owner due to his ever increasing family commitments, but he's still the Daddy of our little family.

'''FatherJack''' - Site Owner

When WEY stepped down as site owner, FatherJack offered to take up the responsibility. It was agreed unanimously, first among the admins and later among the site members, that our foul-mouthed cleric was ideal for the job and with him he has brought new ideas, skills and enthusiasm.

'''Stoat''' - Site Admin

Mustela erminea
Our very own php jedi, Coded the Scheduler and the Discussion board.
Stoat has been there since the birth of 5punk, and without him, we wouldn't have any of the things we have.

'''Dog Pants''' - Site Moderator

After watching his posts for some time, WEY decided to ask Dog Pants to join the 5punk admin team.
Dog Pants has done a wonderful job moderating 5punk's forum, and has helped influence a lot of the recent decisions/suggestions for 5punk.
He can usually be found stumbling around groaning in Urban Dead, or watching Zombie flicks at home.

'''Spoodie''' - Site Moderator/Admin

With more and more of WEY's time being tied up at home, and with the site growing bigger all the time, Spoodie was asked to join the admin team. His calm presence on the forums and web-savvy has allowed him to alleviate the pressure the other admins were beginning to feel and has proved very capable in a crisis.
Spoodie is master of the Impact Text Kittens, and has seen every film, ever.

'''Dr. Kitteny Berk''' - Game Server ([[Bukkake]]) Owner

Quote from WEY:
Abrupt, Rude and quite possibly Obnoxious, Berk speaks his mind and what you see is what you get.
You know where you stand with Berk, and he's the first to admit that. However, without him, 5punk would never have lifted off the ground in the way that it has, and his continuous work, help, time & money has got Bukkake up and running, along with the Shoutcast radio shows as well.
He's the unsung hero, but more a hero without the shiny long blonde hair and chiseled jaw, more of a dark shadowy figure lurking in the corner fixing servers and swearing repeatedly at things whilst snarling.
So to sum up *thinks about words carefully again*, even though Berk can be a bit of a sarcastic foul mouthed bastard, we love him in our very own special way.

= General information =

* Make the title of the post as relevant as possible. Titles like "weird problem" or "fucking computer" are less helpful than "blue screen problem", "suspected virus" or "PC will not switch on"
* Give as much information as possible about your problem and whatever steps you've taken so far to solve it. If you don't do this this, you may waste time waiting for advice that you've already thought of and done.
* If it's a purchasing question, be sure to give the specifications of what you want and a budget.
* If errorz are given please written them down exactly, including all fiddly numbers, letters and CDC's. Screenshots are also acceptable.

== Suspected malware/virus/etc ==

* Do a virus scan! http://www.5punk.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=884 is still relevant.
* wait 5 minutes after booting, then go to a command prompt and type

tasklist /V >C:\tasklist.txt

then show us the textfile created on your C drive called tasklist.txt.
It helps to put it in [code] and [/code] tags for readability on the forums.

* Download [http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php HijackThis] and run it, it's self installing.
** Click the button labelled '''Do a system scan''' and '''save a logfile'''.
** HijackThis will quickly scan your system, and then open two new windows. The results of the HijackThis scan, and hijackthis.log in Notepad. Save hijackthis.log. By default it will be saved to C:\HijackThis, or you can chose “Save As…”, and save to another location.
** Hijackthis.log contains the info that’s required to receive analysis and assistance. Highlight the entire contents. Copy and paste the contents into your post, along with a complete description of your problem(s).(again put it in [code] and [/code] tags for readability) DO NOT fix anything. Wait for help.

== Hardware ==

* If you don't know what hardware you have you can use [http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html SIW] then select '''File > Create Log File'''. This will export the hardware and software information about your system and product a file. If you need to share the file and have no other means then try https://www.dropboks.com/ with un: 5punksiw@5punk.co.uk pw: 5punksiw

== General Troubleshooting ==
[http://www.devhardware.com/forums/operating-systems-18/nilpo-s-ultimate-windows-troubleshooting-and-security-guide-81837.html General Troubleshooting Guide]

====BSODs====
Blue Screens Of Death are evil, but generally not '''that''' much trouble, as they can usually be pinned down to Memory issues or Graphics card Driver or heat issues.

Unfortunately, the best way to work it out is by looking at the bsod (assuming it stays up long enough) Note it down (or get a photo) then google it, you'll usually be able to work out what the issue is by what the BSOD says.

====Memory Issues.====
Do memtest, leave it for a while, if no issues, swear and maybe consider timings and voltages.

====Graphics issues.====
Do Atitool (works on nvidia cards) check how hot the card gets

Aquire a copy of drivercleaner, follow the instructions to nuke graphics drivers.

=== Just not working (Failing to post) ===
First thing to do is to listen. Hopefully you'll hear some beeps, which you can look up in your motherboard manual to identify the issue (Typically 8 short beeps signifies a problem with memory, 3 beeps is normally graphics card not seated properly).

If you get no beeps at all, reset your bios/cmos (will be covered in the manual, usually requires moving a jumper or removing the battery)

If that didn't help, it's likely there's a hardware issue, remove everything but cpu and keyboard (remember to remove USB drives etc too)

If it beeps, add memory and try again. (once cpu and ram is in, the machine should post right, (usually a single happy beep) Repeat this adding hardware 1 part at a time, working from most important to least important. once it breaks, remove the last item and feed it to your laser eyed sharks.
