You're supposed to put the save in the save folder somewhere in your copy of DF.

And you should put this in either the upper forum's community game sub-forum, or General Discussion on the upper forums.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

1. Get WinRAR or 7zip or another rar/zip opening program, which you probably have since you said you unzipped it. Then extract it into the init/save folder in your Dwarf Fortress folder.
2. You could ask in Community Games (where the succession games are), DF General Discussion (it's about DF), here (you can pretty much discuss anything here), Life Advice (kind of stretching it but it IS a question for us), or DF Gameplay Questions (it involves playing? also a stretch).
