I loved the old ZA too, back at the time of the original ZT. Although, I joined in 2003, I don't think I could log on to ZA until 04 or 05 because of computer problems. But I was here since 03, possibly before (just didn't join then).

Yes, it was nice an' cozy. I was drifting through cyberspace when I found a website. DUN-DUN-DUN! it was zoo admin! I found it i think around 2002 or 2003 actually and only joined in 2006

Ah, the good old days. I was a member when Endangered Species was released... I was there when someone made the first ambient bullfrog... I found out when a model was first edited... and I am still a big fan of the series!

I know the thread is old but, who is the official owner/leader of ZA?

Penguino · « **Reply #154 on:** February 24, 2007, 08:36:41 AM »

George Bush.

I guess that depends on the way you look at it but the banners under the username is usually a sign to tell who's who.

But to be honest answer these questions and it will tell you who really owns any kind of forum site.

who asks the questions?
who answers the questions?
who provides the downloads?

the staff, the admins, the webmasters but most importantly the members. Because without all the members there is no site and this place would not be possible.

I think I remember the first time the original DD came out and I was around here at ZA.

Zoo Titan · « **Reply #157 on:** February 26, 2007, 02:19:47 PM »

I guessed maybe it was Texgnome but he isn't around very much...if it was about downloads, then RednotDead owns the place entirely.

Yellowrose · « **Reply #158 on:** February 26, 2007, 08:23:47 PM »

Anf you'd be only 1/2 right

Zoo Titan · « **Reply #159 on:** March 02, 2007, 05:16:00 AM »

So I'll guess you and (looks left)...(looks right)

(had to use that smilie

) so you and Mr. Gnome.

am I right?

Let's see... my memories... Well, I registered just a few days ago but I've been here a LONG time, just didn't register. Yup, it was pretty nice back then. But I know everyone's working hard to make this site just as cozy, if not more so, so I'm not worried.

Chimpinater · « **Reply #161 on:** March 02, 2007, 05:39:44 PM »

Ahh.... I remember when I first found this site on wikipedia. It was the best day of my life. :dancedog: :angel: :workout:

Fennec Nichov · « **Reply #162 on:** March 03, 2007, 01:48:03 AM »

Yes, yes! It was soooo fun when I first found this and thought "the best ZT site ever!"

Eagle One · « **Reply #163 on:** March 20, 2007, 07:37:45 PM »

I am happy to see zoo admin survie the closing of orgesnet

Zookreeper · « **Reply #164 on:** March 21, 2007, 10:41:55 AM »

Wow, so many names that I remember. It is good to see them post again. I'm also glad to hear that they are doing well. I joined in March 2004. My kids got ZTCC for Christmas 2003 and when I got laidoff in early 2004 I gave it a try to pass the time. I couldn't believe how frustated It got me! I looked up some sites to try to learn more about this game and found ZA. This place is unique and special. Through the threads the information I needed got through my thick head and I found I was enjoying this game. I did a show and tell thread for a while, and posted some of my zoos. Then I discovered ZA Mapmaker and a whole new area opened up for me. I would make a new map for every zoo I made. I even posted a few to the downloads to share with everyone. In my opinion this has always been the best ZT site on the net. I will also say that it currently is the warmest and friendliset of any gamming site on the net. I do not play ZT as much now as I did, although this was the start of my playing PC games. I want to say Thank You to LadyZ for her encouragement, not only to me but to every Zoobuilder she said "Keep building" to. Those two words provided a lot of "lift" to many. Also my complements to the Founders, Administrators, and Moderators for setting the tone here that made this a family friendly site. I never had to worry about my kids when they visited this site. A Thank You is also in order for the Contributors to this site. They are the ones who built the downloads section that is so arrtactive to players, the "bait" if you will that gets people to join this community. Most of the posts in this thread reflect that the member joined because of the user created content. Well I think I have run on long enough. My Best Wishes to ZA and the Staff!!

EagleOne--we are glad we survived too!! A very Big Thank You to Ogresnet, and to Ogre, for starting us off on the right foot more than 5 years ago, and for allowing The Staff to keep it going as its own new stand-alone site! Without the foresight of the Founders, past Administrators, Webmasters, Webmistresses, Moderators and Members there would not be a ZA today!! We love you ALL!!

Zookreeper...I'm so glad that you stopped by now that we're back up and running...please stop by again soon to say Howdy!! Ya know, another Show & Tell thread just might have your name on it soon...

You did build some of the neatest maps I had ever seen! :ty1:

Fenece Nichov is the only person I know who became a Zookeeper in 4 days!!!
Seriously I saw, he was making 25 posts per day!

orangemonkey22 · « **Reply #167 on:** March 23, 2007, 01:24:52 PM »

WOW, that's about the same average I had this summer.

Fennec Nichov · « **Reply #168 on:** March 23, 2007, 08:30:56 PM »

Whoa! I didn't know I was posting so much! Who'd expect a little fennec fox doing such a thing!?

Quivaz · « **Reply #170 on:** March 26, 2007, 07:54:46 PM »

keep the posting up. Just make sure you're on topic and the forums will flourish even more!

Seadragon · « **Reply #171 on:** March 26, 2007, 08:00:43 PM »

I remember getting downloads for the old, old game of zt1 here... i cant believe i only joined in 2006...
then again... i never even knew they had a forum!

Zoo Titan · « **Reply #172 on:** March 27, 2007, 05:16:42 AM »

Oh boy Fennec always posts on topic, he'll probably set the record for becoming a MOD faster than anybody else!!

Edit: Please do not keep posting references to other members postings in this topic. This is for ZA memories from the past, not a cheerleading topic. Thank you! LadyZ

Fennec Nichov · « **Reply #173 on:** March 27, 2007, 07:30:43 AM »

Thanks Zoo Titan... Now let's get back on topic!

Zoo Titan · « **Reply #174 on:** March 28, 2007, 01:15:48 PM »

Yes...ahem, of course.

I dont' think I've been here long enough to know any real ZA history, I just know that I was reading these forums 6 months before I joined, and I joined about a month-and-a-half before the site moved.
