A long time ago, not so far far away....
« Reply #50 on: October 06, 2006, 01:54:03 AM »
Here is my little history.

I joined in May 2004. I didn't lurk much before I joined. Aussie and Loewenfrau were Admins back then. I also remember getting warned two times for too much lines in my signature (You see there is still hope for all of you :laughing: ).
I decided to join mostly because of the Show and Tell topics. I too wanted to share what I had made and also a reason for me to join was that I could upkeep my English this way.
After a few months I was invited into one of the secret corners of ZA (drinks are served by LZNY) and I was so excited about that.....
Later I hooked up with Frinkyman and we did some projects together (Maybe some of you remember the "Mr Knowitall" adventures. In these projects Frinkyman provided the maps and I made the zoos and the stories).
I was asked to become a Mod and after Aussie and Loewenfrau left this site in the care of Texgnome1, Casey and James24, I was asked to join the Admin staff along with Yellowrose and RedNotDead.
Lately I have been focussing on making the calendar and wallpaper as well as a whole bunch of avatars for this site, which I hope you all enjoy. I can't design I can do graphics.

All I can add is: I have my best friends among the staff and members of this wonderfull site.

A day without ZA is day wasted.
Also I want to say :sign_than to the ones who stood by me in difficult times in March 2005 (the ones I mean know who I am talking about).

:IloveZA:

Nice to meet you Eagle One! (though my Doom Flibbles have yet to meet you...)

I've not been here for very long but have enjoyed the site immensely : :) :

I joined the site last year on New Years Eve, looking for help on an ES scenario for ZT2.
I was impressed by the friendly atmosphere and inspired by the show and tells to create my own. After being invited to be a mod I jumped at the chance, eager to be a part of this wonderful site.
I've made many friends here and I'm sure as time goes on will make many more.

Happy 5th Anniversary ZA! Here's to many years to come! :IloveZA:

Reginasunrae and Pixel came after this person.   Pixel took a long time to convince to become a moderator at the  site

Oh, Ocelot! I remember him now! Sad to say, I never knew him very well.

Actually, his account is still [member=42]there[/member], but the post count has been wiped when we switched forums...

Coeur de Lion was here much later; I should know, I even gave him a warning. : :P : Can't quite remember what it was for, though.
