Category: Let's talk
A fruitless question perhaps, but: Even as every leaf has its own history, or every breath of wind has its own start; even as every flower has its own beginning as a blossom, or every drop of water has its own source: so too, do we Zone BBS members all have a reason for having joined the community. Whether we were introduced to it by a friend, ran across it via another site, or found it through a search engine, we all have different circumstances. How were you introduced to the Zone BBS?
i was introduced to the zone by bmisch2000
Admin told me I had to sign up or he'd take my anal verginity.
Lol BG .. actually I saw it on Liams user name in 03 so thought I'd have a bit of a look at it :)
Hot braille had kind of died, and a friend of mine mentioned this new site which had some similar features. I signed up, visited a few times, and forgot about it for a long time. About 4 months ago through some newly made friends, I came back and have been very active ever since.
I had been on another set of Boards that was also mainly directed towards the Blind/VI when Caitlin from The Zone here would make a visit from time to time and give encouragement to visit here and to share...I decided to take her up on her offer.
ah good old Caitlin! my little sis! :)
I used to be on HotBraille which died. Then I got info about eyes2eyes and their e-pals board. But it is boring as hell with only about half a dozen active members. Someone on there mentioned the zone, and I have been hooked ever since.
My friend Megan (user 346) introduced me to the zone which she'd discovered a few months before. Since then I've been hooked and discovered that I have a lot of other friends on here too. And yes, doing anagrams with other people is really fun and increases your score.
Let's see if I can explain how I was introduced to this site. Hmm... It started with this person who knew one of my friends who knew me. That didn't make sense but... let's move along. I was basically introduced to this site by a chain of my friends. Frankly, I'm glad I was introduced to this place because now I have so many friends.
it's funny cos this originally wasn't meant to be a specifically blindy site but I guess it has become that Lol
I was on the chatting for the blind email list, where they talk about accessible chat programs, and someone was asking about hot braille, and someone else said there wassomething much better, so I joined mostly out of curiosity. I'm not much of a game person, and though I feel I'm a bit old for the boards, voice chat is dying, and dying, and my connection has slowed down, so message boards are easier, because text and message boards don't care how slow your internet connection is. I'm not in the right age range to be really really hooked, but it's ok.

My mom signed me up on my 14th birthday... and that's all she wrote. Then, I got a ton of people to join--Tim (trssharp), Tony (saiyan4414), Johnathon (Picard)... and some others, I think.
I used to be on HotBraille, and when that site went down, I found Eyes2Eyes. But like someone already mentioned, that site has very few active members. Someone posted the link to this site over there, and I've been here ever since.
J: look at this thing I made. oh and can you answer some php questions?
J: can you answer some more php questions?
J: can you help me with user logins?
etc. etc. etc.
Ya J sucks!!
well...i was introduced to this site by a friend her username is niblet17 user [1100] but she is not my friend anymore and she is a bitch. But mainly that is the person that I was introduced by.
I too used to be on hotbraille, anyway, I have Canadian_deeva on my live journal friend's list. She linked to the site a few times in her journal so I checked it out, and so the storry gos on.
The Puggle mentioned it was worth a look, yonks ago, and I didn't think of it again til 3 am one morning in the midst of an insomniac, procrastination session. I was around back in the Hotbraille days, but didn't really keep in touch with anyone after it went down, so I spent my first week on the Zone poking people with "Are you ....?" "Do you remember me....?"
Well, i first heard of the zone by the user fabolous last august. So i've been here ever since and met lots of great people!
was watching a site who gave links for accessible games. after some 3 or 400 times that I saw the link to this site I tried it
I had used to be on Hotbraille, and after that went down, Sullidog informed me about Eyes2Eyes. Then someone mentioned the Zone on a discussion there, so I wanted to check it out and soon decided to give it a try and have been here ever since. I still go to Eyes2Eyes to read articles, but I don't log in as often.

someone from school told me about it.
An acquaintance from a For-The-People group mentioned the Zone in Fall 2004, and, here I be.
I also was a HotBraille user and was on E-Pals and I had heard of the Zone and decided to check it out and after the anagrams were added, I started coming back more because I love complicated word games, heehee
I think it may have been mentioned on ACB Radio, and that's how I heard of it.
A simple story... hehehee. I think I was slightly drunk, and I was at internet_king's, half asleep, and he was on this website. I said I'd check it out, not thinking that I probably ever would, and found myself bored two days later, and thought I'd come an have a look. Here I am.
Hi. I heard about this sight from someone on Freedom chat, so I thought i'de hav a look at it. It feels alright to me so far. Smiles
I don't remember how I found this great place
wow, must have been good! :) haha
I heard about it from a person that I used to talk to online.
as for me i heard of it through carly(zippy. then i got some others to join to! quiz kid lisa.burgess and some other ones
Well, a very special person introduced me to this site. The user Fabolous, when we met in England. And I have been a user here for almost one year and I still love it.
