establishing a replacement for this site

Category: Let's talk

Hi zoners:

I am promoting my own site on here. This site is on it's last leg and is probably
dying quickly. We don't actually know when the end is coming but we know it is
coming.

I have created and hope this can be a replacement. I want to help us all stay
together and find a site to use and frequent. there will be no games though
unless someone can code it for me somehow to fit under that type of board
system. anyhow. it's a bulletin board with a shout box so kind of like public
quick notes.

the forum is as follows:

the-friends-zone.freeforums.net

And you have the ability to actually build it, right?

Post 3 by Siriusly Severus (The ESTJ 1w9 3w4 6w7 The Taskmaste) on Friday, 05-Jan-2018 1:10:23

not from scratch but mostly yes, I am using their admin panel to play with
boards and categories.

rachel

we need a game board on that site

their won't be anagrams or anything, sure, but we can still have games in game parlor
message boards like that do it all the time

I would also suggest making it so that accounts are activated by you when people join.

yesterday, their were 8 guests online and some of those could be spammers trying to sign up, we don't know.

Hi all

First time I heare or should I say read the zone won't last long. It looks pretty fine to me. I mean there hasn't been any news that the website might have to be closed down. I could be wrong. Could've missed something.

Post 6 by Remy (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Friday, 05-Jan-2018 12:20:53

Louisa, it's seems to be only slightly founded speculation based on a few contributing factors and lots of concern spread by a few choice individuals.

Post 7 by Siriusly Severus (The ESTJ 1w9 3w4 6w7 The Taskmaste) on Saturday, 06-Jan-2018 6:40:55

yes, I have one listed down in my list I need to create, hmm I see, I don't know
whether they were spamers or not. but I agree about the games. If we get a
coder we may be able to invent something like that again.


Fine it's your choice to believe it or not but when it dies and you lose touch with
people.... Not my problem, I've tried to help and contribute to keep this
community together.

I say that something must be done, and quickly, this site isn't known for
reliability exactly is it, now?

Rachel, I maybe can help you with coding things, but first have to know what
type of coding is required.

Post 9 by forereel (Just posting.) on Saturday, 06-Jan-2018 8:17:35

Actually this site has been extremely reliable. Its been here for years.
Others have tried and failed. Hopefully, you'll succeed.
Smile.

the zone is going to close. It's fact. Also, notice that, though so many are complaining and mourning the loss of the zone, very few are interested in actually putting their own system together or even getting involved jointly with someone like Rachel. At least she's doing something!

Post 11 by forereel (Just posting.) on Saturday, 06-Jan-2018 13:34:16

I'm interested. Signed up even.
I'm wishing her all the luck, and once established, I'll support it even as I've done here for a long time.

eww free forums. That's a yucky platform. I say we all take over talking irc's web chat system at:
http://www.talkingirc.net

Post 13 by kool_turk (This site is so "educational") on Sunday, 07-Jan-2018 1:23:13

Talking irc is still around?

I'm asuming it's the same guys that use to run the old freedomchat network back in
the mid 2000s, and before that, accessible chat.

I haven't used irc in quite some time, mainly because I have yet to find a decent client
that will work with NVDA.

Post 14 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Sunday, 07-Jan-2018 17:37:24

but the web interface is great. No need for an irc client.

I'm looking for something that will have the anagrams I mean the long ines not the 100 words or less. I'm sorry if this site will go down cause it's the only one wih anagrams left.

Post 16 by donna p (Veteran Zoner) on Monday, 08-Jan-2018 13:43:29

I'm sorry to hear that this site is going down. I've ben coming here a long time. It's the only site with any anagrams. I especially like the 1000 or more possible words.

Post 17 by Pasco (my ISP would be out of business if it wasn't for this haven I live at) on Tuesday, 09-Jan-2018 2:28:38

The fact that only a few have responded is nnot an indicator that more are not interested. Not everyone reads the forums regularly. If the news could make an announcement it would help. I agree with the last poster, I would miss the anagrams a lot. For me, it is the speed anagrams I love. I have made some very close friends here, and so having a public and private chat function would be appreciated.

Post 18 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Tuesday, 09-Jan-2018 15:18:59

Good going, Rachel. I see there are options, and my hat's off to those who have made them.
All things must pass.

Post 19 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Tuesday, 09-Jan-2018 15:30:11

It is the way of life, I'm afraid.

Post 20 by vh (This site is so "educational") on Tuesday, 09-Jan-2018 16:35:31

Another vote for anagrams here. My preference is for the speed anagrams, but I like both.

Post 21 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Tuesday, 09-Jan-2018 16:43:48

I don't think they're spammers, after all you have to complete a captcha in order to register.

Post 22 by forereel (Just posting.) on Tuesday, 09-Jan-2018 20:22:01

I spoke about that vary thing.
A site that doesn't sell tickets, or have to control how many unit sell doesn't need one.
Next, this is a place for the blind, so why?

Post 23 by Svenja (don't need any!) on Thursday, 11-Jan-2018 8:28:32

not sure why you all have such problem clicking a single checkbox. Really, I din't get it.

Post 24 by forereel (Just posting.) on Thursday, 11-Jan-2018 18:07:18

Doesn't work all the time.
That is why.

Post 25 by ADVOCATOR! (Finally getting on board!) on Thursday, 11-Jan-2018 21:36:30

I really need to talk to someone who can get me in touch with someone that can make decisions about this site.
I have a question, but can't ask it publically, since I'm doing something for someone else, who asked for the information.
When my email gets fixed, I really need to talk to someon privately about this. I wish I could say more, but I can't.
Rachel if you can help, this may solve the Anagrams issues, but, I can't guarantee a thing. Just pqn me, and tell me if you have talked to anyone about this site. Even Anthony, pqn me, if you are on here.
Blessings,
Sarah

I think we have all heard the rumors of the cite going down. Whether it eventually
does or doesn't I think and alternative cite would be good. I would like to see games
but even a message board concept would be good to keep the connections and sharing
going. Thanks for giving this a try. I will certainly sign up.

Post 27 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Monday, 15-Jan-2018 13:12:59

You need to talk to someone who knows someone who can do something for someone?

Post 28 by Svenja (don't need any!) on Tuesday, 16-Jan-2018 4:46:34

sorry sarah, but since noone is able to get to the admins, whatever you want to do will fail.
