The subject says it all. What's your favorite activity on the zone?

Conversing through quick notes?
Conversing through the boards?
Playing games?
etc. etc. You get my drift.

My favorite thing is reading and posting on the boards. What's yours.

Hello Bob.

Like you, I enjoy the boards quite a bit.

Black Jack and High Low are also quite a bit of fun.

I love quicknotes, both public and private. I'm usually a very active part in public conversations when I'm here.

I enjoy reading and getting involved in discussions on the boards, and I also love the anagram games.

I like reading and posting to the Boards too, and playing the word games. And I also like seeing what's in the raffles section and spending my points on some of them. *smile* I like that we have that now.

Early Christmas shopping? <lol>

Hello, for me, it would be looking at the boards, and chatting through quicknotes.

I love reading the boards and going on Graffiti. I have public QN's off as they tend to clutter up the screen, but privates are on, smile! My favorite game is Anagram Mania and I haven't been on the TT server in ages! Gotta get my ass back on there!

I like talking to chicks that I'm never gunna see or meat because they all live 3 million miles away...

I enjoy reading and posting to the boards and playing the anagram games.

Post 12 by blbobby (Ooo you're gona like this!) on Wednesday, 16-Nov-2011 7:20:06

Well, there are the points to think of.
A couple of years ago I lost my ass in a point reshuffle (all 'cause I didn't attend the big anniversary fest in January), and was back to a couple of thousand points.

From that time onward I've been obsessed with points. Even cheering when I won at hangman, not for winning, but for the 25 points I would get.

Last week, someone (kris from Belgem) and I got to chatting on private qns and he gave me a bunch of points. (I felt like a moocher, but sure didn't turn them down). <lol> Thanks Kris.

Since then I've learned that it takes points to make points.

Another thing I do when I log on to the zone is to check the happy birthdays for today and tomorrow. If the person is logged on I'll send them a qn and, if I feel cheritable, some points.

Anyway, that's some other things I like to do.

Bob

QN's, anagrams, and boards, mostly. Every once in a while, I'll play "Who Said That, Big Mouths, Blingo, or Stones...but I have to be reeeeeally bored XD

Post 14 by LittleSneezer (The Zone-BBS is my prison, but I like it here.) on Thursday, 17-Nov-2011 21:26:51

Melissa, I didn't know about Big Mouths until you mentioned it here. That will be fun to play once in a while. I just tried it and discovered I'm actually better at it than I thought I would be, though that's probably because it's multiple choice. Oh, and I like to play trivia once in a while too.

It depends when it is and what I feel like. The boards are great for my amusment. I like to see what stupid things people post and how my alergic eacons would catch flames. It amuses me sometimes with all this hate on here. I only do that when I am bored enough and feel up to some amusement.

I also like private quicknotes, it helps me keep in touch with people, I suppose, and now mostly the good crowd.

I also love anagram mania and speed but they can get old, and I can get tired of those, there's spells of days that I just don't play them because everytime I play them I feel like blah. so I get out. it's like I want to play but yet, it's too boring for me. and playing them everyday or every hour really gets boring. It gets kind of tiring and pointless.

Rafel is fun when I have a ton of points. I like to gamble them, and besides it's points not real money so I ain't too worried about losing them but the prizes are always rather cool.

hmm.... well I also like the /tweet feature sometimes I just come on here to tweet or while I am doing something I tweet. I have twitter so......

I am a big fan of both zbp and tt. so I go on both and alk to people and get to know them.

I also like browsing audio profiles and leaving comments. sometimes it's amusing to see just how riddiculous they can become.

I like browsing profiles as well.

I also like the randomizer on the voicemail system, it's always amusing to see who I actually get.



I use to like mastermind, I still do but I get bored of it easily, it's a quick way to get points. erm..... when I was a premium member I loooooved the quicknote history. that was great could retrieve messages and everything.

and, oh I like my friends on here, so that's always a plus.

i like the boards and sometimes the anagram games.

i try to get at least 10 anagrams a day

qns are good, providing good people are on

Post 17 by Rain Drop (Generic Zoner) on Friday, 23-Dec-2011 6:46:22

I came to the site for the anagram games. But, been here for a bit and yes enjoy the boards and got to play blackjack a little. It is also nice getting to know other blind people from all over the world. I grew up sited and just went blind in 2007 so a whole new life for me.

Post 18 by little foot (Zone BBS is my Life) on Saturday, 14-Jan-2012 9:50:33

This is little foot and when I come on here I like to look at the boards to see how people are doing or to see what is going on here.
I also like to play some of the games on her,.
I also like to get new people people, parents and things not many guys don't like talking to that much only if there is something good or worthy to talk about with them.

Post 19 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Saturday, 14-Jan-2012 12:09:54

posting to the boards, and anagrams are what I like coming on here for.

Post 20 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Saturday, 14-Jan-2012 13:40:24

I must say that I enjoy the boards though I like quicknotes as well.

Post 21 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Saturday, 14-Jan-2012 15:42:55

Well this is the first online community of blind people I have come in contact, first community of them I guess you'd say, as in real life none of us run tinto very many.
So the boards have been educational in some way, fun in others.
And I have grown to like Quicknotes over the years: just taken my name out of the randomizer and turned off the log in / out messages they are more sane.

Post 22 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Saturday, 14-Jan-2012 17:45:37

I also like private quicknotes, cause they allow me to keep in touch with those I wouldn't otherwise.

Post 23 by burak (Zone BBS Addict) on Thursday, 19-Jan-2012 7:48:43

Hi, and sorry for double posting.
I think labling works like that:
You go to an unlabled link, or thing, I don't know.
Then, choose the lable option.
Then I think, it will want a lable that will be placed to the thing.
Type it and press enter.
Note:
Those are only my apinions.

Post 24 by burak (Zone BBS Addict) on Thursday, 19-Jan-2012 7:49:42

Sorry, very much! I was forget which topic I was in, because the zone went down. Sorry again!

Post 25 by burak (Zone BBS Addict) on Thursday, 19-Jan-2012 7:51:25

when it comes to what I like to do in the zone, I usually post something to the boards. I like chatting also, but I do not know many people, so I do not chat so often. I also liked the team talk server.

Post 26 by changedheart421 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Friday, 20-Jan-2012 19:08:15

My activities have changed. When I first got here it was qn's and finding people I knew. This was back in 05. Now that I am older and wiser lol it is only the boards and some pqn's with people I know. I will say though wow how this site has evolved as far as peoples different personality go.

Post 27 by rusty81 (Zone BBS is my Life) on Friday, 20-Jan-2012 22:36:07

I only come here for the boards, specially the tech stuff, + I don't know anyone here personally.

Post 28 by burak (Zone BBS Addict) on Saturday, 21-Jan-2012 14:07:28

It is very boring to don't know any people. How can you do without knowing any people?

Post 29 by Inspired Chick (Zone BBS Addict) on Saturday, 21-Jan-2012 15:27:34

I like to chat and just look on the boards sometimes.

Post 30 by rusty81 (Zone BBS is my Life) on Sunday, 22-Jan-2012 2:33:06

@ burak, I mean, most people here came from the US or UK and I'm from the Philippines, so I don't know anyone here personally.
i'm friendly but shy.
