hi.

I have some suggestions for the news file:

1. since the purpose of this news file is to update you, I think it would be good/ helpful to remove old news updates

i'm sure people who are on the site in 2017 don't care much for what went on in 2011 and 2012.

secondly it would be good if the news updates were dated

for example, people are going to see posts like, ZBP is not coming back, or someone won a raffle. and they will have no idea when it was posted

especially with the raffles.. I saw a post just now in the news file about someone winning a username change and a $10 amazon gift certificate, and new users would start asking oh really?. how can I enter these raffles

when the reality of it is, the news item wasn't even posted in 2017

just some thoughts

I heartily endorse these suggestions.

Makes sense to me.

Heck, why not remove the raffles altogether? There hasn't been one in years. I agree with these suggestions though.

at post 4, I personally think that when (if) the raffles ever happen, they should be for premium users only.

you know, premiums give to the site, so the zone is giving back to them

but if they don't return, then yes.

remove them, like they should with zone by phone

and to be honest, i've debated doing it with make a new friend.

Good suggestions.
I have suggested removing the in active CL's as well, and I was happy when that was done.
I feel it is an offense to the two working ones.
