why is there a new zone title, and why is it written in a way that makes no sense whatsoever?

I agree with Garret, seems a bit pointless to me.

Isn't it a song title? I kind of like it actually.

The Zone BBS - I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired



I liked it the way it was. The new title sounds way too lame.



I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired

It is indded a lyric, from a song. It's Match Box 20's lyrics to the song I'm Not Crazy. Check the song lyrics out for yourself if you haven't heard the song. I saw this and I reconised the lyric.



It's the admin's site, it's his choice to do what he wishes. But I'm curious to know why he did what he did to the title.

I think it's kind of funny myself. I mean, we're all a little impaired. Sort of makes you think.

Yeah, and also ... I mean "Games, community and more" describes it better to someone who comes on here the first time than that new title.

Post 7 by Pure love (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Sunday, 11-Jun-2006 7:09:41

But I agree with Caitlin: It's quite funny and despite what I said before ... hey, it's a change. So why not? At least it tells that the users are all a little impaired!!

I don't quite get the point of the new Zone title it sounds a bit to tacky for a title but then again it does humor me a bit. I guess I can live with the change.

Post 9 by Pure love (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Sunday, 11-Jun-2006 7:16:20

Same here.

Post 10 by yankee g wolverine (Account disabled) on Sunday, 11-Jun-2006 10:26:46

well yes, it's humorous, but it doesn't make sense. I mean, the word structure at least, doesn't make sense!

Garrit, does anything ever make sense to you? lol jk I think its kind of funny myself lol something different.

Post 12 by yankee g wolverine (Account disabled) on Sunday, 11-Jun-2006 11:17:13

lol nicole, of course things make sense to me, just not that title!

Post 13 by blbobby (Ooo you're gona like this!) on Sunday, 11-Jun-2006 15:26:12

Saw it yesterday, said "what?" and went right on posting. No big deal to me.

Post 14 by Jess227 on Sunday, 11-Jun-2006 17:57:17

As annoying as it might seem, it's just a title. Even though it doesn't make sense, it's just a title. Looks like it's here to stay. Just give it time, you'll get use to it.

Post 15 by rat (star trek rules!) on Sunday, 11-Jun-2006 20:16:50

and how about the new one? just noticed it a minute or so ago.

Post 16 by Jess227 on Sunday, 11-Jun-2006 21:11:03

Yeah lol I noticed it.



The Zone BBS - Caution, Drama Ahead



Ok, but what does that have to do with the site? Drama is everywhere. Why not just call it The Zone BBS and leave it like that? Or The Zone BBS, a place for friends, relaxation and entertainment? Or something along the line as the zone is for more then just the boards, it's entertainment and relaxation with games and socialization with friends on Quick Notes or Ventrilo.

What's wrong with a little creativity? Come on people, deal with it.

Post 18 by TheIceMaster (http://www.myjuggalospace.com/Iced_Hatchetman) on Monday, 12-Jun-2006 3:05:33

I find it rather amusing. If the admins have not done so already maybe they could setup a random script to change it periodicly. Seeing as they already have randomizing code in place. Just modify it a little.

Post 19 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Monday, 12-Jun-2006 6:37:31

Or The Zone BBS, the drama pool awaits you!

Post 20 by yankee g wolverine (Account disabled) on Monday, 12-Jun-2006 13:09:39

at least the new one describes the zone accurately

Post 21 by Jess227 on Monday, 12-Jun-2006 13:10:56

Why not allow all members to be able to customize their own titles? The start page should just show The Zone BBS. When you go to the account settings put a fields in where you'd like to customize the title and sub title. And when submitted the title chan change to whatever you want.

I noticed the titles, but I didn't really pay much attention to them, but now that I read this topic, I have to agree with what Ines said. I think the old one was better. It described that the zone had games, etc. so, to someone who's never been here before, it would be better than what's there now.

Post 23 by blbobby (Ooo you're gona like this!) on Monday, 12-Jun-2006 17:02:36

I think we should be able to change other people's title. Then you'd see the hair fly around here.

Post 24 by Twinklestar09 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Tuesday, 13-Jun-2006 13:24:12

I thought the first title change was weird, but I like this newest one: "The Zone BBS, Games, Community, and Drama!" It describes this site exactly! *smile*

Post 25 by Musical Ambition (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Tuesday, 13-Jun-2006 14:33:04

LOL, yeah, that describes it very well.

Post 26 by yankee g wolverine (Account disabled) on Tuesday, 13-Jun-2006 15:36:55

blindvi, that idea of yours, right after my last comment before this one, that idea is complete shit!

Post 27 by b3n (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Tuesday, 13-Jun-2006 18:14:32

That random title thing is a great idea.
Perhaps you can submit your titles, and then the script grabs one of the submitted titles from the sql db and puts it on the home page?

"the zone bs". I think that says it all.
BEN.

Post 28 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Wednesday, 14-Jun-2006 5:51:46

something random would be fun, the post before mine catches my interest. Yeah, the first change "I'm not crazy" bla bla bla, I didn't like it either.

Post 29 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Thursday, 15-Jun-2006 18:42:19

Okay the new zone title is just so fucking gay now. The one that says "The Zone BBS - Brought to you by so and so."

Post 30 by Twinklestar09 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Thursday, 15-Jun-2006 19:31:16

Yeah, I agree it's messed up. Why those specific people anyway. The Zone is what it is because of everyone that contributes to it *smile*, including admins, CL's, and the members who use it. I liked that title "The Zone BBS - Games, Community, and Drama!" Though. They should've stayed with that one. *smile*

Post 31 by Twinklestar09 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Thursday, 15-Jun-2006 19:40:52

Oh. I finally get what they're doing by rerefreshing the page and seeing that different names are being used each time. That's kind of neat after all in a way. But I still wonder why certain people's names keep coming up more or repeatedly with others'?

Post 32 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Thursday, 15-Jun-2006 20:51:15

Yeah I sat there and refreshed quite a bit and never seen my screen name come up with this new one. Yeah the title "The Zone BBS - Games, Comunity, and Drama!" describes the site pretty damn well. They should've kept that title.




Then again the Zone title "The Zone BBS - Caution, Drama Ahead was pretty cool even though it didn't describe the site very well but hey it's the damn truth everytime you turn around it seems like the drama stays with the site. hahaha

Post 33 by blbobby (Ooo you're gona like this!) on Thursday, 15-Jun-2006 21:40:43

I liked the "brought to you by xxx and y y y" title. I hope they keep that one.

Post 34 by yankee g wolverine (Account disabled) on Sunday, 18-Jun-2006 17:56:39

lol, it's back to normal. About fucking time! lol

Post 35 by Jess227 on Sunday, 18-Jun-2006 18:50:14

Yankee just a question..... You're not the owner of the website, nor a cl. So why is this really bothering you? If you don't like what you see, don't come on here. Sheesh it's just a title for gods sake. I really liked the title: The Zone BBS Brought to you by: Random User 1 and Random User 2 Ben, yours is cool too The Zone BS

Post 36 by changedheart421 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Sunday, 18-Jun-2006 20:05:32

don't get on here enough to care but the original title was nice and professional.
