Years??!!  Why didn't you join sooner though? Not many people can say they were here for years before joining.  |

Whoops! I DO have memories here, as I told you, I've been here for years, even though I just became a member. Don't I have a right to post what I remember from then!?

Yes you do but we would prefer you use the other posts here as an example and make your post. Not use the thread as a chat thread with other members as it just clogs the topic with unecessary posts that have to be sifted through to find the ones that are actually on topic and related to the ZA memories of the members. This post and the other off topic chat posts will be removed and moved off the board so this topic can remain for some of our older members to read and respond to with their memories of the early days of Zoo Admin.

My, my.. Reading this is about to make me cry. I'm serious. It was a few years ago that I joined ZA, after seeing my brother browsing the site. Once I joined I took a liking to three members--DolphinDiver, Wolfclan4545[I believe the numbers are] and Unicornzhorn. People I remember most: Mo, AussieKoala, YellowRose, Tex, DolphinDiver, UnicornzHorn, Rednotdead, James24. I remember how YellowRose came up with her name. How random is that? I joined in 2004, I believe. That's 3 years ago I read that, and I remember how one person came up with her name? Woah. I remember I was inactive for some time. I returned, and Mo was a mod [very proud, Mo!] So many new members, and I just felt I was forgotten. Became inactive again. I just could not stay here at ZA once I left. There are many memories for me to share, but I don't want my mom being like "O.o" because I'm like "  ". |

Hey TigerTail glad to see you popping in again.
We don't totally forget about members but when you don't pop in on a regular basis or post often it is hard to remember everyone when you have as many members as ZA does.
I'm flattered that you remmeber how I got my username. Sometimes stories relating to these things no matter how small have a way of just sticking with you because you can relate sometimes to what has happened to that person or because it's something you may want to do yourself some day.
Pop in and say hello more often even if you don't play any longer we always like to see our members pop in and let us know how they are faring in life after ZT.

I joined ZA about maybe 3 years ago or more. Before ZT2 (I don't like ZT2, just the first one.) I don't remember how long I was on, but I downloaded lots of animals I still have today. I left. When I returned (today) my profile was gone, so I made it again.  |

Well, i got zt1 for christmas one year(cant remember when) after my mom saw it in a magazine. I played for years, and enjoyed the game without any user content.
Fast forward to when zoo tycoon 2 came out. I just starting browsing websites, and came across hundreds of zt1 DLs. THen, after days of searching, i came across the 8 or so DL's at zoo tycoon center, and couldnt figure out how to get them in game. EVery day i would try, and every day i would fail.
Finally, i got them in game (dunno how, but i did!). I started searching for more DL's, and came across bunches of them here. those were the days were the only DLs were by STC, PM, Sideshowbob, and OTterlord. I downloaded all of them, and checked back regularly for more.
on June 18, 2006, at 07:38:14 AM, i registered. (PS i only know this cuz i looked at my profile;))
THen, i found APE 2, started to design, became an active member here, and so on.

I met my best friend, Frogman, on ZA nearly six years ago. He will be marrying me next month. :eggwub |

Iriri,
I didn't get to know you or Frogman that well before you both stopped popping in here but I'm so glad to here your news.
Congrats to both of you and I wish you both a long life of happiness. Pop in more often even if just to say the odd hello.
Frogmans bridges are still a popular download here and around the community and as a designer he is missed. He is also missed as a staff member here.
Agin I wish the both of you all the best. Take care of each othe r and I hope to see you every so often to say hello.

Congratulations Iriri and Frogman! I wish you all the best.
I got ZT2 as a birthday present back in 2005. I played it until like 11 at night, then barely slept because i was so busy designing exhibits in my head. When my computer decided to have a cow, i was super depressed, partly because I had just ordered AA. But somehow (i didn't do anything, which is the wierd part) it started working again a couple of weeks ago for the first time in a year.
That's pretty much my story.

TigerTail! Hey, I remember you! =D Long time no see, eh? *goes crazy* It's good to see you popping in, I can't believe I didn't see this until now! And btw, I also remember how Yellowrose came up with her name. Can't remember where I read it, but it's stuck in my memory too.  Big congrats, Iriri and Frogman! Best wishes to you both. |

Congrats Iriri and Frogman, best of luck. I know Frogman is a big rollercoaster fan, so I am envisioning a Cedar Park Honeymoon :egggrin.
Good to see you around zookreeper it has been a while.

Congrats Iriri and Frogman. I think I played my first zoo tycoon game in 03 (the original). It could have been before then though.
