The Time Has Come (Once Again)

What starts must come to an end. These seven words are very true. Unfortunately, these true words are appplicable to these forums.

The Zoo Tycoon series started in 2001. Zoo Tycoon was a game of 2-D sprites, like most of the other games of its time. The game was a huge success. It sold many copies. One of these copies was mine. I bought Complete Collection at a Costco Wholesale store in 2002. I was captivated by the large variety of animals, especially the dinosaurs. I did not understand the concept of suitable exhibits as a five year old.

In 2004, I saw an advertisement for Zoo Tycoon 2 in National Geograohic Kids magazine. I wanted it immediately. Unfortunately, I had to wait until my birthday in March. When I started playing it, I was amazed by the 3-D graphics. Yet I wished there was a larger variety of animals. I aquired Zoo Tycoon 2: Endangered Species on Christmas 2005. I enjoyed the new features. I bought Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania on Christmas 2006. At first, I didn't quite the concept of training animals. I got Zoo Tycoon 2: African Adventure and Zoo Tycoon 2: Dino Danger for my birthday in 2007.

One day, I was browsing the Zoo Tycoon site. Suddenly, I noticed a link to the forums. I looked at the forums. I decided it was the perfect place to join. After a long, tiresome process, I had an account. My first posts were of zebras and Tyrannosaurus living together and free-roaming peacocks. I became one of the most active members. When BFKeith came and posted pictures of Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals, I tried to decipher hidden clues.

I bought Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals a few days after it was released. I marveled at the extinct animals. Finally, a variety of dinosaurs in Zoo Tycoon 2!

Recently, I read that the forums were closing. This made me very sad. These forums introduced me to the wonders of the Internet!

In conclusion, farwell. I have suggested the idea of relocating. This idea was realized by Avatar2016, who made a site to relocate to. I am dismayed that these forums are closing, yet there is new hope in Avatar2016's site. Thank you forums. Thank you.
