Goodbye

Rosey_Unicorn — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:29:44 GMT

I'm just posting this now so people have time to respond before things shut down.

I've had an amazing time on these forums, helping people out and putting my ideas out there.

I'm going to stay online until the end, but as I said I want to give people time to respond.

I just have a couple of requests.
1- that people put their nicest sigs up to be imortilized once the forums are gone. I wish I could get this to TigerGirl and cybertiger345, because they had some awsome ones. LD and RiverStrider, Please put up one of your best, you're both amazing too!
2- That we go out civilly. No bickering, no mean location boxes, nothing that we'll feel sorry about when we won't be able to change it. That goes for the sigs as well, please put up your best work!

Fore future forums visiters I'm putting up my My Favorites pages, where I have a good chunk of my refrences. Normally these would be sign in only, but I want as many people to see them and get help from them as possible.

I'm still going to be online and helping people out, but I wanted to do this now.
Goodbye Everybody!

Hi. Remember me? I'm JCL, I took a break from the forums a few months ago. You can't imagine how I felt when I came back and found out that the forums were closing. It was horrible. I read Padfoot's post four times before I finally believed it! Even then I was so freaked I couldn't bring myself to log in. But (obviously!) today I did. And I want to say some special goodbyes. I limited myself to under five lines or I would have gone on forever! LOL!

Gabby: Wow, I'm really going to miss you. You gave me my nickname and were one of my best forum friends. Remember the post which started our friendship? It was in a vending machine game and I gave you a wedding invitation in exchange for Alex's photo. LOL I am already missing you. Love you! *Gives Hug*

Mozart: My fellow dog-lover! I am going to miss you so much! Give Sebastian a kiss on the nose for me! Thanks for being my friend throught my time in the forums! And thanks for all those cute signatures you made me! You are so awesome at it! Love you! *Gives Hug*

Mumble: Thankies for being such a great friend! I'm sorry you've had so much trouble lately here. I hope you have a great summer and life. Love you! I am already missing you! *Gives Hug*

Kate: I don't know if you are still on the forums, but I just wanted to say thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me! I will miss you so much! Give your horse a hug for me! Maybe I'll see you on Horwse 'cause I still go on occasionally. Love you! *Gives Hug*

Sib: Well, I am really going to start going on Gmail more often now that school is out! You're the only person I will still have contact with after the forums close. Thanks for being my friend! When school starts, hug Nigel for me! Love you! *Gives Hug*

AlphaMare: I know we fought sometimes, but I still consider you one of my closest friends on the forums. Thanks for being such an awesome friend to me! I will miss you so much! Have fun playing ZT2 and Sims 2! Love you! *Gives Hug*

AZ: Wow, long time no hear! I will miss you so much when the forums close! Give Hunka, Elvis, and Fleabag kisses for me! Good-bye fellow Beatles fan! Love you! *Gives Hug*

PokeFreak: Remember all the fun PMs we used to send each other? Have fun playing Harvest Moon and Sims 2! I will miss you! *Gives Hug*

To LouieDog, Rosey, Stegosaur Boy, Pikafuey, NVG, Lynx 55, Joyce 2, and Avatar2016: I know we never got really close, but I want you guys to know I admire you all and will miss you so much! I wish we could have became better friends, but it's kind of late now. Bye! *Gives Group Hug*

To everyone: I will miss you all! *Sniffles* Good-bye!

Please do not take offense, anyone. I will miss you all and I love you all! Bye!

My final post

The Dream Dancer — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:22:06 GMT

This is my final post, I decided just to leave and not wait till the last minute, all though I'll see alot of your on avatars forum, I just had to make this post. This place was really amazing, we all had good times, even when there was a fight we got over it and moved on (mostly). This place turned me from a lonely geek, to a happy person. I am now actually more out going then I used to be, thanks to you guys! Im gonna miss the ones I dont ever see again, mainly Firesong,Mozart, and Mumble. They were really supportive! Padfoot, TeamCrab, you guys were awesome, I know how hard it is to answer all those silly questions over and over again. Good bye guys! Good bye forum, rest in peace.

"Rain to dust, lovers to friends, all good things come to an end."

The last post of Dream-Dancer (It burns it hurts, but some how Ill survive.

Anyone who has goodbyes, please say them now here

grizzlybear500 — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 16:45:34 GMT

This is where you can say goodbyes to your close friends if you havent already, and, Avatar has luckily created a zoo tycoon refugee forum, we can all meet their. And also, if you don't happen to join this forum, I will let you all know that Artifex is creating Island Excursions, its a really cool xp. So I'll say goodbye to people who have been a big part in my forum time-

Louie dog- the first person to reply to my post

Padfoot- nicest mod ever

TeamCrab- the first moderator I met

Happybear- you and I got along quite well

Landon- we had one of the same major interests

Rosey Unicorn- created the longest thread in the forum

Mumble- created some awesome sigs for the members

I'll continue my list in my next post

I'd really like to post it before time runs out but I can't unless I get all 5 illustrations! Please, please help!

NatureVetGirl — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:03:25 GMT

Okay, somebody please illustrate these images for me, if I get them on time, I will post my story!

1- a bright gold deer with gold antlers, hooves, and eagle wings laying with a dark navy one with yellow eyes and dark eagle wings, silver hooves and smaller silver antlers (laying in grass)

2- a deer's skull with one horn, but the horn is NOT an antler- its a hippo tusk, where the other one should be it is a gaping black hole. He is enveloped in fog.

3- a pale green deer with pale wings, small olive green antlers and olive hooves packed with other deer with wings in a dark cave.

4- a white dragon with a small beard, a completely white deer with white wings and white antlers/hooves, and a hippo like thing with big white tusks

5- a brass-red deer with wings next to the green one above stated and a pale grey blue on with white wings, sleeping.

thanks!

alpha-mare — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:31:03 GMT

Hi everyone! I don't really know what to do with a whole thread just for me..but here are some ideas

horses, post to talk about horse shows, books and breeds.

the new season of Deadliest Cactch (finally)

music. Mainly pop, but whatever.

No rules, anything goes. Fighting and stuff, I won't complain or be controlling if you fight. Also, here's a small story I wrote when I was watching Walkin with Dinosaurs

The Beast

it's a land before time for real. No humans, to buildings, nothing but land and them. Kinda boring, but...he's out there. He's a ruthless killing machine, and he's so beautiful. Yes, he's a Tyranasuarus. He'll kill anything to survive. Even helpless babies, punching giant holes in them until they mercifully die.

He runs after pray, a small plant eating dinosaur, relentlessly chasing until it's his. Water from a small lake spakles as he catches up to the slow creature. The light reflecting off the lake, shining in his evil yellow and green eyes. Finally he catches it. Killing it with a few bites to it's neck. The others of its kind run in fear of his awsome beaty. He shakes his wonderful neck as he eats what was alive only a few seconds ago. It's so hard to beleive his brain's tiny and he's a giant lizard, but oh well.

Some day, he'll be rotting flesh and just a speccle on the massive Earth that's so different now. If only he knew how many people would love to see him walk the Earth again...if only it could happen

To all Zoo Tycoon Volcano and Zoo Admin members

grizzlybear500 — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 21:45:23 GMT

I noticed this in a different thread, and we are all going to be soon without a forum, so can any of you members help create a Zoo Tycoon Official Forums refugees area on the web? If you help do this, many thanks! I hope to see everyone in the future, and hopefully, the Official Forums fire will carry on through it's members throughout the Internet, sooo good luck all!

Hi this is my board where you can talk about wildlife in your area, your pets, your own experiences, and just about everything that has to do with zt2 and the wildlife. Enjoy!

Oh my gosh! Read!

Emberstone — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:33:15 GMT

Salutations!

Yo waz up my peeps. That subject name got your attention, didn't it? Just wanted to say that since the forums are closing tomarrow, I would give my final post today, cuz I don't know if this would go up in time for people to read. I know I may not see some of you again, and that many of you won't see eachother again. But that doesn't mean that we have to be so down-in my opinion, the forums are not closing forever. Besides-these forums aren't the most important things in the world, right? But I bet they mean alot to some people. Look, I know I've only been here for about two months, but I feel like I'm part of an actual communtity, not just some made up little wonderland. When I first joined, my post was always at the end of the thread, nobody responding afterwards. But then people actualy rersponded, and I didn't feel like a nobody anymore. Thanks.

Padfoot: You're da bomb. In a good way.

Richeet, , Lightshadow, the shadow-walkers, and the sun-cats say bye.

Everybody hear rox my sox! Bye!

P.s.s I'm probably gonna hear from half of you guys again, if I can join Avatar's site.

Have a nice day!

Emberstone out, yo.

Todaloo!

Hey, Cybertiger!

Firesong — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:35:39 GMT

Cool sig, the one with the half-computer tiger! How did you make it? I know we both use the same program, so I was wondering if we could have a thread where we can talk about the program and give each other ideas, and help each other figure out how to do stuff with it.

Thanks mods!

Rosey_Unicorn — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:42:18 GMT

With everything being up in the air, I think we are all forgetting something. Over the course of these forums we have had three mods, all of them have been great, getting better all the time. Rockfish, TeamCrab and Padfoot all kept this place safe and answered game and forums questions (espetially now) when we asked. I think they deserve a huge thanks!

Thank you Padfoot, and if you're still reading TeamCrab and Rockfish, I, at least, thank you too!

We must save the forums!

Pikafuey — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:13:18 GMT

Ok, I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's heard about the forums ending. But if you heard, you have to help me do something! And please Padfoot or Teamcrab, can you tell me why the forums are ending? I really need to know! Please don't end the forums! Whose with me?

Umbreon,Here!!!

This might be my last post ever, and I will ever, ever, post here, I feel so sad, about this, that's it's really happening, the rumours about that BF's contract with Microsoft are ending, and the end of Zoo Tycoon is afoot. No more Zoo Tycoon, or ZT2, because they are not making a ZT3. I feel so bad because everyone's leaving. This might not be my last post, but it be one of my last five. Goodbye, Mozart, Mumble, Riverstrider, Aplha-mare, Pack Leader, Firesong, Mr. Cool, Bearded Dragon Man, Kate, Almond Zebra, Goldzone, Rosey Unicorn, Nvg, Mr. Tonberryman, Cryptidzookeeper, Cybertiger, GuiEVERYBODY.

But I'll miss all of you, and if you want to talk to me on a diferent forum, check out http://z15.invisionfree.com/Fantasy_Fanatics/index.php
