Farewell, all members of ZT2 Forums...

Utahthief — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:20:34 GMT

Goodbye forums...leaving will be soon...the forums will close...I will be forced to wander the internet, looking for a home...I dont know if I can become part of another...If so, you will see this username at Avatar 2016's sight...dont count on it...anyway, you have all been awesome, especially the two people who have me on their favorites. You have made my short time here great! Goodbye...

This is only a new beginning, for ALL of us...

Marine Maniac — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:44:43 GMT

...of couse we are all sad that the forums are closing. But this could be a fresh start! Like for the people who spent all day chatting and helping 24 hours a day (I don't think I can be the only one) it's the chance to get up and do something else. Besides watch television. Or if you only helped people you could check out Wikipedia and edit pages, discuss the game, and chat. You might like chat. If you were a social butterfly during the time on the forums check out Avatar's Refugee site.

We were all connected and we will stay connected. In our minds we will never forget eachother. We all had out best friends and friends, or even people we just goofed around with on one post. We will remember them.

And although the forums are closing that only means that we can no longer post. The site is still open for reading!

Good-bye to everyone who made these forums a great place. I hope you move on to more places and make them better. You are all great people. You will survive. Sure it's a horrible loss, but you WILL get over it. Promise.

I'll miss you all.

Love,

Marine Maniac.

P.S. I pray at some point the forums will reopen. If we all believe, it will happen.

May God be with ye

Sadly todays the end of the wor...ZT2 Forums, I just want to say goodbye all, and I hope to see you at Avatar' refugee but I have had good times with you all even though I joined not to long ago. We can still have fun at the refugee, I will miss this place so badly still. I'll also miss some people I will not see, expecelly Padfoot. I will miss the memories at this place and would like to say may God be with ye which is said goodbye for short.

Sea Lion — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:13:27 GMT

check zoo news, zt2 ultimate collection is coming out, it has all the previous expansions, and zt2 itself, I don't need it though.

What colour varients?

Druid — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:10:47 GMT

Left Hanging?

Ryan77 — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 06:45:22 GMT

At the risk of sounding overly negative, this site gets"officially" updated about every six months. So I guess my question is: before the forums shut down, will there be any kind of real news from the site stated on here? I mean, as it pertains to major, recurring topics(i.e. new downloads, expansions, etc.), or will we be just left wondering? Because, let's face it, that is the kind of thing that will turn a customer off of a product.

I have a solution to the end of zootycoon!!

EvilTails — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:53:01 GMT

I have a solution!! I ganna make a website called savezootycoon.com and the forums will be ready in a week. If you have any suggestions, reply NOW.

P.S.I live in Texas, and the date here will be Friday, June 27 08

No more forums?

Rosey_Unicorn — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:49:01 GMT

Padfoot just anounced today that the forums are shutting down! I'll be posting until the last day, but, no...... more.......... forums?

Anybody with questions post now or never get the chance!

Another refugee site!

Will D Beast — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:51:16 GMT

Another Place To Go(h)!!!!!!!!!!:

New ZooTycoon?

Sara — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:45:46 GMT

I havent seen any new game that soon is coming out or something. Has the creators stop completley? In that case, some special reason?

PS. Im not at all active here on the forum, so if I have missed something big you know why.

But is it really...

Dino Man 589 — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:02:11 GMT

...the end? I know there is alot of concern about the forums closing, but they may have something big planned. Or maybe the forums will open up again later. Anyway, Padfoot said keep checking back for updates. That means the site will still be updated. And the forums are'nt really closed, but restricted. We can still come here, just not make any new posts. And even if it is the end of zoo tycoon, it's mighty spirit lives on, and people still play it; still enjoy it. We still get new members. It may seem like the end, but I believe there are still great things to come...

...And since this will probably be my last post before the 'closing', I would like to say a final goodby to you all. This has been a great and helpful community, and it was nice to know you all. And now I say farewell...

Zoo Tycoon 3?

Penguinly — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 04:06:37 GMT

Hey! My name is Penguinly and I am a ZT Fanatic. However, I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be a Zoo Tycoon 3.

I kind of hope there won't because my mom is sick of me buying all of these Zoo Tycoons (ZT 1, ZT 1 Marine Mania, ZT 1 Deluxe Edition, and ZT 2) because she says there is just going to be another one coming out later that I'll want.

So, does anyone know? :) Thanks for your time!

-Penguinly

My farewell letter.....

grizzlybear500 — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:10:42 GMT

Well, as I go to my last day on the forums, I just want all of you to know that what a great time I had between now and July 31st, the day I joined. It has been so great and so many happy memories were shared, with the release of new xps, people creating Yafi's, new moderators, new posts and threads and new members. I want all of you to know how much of a part you have been in my life, and that you are all very kind and I will miss you all so so so so much! You can find me on Avatars member refugee forum, and as I leave I want to give you guys some things to look out for...

Artifex is in the middle of creating Island Excursions

Possibility of one more official xp (hopes it is the cool America Awesomness pack suggested)

Meeting many members on Avatars site

And thats just about it, goodluck and goodbye to all of you, I can say goodbye all day, I don't know how many times it will take 'till I think I had said enough goodbyes. And to all new members, I would like to say I feel sorry for you as the forums are closing and you just joined, to me I would be really hurt inside. Now I'll just leave with this message- remember to respect all wildlife, nature, and any piece of nature that stumbles upon you. Animals have feelings just like us, and some cant really come to notice that. So, goodbye Zoo Tycoon forums!

Goodbye

Jurassic boy — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:13:02 GMT

I have not posted in a while but have been watching these forums for some time now and I am sad to hear that they are closing down.
Although most of you may not know me, as I am no longer as active as I used to be, I still thought it would be nice to say goodbye while I still have the chance.
So,
Goodbye to each and every one of you who has helped this forum to become the great place that it is.
Stay cool,
Jurassic Boy

Next game?

Sara — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:38:42 GMT

After all the chaios about the forums shutting down, I think it's time to start a petition to show who ever thinks closing this down is ok, it's not. This is a very popular forum and I've made some good friends, but I would lose contact with everyone if they go ahead and shut it down.

So sign if you think the fourms should stay open.

Padfoot will they still make them?

Getting rid of sign in only stuff

Rosey_Unicorn — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:34:17 GMT

Since the forums are shutting down (waa!) I think that all the stuff you need to sign in for should go away. That way everybody could see how great the forums were.

Mr.Cool is Back

Mr.Cool — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 03:39:55 GMT

For now I'm going to try to post more here. I left because After EA came out the place got really bland. what made me come back was that I realized just how many friends I left behind, then I saw Gabby and Mr.Tonberry man's names on the people who are here list and it just broke my heart to see two of my friends that I had left. So go ahead, welcome me with the openest arms you can give me!
