A new season of the Quicknotes Quiz is coming to The Zone BBS, and with it, your chance to win a free Premium Membership!
For those who don't remember the quizzes from 2008, they were a series of general knowledge sessions where questions are asked in Quicknotes and points are given away for those who give the fastest answers. Over the course of ten games, the person with the most points was also given a Premium Membership (last time this was Cameron Macteapot). Well the Quiz League is coming back for 2010! Dusty will be hosting a ten-game season with each round taking place around the third Sunday of the month (excluding July and August), with the first round on Sunday 17th January 2010. Again the overall winner will get a Premium Membership, and there are billions of points up for grabs! For more details, contact Dusty (user #4401) or have a look at the 'Quicknotes Quiz League' board on Let's Talk."

List of Twitter Users
As requested by many, you can now see a list of zone users that have twitter. It's under the community heading, and is called appropriately, Users with Twitter. Enjoy.
Just a friendly reminder to all to please post your topics under the appropriate categories when creating new topics on the boards. Thanks for your cooperation, it is much appreciated.
A friendly reminder that pulling banned members into conferences via a three way phone line Is in violation of T.O.S. Also note that harassment of a person that has you on ignore is also a violation and can result in you being removed from the zone on either a permanent or temporary basis.
We have new sounds! Big thanks to community leader Q for the sounds. If you want cool sounds or music for your next project, visit http://www.pendlepro.com
By request, we've replaced the list of page links at the bottom of board, profile, topic, and other pages with a box to type in a page number that you wish to jump to. You can still select to go to the previous or next page. We hope this makes your time on the site more enjoyable. Enjoy.
You can now add your Twitter username to your profile.
We've made some changes to the status feature. First of all, all users now have the same access to the status feature. There is no longer a default status message. Your status will be set to whatever it was when you logged out. It is also now always displayed in your user profile, even if logged out. Finally, you can view the most recent statuses for a user from their profile. Enjoy.
We've expanded the SMS text message gateway to include most carriers worldwide. Enjoy.

You can click on these to see if others have the same interest as you.
As a friendly reminder, Please read over our T.O.S. and make sure you understand them as some people are starting to appear to have forgotten them. If you have questions about the T.O.S. contact a CL for verification.
There is a new board called Here No Evil - See No Evil

Canada and London have been returned to ZBP. New numbers: Canada, Toronto 1-647-258-4721 United Kingdom, London 44-20-02227092
Phone pins on Zone BBS by Phone may now be between four and seven digits. All users must change to a new PIN before being able to log in. Please take this time to select one which is especially secure.
We would like to apologise for any inconvenience regarding the confusion surrounding fake quicknotes. We hope the following will get rid of any uncertainties: Fake quicknotes are allowed, since users now have the ability to determine who's sending them. Fake system messages however, are not allowed, as set out in the Terms of Service. Quicknotes sent by a person have a blue link to their profile. Actions have a blue link covering the asterisk and sender's name which lets a reader view the profile. Broadcast messages, which are almost never used, have red asterisks. Other messages have green asterisks to identify where they begin. Thank you.
Just a quick reminder that account sharing is against our terms of service, and also opens your account to unwanted mischief for which you will be held responsible. If you have shared your password or phone pin with anyone else, please take a moment to change both. From the main menu, click on My Account. Users caught sharing accounts risk an immediate and permanent ban.
By popular demand, you can now give points to other users! Go to the transfer points link under the community heading on the main page. Enjoy!
Due to some problems and issues in identification, we are no longer allowing third parties to set up Zone BBS accounts for people. This is particularly applicable to those who wish to use Zone BBS by Phone and who do not have a computer. Such attempts may be detected as duplicate account sign-ups; if so both accounts may be disabled. We can better address Zone BBS by Phone if all users are at least somewhat active on the website.
Thank you for reading: The Zone BBS staff.
