Sports Challenge Update

The pool for the final match in the FA Cup is now active, with 1000000 points up for grabs. Pool closes on Saturday, 17 May, at 09:30. So, will it be Portsmouth, or will it be Cardiff who wins here? What do you think? Good luck with your bets.

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.

Alternate Universe has been removed temporarily while we fix some bugs.

Welcome to the fifth year of the Zone BBS. In celebration of our birthday, we have several new features and changes that we'd like you to know about.

1. We've added two new games, Mastermind and Stones. They're available from the main menu.
2. We've also added Alternate Universe, which lets you create your own rooms and objects. We'll be fleshing this out in the coming weeks to add new features, perhaps including the ability to receive points.
3. When you call Zone BBS by Phone, a random greeting will be selected. This will better showcase the creativity of our users.
4. When you view a profile, if the user has a Zone BBS by Phone name recorded, that name will play.
5. We're also slightly changing how the points work, which is something that we've talked about off and on for the past year or so. From this time forward, everyone will have usable points and total points. Usable points are those that you can spend playing games and on other site features. Occasionally we'll award a premium membership to everyone with over a billion usable points, then we'll add everyone's usable points to their total points and reset the usable points to a lower number. This makes the points somewhat more fare and gives newer users a shot at the free premium. Don't worry though, you can still view the total number of points that someone has ever made in their profile.

We shattered the previous record of 106 users logged in, with a total of 184 users, at 15:08:44 on January 27. Congratulations to everyone logged in, who each received 3,000,000 points.

Congratulations are also in order for cumbiambera2005 (#3843), who was the winner of our premium membership drawing.

Thanks again for participating in our fifth birthday. Enjoy the new features, and we look forward to bringing you many more years of games, community, and fun!

A SHOT at 1000000 POINTS!

Along with all of the excitement of the super bowl, here is another element to add to the fun. Pick this year's winner correctly, and you will win a cool million points! Good luck.

Congratulations to our new community leader BLBobby! Feel free to congratulate him. Welcome to the staff Bob!

We've brought back a way to get premium memberships by phone. Call 206-792-ZONE and leave your details on our hotline. We'll activate within 1-2 days.

Premium users can now also type a message after the /logoff or now /l command to log off with a custom message.

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, then on Edit Your Account Settings. 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.
