Zone Icon! Coming soon to a computer near you!
The Zone BBS is an Internet based community of blind, low vision, and sighted people who may freely interact with one another via the built-in chat system, discuss a variety of topics on the boards (an intricate bulletin board-styled forum), or attempt to rack up points whilst playing one of the myriad games available. An integrated voice-chatting feature of the site allows members of the Zone BBS community to meet and participate in lively conversations about limitless topics.
The site has been responsible for at least 1 marriage, and a whole lot of people connecting on more than just a friendly level. This online community has grown into something big! People from all over the world have joined the Zone and made friends from different countries. On a day-to-day basis, people come on the Zone for either text chat on the site, or voice chat using a voice over IP client. Being able to chat with friends who live all around the globe has become a highlight for many Zone BBS members. The element of voice chat has opened up a whole new world for users who are either blind or possess too little vision to see a picture.
If you ask many zoners (jargon for Zone BBS Members) how they feel about the Zone, they will say that it is like a family. This family has teamed up to create its own version of American Idol. They call it the "Zone Icon." Please continue reading on for more information about Zone Icon.
Zone Icon will work almost exactly like American Idol. We held Open auditions from September 1st until September 30th. During this time, contestants had to record a two minute clip of a song and send it in to the judges. As long as the selection showed off the contestant's voice within the two minute time frame, all was well. The auditions were closed on the 30th of September, giving the three judges a chance to listen to all submissions and narrow it down to a list of the top ten vocalists.
On November 2nd at 8:00 PM Eastern Time, the first ever broadcast of Zone Icon will air. In this broadcast, you -- the audience -- will here all of the submissions, and at the end we will announce the top ten candidates who will move on to the next round. This weekly elimination will continue until we have our Zone Icon!
Keep in mind that if you wish to have a part in the voting process, you must be a Zone member. Only Zone members with valid user ID's will be allowed to vote. To join the Zone, visit: www.zonebbs.com.
You will need a media player to tune into the broadcast. If your media player does not allow you to tune in, you may download Winamp -- our recommended player.
We thank you for your support and hope you will enjoy listening to the Zone Icon. If you have any questions about tuning in, or voting, please email: icon-support@zonebbs.com.
