YeeeHaw! New Avatars!
Well, in the midst of the celebrations of the 100,000 user signed up there was another ubercool update . . . New Forum Avatars! Here's a brief selection of the new ones, and from what is said in the news, there may be some hidden on the site? Or maybe just hidden among the other avatars under forum settings . . .I'll go check . . .be back in a jif, and while I'm gone, why don't you look at four of the new avvies?



Okay, it looks like there's about 4 or so on the forum settings that aren't listed on the news page, so the search for secret avatars may have to wait a little longer. :) Like for when they get the avatar chat thingy set up. :)

By the way . . .NEW STUFF ON THE SITE!! YAY!! KEEP IT UP!!

Erg. . . .Erk . . . .Ugh . . .Where's the Pics?!?!?!?
Imperius has now forbidden us access to the images server. ACK! How are we to know when new stuff appears on the database now? How are we to know that something way cool is brewing in the wind??? You mean we have to look at the NEWS?!?!? Dang. If someone knows of another way in, lemme know. Unless it involves something like cracking into the site. . . .I'm not that hard up for images. :)

Are you a Zetaholic? (review, sorta)
Well, I wanted to go back to zetaholic.com and try to get a new review for it. Pinnapple36 is in our club and has been telling us all about the changes done to it and updates and stuff. He's been working really hard on it, and I wanted to take a look and give him a better review than the one I did earlier this month. Unfortunately, as many of you may know, I am on a linux system running Mozilla as a web browser. This tends to cause some problems. Well, apparently Pinnapple's navigation system is too cool for Mozilla. :) The front page looks good, and I could do a lot of work, look at the source code, and copy and paste the links from it indiviually and look at all the goodies, but frankly, that would make me irritable, and I want to give the site a fair shot. So hopefully, we can get this cleared up and I can give it the review it deserves soon. :) Until then, go check it out for yourself, and feel free to zmail me YOUR review of the site. Or of any site you might find for that matter. :)

With Zetapets down again . . . (Review)
I decided it was time once again to fidn a fansite to review, here it is:


Alpha to Zeta
Finally! A website that is just a fansite, not devoted to a club! Kind of like this one . . . :) I happened upon it while looking at my new tracking site (there really are people out there!! I'm not talking to myself, YAY! *grins*). I noticed that someone had been referred to me from that website, and I said to myself, "Let's go take a look!" And I started wandering around. From the news on the site, it's either brand new (less than a week old) or just had a total revamp. . .I'm thinking brand new. If that is the case, way to go, Brechan! There's a lot of good content on the page. For instance, many of the old world images off the image server (By the way, Brechan, Tecton was originally where you went to play games, which is why it looks like a joystick *grins*), Pheorn images, old shields (the ones that were replaced by banners showing how long you had been on zetapets), etc. etc. etc. There's also a page on scamming avoidance, which isn't something I've seen yet on a zeta page . . .I don't think it's as big a problem yet. but good information nonetheless. I'm just sad to think it could happen on zeta . . .*sniffle*

Other good points: My message is getting out!! All images that I looked at on this page are hosted by PhotoBucket. And this is what is one the bottom of every page:
"Codeing, content, and images are (c) 2004 Alpha To Zeta and brechan. Zetapets-related media is copyright (c) 2004 Zetapets.com. Yay to freewebs for hosting me! ^^"
Yay to you Brechan for following the Rules! And the site is very readable, with a ncie clean layout.

So good content, isn't doing anything illegal, and links back to me . . .what could I possibly have to say about this site that's bad?? Well there are some stuff, I am not going to slam the site because it's not finished. I never do (even if it may sound that way), and the things that aren't finished yet have nice notes telling you they aren't finished yet (good thing). However, this site needs to be gone over with a spellchecker and then a human spellchecker. I'll help you out on some of them "Coding" not "Codeing", "Avoiding" not "Avoideing", "to anyone you MEET online" not "MEAT", and the mythological firebird that rises from it's own ashes is called a Phoenix - that's an icky one and I prolly wouldn't know it if I didn't have relatives living in Phoenix, AZ. :) The above is not meant as a sarcastic attempt at belittling Brechan spelling abilities, but as a help in finding some of the errors. But ummmm . . .other than spelling and being light on content (which will cure itself in time) . . .oh, yeah! I wanted to say, that while I really like the name, I thought an even funnier play on words would be "Alphus to Zeta" . . .hrmmm, that doesn't look so good in print as it sounds in my head. . . .nevermind, go with Alpha to Zeta.

Anyways . .Two Paws up! But you better keep up the good work, because I am coming back to check on progress and if your new content either a) isn't there or b) isn't up to the same level as your old . . . those paws are changing positions! :) Great site, though . . good job.
