May 2016 MOTM/SOTM
May has been a month of high activity and rejuvenation for the forum. For the first time in 9 years, we have a brand new look! Our new default skin heralds a new era for ZapdosZulu and reflects how we will embrace and adapt to the challenges of the future while at the same time revering our past, with undertones of familiarity still embodied in the new skin.
It has also been a month filled with new updates: Guide Gent's House, the video introduction to ZZ, the Running Shoes rule, Vivillon Evolution Guide and two new quests; Dying Wish and Dig In! The Game Corner has also come alive with Game Corner Dealers busily updating everyone's games. We also held a Gogoat race (where we will announce the winners shortly). This has been a jam-packed month to say the least, which has no doubt made this one of the most competitive "Of the month" contests in living memory. Without further ado, the winners are...
Member of the Month: May 2016
And the winner is...
Lamont
Lamont is an active and friendly presence around the forum. She is renowned for being very helpful and once even offered to clean up a lot of our old ads in the jumbled morass that is the Advertisement and Affiliation board. Therefore it is only fitting that she became one of our first Game Corner Dealers. Over the past month, she carried out this role with distinction, breathing new life into an oft neglected part of the forum.
The Mods have noted that her roleplaying posts are a pleasure to read and are always of a high standard. Her shop, Graye's Marinades, is a popular haunt for other members and I often marvel at the elegance and simplicity of her coding templates. On behalf of the voting staff, I congratulate you on your success and thank you for your efforts!
Staff of the Month: May 2016
And the winners are...
Morrigan AND Marchbaby
For the massive month of May, it seems fitting that there was a tie in the voting for our two Moderators whose names begin with "M". M&M both contributed heavily to make this month memorable in many ways.
Morrigan has worked tirelessly this month and is credited with being the lead developer of our new default skin. She is an active participant in staff discussions and has shown leadership in helping to influence the decision-making and shaping the future direction of the forum. I think it's safe to say we are very grateful to have her hands at the helm and are a better site for it! She also developed the Dig In! quest but none of this developmental work has detracted from her modding; having modded the most threads this month by a country mile! Congratulations on this award, you have definitely earned it.
Marchbaby has gone through a tough month from a personal stand point. I know there is nothing that can truly make up for your loss, but I think it is reflective of your character that you have persevered through adversity to continue to make this place tick. It is shown in the voting how much your fellow staff members recognise your efforts. I see your diligence through the effort you put into attracting new members to the site. You keep our social media pages up to date and have expanded our web presence. All the while, you have been busily modding throughout the month as well. I admire your courage and honesty in speaking up about concerns you had in the staff board and I hope you see this award as both recognition for your efforts but also encouragement for the future. Congratulations!
And of course, here are the lovely prizes for this month. Choose wisely! ~
