New Announcement 2010

[Professor Oak]

Hi everyone,

It has been a long while since I last visited and I'm very sorry for my unexplained period of absence. I was preoccupied with my exams up until late November and was overseas on holiday up until this week.

Running this site was quite an effort and I might need some more help from those who are interested. I'd like to thank Andrew and all the other mods who continued to run the site while I was away and I'd like to call upon those of you who are still active to suggest some ideas about how we can expand/advertise this site and also other roleplay-based ideas.

Hopefully, after I can get this site up and running again pretty soon although I won't be able to be very active as I'm working over these holidays. :/ But I would like to promote a few of the staff members and would encourage some of them to help the development of the site as well as building the roleplay itself. But anyways, I look forward to talking to you guys more often now that I'm back and start doing a few updates in my spare time.

[Andrew]

I understand what you're going through. I had important exams last year. This year I only had small ones so I have time to Roleplay.
I might go scouting around to find some potential mods. I have a lot of free time at the moment and I don't mind answering all of threads. I'm glad to help. I think that we should encourage our members to bring their friends and people from other sites here again. They'll probably have more fun in Group Roleplays then too if they're with people that they're friendly with.
I'm starting work experience tomorrow so I'll only be on at the end of the day. I finished next Tuesday though so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'll do my best to stay active over the holidays. That all sounds great. It's great to have you back. ^_^

Good to have you back, Oak! I must say, I have thoroughly enjoyed this site - much more than any of the other sites I visited/joined previously. I love the community feel and, really, all the mods who were here in your absence did the job 100%. ;D

ZapdosZulu is totally awesome. I'll be stalking around some other RP sites to bully other people in joining, definitely. XD

[The REAL Joey]

OAK IS ALIIIIIIIVE! I was beginning to think something had eaten you. Or you know, kidnapped you. If that were to ever happen I would rally the forces don't you worry and we'd rescue you post haste.

I'm glad you've given due recognition to Andrew. That guy's been really keeping this place together just before I left. So congrats to you Andrew for getting the position! ...I'm just sorry to say I got a bit distracted from here with reality. It's been quite weird really. I've missed a lot of people on here who I used to talk to. We had some funny conversations.

[Andrew]

JOE! Hey! You're back! ^_^ It's great to hear from you. Haha, I know right! I was thrilled when Oak returned.

Thank you, btw. I love this place. It's really awesome. I totally understand what you mean. I was quite distracted when I first joined. Sadly, there's not really much activity atm. Only me and phoenix are still here. We're working on it though. Caroline Steele's being promoted to a Moderator too. I hope the other guys come back. People probably go away for holidays and such.

[Professor Oak]

Sorry for being away absent again...

I'm feeling guilty for disappearing again just when I announced my return. Please understand that I can't be online every day as I'm really struggling to balance my new job out with uni. I can't promise much but I'll try to check-in at least once a week as I owe it to you all for continuing to invest your time at Zapdoszulu and it is my strong desire to finish what I've started.

For the time being, I will focus mainly on completing parts of the rp such as Gyms, Pokemon, etc and excuse myself from the rping updates at least until I'm up to speed with everything. Thanks to all of you for never giving up on the site and for your patience all this time.
