doesn't look so up at the moment.

why is it that software types always seem to need to "fix" something that already works....and then when their improvement doesn't work, blame everyone but themselves?

Couldn't agree more. We have been through so many "upgrades" here at work and all the due is create problems we never had to begin with

RE: The Zone
It worked fine for me over there. I still feel that we should continue using both for a while. This is a good board too without question. And, there are other CAA/rivals around. Could be fun to have both!

RE: The Zone
at this point, it's not actually accessible by going to caazone.com, it's only available by the IP address for some reason. looks way different. http://107.170.155.153/boards/

By all means, keep it going here. many UNCW people may have not yet given up on the zone, but it sure looks like a lot of other CAA folks did....and it's not clear how or why their new changes are supposed to reverse that. For now, this looks like the better spot for conference-wide talk.

Have been signed up for this site for a while. Like some others, I will keep checking both boards (this one and the old "Zone").

I know. I've been deleting them like crazy, but now there are too many of them. They need to get rid of the problem!

RE: The Zone
This looks like it could be a fatal error for The Zone. Mods like Bill can't be expected to clean that board up. It's like the place has been overrun by locusts!

Zone is toast. The GMU guys who created it have no desire/will to fund it or work on it.

Can't say I blame them.

They should have turned it over to someone who did - before losing all of the audience there. It's sad, because at one time it was a hopping place and you really could get the 411 on lots of things.

I imagine many of the posters from there will find themselves over here in time. But it is just such a waste.

It's bad right now and out of control. Good thing that we've got this board!

Well, that's true. It's also true that the owner of the zone had (by his own admission) no idea that every board was buried in spam until someone e-mailed him - well after folks like you and I had posted about it. That implies to me that it isn't much of a priority to him.

The way I see it, there will ultimately only be one principle gathering "go to" place for seahawk fans. It was the Zone. Now it's an open question. The two month down time, followed by the spam, really set the zone back badly.

RE: The Zone
It's not like the Zone was exactly killing it anyways. All the old guard gone and very few C of C and Elon posters trickling in.

Zone's still not working for me and we're one month from Midnight Madness. That's the last straw for me. I'm staying here out of principle.

WHO'S WITH ME!
