Did I really call this place "Babylon Zoo Network" in a recent update? I'm fairly sure I did!
Someone recently commented wondering if this site may just not exist when they come to check some day. I feel it's an important question. I've seen many websites disappear over the years, websites I used to like visiting. I've also seen websites slowly decay as the fan base moves away and all interest in maintaining the project becomes lost. It's not a good sight. Here's the future of the website as I see things: There are no plans to close this website. The financial situation behind the scenes (with my wallet) is fine for the moment. If things continue along the same path, I foresee this website existing for years to come. I hope we have a new layout somewhere down the line too although I'm satisfied with the site currently! Content: I would like to add more. Truly. I will do my best to add whatever content comes my way from now on, rather than letting it slip my mind and completely forgetting about it. There's also a site project which has long been forgotten about, but that I also have control of. It's called Confused Art - I bet everyone remembers it fondly. It was the first Babylon Zoo website I came across when I first used the internet to check what one of my all time favourite artists was doing. I'd like to give it a face lift before the end of the year. This depends on my free time. It would be easier, again, if I had good contact with a graphic designer available to draw up fantastic designs. Confused Art isn't likely to gain new content, but I'd prefer it if it didn't look like it had just stepped out of 1998 For anyone worried about losing the classic look and the memories associated with it, don't worry. I'll continue hosting that too. -------------------- Insomnia

I really like the idea of revamping Confused Art, i always thought it was overdue for a facelift that old baby I'm quite excited about the future look of both Websites. It's great you can keep both sites up. I'm still a bit sad that i had to give mine up. I found out too late that people would have been interested in keeping it for me. Well, well can't do anything about it now. Don't know if i ever could get my domain back. For anyone who can't remember it was babylonzoo.org I gave it up because i had no internet access for such a long time and not even a Computer for more than a year. And at the end i couldn't afford a site i can't use. I might get the corpse back from it's grave one day, who knows. I don't rule it out! The main thing would be getting that domain back! I wouldn't like to create a new one. Don't know what everyone else thinks about that idea. You're looking for a Graphic Designer hmm? I will ask around for you, i might be able to find someone. Preferable a BZ Fan of course. And i haven't forgotten about the Videoclips, just didn't get around to do it yet. Still have to check if i can actually copy them from the Cd i have. |
