ZZT Domains

Quoted from Bill deKoning:
  • " Last month me (DeadwoK), and Ethan_Hunt wrote in speaking about how we were going to revitalize the dead zzt.net. Well, we have claimed the domain zzt.cx, and it will be up very soon. The ZZT message board will be up again, and z.archive and zzt.cx will share it to generate more users. Also, zzt.net is being purchased by xabbott, and will be a new address for z.archive. "

Mono Leaves!

72hoZZT

Colin Cowden and DeadwoK announced that they have gotten in contact with Mono. Bad news; apparently Mono has decided to quit ZZT altogether! The pair say Mono gave them permission to continue zzt.net and the 24 Hours of ZZT contest.

There are now three 24hoZZT contests to choose from: Myth's, roastbeef's, and the "official" one.
(It's unlikely that the latter will begin before the others do, though. We'll just have to wait and see, eh? ;)

By the way, 24 multiplied by 3 is 72, in case you were wondering.

24hoZZT and Day of Zeux

Myth, after Mono's absence, has decided to take over the 24 Hours of ZZT contest for this winter. Visit the official page at http://www.inquo.net/~myth/24hozzt/.

After the Winter 24hoZZT was announced, Kev Vance decided he might as well hold a Winter Day of Zeux. Visit its page on zeux.org.
