i just came across a post mentioning the 'old zootopia' and gathered that its an old forum or something - is there any way to access it or is it defunct now?
 
Im a member of U2.com! Zootopia is still there! But i don't know why but i find it a little weird to use......I don't know what the problem is( i think the font is much smaller...making it harder to read....and moving around in the forum is a little tricky!), i just find interference better for forums!

The "old" zootopia that people talk about was much better than the "new" zootopia. I don't think there's any way to access the old zoo though.
yeah, just like you can't access the old interference. (a couple years ago, elvis upgraded the forum software)

i too doubt the old zootopia is accessible but you'd probably get a more definite answer over there :wink:
 
That makes me nostalgic. I used to lurk in here when I was in high school, back in the days when the dinosaurs walked the earth.

Now that was hard to read, the pages from 1997. Definitely improved.

I was a very frequent poster of the old zootopia and am currently still posting on the new zootopia.

I recall someone claiming they had a bunch of screencaps from the old zootopia but whether the person still has them, that I don't know but I saw a link to the caps.

Gonna get all nostaligic here...bear with me, or skip it. :shrug:

It was a greenish blue background with black font. I lurked at interference for a bit, got an email from U2.com to check out the new forum (at that time late 2001), and lurked there too. Actually the first post I made was disagreeing with someone else's take on ATYCLB. Then I checked out the other sub-forums they had, there was a sub-forum for different topics, albums, singles, videos, individual band members, political or religious/spiritual topics, a general subforum. (anything that didn't fit anywhere else).

For the most part, the people were pretty fun to chat with. I made a lot of "online buddies" there, I still chat with some of them, some are members here, only a handful stuck around in the new Zootopia.

I mostly read/posted in the individual band member's forums, kinda like Pleba but without as many pics and a lot more nonsense. ;) Be like, hey did you see ____in that video, how hot is he...then there'd be a discussion of what someone was doing for the weekend, then back to said band member. Very casual laidback atmosphere.

The new Zootopia is fun too but I do miss the old Zootopia.

As the Lemon Turns, what a riot! (fan fiction)

Any other old zootopians around?, I know I'm not the only one who posts at multiple U2 forums.
 
I actually have an offline archive of 'the old zootopia'... but I've got no idea where it is at the moment... I think I burned it to DVD awhile ago.

Basically, when I got word that the 'old' Zootopia was going to go 'byebye' with no real promise of leaving a trace ... I wrote a script to archive it all in a read-only format. Even if I find the copy of it, I really don't think I'd legally be able to put it online as it was owned by U2.com.
