Hi everyone.I was just wondering how Zoobeat was creating and what the idea behind it was.
 
Hi Zoogoer2000 - ZooBeat was created nearly 5 years ago ... I had an interest in zoos and there weren't any communities out there dedicated to discussing them, so started a new one.

I had no idea it would evolve the way it has - the level of knowledge and enthusiasm from our members has far surpassed anything I imagined!

Here's a link to the very first thread - October 19, 2003: http://www.zoobeat.com/32/welcome-1/

The gallery didn't even exist back then!

I think we all owe Sim a BIG vote of thanks for setting up this site!

I've learnt so much from it over the year or so since I discovered it. I've had to change many of my preconceived ideas (but not all.)
At the risk of repeating myself, I thought I was the only zoo "nut" around until I found all you lot!

Thanks, Sim.

It wasn't until the site started to take off that I realised I am nowhere near as "nutty" about zoos as some other people out there :p

I'm always amazed by the depth of knowledge and enthusiasm from the people on this site!

Thanks for the kind words Ara.
 
This site is all kinds of wonderful. :)

You should be proud of what you have created, Sim.
 
Yes , congratulations Sim , you have managed to unite many of us 'zoo nuts' of the world .

Let's not go overboard now :D

At the end of the day - all I have done is provided the infrastructure that allows people to come together. It may well have been a case of me throwing a party where nobody came (that has happened with other sites I created). I cannot claim the credit for making ZooBeat great, it is you the users who have achieved that, I was merely the catalyst with the right idea and the right skills who allowed it to happen.

... but I appreciate the sentiment anyway :)
