Banner Ad Links to Geocities Sites
I noticed on the main page of the Z2 Website that a few of the top banner ads link to old Geocities sites that no longer exist... unfortunately due to Yahoo's decision to dump Geocities.
I'm not sure how maintained the website is, or if these types of reports looked at. Just thought I'd mention.
Also, how does one get a banner ad? Is it free if it pertains to anything ZZT?

If it's related to ZZT and you make a banner and submit it (you can use the submit page) it will likely be used. If it's only vaugely related to zzt or not related at all, you might have to do some convincing. There is no price for a banner ad and there probably won't be anytime soon

I archived a bunch of Geocities pages a while back, just before they shut down.
There's a bunch of stuff I've been putting off, but sometime I could tidy up the Geocities archive and change the Geocities URLs for the banners.
Man, I've been putting off a lot of stuff. :(

Also, the link to the project development page of "Plastic" under Affiliates is now a broken link or the page no longer exists.
The link to "Home of the Underdogs" seems to point to something completely different now. Perhaps the original owner didnt pay his bill for the domain.
Is there anyone in charge of the site at all?

There are many many issues on the website, most importantly that robot text file and the meta datas and broken links. I would love to join on the web administration team, not so much for moderation but for helping out with fixes and improves to the site and forum if possible?

I approve of this and if I could remember the ftp info would give you it.
I cleaned out a bunch of the banners myself and the data for them.
I couldn't find it in me to delete some of the old banners though. http://zzt.org/timecapsule/re ... s/list.php

I see you put the wiki link in the main bar, good job.
also underdogs new address is actually http://hotud.org/ now. None of their sites link to us anymore :(
I've seen sites with JAVA dos box emulators, how hard would it be to set something up to play ZZT on the site? Any game click and play.
Is westhost ipv6 ready? is anybody?

A Java applet for playing ZZT games would be really neat. It might be difficult to set it up to play any game from the archive, because the Java emulators I've seen usually require disk images, not zip files. It would definitely be possible to set up a disk image with some preselected games -- maybe the 10 best games you can complete in one sitting (seeing as your savegames would disappear if you left the page).
IPv6: WestHost probably supports it, but it might not be on whatever plan Insidious got. IPv4 is well-entrenched.

Meaning we won't exclude anybody if we're IPv4 only. Everyone speaks IPv4 because that's what everyone else speaks. If someone only spoke IPv6, there would be a bunch of websites he/she wouldn't be able to visit.
IPv6 seems like the way of the future, and I would like to patronize it. But that might involve hassle and money.
