Welcome to The Round Table everyone! All the staff hope you've had a great time here so far. We've spent a lot of time getting this site ready for you and we're really happy with how it turned out. There are loads of unique features for you guys to check out including this, the monthly newsletter you are reading! Every month, we'll have a new newsletter for you guys to find out about the latest community news, read about what the staff are up to and have a little fun as well.

As no doubt many of you have noticed, our first contest is up and running. Unusual Combinations encourages members to think outside the norm and really get creative with exhibit design. To learn more, click here. Since we're still new, this is the only contest for now, but once we get more members, expect many more activities each month! There may even be a second contest up within the next week so stay tuned! Also, check out our first game contest, Guess the Animal. There will be prizes for the lucky winners, so check it out to learn more. If you have an idea for a future contest or event we could have here, feel free to post your ideas in the Staff PM Box!

Here you can find complete information about all of our features. At the Round Table, we strive to be different from the other forums in the community. Some of our older members may remember the old site having a Staff PM Box and private rooms. Well they're back, and joined by many additional things to make us stand out such as the Mini-Profile Zoo and the Tutorial Database. Please take the time to learn about all of our features and have a great time!

Jragonizer:
Also known as JRA in the community, and Josh by friends, Jragonizer has been in the Community since 2011. Joining the community, like most other members, for downloads and design support, he quickly fell in love with his new internet family and even after loosing interest in the game, Zoo Tycoon, he continued to post in discussion topics and support threads. Early on in his addiction to the Community, JRA established close bonds with many members, particularly zebrasorus, whom he cocreated Original Zoo Tycoon 2 Round Table along with many of his other close connections. Later, Josh would take several long breaks from the Community, but he always found himself coming back to his net-home.

Zozmonster:
Previously known as zebrasorus, zozmonster has been in the community for almost 2 years. She began at Tesara, finding her place in the graphics section, but slowly expanded her interests to designing and zoobuilding at Northern Skies and Gaia. Zoz is probably best known for her graphics or zoos in the community, but tries to be decent at all areas in the community. While she is active at Gaia, she will primarily focus on this site.

Danny:
Danny, usually known as Dannelboyz or DBz, has been an active member in the community for two years. He first joined Aurora Designs Forums and later moved to Northern Skies, Gaia and then here. In January, 2012, he became Member of the Month at Northern Skies and in Spring, 2012, he became Member of the Season at Gaia. Danny is currently a VIP at Gaia but spends most of his time here at The Round Table. He always enjoys a good chat so if you're bored, please send him a PM!

Each month, we will be posting a few poll questions for all of you to vote in! This month, the poll is themed mostly around your views of us, the staff. Click here to vote!

This section is empty, seeing as we just opened, but you could be in next month's news! For just a few pointies, your zoo could be seen by the entire forum. Interested? In the Staff PM Box, make a topic stating that you would like to have an advertisement in our next issue. Our staff would be glad to talk with you and set it up so your topic, whatever it is, is in the spotlight!

We've only just opened and we'll definitely make sure that we have even more for you to read in our next newsletter! If you would like to participate, make sure you ask us via the Staff PM Box. How can you help? There are loads of ways you could help in our next newsletter. You could write your own articles for it, help interview members, come up with polls and questions, report to the staff about what's been happening around the community and more! If you feel like you have something that's worth putting in the newsletter, don't be afraid to ask!
