Hello friends,

It's been around 5 years since I last used proboards, so I doubt there are many of the same faces here now.. But it's worth a shot!

I set up a proboard forum called Zanmato Design a long while back. It did very well, we made some good friends and in my opinion raised the design standard for proboards notably.

Here is a link to an archive image:

It had a very good run, but came to an end with some controversy. Probably mostly down to the way I dealt with the closure.
Not going to make excuses, I did what I thought best at the time, which was for ZD (then ZC) to finish on a high note rather than fracturing into closure like many before it.

Anyway I just want to see if anybody is still about!
I have Mark (MrStabby) and Nick on facebook; the original admins. It would be great to hear from any former staff or members, and to see what you're all up to now.

As for me, I did a few web design jobs after ZC mainly for bands and music producers.
I then departed from the programming and design scene a little; I'm now a Royal Marines Commando, currently based in Scotland.

Also, how is this forum getting on? I know it was set up around the time we closed, and it seems to be one of the main design boards now?

Cheers =)

Tom - I know you don't remember me, but I definitely remember you.

Zanmato (in its proboards days) was an inspirational forum for me and was actually played a part in my deciding to dabble with graphic design. I still remember some of the UI mockups from what might have been ZDv3, had it ever come into existence.

It seems like communities such as these are all but dying, which really sucks.

Hi mate, good to hear from you.
After ZC on IPB closed, I gave the proboard over to the senior members. I never actually saw the plans for a v3 so that's interesting. :)

There will always be demand for sites like this. It's just the community side of things that is the struggle.

Tommmmmmm! I'm so glad I checked in today. This is Kay, I was going as Withheld Beauty or "WB" back then, mostly. We use to talk all the time. I was a mod, and then a global moderator for some time before the closure. It's nice to hear from you. :)

I am doing well! Well currently just working and saving up. I actually work for Amazon.com now. Trying to get a new car, and eventually a new apartment, haha. Grown up a lot since the last time we chatted.
