Zeta Board Theme Zone- A review of a great community forum

ZBTZ is very popularly known as Invisionfree Skin Zone (IFSZ) is now known as Zeta Board Theme Zone since the change of a name of Invisionfree message board to Zeta Boards. This is my review to one of the most successful forum board community I ever came across.

Look and Feel

A very professionally designed and arranged forum which sooths your eyes. ZBTZ is one of the most attractive and beautiful forum in my view, though it has very few modifications installed but it is very easy to navigate and browse this BIG BOARD. Since I am the member of this forum I saw two major skin changes and both are the best invisionfree skinners can give. The forums are arranged very nicely to search or browse any particular forum topics and I must say that this is the forum where one will never feel bore to stay online.

Content and Member’s activities

More than 200K of members from all over the world had gave there valuable time making this board a power pack of content related to invision free forum board skins, graphics, modifications, hacks and general discussions, I was surprised to see the activities of members on this board when I was very new to forum board administration, it was difficult to understand for me that why anyone will give so much time without getting any benefit but I was wrong, the members of ZBTZ enjoys every bit of the board either it’s to show off there newly made skins or graphics or they are busy burning there brain in brain juice forum where they debate on really mature topics and current issues of world. The flowing of posts increase there social circle and knowledge both, I admit that ZBTZ is not a message board only but it’s a very strong and equally beautiful community of mostly teenagers.

There are many good forums providing services same like ZBTZ but most of them failed to make there forum board a community because members joins for a purpose of getting free skins or a modification code for there forum and leave the board as soon as there purpose get solved but story is different for ZBTZ, here members keep on visiting and posting even after there main purpose of joining this forum is already solved and that’s the key to success of ZBTZ which has a strong members community who are really addicted to this superb forum of invision free.

Besides the general activities and discussions the ZBTZ community have lots of competitions and tournaments to boost the spirits of there members who show off there skills and arts in different field of graphics and skin designing. And get rewarded with gifts and prizes.

Service and Moderation

A great example of team management, leadership, dedication, coordination and love for ZBTZ is found in every staff of this community from the post of Administrator to the moderators, it look like a big bunch of teenage professionals handling a multi billion dollar company where they are getting paid thousands of dollars every week but that’s not a fact because all staff of ZBTZ are working voluntarily and don’t charge a single cent for there service. kudos! To the great staff of ZBTZ, there work really impressed each and every member of the community.

The special thing I like is one who left the team will be honored as a “retire” member and even leaving the team officially that member will be still giving his support and service unofficially, now the question is who are these dedicated staff? And why they are so dedicated? And the answer I got is these people are crazy and thirsty gang of artists and c coders who are passionate about graphics and skins and forum administration and they enjoy every bit of it while making skins and codes for others with no charge in return.
