The History of CNCNZ

[J-Fire_Man 0]

I'm curious to know about the history of CNCNZ since it's birth until now. I joined this community since 14 March 2004, it's been around 6 months, so I don't know CNCNZ from the first time it's been made. I too want to know how Sonic found this site and the history of the moderators and administrators.

Well you could read the history page located here: http://www.cncnz.com/site/history.shtml

The problem that page is so far out date, I haven't update it for a very long time. If I find the time I'll get it fixed up this week because a lot change lately.

 

Anyway here is a short summary.....

 

CNCNZ.com began as a Tiberian Sun site called the Tiberian Sun Zone in late 1997, by mid 1998 I changed it into TiberianSun.Net.NZ, or TSNNZ for short. After the release of TS I started to plan out what I then called Command & Conquer NZ. For a short time I toyed with the name CNC.Net.NZ since the domain at the time was www.cnc.net.nz, as time went by the name became CNCNZ because thats how everyone mentioned it on their sites.

 

Once we purchased the www.cncnz.com domain in the middle of 2000 I changed the name again by adding the .com part a few months later, the site officially became CNCNZ.com.

 

For our USA friends this is how you correctly pronounce the name

C - N - C - N - ZED dot COM

C - N - C - N - ZED dot COM

ohh, I spell it like this:

C - N - C - N - ZET dot COM

It all depends on your language or acent I guess. Here in New Zealand we say the letter "Z" as ZED, Americans say it as ZEE.

Even though in the UK it's ZED for us. I tend to pronounce it as ZEE because of an obvious rhyme with CNC... a personal preference, it's just that it sounds better to me :wink:

ZED here too. Even in my english. ZEE sounds more C like.
