TheTAZZone was formed on December 24th, 2005…it was derived from a series of Blogs…which were themselves the result of a growing dissatisfaction with forum communities….basically, we decided we could create something better…and we have.

TheTAZZone is a friendly community of network and security experts, artists, and everyday people. We provide a member-controlled forum enviroment, a relaxed chat room, a nice break in the games room, free services to members, and are ever striving to create additions and improvements on a regular basis.

We hope you will join our growing community and share your knowledge and experience, we welcome new members and encourage you to invite your friends.
We want to create the best experience on the net and we welcome you to come along for the ride…wherever that ride takes us.

WORLD DOMINATION.
THE TAZ WAY

Whoring our way into History

Yes…we plan to take over the Internet World one post at a time…we will crush our enemies
( slams boot on desk ) and maim and torture
our foes ( pretty cool
huh? )… OK…seriously…we have no intention
of crushing, maiming, or torturin…
however…we do have plans to spank, tickle, slap, and violate!

Oooooh!…we new you’d like that…you sick, twisted, little freak you!

A Brief History of TAZ

August 20th, 2005
We start the blogs…Egalitarian Graphics , Jinxy’s Hideaway, Debs Dungeon, The Und3rtak3r’s Realm, The Fox House, The Anti-Lounge, Eleven Dot Dot Com, and others…
December 22nd, 2005
We create the TAZ website on a free web-host
as a temporary home until a more permanent home can be found.

December 24th, 2005
The Forum is Started…In less than 20 days
we have 30 members and over 2000 posts and things are looking good as the search engines were starting to pick us up.

DECEMBER 27TH, 2005
Our website is Official…
and we get the domain name
thetazzone.com

JANUARY 16TH, 2006

then…
a series of setbacks…several downtimes,
e-mails not working, database problems, and people having trouble connecting to the site, logging-on, and registering…
time to move the site.

Work begins on the TAZ website
primarily as a result of the problems encountered at the
TAZ Forums the website becomes the
primary focus.

MARCH 6TH, 2006
We are starting to realize our goals. Many members are
now standing up and taking a personal interest in the
site; a sign that they are taking control of the forum;
which was the original intent.
To have a member-run and controlled forum…
it’s future is now in their hands and the future looks very promising.

JUNE 19TH, 2006
On this day we reached our first 20,000 posts
…5 days before our 6th month anniversary.

AUGUST 5TH, 2006
Back in the first week of July we experienced our first real influx of visitors from Digg as a result of tutorials by nokia and J_K9. Membership rose from less than 100 to over 200, and now sits at over 300.
Also, to note, we are quickly approaching the 30,000 mark in posts…we presently sit at
29,905 and will surpass 30,000 by the end
of the day.

JUNE 10TH, 2007
Guess it’s time to update again…in the last 6 months we’ve added two more domains ( TheTAZZone.net and TheTAZZone.org )…and more recently more forums ( No Guts No Glory, TAZ CycleStop, Women Rule, TheSecurityZone, and TheSportsEmporium )…the forum ( TAZForum ) is now over 76,000 posts strong with approx. 1500 members…because we
don’t exaggerate our stats and our forums are AD-Free there’s really no need to…so…we
delete Spam accounts and duplicate accounts and neglected accounts regularly…otherwise our membership would be well into 5000 by now…seriously!
Anyways…what else?…the website ( TheTAZZone.com ) has had another face-lift…well…not yet, at the time of writing
this it hasn’t been put up or finished yet….but
by the time you read this it will be.

SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2007
Work has started on a new website for TheTAZZone.com….this version…the 5th
version since it’s inception

OCTOBER 25TH, 2007
Three more domains were purchased to add to The TAZ Network of Sites:

TheBikerZone.net
TheSportsZone.org
and
TheGamesZone.org
