History of CNZ By TinTango. 13/11/08, 12:07 am |
| Hey guys, I have another group of questions I had about the origin of Cosplay NZ. Who started this group? Who started the forum? How were you guys keeping in contact prior to this forum existence? Is this CNZ like an Association... Cosplayers Anonymous?
Maybe our introduction thread should go something like: "Hi my name's Tom, and I'm a Cosplayholic... it's been 3 weeks since my last Cosplay". |

| Kay I wrote this out but theres little I remember know ^^; ah well I'll post it anyway and the others can fill in da gaps~
The founding members are pretty much all the moderators on here? Yah Admin created it, but I can't remember who suggested the idea ^^
We all met on the cosplay.com and pulpspace (armageddon) forums... discussing cosplay and games we could do etc. So we kept in contact though those forums, as well as getting each others msn~ Tammy decided to hold a Auckland Cosplay Picnic (ACP), which were what these forums were originally created for. The url was this: aucklandcosplay.forumotion.com
Cosplayers from around the country continued to join so instead of creating a new forum for NZ, this one was changed.
Thats kinda the jist of it I think...
psst forums birthday on the 24th ^^ |

| Admin started the forum, but it was originally the Auckland Cosplay Picnic forum. It used to be at: http://aucklandcosplay.forumotion.com/.
As it gradually grew and more out of Auck people joined the focus gradually shifted and it was renamed to CNZ.
Prior to that most people that most groups had their own little haunts to keep in touch. The Wellington people had a couple of threads on the cosplay.com forums. Not sure where Chch or Auck posted before that.
Now pretty well all the regular cosplayers know each other, and with the exception of the Wellington ones who seem to have resisted joining these forums (noone knows why), most of them congregate here.
Edit: lol, yeah, i forgot about the pulpspace forums, although they have a tendency to die and have to be restarted, so not too many people have hung around them. |

| mwhah I bet you. Haha the new pulpspace forums are quiet now aren't they oO; But when they did work, quite a few cosplayers had met up there, or found our cosplay.com threads from links posted there.
On cosplay.com, Auckland had quite a few threads, I think it all started with the seeking KH2 cosplayers 07 (thats where most of us met and it all started (I think), my friend was the one to start the thread so thats how I found it. Actually she was the one that said we should cosplay in the very beginning when armageddon finally came to us =3), followed by the Auckland Cosplay Picnic~ Chch didn't have any till geddon this year I think? Most the cosplayers at the chchcontest last year were either part of the anime tribe or from Dunedin, so yeah didn't need forums. ~though msn ftw. There were at least two New Zealand Cosplay threads (if I remember right) but they didn't really start till later on. |
