March 30th 2001:WELCOME! The Aqua Zone 2.7 is here! the change of the style is much nicer and makes the site more Techy looking. Guess what over 60 typos have been eliminated also!

April 15th,2001:Happy Easter from your friend at The Aqua Zone!

April 19th,2001:Some important News Today, I am going to begin reworking all my reviews. There are lots of typos and in many places they are fragmented. I will also try to add stats. No promises I have tons of school work to do (ever notice teachers like to give you a ton of stuff towards the end of the year.) Also the News Archive is actually working, after months of promises I finally made one. In other news Super Soaker Atlantica (run by Sapper) was kicked out of the web ring and Yahoo! club partially because of me. He wants 50 Guest Book signatures to get back into the Web-Ring (fat chance) The founders have not agreed to it, and I doubt it will work. Sapper if your reading this (probably are)I wish you the best of luck trying to get back in. Maybe you could merge with Hydrolosyis you guys have alot in commen. Thats enough ranting and raving for today.

April 20th,2001: I actually did something on my Easter vacation today besides sleeping late, I did the stats on some of my soakers! Heres the one I got WHICH ARE NOT IN METRICS! Yes don't fear America the evil times of converting metrics is over! I did thr Splashzooka,Monster 2001,SC-600,XP-240, and the XP-270. On a side note for the range tests what I do I measure it from where the main stream lands not how far those little fragments go.

April 27,2001: CONTEST! Nope no prize but, if anyone finds it they are pretty good or just really bored. Rember the old style the Aqua Zone had? (see History/Background)If you can find the page I never changed E-Mail me at: Budgiesoaker@yahoo.com this excuse for a contest in ends Monday.PM I finally got a 310 excpect review soon!

April 29,2001:Today to my amazement I wasted $54.69 on the MONSTER XL thats right I got a Monster XL its huge! Expect review later on this week, same for the XP-310. They are both very special guns and they deserve good reviews so stay tuned. Also thanks to Rob Mercer(or Reaper) I made a slight correction in sniping.

May 8th,2001: Sorry I have been gone, but there has been alot of complications on my side. School has turned into a nightmare from hell, and my keyboard is broken. For the next 2 weeks or so don't expect to here much from me.

A sad day in the soaker world indeed, we mourn or celabrate two events. Last night Aquatica Founder Aquatechnology announced that he will retire being founder of Aquatica and he already has he has rejoined as Isoaker.com and deleted Aquatechnology. Everyone load up your biggest soaker and fire it off for Aquatechnology.
