  zoom-bizarre had to undergo a change
2004-05-25

As you may have noticed already the concept of zoom-bizarre has changed. In the past the shop was a direct part of our website and our activities. Eight years we could run this system successfully, but since longer time it was getting obvious that it is a obsolescent model. 
Some few members of the inner circle had to care for too many things, so a lot of these couldn't be realized as intended. Instead of having also some pleasure with zoom-bizarre, it inclined to an ogre system, eating off nearly all spare time we were able to invest in zoom. Projects as other interesting sites caring for special features, our videos, shootings, stories and many more ones had to smart under this pressure. The attempt to be a platform for other friends and to present you new interesting things of the scene was falling behind. 

 

the solution

Over a long period we discussed a lot of possible ways leading out of the initiating difficulties. And here is the result now:
 

- zoom-bizarre.com / .net will go back to the roots, presenting itself as platform for all fetish lovers. We design and test various tools, toys, garments and other items for and from csara.net and other suppliers. We try to realise a mix of magazine and database concerning the different fetish aspects. Friends are welcome to join us and to present their own contributions. From now on zoom-bizarre is officially a community of interest. 
- csara.net is the new fetish shop with a professionally made shopping system. Csara will offer the items designed by zoom, but also articles from other designers and suppliers to serve you in a better way. Members of zoom will assist this shop. 
- videos will be distributed soon by a friendly company
- special sites  to avoid problems concerning minors, new sites will be installed which are only accessible when we are sure that the visitor is of legal age and deserves the access. 
Mai 2004 We have to apologize not updating the site regularly at the moment..
When we started in December 2003 with our new shopping system, we thought to get it done within several weeks. Now months have passed, but we are ready finally. Some lacks as a provisional design, a lot of missing articles and empty categories, we try to relieve during the coming weeks. Nevertheless we have to say many thanks to our friends David and Michael, who constructed the shop completely new with the help of an open source program. Nearly no leisure time was available for them during this period, but the result was worth it in our opinion.
Naturally it would have been easier and faster to buy a finished shop, but we intended to create one which is able to cover all the problems of our multifariously offer and to invest the saved money in the development of new articles.
We also hope to have more time for zoom-bizarre in future, when the shop is finished completely. In the past months we had a lot of problems caused by different things and so also some dissatisfied customers who had to wait a long time for their goods. Sorry for this. It wasn't our intention and we work hard to avoid such difficulties in future. Now we see how easy everything can run if there is an organisational structure as this shop. Please tell us if you have ideas to improve it. The shop is made for you and not for us ;o)
