Terrible AJ Vids

I've pretty hooked on YouTube LPs as of recent, so naturally I roam around on the Animal Jam side and I see really terrible videos. Videos about how to scam, hack, bully and everything else under the sun. Is this seriously what Animal Jam has morphed into??

For example:

\

By just looking "animal jam how to" you get these results. The first two are how to cheat and get free membership and the fifth is how to hack. This is really upsetting. Are there that many people who like to spend their time hacking into a site where a large portion of the players are under the age of 13?? 

And....um... if you simply looking up 'animal jam' one of the first results will be 'animal jam mating' .-. Just WHY. Has anybody else seen anymore disturbing or upsetting AJ vids? I'd like to make another post with more than one example. And I'm kind of curious lol

I'm not dead!

I am back... after like a 3 or 4 day hiatus >.< So here's a quick update (really early in the morning because I like to exhaust myself by staying awake until 1 am and waking up at 7 -.-)

My membership ran out and I'm saving for 6 months, so I may not have my membership back until middle-late next month.

From what I see on the poll, most people are okay with school, 2 people hate it and 2 people love it. If you haven't voted yet; there's still time!

Now an update on the hackers & scammers:

X - He stills seems to be playing the 'all my rares got stolen/taken my AJ staff' game. Which means nothing in his den has changed.

7 - Still nothing from 7.

duder8888 - I don't think he's been on since our last encounter. Therefore I can't check his den :\

HyperDunk - I've never talked about this guy but FYI he is a total hacker. It's not even a question. Today I checked and his den was locked.... what is he hiding? :o well not much since everyone has since his huge stash of betas.

I'll be sure to do another possible scammer post.... I haven't done one in a month or two o.o time flies.

Otters are ruining everything

You heard. Otters are going to be the death of me. Annoying people complain about the otters are everywhere!

"Why do all the pets cost diamonds?"

"I need an otter!"

"No fair! Show off!"

I personally, give 0 craps about this new pixel pet. Animal Jam is fun while it lasts and once you turn older, who is going to care about the otter pet you never got? Most likely no one. Sure, the otters were cute, but no need to get upset over it. So please, people who want the otter and feel the need to complain on AJ, please stop. 

~~

Now excuse me while I go get my picture taken for school .-. Gaaah! My whole room smells like hair spray. I hope the teachers know I'm missing a new episode of my favorite show for this.

I'm Back!

Another update post... yeah....   So anyway, I'm back! :D I never actually went anywhere, I was just not inspired to blog so I left for a few days. Anything bad happened when I was gone? I'd hope not D:

Today on AJ I got a tiny pet rhino and its sooooo cute! <3 I'll probably make a post about that later today. It's a really good deal now because they changed the price from 2 gems to 3 so it's more affordable! :)

I don't have much news about AJ, so I guess I'll just blog about upcoming stuff in RL~

I go back to school in the start of September so I won't be posting much then because my teachers always insist on giving me piles of homework (even on the first day .-.) I'll try my best but I warn you that I may or may not rant about school stuff every so often.

After the poll I've seen that pretty much everyone is okay with me doing monthly favorites. Which means at the end of the month I'll do a list of stuff. Speaking of polls, I've changed the poll and now I can see how many people like or dislike school!

And have some people already started school?!? *shudder* I'm glad I still have a week left. Starting school is August would be terrible.

Thanks for reading and I'm 99.9% sure I'll double post today. Bye!

I'm in a terrible mood

Hey everyone! This post is hopefully going to be short, but knowing me it won't be. I just want to say that I may not be posting anything today or next week at this time. Next week I'm going to a family wedding and I'll probably be gone two days. As for today... it's a semi long story. I'm sure nobody will really care about what happened but I feel like when I tell people about things it makes me feel better. So please excuse this random post.

Note: If you have a phobia of pointy objects or the doctor, I suggest you do not read. 

Okay, so almost a year ago to this day, I went to the doctor. Nothing serious, nothing major happened. The problem started with a shot. You're probably like, 'so what, it was a shot. no biggie.' And that is true, but that isn't the reason. I went home and on my old account (which I deleted) and blogged about one of the shots hurt really bad. And this shot is what started it all. It took nearly a week for the pain to stop, and even then it hurt every so often. Then a few months later, it started twitching. Yes, twitching. I wouldn't even move the muscle, it would just twitch D: It would go on for about a day whenever I put any pressure on it. Then it would stop. Then a few months later the same thing would happen again in the same place the shot happened. And through the year, it happened about 3-4 times. It happening again today and I freaked out. I told my mom about it and she can't call the doctors until Monday.

Has anybody else had this happen to them? Any idea on what is happening? :S Once again, sorry about this whole drama, just needed to blog about my issues.

The problem w/ Fashion shows

We all love fashion shows on Aj. Power. Control. Showing off your precious items. Okay, so maybe that isn't the reason most people go to fashion shows. So why are fashion shows a bad idea? I'll explain:

1. Annoying Brats everywhere- There's a large section of 8 year old brats on Animal Jam, you can't deny it. And most likely they will be searching for attention in multiple ways. They usually beg for items and cause issues wherever they go. And what a better place to do that then at... fashion shows. See an item they want? Not for trade. Pshh, nothing is stopping them from begging. Did they lose the round? Let's start a riot!
2. Nonmember exclusion- It doesn't happen so often, but I have seen people excluding nonmembers from fashion shows and other places repeatedly. It also becomes an issue when the judge seems to pick off nonmembers first just because they can't get a certain item to make the very specific theme work.
3. Winners are the worst- Okay. So the fashion show is done, and half of the contestants are already gone. The annoying person of course-- and gets a prize. The judge delivers the prize and.... it's a plushie from the claw! :D They will never have this, no. They have won fair and square by doing nothing but put virtual clothes on! They are entitled to have a better item than this!! /endsarcasm 
4. Manipulation- There's always at least one person there to manipulate the judge into feeling bad for them. It can range from a sad smiley to a full blown "I'm totally going to lose, bye guys." The worse part is the judge usually gives in and kicks you out instead. And when their time actually comes to leave, they will be the first to cry, I guarantee.

But no matter happens, we can all agree fashions shows and 100 times better than Best Dressed xD it's the truth. 

so now i will be going to bed because it is almost 1 in the morning and I am not tired because of an amazing thing called sugar. thanks for reading.

Rude People- MY ULTIMATE PET PEEVE.

I get this JAG from someone:

 I kindly say "It's not for trade, sorry!" Then they say this:

Me saying this in my head: Brat. You're just angry you didn't get a headdress. :I

Even Moar Rude Jammers

Time for more rude jammers :D The first person on our list is this girl right here:

Geez, it's just a chair.

I didn't even bother looking at her username. I was bored so I went to a wolf clan, and sat down on one of the chairs (I was still a bunny, lol). Then Princess came here and starting telling me to get off her chair because she was the 'daughter' of the owner of the den. Then she started threatening to lock then den. She left for awhile, then came back and asked her 'mom' if she could be a leader to which her mom said no and she said she would run away. If that wasn't enough, the mom locked her den even before anybody got started!! What a waste.

The second person was even worse. Their username was kitcat47732 and they sent me a jam-a-gram asking if I wanted to trade. I checked out their list and they stuff that I really wanted, so I went to her den and said that I came to trade w/ her like she asked. Then she said "nm" (nevermind) and locked the den! Seriously?? 

Thanks for reading and head on over to this post at FATE that I wrote. 

I WAS AN EPIC DEN?

So because my brother feels that this wasn't that important (?!) he decided not to tell me that a few days ago I was an epic den?? I hope this was true but my younger brother lies a lot -.- 

Secondly, I've made a trolling account where I can basically be a spazz. The username is clownmakeup (very fitting, ik) and if you ever see me on there feel free to add me :D And don't take anything serious that I say xD

Did anybody hear about the passing of Robin Williams? I'm kind of a Disney addict so it was kind of sad to hear that the man who played the Genie in Aladdin and many other media died. Rest in peace :(

And lastly I see that this blog has reached 1000+ views :o Thank you so much everybody who has read and been apart of this blog. I feel like doing an official giveaway but I'm not sure what everybody would want from me xD

I'll be working on some possible scammers soon. Thanks for reading everyone!

Items Lost

So a couple hours ago Animal Jam was down maintenance like usual. The only different thing was that I lost a few items I got during the hour before it went down for maintenance. Luckily it wasn't anything extreme: just 2 chairs from Jam Mart Furniture and a flag from the flag store. That totaled to about 1,000 gems earning and buying loss. Did this happened to anyone else? If so, what did you lose?

Whatever the staff did during the maintenance, hopefully one of the things were fixing the glitches.

Lots o' Glitches

More glitches time! :D Let's start off with my new personal fave way to troll. Its called being literally invisible. A user called lillig50024 was saying that there was glitch that when you go into her den as any water animal (except for penguin and seal, which didn't work) and come out invisible. And so to test out this theory I did exactly that. I was in the underwater den as my turtle for like 5 seconds when we were locked out and landed in Coral Canyons as ghosts. The funny thing was is that other people saw us like this and we went around saying "boo!" to everyone. Too bad the effect wears off as soon as you leave your current location.

Posing for the camera! Or are we...?

The last glitch is one that I've experienced many times these past 2 days. It's not a fun glitching and can result in awkward situations if you're looking at a scammers/hackers den. The other day I got kind of freaked out because a player dressed up as fman asked to have one of my items and I said no. I made a post about it yesterday but decided it was probably pure coincidence what happened. To make a long story short, I felt as if that person was following me. I checked their player card from a jam-a-gram they sent me and it said they were offline. I went to go look at their den and seconds later the person came into their den. I did this a few times and I was kind of confused why this person seemed to be getting onto Aj and into their den at the same time I did. I finally decided to stop and look up their username, and on that player card it said they were online which lead me to the conclusion that something was glitching with the jam-a-gram system. And as I said before, this has happened multiple times; so don't be fooled by the player card. 

New Parlor Theme

This is kind of a weird post because this blog mainly has to do with the fact of bad experiences but today I wanted to do something nice and talk about the new item theme. Apparently jammers were voting for what theme they wanted (I had no clue this was going on btw) and the winner was..... Icecream parlor! I'm so excited and happy and I can't wait until they come out with more items for the theme. I've pretty much set up my parlor which is why the plushie giveaway is on hold until further notice. People who previously asked for some but never got any are still able to get them.

It's done! For now.....

So whether member or nonmember, you can buy items from this collection. If you're a nonmember you only have about 3 items to choose from, but it's better than nothing. 

If anybody has the sweet treats wallpaper, I'd be willing to trade for it with my beta wood floor (see in the pic above). If you want to trade, jam-a-gram me or you can comment below. Thanks for reading!

duder8888 has returned

Remember duder8888? (if you don't you can just use the search bar on the side of the this blog and search 'is this jammer a hacker or scammer') I was kind of giving up on finding more about him and if really does scam or hack. Now it's not like I stalk him or something, but guess how I found him. I was just going into Jamaa and he was just standing there. What are the chances? I quickly went into his den and at first glance nothing had changed except that he took away all those arcade games and out the beta items in that room. I'll try and see today if I can get a picture of what he's changed.

On the last post most people (including me) thought that this person was a hacker, scammer or maybe even both. But have I found proof that maybe he's just a millionaire in disguise. If you go to the Animal Jam homepage, scroll above and click on the tab that says "gifts". There, you can buy 100,000 gems for $60. Doing the math, you can only buy 10 gold blocks. I'm not entirely sure if I already covered this in the old post but I'm too lazy to check.

I'm kind of leaning toward the idea that he's a hacker because it would take a ton of scamming to get so many things.

Why Flashing is annoying

Hello everyone! I've decided to talk about something called 'flashing' today.What flashing is basically somebody sends you a trade but they quickly decline. So why is it 'bad'? (or just super annoying) Well a few reasons, actually. 

1. Somebody could accidentally click accept and trade the items (which is probably the main reason for flashing)
2. Trying to tease somebody.
3. Just to be an annoying troll with nothing better to do on AJ.

Flashing kind of reminds me of an old way people use to scam newbies on the site. Back when Animal Jam hadn't implemented the feature where you have to click the accept button 2 times before getting the items scammers would tell people to click exactly on an item where the accept button was. Usually they would say if you click on the item enough you would get a glove (back when gloves were super popular) when instead they would rob you of the best item on your list. 

So what does everybody else think of the flashing thing? A harmless annoyance or something that could be considered scamming?  And feel free to answer the poll before you leave~ thanks :)

Long Update AJ Style

Update time :D Let's getting started with the rants:

I can't be the only one scared to open their den... am I? Everytime I open it random people seem to come flooding into my den  o-o He-lloooo? Privacy people? :| But seriously, this morning I opened my den and I was bored so I was dancing in Jamaa and some girl went into my den and tried to claim one of my items xD My natural reaction was of course "wth is she doing". So I told her I think she had the wrong place and this wasn't a store. She made a face and then I eventually left my den and she was still in there for like 2 more minutes :\ I then went to a trading party and she was there begging somebody for a beta item when they already said. So yeah, pretty much just bad experiences :p

I was thinking doing monthly AJ favorites would be pretty cool. Would anybody actually want to see that? I know how boring my posts are xD Example: Favorite Clothing item this moth, favorite den item etc etc. I'll probably put a poll up just to be sure.

I've done a lot of stuff about hacking lately, so I'll try to even it out an do more scamming stuff.

Thanks for reading! 

7's Membership is gone!

I've been pretty obsessive with 7 lately, haven't I? :p The only reason being is that X has been inactive for at least a week now.

So anyway, 7's membership seems to have expired (or maybe AJ suspended him? idk) But his den is still full of tons of nm betas.

Some beta tables, some beta pillows? 

Empty seats?? Could he be planning to get more of these beta pillows to finish the den? o-o

Seriously? :|

And the last bit of the den has MORE rares.
