"Famous Jammers" I Actually Like

Gosh I can't believe I'm actually writing this post :shakes head:

Anyways, if you'd like to escape from the drama ridden community that seems to be the AJ community right now, I have a couple of people for you to follow that just make great, original content and are drama free. Or at least, I think they're drama free. If they aren't then they're at least not the culprits, or "bad guys" in the events occurring.


Choruss is a really sweet girl, who isn't very active because she just doesn't enjoy all of the drama happening. She's bepper's best friend, which has helped her on the road to becoming a famous jammer, but has definitely earned her place. Her Instagram is full of positive and encouraging jammers just like her, and is a welcome refuge from the rest of the community.


All right, everyone knows this one, but I still have to include her, she's just one of the best people to ever join the world of AJ in my opinion; with her positive and upbeat yet soft style, as well as her art and her editing, snowyclaw is a real gem in the messiness of the AJ life.


Blue is a really great person to follow if you enjoy videos that are informative, silly, and fun. Although she doesn't upload all that much, her videos are amazingly edited, and she seems like a fun person to be around!


Fallschapter runs sort of almost an Aparri fan account, except that account is her personal one on Instagram XD She really tries to promote positivity and can see the good in everyone (especially the big fish, like Aparri and Skorm). Her posts are funny and almost completely drama-free.


Foxbeats is one of the best artists on all of Animal Jam!! These are a few of they're paintings:



If you feel like a nice, drama-free, masterpiece-centered channel, this person is for you!


Piano is really there to make those good quality skits that make you genuinely laugh, because she's a fun, caring, good person.


I believe RockabillyKitty is Piano's sister, but I'm not completely sure :l. Anyways, that doesn't really matter. She's taken a break after a while, but has come back smoothly. She uploads interesting, and informative videos, so you should definitely check her out!


From what I've seen, Gellyjones just wants to have fun and make people laugh! She has great content on Youtube, and doesn't really seem to care about all of the drama going on in the community nowadays.


There's probably a whole bunch more popular people who have no connection to drama whatsoever, but to be honest, I couldn't find them! So leave your suggestions in the comments below, because I desperately need to add to this small list!

Famous Jammer Drama

Heyo Jammers! I'm technically supposed to be taking a break from all things AJ right now, but I think that this story is too important to ignore.

This whole situation involves the following influential and popular Jammers:






Every single one of these people was recently banned from Animal Jam. They originally just got a couple days of suspension, but recently some unknown person convinced AJHQ to completely ban all five accounts (Khrome, makeithappen21, Jurshy, Skorm, and Typicalrocky).

Khrome joking about the bannings on Instagram.

The reason they were banned is pretty simple, they all worked as a team to sell their AJ items for money. Skorm posted about this on Instagram but then deleted it. The post explains how he did in fact sell AJ items for money, and how sorry he was to all of his fans.


Skorm also mentioned another person in that post: IDozAnimalJamz, who was banned for multiple reasons, as well as selling items, which is why I didn't include him on this list. (He was documented hacking old beta accounts as well as some other things that aren't so kid-friendly).

He then deleted that post and in another one wishing his fans a Merry Christmas, posted this:



After that was when the unknown jammer supposedly was able to convince AJHQ to ban every single one of the accounts involved with the selling of items.


Khrome also had a few words to say on the subject.





Each one of the culprits with the exception of  Skorm joked a little bit about it on their Instagram accounts about being banned, but they all seemed okay with it. After all, Typicalrocky and makeithappen21 have already half quit, and Khrome already has a new account. No word on what Skorm is up to though, it's unclear whether he'll return to making videos in the future. Jurshy's future is also unclear, as I am unable to follow him on Instagram at the moment.

Update:

Just now Skorm has started posting about all of the drama that's been happening, apparently Aparri had something to do with it??


A conversation between makeithappen and Typicalrocky

And... yes, sure enough, Aparri did make a post about it!


So Aparri did nothing, which means that AJHQ simply changed their mind.

Extra Update:

Animal Jam just posted a response to all of the drama going on, and they seem to be pretty unhappy with it all. I think the post was made very quickly and by someone who may be fed up with all this drama.





Another person who was banned for being included in all of this scheming was a person called Phlexs, who seems to be pretty bitter for not getting his account suspended like the rest of them, instead getting a ban. After the news broke of all of the people involved getting banned, Phlexs decided to "expose" Aparri, which Skorm then reposted.


............... I'm so done.
 I don't know what to say to this. I honestly think that AJHQ might want to step back a little bit from the "famous jammers", because this could cause some serious problems in the future. This also makes me wonder why they haven't banned Aparri yet, assuming he has done what people said he has done.


Thanks for reading!

Animal Jam Etiquette

Hullo Internet!
When playing AJ, I always try to follow basic rules of politeness, and try to be kind to as many people as possible. However, some people don't seem to be able to fathom the possibility that they have to be kind to other people back. These are the basic rules I feel people need to follow when interacting with fellow Jammers on Animal Jam.

1. When entering someone's den, greet them before entering a conversation


It just really irks me when people don't say at least "hi" before asking me to trade them my spike for their item(s). Even if you're just coming to their den to talk, you have to at least say "Hello". It makes the atmosphere so much more inviting and makes me less grouchy!

2. If asking someone to gift you, be polite


Or, better yet, don't ask anyone to gift you at all! If someone gifts you, it should be out of the kindness of their own heart, not because you keep badgering them. In fact, just ask I was taking these screenshots, this person JAGs me this wonderful message:

Thanks bro.
3. Don't stand on people's animals!

For me, personal space does exist on AJ. You can be close to the other person, or maybe right behind them, but once you're obscuring their nametag, you are too close bud.

4. Don't insult other people's looks, no matter how eccentric they may be


Look, if that fox wants to wear a sparkly boa, rare clown mask, and a superhero cape, nobody can stop them! If that's what makes them happy, they can wear it and work it! There is no need for you to impose on their style and their online life.

5. Don't use the following emotes without reason


Come on, I know that I declined your trade, but that doesn't mean that you have the right to get into a virtual fight with me. It is immature and childish. 

6. Respond to all of your Jam-a-Grams


If you don't like their trade, put them down gently. Don't just ignore them and leave them hanging. I guess you aren't obligated to respond to JAGS that are from AJHQ or where the sender doesn't expect an answer, but if the person sending you the JAG expects an answer back, you have to give it to them.

That's it for some AJ etiquette, thanks for reading! 


PS. I just bought this adorable polar bear pet to twin with my new fox look! They're so cute together!

Penguin and Outfits

Hey peeps!
Today while I was watching my sister play Animal Jam, I noticed that she had the cutest penguin outfit ever! Here are some screenshots of it:




I don't think that the dress was very well made when they were tailoring it to penguins, but you cannot dispute the fact that it looks absolutely adorable *_*

I think the reason it's so easy to make penguin outfits is because they basically have human proportions. An arctic wolf looks more awkward in a dress because dresses are made for humans, not wolves. Therefore making it easier for the designers to fit the items on penguins, as well as penguins generally looking more stylish in those items than other animals.

With this in mind, I created a few outfits in a span of about five minutes. This was extremely easy. Much easier than creating a look, say, for a fox or a crocodile. 

They also didn't look too bad:





So if any of you need a quick outfit for a fashion show, and don't know which animal to go with, a penguin might be your best bet!
