Ask Doomy

¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

I made this page just for fun. If you want, you can ask me any question about the blog, glitches, a little about myself, etc. But I wont answer or publish any questions that I think are too personal. Please leave all questions in the comment section to this page and follow the commenting rules set below. :)

Here are some quick facts about me:




My AJ username is DoomyPanda, and my main animal is my panda Countess Spookypanda, who is also my first animal! :D


I joined the world of Jamaa on February 17th, 2012. Yep. I remember the exact date. This blog was started the same year on June 17th.


I love the natural world and I try to protect the environment as much as I can. You should, too. Earth Day is everyday!


Come at me with a question! :D

  1. Hey Doomy! I am brimad8. I went to your party once and I became your buddy. Then you deleted me and you won't add me back? Can you please tell me why?

    1. Aah! I'm sorry if I deleted you! I don't have memory of deleting you though, I think it was a glitch. :(
      Also, after I deleted you when you sent me buddy requests, I forgot that I added Brimad8 at the party. I thought it was someone else (I have a buddy who has a vaguely similar name.)
      I'll add you back, and I apologize.

    2. What if your parent dashboard has an inactive e-mail, and you forgot the password?

      I really wanna access my beta account again, but Idk if I can un-disable it without e-mailing aj.

      Delete
    3. An inactive email? Meaning a deleted email account? If the connected email is completely unavailable, then you won't be able to get the password or use the parent dashboard, to my understanding.

      Do you know if you ever wrote the password down anywhere to remember it? Try to find it, if you do.

      I'd say you should try to email AJ support with a different email, provide the information necessary and see what you get. Chances are that you won't get the response you're looking for, but AJHQ might try to verify some other way. I doubt it though.

      Good luck, Turtle!

    4. Hi Doomy! I love this blog and I have a question. What is your favorite den item? Thanks Doomy! Keep up the great work!

    1. Well, on another site that got shut down, my name was DoomyDemon (I have no idea why I chose DoomyDemon). When my friend first showed me Animal Jam, I made my name DoomyPanda because I thought it sounded a little more unique than DoomyDemon, which was my original choice.

  3. It is okay. Thank you! I am not mad, just to let you know. Yes, glitches happen all the time. EPICLY EPIC blog! Hehe.

    Hey Doomy (or someone else who knows this), i heard that worns and nm bat wings are coming out during Halloween and headdresses are coming out during Thanksgiving. i'm not sure if it's true though, do you know if its true? its ok if you don't, i could go on the "Ask Snowy" page on snowyclaw's blog and ask someone.

  7. Hiya Doomy! I was wondering, do you think AJHQ is slowly bringing beta back? I think it is, because in July they brought back beta clothes in Jam Mart Clothing, they are bringing beta plants back, and going back to the shaman stuff. Who knows would could come next?...

    1. I don't think they'll really bring beta back, just maybe a few items and things.

    2. I totally agree, beta is just a testing period, soon enough they'll revolve into a better and more jamtastic period.

  8. Hiyo Doomy! Cool blog! I was wondering...do you think that people with blogs are more "popular"? I wonder why...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Are you referring to people with any blog, or just Animal Jam blogs?
      If you meant AJ blogs, then the answer, is not necessarily. With blogs that are "famous" the authors may be popular with friends or other jammers, either because of rare items (which sadly happens a lot), good writing style, or being very social. Being a social butterfly is a big part of that, which I'm not.

    2. another reason is, there is so many scammers out there and people keep getting scammed. but in the beta days, there was really no reason to scam. and what Doomy said is also true.

    1. You can get an orange gecko plushie the same way you get a regular green one. You type in the code GECKO. It's easy, but there is really only a 20% chance that you will get an orange one. That is what makes them rare.
      And to answer your other question, I got my own orange gecko over the summer in a trade. Someone asked "what for your [item I forget]?"and I traded it to them for the gecko plushie.

    1. It's your choice, really, but I would say keep the colors similar. It looks more appealing to the eye with a set color scheme. I made a den that was earth day themed; with green and blue and in-theme items, and I got a ton of complements. ^_^ If you keep it matching, I think you'll get tons, too.

    1. My favorite game on AJ is Pill Bugs. I'm not sure why, but I think it's just really fun. Even still after I beat all of the levels. ^_^ I think the reason is that it has just the right amount of difficulty for an AJ game, but it's not impossible to beat. :)

    1. I think that if what you want to do is something you HAVE to do, such as a school project, you should assign a time to work on it and stick to it. If it's something less tight, like a short story to write in your free time, I think I can help. I used to have ideas that would stick around all day but once I wrote them down it seemed crude or I got embarrassed. When an idea first comes out, it doesn't ever look amazing. You need to elaborate on it so it can reach full potential! So you shouldn't be so perfectionist about it.

    Replies
    1. Thanks! Have you set up a parent dashboard yet? If not I think you should, that way you'll have access to changing your chat settings. If you already have your Dashboard set up and the issue is that you forgot your Dashboard password, I think you can change it with a link that can be sent to your grandma's email.

      If you haven't already, you should talk to your grandma so she can help you because a lot of things involving getting free chat involve checking email.

      OR I think if you get a membership you can get free chat. But just so you know, only people who've had membership in the past or are members can have REAL free chat. Anyone can have restricted chat and type words as long as the filter deems them safe.

      I hope you figure things out! :)

That's how I see it. :) But I could totally see it from your view too. ;) -lostfairy

    1. I don't know a lot about items in terms of whats in demand, so I don't know for sure. However, I think trading would be best and you'd get a skirt quickly because I don't believe they're very valued right now. Hopefully you'll no longer be skirtless in Jamaa!

    Hey! Here's a few words from a fellow panda,(me)
    What's your favorite glitch?
    How often are you on Aj?
    Where did you get inspiration for this blog?
    Thx! ����☘️�� I love nature too!

    1. Greetings, fellow panda!!! :D

      1. My favorite glitch, which sadly no longer works, was the Temple of Zios skyway glitch. I loved going up on top of the big elephant statue. I'd get an eagle to relive that glitch, but sadly, I am nonmember.
      2. I love AJ but school gets in the way a lot. I'm not online as often as I'd like to be, maybe twice a week for about ten minutes. Sustained gameplay would be on the weekend for about 20 minutes maximum. I'd like to be online more often than that.
      3. I got inspiration for this blog from the big collection of blogs that were popular in 2012. Before YouTube videos became the main outlet for Animal Jam news, Animal Jam blogs took the lead. There were thousands!!! A few bloggers were highly regarded that not a lot of people remember: LoveLost, Goldfishypuppy, Trickertreee, pizzadrop, to name a few. They've all stopped now. But my main inspiration for this blog was my friend who made their own AJ blog!

      Thanks for asking these good questions! It's cool that you love nature, too. Nature is cool! ;D

  68. Hello Doomy! (That felt like a cheese ball..) Its me minigirl121! I entered in the masterpiece contest.. And I got some questions. 1. How many animals do you have in AJ? (Animal Jam if you don't know) 2. How many years have you been blogging and playing Animal Jam? 3. Would it be fine if I post something funny on the blog? Its not related to questions though. 4. How many masterpieces have you made? Yep! That's all! And I like nature, too. How the tree's flowers bloom in the spring.. The colorful leafs in the fall.. And I do like to climb tree. Also if you like art, Well.. I already like!! So... Cya in another comment. -minigirl121 :3

      3. Totally fine!!! :D
      4. I have made a grand total of 2 Masterpieces. The first one is of a panda in a forest, and the second is a weird one my brother let me make on his account. XD

      Nature is pretty dang cool. It's pretty much everywhere! If you think about it, I'm nature, you're nature... even this computer is nature, albeit very processed! The chips inside are made of semi-precious earth metals, like emerald and ruby.

    1. YAY a new commenter/blogger!!! Thank you so much and welcome to Animal Jam Stream!!! :D

      Ah... polls. Blogger used to have their own poll widget, but they removed it for no reason so making them is harder now. This is how I put polls on my blog:

      1. Go to poll-maker.com
      2. Put in your question and answers
      3. Make sure the poll looks how you want to, using the Themes and Settings tabs
      4. When you're done, click Create Poll
      5. Next, click Embed
      6. Copy the code
      7. Go back to Blogger
      8. Click Layout
      9. Click '+ Add a Gadget'
      10. Select the HTML/Javascript gadget
      11. Paste your poll's code into the box and click save!

      Hope that helped :)
      Your blog looks great so far!

  76. Hey! This is just a blogging in general question (sorry I keep loading 'em on to you) How did you get your blog so popular? And how did you do it?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It's very hard to get a lot of people to read a blog! I owe a lot of my blog's views to the days when there were some AJ blogs (that were very very popular, much more popular than AJ Stream is) who would give shout-outs to newer blogs. I got a huge boost from the Animal Jam Flash a few days after I made AJ Stream because LoveLost/Mel was kind enough to feature it in a post.

      Nowadays, though, I think a lot of my blog's pageviews come from people who find it in Google results from searching for something Animal Jam related that's new and exciting, or something they're confused about or want more information about.

      For example, my most popular posts are as follows:

      "Play Wild – BETA!" -- tons of people were excited about AJPW being released, and the word 'beta' gets people in the AJ community excited, so tons of people were looking up info on it and happened to find my blog that way.

      "Animal Jam Feral" --- Similar case! When Feral was first announced, it was very vague, so lots of people were researching it to find info on it.

      "What Spiked Collars are REALLY Worth" --- different case. This is a hot topic in the animal jam community and has been for a long time, so of course lots of people want info about this and different opinions.

      "Wacky Item, Zany Item, Silly Item" -- another case! One year for April fools, three mystery items were released, so after that passed everyone was trying to figure out what the three mystery items look like, so my post became a helpful reference for some people.

      So I guess a lot of people find my blog because I make some posts that try to clarify and give info about different things that people might not have all the info on, if that makes sense.

      I guess in general, posts that might have the most details will be the ones that help get viewers to your blog. But admittedly, getting viewers takes a very long time, so it's most important that blogging is something fun for you!

    2. Ok, I can't thank you enough! All of these tips are so so helpful!

  77. Anyways, I came here because I saw this really cool bird today, but I didn't know what it was. I'm awful at classification, and the only other person in my family that actually can tell a woodpecker and a sparrow apart was busy.

    I assume you know a lot about nature, so hopefully you know what species this bird is :D

    Description: It has dark, jade-greenish feathers on its head (around Hex #053321), but around its eye there are black feathers. Its body and wings are all brown (around Hex #2B1800).

    Thanks if you reply! It's also the first time I've seen a bird like this haha. I actually looked at it, and my first thought was "peacock." (What was I thinking).

      That sounds like a really cool bird! Were they bigger or smaller? I'm wondering if they might have been a green heron, or perhaps a kingfisher? I guess it also matters where you saw this bird-- were they in a tree, were they on the ground, or were they in or near water?

  78. Hey Doomy! I'm actually not sure if I have asked this question before, but whatever. :)

    How did you get your blog so popular? Did you like advertise in AJ or go to someone elses blog or something?

    Or was it just time?

    Confuzzled,

    1. Hi Popcorn! C:
      I answered this more in depth a couple comments up-- but to add on to that, I think a lot of it has to do with time and persistence, even if there aren't many views or comments for a long time. If you keep on posting every so often about things that are interesting to you, as well as interesting or helpful to other people, and let your buddies know, over time more and more people will view it. It just takes a lot of patience nowadays

      I know it's really hard nowadays for an AJ blog to get noticed, but for now I'd recommend that you let your buddies know about your blog, and advertise in AJ (if you can manage with the chat filter) especially if you're doing a contest!

      If you're the process of blogging is what's fun for you, you could just try to write for the audience you know you already have, even if it's small. If your biggest goal is to reach more people faster, I'd recommend starting a YouTube channel! That is a much faster, easier way to get more interaction. I personally don't do it because I think the AJ side of YouTube is way too full of negativity and clickbait, but if you were interested in trying it, I'm sure you could be a little ray of positivity there :)
      (Not to discourage you from blogging, of course!)

      Delete
    2. Great, thank you! This really helped, and I will see about the YouTube thing. Although it seems like it would be interesting and fun, I'm just not sure about how much "better" it is then blogging. I feel like for blogging, you can really explain things a lot better, then just saying them out loud.

      Ugh, I just have to keep telling myself patience is key, because I seem to really struggle with that. xD

      And telling my buddies is a good idea! I'm surprised I didn't think of that! Thank you!

  79. Hi Doomy!

    Wow I post too many questions on here xD

    For TODAY's question, I was wondering how you got the little captions under pictures. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think in some of your posts you have a lot smaller text!

    I've been trying to play around with it myself, but I can't seem to find a way to make the text smaller. I can only make it bigger, with the "header" and "sub-headings" options on the side of the post :l

    ~popcorn

    P.S. Happy New Years! Man, 2021 can't come fast enough XP

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Happy New Years, Popcorn! :3

      I do have posts with smaller text-- I also have a lot of older posts that only use bigger text and they will forever mildly annoy me xD

      Ok, so there are two ways to do this!

      Method 1: Add an image to a post as usual. Then, click that image. You should see a little symbol that looks like an A with an underline. Click that to add your caption directly to your image!

      Method 2 (less straight-forward, but good to know anyway): If you want to make your text smaller in a post, INSTEAD of clicking the dropdown menu under "Normal" to change the size, click the dropdown menu under the symbol that looks like a big T next to a smaller T. This is how to change the font size! It's right next to the "Normal" button you've been using.

      Thanks for asking!! I'm always happy to answer Blogger questions-- too many tutorials already on the internet are outdated ^^;

      Delete
    2. Ugh, I totally agree. Every time I try to search a tutorial on how to do these kinds of things, they'll date back to something like 2016.

      But thank you so much! This resource is so amazing, and I'm so happy that you have so much knowledge about blogger!! (Unlike me in the corner xD)

    1. Ah that's easy-- my post about Play Wild when it was first being released in beta testing! That one has a whopping 131 comments. It didn't have much info, but people were really excited about the idea of re-living beta testing by getting to participate in the beta period of AJPW. AJPW is certainly a lot more chaotic now then it was then!

  81. Hey Doomy! It’s popcorn uwu (just commenting on a different account) Anyways I had a kind of weird, deep question that you completely don’t have to answer! I was just curious:

    So you’ve stated in posts/comments before that you’re a second year in college (wow I would literally LOVE to go to college) and that you’re studying environmental engineering? I might be wrong, correct me if I am XP Anyways, the point of all that being: once you’re finished with college, do you think that you’ll continue to post/update this blog? I mean, I completely understand if you wouldn’t; once education is behind you, you’ve basically started a whole new chapter of your life.

    But anyways, I was just thinking :) Sorry if this is a very weird/unpredictable/personal question xd

    1. Hi!! Yes I am in my second year of college C:
      I'm majoring in environmental studies, so that's like a combination of the scientific and social justice aspects of learning about the environment. Also gonna study animation too... probably starting next year!

      But to answer your question, most likely yes– I will continue posting! Honestly, I can't imagine just up and leaving this blog. Even though it might be a small thing to most people, writing for AJ Stream has been an important and positive part of my life for so many years. The lighthearted joy and community here has helped me get through a lot of difficult times, including this time we're in right now. It's been a comforting thing to have as a common thread through much of my life ^^

      Along with AJ, I have a ton of different interests I want to explore more in the future, but I haven't really felt the need to sacrifice one for the other, y'know? It's never felt to me like the right time to stop posting here, and at this moment I don't really know what that point would feel like, so I'll keep going. Even if it is a silly hobby C:

      And no worries about asking any kind of question! I actually really appreciate questions like these and enjoy answering them <3

  83. How do you put stuff in the side? This is what I mean: You have all your pages, and even text on the left hand side of your blog, but there's no 'left sidebar' in the layout column, so how do you do that?

    ~Dogo
    P.S. I love it when you go to a post that hasn't existed or gotten deleted? Well, I love how yours says 'Don't get washed downstream! This page either never existed, was deleted, or grew flippers and swam away!' I got myself one too :) It says 'Sorry! This page either never existed, got deleted, or got chomped for lunch by me >:)'

    1. Hey Dogo! Follow these steps to add another sidebar to your blog:

      1. Go to your Blogger dashboard, and click 'Theme'
      2. Then, click the orange 'Customize' button
      3. Now that you're in the theme customizer, scroll down a little on the left sidebar of editing options until you see a dropdown menu called 'Layout'
      4. Click 'Layout', choose the Body Layout that has two sidebars (it's the fifth option), and then click the little 'Save' button in the bottom right corner of the page. Now you have two sidebars to add things to!

      I hope that helped! Let me know if you have any other editing troubles.

(Wait I just checked, you commented on my previous one X) And with you being probably the only blogger from the "Early Age" (what I call the OG AJ blogging stage p:) that's actually still active, I thought you'd be perfect for this interview!

    Before I do ask the questions, quick disclaimer: like I tell everyone, this is completely optional and is only for fun! If you choose not to answer any questions, that's 100% OK and understandable. Your answers are only for my personal interest, and are only ever used in the posts on my blog :)

    Although usually not many people say no, I always feel the need to ask, just in case :P

    AGH I've already talked too much; anyways, below are the questions, if you don't mind answering!

    1. When did you first join the blogging community?
    2. What inspired you to start blogging?
    3. If you could make any changes to AJC, what would they be?
    4. What are your favorite and least favorite parts about AJC?
    5. Is there anyone you used/currently look up to?
    6. Finally, what is your favorite blog post that you've posted?

    Also, sorry if you've ever answered these in posts/pages! I try to keep the questions the same so I can compare the different responses I get! I absolutely love hearing all of the inspirations, stories, and memories that all of the past memories share!

    2. YAY I GET TO BE ON YOUR BLOG X)

      1. I started my blog on June 17, 2012! I think it was the day before my last day of school that year and I was super excited. I remember being surprised that the URL animaljamstream was available because there were just so many blogs named in a similar way, like "animaljam[random noun]", and there were more seemingly being made every day, so I really wanted to grab animaljamstream as quick as I could.

      2. What inspired me to start AJ blogging was the then-huge community of Animal Jam blogs at the time that was introduced to me by my friend furryfruit73 (who also introduced me to AJ in the first place)! I really loved reading blogs like the Animal Jam Flash, and at one point, furryfruit73 showed me their own AJ blog they made and it totally inspired the idea to start my own. That blog isn't up anymore and furryfruit73 doesn't play AJ very often anymore, but I'm grateful for them!

      3. Oooooh boy, if I had infinite power I'd make quite a few changes! But I think the most important change is a simple one: more communication from WildWorks about their plans for their games, and more community feedback being taken seriously and implemented into the game. The unexplained name-switch to AJ Classic, alongside the unexplained reduction in updates has given me and many others a bad feeling because AJHQ hid their reasoning behind such a dramatic re-branding and re-structuring. More communication would reduce that uneasiness, no matter the WHY involved.

      And for that second piece, I see so many awesome ideas for AJC that its user base has come up with and shared with AJHQ on social media or the Daily Explorer. While AJHQ comes across as being really receptive and encouraging of user-generated ideas, the way AJC has been managed in recent years makes it feel like it's just for show and those ideas aren't actually going anywhere. So yeah– more feedback from the community being considered!

      4. My favorite parts of AJC? Whew, I love so much of the game. What might be one of the most important things to me is the original art style and design of the lands. So much effort and creativity went into crafting such a beautiful game. The other most important thing to me is the role of nature and animals-- even though that's been neglected by AJHQ in more recent times, it's the core of the game for me.

      My least favorite part is probably the over-emphasis on items and the fact that trading has become so hard and boring because there are just a few items that control a lot of the game. Trading becoming mostly centered around a singular item (spikes) instead of the wider pool of unique and creative items that the trading economy once was is a problem, in my opinion.

      5. I so respect everyone who ever put or continues to put effort into their AJ blogs-- I know from experience that it can be tough to keep something regularly updated with fun stuff, and the joy and dedication I've seen from others has always been inspiring. A few of the many people who have inspired me are snowyclaw (who ran Animal Jam Spirit), Difficult (who ran the amazing Animal Jam Timber), q1zx (who ran The Animal Jam Lake Blog and is now Alukian on YouTube!), Rainbow000Pegasus (who posts nearly daily on rainbow000pegasus.wordpress.com!!), and honestly, I've been so impressed and inspired by the work you've done with The Animal Jam Daily, Popcorn! :')

      6. Hmm... y'know, I have to go with that series of posts where I made up names for different rare plushies xD
      It was super fun, so I might continue it at some point!

      Here's one of those posts: https://animaljamstream.blogspot.com/2018/11/plushie-naming-part-idk.html

      Thanks so much for interviewing me!

  85. Doomy, what are your pronouns? I was wondering because I realized I didn't know them. I use she/they! :)

    1. I'm not sure, I only met them on AJ once a long time ago. I really hope they're doing well

    2. I do know that the last post on AJF was titled "blessed," but I can't find an archive of that post anywhere. And one of the other authors on the last accessible archive of AJF mentioned May wasn't doing well, but it's unclear if that means May wasn't well mentally or physically or what. I worry :(

Heyyo! I love it when you guys comment. I'm always checking for more, so even if you comment on an older post I'll definitely see it and try to respond. :)

Before you comment, of course, here are some basic things to remember:

-Don't be mean on purpose.
-Keep the comments appropriate for all ages. This is an Animal Jam blog.
-No spam, please! That means no comments just saying "buddy me im animaljam123" or "hi", just add a little more than that.
-Rants/long comments totally encouraged! You don't have to apologize for a long comment, I love reading them xD

-*NEW!* Please be safe about the personal information you share here, and on the internet in general. Just like AJ's in-game safety guidelines, don't share your real name, photos of yourself, phone number, address, email, or age. Always turn to a trusted adult if you're unsure about something.

Pretty easy rules. Nothing to stress about. As long as you follow them, you can say whatever you want!

Thanks for reading! C(o.o)D

P.S. That's a bear emoticon up there. ^
