• NOTICE: Welcome back to Zooville! We've had to completely rebuild the server and restore data from backups after a non-security-related hardware incident. Please allow some time for the dust to settle. The site may be slow and not all features may work immediately. Intermittent downtime may occur while we work to restore the site.

    Latest backup was from July 8th, so anything after that date will have been lost but that should have been less than 24 hours of data.

    While restoring from backups we're also upgrading to the latest forum software.

So... ZooVille's back!

I'm really happy that Zooville is back! Only here can I be who I really am. I found a lot of like-minded people here, and countless tips. Thank you and keep up the good work. Of course I will try to contribute money.

I don’t think it’s right that mine and others posts have been deleted. There is substantial evidence that this user is somehow involved with an animal abuse incident, and highly like that he’s one of four individuals connected to a zoosadism ring in southern Missouri.
I’m sure I don’t need to point out that it makes Zooville staff look bad - complicit even - by deleting these posts and covering it up.

Agreed fully. I have personal connections in that region and the couple people I know are all good people and dear friends of mine. The only bad one I’ve heard about thus far is the guy that was arrested and I was aware of him not being the best person as far back as a year ago and as such I never tried to become friends with him. This is the first I’m hearing of a potential zoosadism ring down there but it wouldn’t shock me if there are others out there.

I doubt we will ever know the full truth if there's a connection to that situation and ZV owners/operators whoever they are. My whole issue is that it is super suss how the owner/operator had their digital devices confiscated and searched by LE simultaneously while ZV was taken offline due to what we were told was a "hardware issue".

Now it is magically back and we are supposed to not think too deeply about all that. I never trust anything especially a zoo site, but now I'm super suss mode.

Believe me I’m highly suspicious too. Everything I’ve heard from on here and the people I know just has too many coincidences for it all to be completely unrelated. I mean shit, the court case documents for the Missouri guy specifically mention approx. 60 media storage devices were seized along with 3-4 other people being present at the time of the raid and Zooville went down less than 24hrs after this.

From what Floofy stated on ZC during the downtime, there were two serves, and two server operators. ZV on its own server with its own server admin. ZCA, ZooWG and the Wiki shared the other sever and admin, that may be the recent subject of LE. So ZV should be "clean" if that is true, which sounds reasonable, as the ZV server admin was able to set up a down notice at a time where he should not have been able to do so if he was in legal trouble.
