When this forum was created by whoever did it, I suspect the intentions behind it were more geared towards zoo fetishism than zoophilia.
We have lost ZCA though and the small number of zoophiles on this forum might appreciate this change.

Being zoo exclusive is not a lifestyle you choose to adopt because it is cool, it is your sexual orientation.

So want so suggest renaming Zoo Exclusive Lifestyle section to Zoo Exclusive. In order to not spread the misinformation if zoo exclusivity being a life style.
 
Will ZCA have a future? Because I increasingly suspect that it will not start.
Dogluver can't run it, because many people wouldn't be happy about that. Sloppy can't run it either, because many users wouldn't be happy about that either.
No one else wants or can't take on the responsibility of running a zoo forum.

Will there still be a chance that someone will start it or is it over?
 
We can make a ZCA section at the bottom of the page where the moderation is stricter. Ppl can't comment with a dick avatar, etc.
If there's DF, why not a ZCA section too.

Good luck with that.
Every change that happened on the forum was preceded by months up to years of repeatedly asking for it. Then we got another admin that was a bit more responsive and it only took weeks to months.
We are now back to the original admin.

Still don't know on this one. Hypothetically, I could probably have a site up and running in probably a few days, but there's still some stuff going on in the background for right now. That, and I'm not a server administrator, and was only taught the very basics in college as a prerequisite course. A part of me fears the scenario where I accidentally forget/am unaware of, some configuration I'd need to make and whoops... my database was exposed the whole time (as an example.) The role of server admin isn't something to take lightly as user safety and privacy rests on me getting things correct the first time.

Hi guys, I think it’s a good idea and also not to mix the two because that would be just silly!

It’s true that Zoo Exclusive Lifetime could sound like a fetish of zoos, so I think it’s a good idea to rename it Zoo Exclusive.

It's certain!
 
Anytime I hear "lifestyle" or "like-minded" on this forum it rubs me the wrong way. Like it's some kind of hobby. Well I guess fetishist think of it that way and there are plenty of them.

The usual. Not just plenty, the "zoo" comminity is predominantly fetishists, not actually zoos.

This is a good step in the right direction, and I'm glad it was approved, but I think it's equally important to once and for all add a "Z.E.T.A. Zoos" or "True Zoophilia" section or something like that, or at the very least edit the name of the Bestiality section to something less fetishy and offensive. I think this is important for the following reasons:

1. There are many of us who don't fit into the zoo exclusive or fetishism ends of the spectrum. Just because we're open to human relationships it doesn't mean we love our nonhuman partners less than a zoo exclusive. I used to be one myself btw, by choice, and the love hasn't changed one bit, and I'd be 100% happy being zoo exclusive again. I just would like to add a human to my pack, and I've talked with and seen posts from many zoos who are the same way.

2. It would help to educate the zoo public, through example, the delineation between what it means to be a zooPHILE vs merely into bestiality "as a fetish" like the only other section left for us to post in is currently labeled, frustratingly.

I'm not the only one that feels irked every time I have to post zooPHILIC stuff in that section, and seeing really beautiful zoophilic posts in a section who's label doesn't do it justice. It's just always been kinda frustrating and offensive. Something I'm sure plenty of zoo exclusives can relate to?

Btw, if Mods and Admins don't believe number 1 is true, I challenge you to post a poll on this to find out just how much of the population in here doesn't fit into those opposite ends of the zoo spectrum and would appreciate a devoted thread (and having older, real zoo posts moved over). I think it would mean a lot to a lot of people.
 
A few comments above I suggested a ZCA successor section. It was described why it was a problem. The same would apply to creating any other type of section.

Sounds like whoever the "admin" is that has the level of permissions to make these changes doesn't like being an "admin" if they don't want to actively engage with feedback from the community here. Sad state of affairs.

Would really be nice to have a ZCA or something for people who are not zoo exclusive but also aren't fetishists.
