The End

Welcome to the Animal Jam Sky Blog.
Today is Thursday, July 27th, 2017.

It is a very sad day today on the Animal Jam Sky Blog.

As you know, I announced last Sunday that I am leaving the Animal Jam Sky Blog. The whole week we have been celebrating "Scooter's Last Week" with featured posts. However, it is time for the final post. This is the final post.

Please take the time to read (probably the longest) post. I do not want everyone to be sad or upset, but happy because of all the memories and history we have created. I want it to be a happy goodbye.

Why Am I Quitting?

The #1 question pressing on every Sky Jammer's mind is "Why are you leaving?" Finally, you get to find out why I have decided to leave again.

Busy
If you know me, you know that I am busy! I always say how busy I am when I see everyone in Jamaa. The reason I was so busy is because I was working hard to make the Animal Jam Sky Blog the best it could be. Being busy really took a toll on me. I have no time for my actual real life. It feels like I am actually living a double life. Some people call me by my real name, and some people know me as Scooter. Being busy all the time started to make me unhappy.

Age
I have always said that I am too old for Animal Jam. I can't play a kids game the rest of my life. I hope you understand. I know that you will one day when you decided to leave Jamaa. As I grow older, I am starting to lose interest in playing the game. One of the reasons I have stayed this long was because I love the art and graphics that AJHQ creates.

Extinction
One of the most heartbreaking reasons why I have decided to leave is Youtube. Animal Jam Blogs used to be the primary source of Animal Jam fun and news outside of Animal Jam itself. When I came back in December of 2016, things had changed. The whole Animal Jam blogging community moved to Youtube. There are only a handful of popular blogs out there, which makes me sad. Please revive the blogging community and start your own blog! The Animal Jam blogging community is losing another great blog today.

Changed
The sad reality is that Animal Jam has changed. New Jamaa Journals, promotional codes, toys, masterpieces, Play Wild, Youtube, VidCon. So many new things have changed. I can't keep up with reporting all the news that is happening. It is not the Animal Jam that I once new. It used to be about learning about animals, plants, the world, making friends, and much more heart.

Will I Be Back?

The BIG question: "Will Scooter ever come back?" All I can say for now is... maybe. You never know, and I never want to say never. I am not going to say that I might come back to the Animal Jam Sky Blog, and I am not going to say that I will never come back to the Animal Jam Sky Blog. I may throw in and make a new post every once in awhile, like I did when I left the blog the first time. Who knows, maybe I will return in the future. Keep checking back right here to find out ^-^

Keep In Touch

I hope each and every one of you continue the Animal Jam Sky Blog's spirit when you journey through Jamaa, and even start your own blogs. Lots of you have asked how to keep in touch with me. Here are some ways to communicate with me:

Jam-A-Gram
Send me a Jam-A-Gram on Animal Jam. It is quick, easy, and you know that I will get it whenever I log into Animal Jam. For the next month, I plan on getting on Animal Jam a couple of times a week. I will try my best to respond!

Instagram
This is probably the best way to get with me. You can tag, comment, or private message me on Instagram to send me a message.

Comment
Simply comment on the Animal Jam Sky Blog! I will see it. I plan on checking the blog off and on for the months to come.

Email
This form of communication would probably take the longest to respond as I won't check my email every day. It could be a week before I respond, but this is a good way to send a long message with attachments, such as images, videos, or more.

Purpose of the Animal Jam Sky Blog

The purpose of the Animal Jam Sky Blog has always been to report Animal Jam news. After all, the Animal Jam Sky Blog's slogan is "The #1 Source of Animal Jam News". The purpose has been reporting the news to all of you so you know what happened, what's going on, and what is to come.

Real Purpose of the Animal Jam Sky Blog

You might not know that there has always been another secret real purpose of the Sky Blog. The real purpose of the Animal Jam Sky Blog was to create relationships. Not only did I make many friends throughout the course of the Animal Jam Sky Blog, but also you all have become friends with each other. The Animal Jam Sky Blog became a place where you can be you, around jammers who love you. I want you to know that God loves you. He wants to become a part of you. God has a great big plan for you, and may He guide you throughout your life.

Thank you

Over the past years, I have gotten a bunch of "Thank You"s from all of you. However, I wanted to take the time to say "Thank You" to all of you. Thank you for reading my blog. Thank you for all of your help. Thank you for the memories....

Without you, there would be no Animal Jam Sky Blog. Above are just some of the many jammers a part of the Animal Jam Sky Blog community. There are many, many more. Thanks for being a Sky  Jammer. It doesn't end here. You will always be a part of the Animal Jam Sky Blog.

Final Goodbye

We have hit the bottom of the post. It is time to say goodbye. I will miss you all so much. Thank you once again for everything you have all done. My life has been forever changed because of the Animal Jam Sky Blog. My only hope is that jammers in the years to come can look back at the Animal Jam Sky Blog. Experience the posts, witness the fun, explore the pages, and remember the name of Scooter. I am Scooter, signing off for the last time.

Have Fun and Happy Jamming!

History of AJ's Birthday

Welcome to the Animal Jam Sky Blog!

Today is Saturday, June 22nd, 2017.

It is another SPECIAL POST Saturday. The topic of this Special Post is about Animal Jam's Birthday, and more specifically Animal Jam's Birthday Parties.

So sit back and relax, and read this interesting post about the History of AJ's Birthday!

History of Animal Jam's Birthday

Every year in September, AJHQ has thrown a Birthday Party. The official date of Animal Jam's birthday is September 13th, 2012. This may seem strange to some jammers because it is actually the marked as the first day after the Beta Testing Period. It is not the date that Animal Jam began with the start of the Beta Days.


AJ Birthday Party

Near September nearly all jammers attend the AJ Birthday Party as it appears on the Party List. This party is celebrated at an exotic location: A GIANT BIRTHDAY CAKE.

There are also ice cream scoop rolling hills, ice cream sundae mountains, and cookie fields. Every year a different number is featured at the very top of the cake.

*Fun Fact: The cake used to be purple, until it was changed to a tan/yellow color in 2014.*


Birthday Presents
The AJ Birthday Party contains three shops: a clothing shop, music shop, and furniture shop. The clothing shop contains Alpha Charm Necklaces:


The music shop contains one song titled "Birthday Bash":


Finally, the furniture shop contains tons of bronze statues:

New statues for new animals are added every year. These have always been some of my favorite items!

Party Features
The party also features many attractions, including when a player walks on the cake, a pile of cake surrounds your animal. There are also random clickable items that are able to hover next to your animal, such as a slice of birthday cake.

Animal Jam Birthday Cakes

Over the course of the six years, we have seen a variety of birthday cakes. These birthday cakes are available through promotional codes. The codes have been AJBDAY with the following years of brithdays. For example, AJBDAY6. These cakes have interesting effects. You have to click the exact spot for the effect to take place. For instance, if you click the purple tent on the 3rd Birthday Cake, penguins slide down the mountain.

It will certainly be interesting to visit the 7th Birthday Party, and to see what the 7th Birthday Cake will be designed like. Celebrate Animal Jam's Birthday this September! Happy Birthday Animal Jam!

TOMORROW: BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

You DO NOT want to miss this VERY important announcement tomorrow.

Have Fun and Happy Jamming!

Graham's Observatory

Hey Jammers!

Today is Friday, July 21st, 2017.

AJHQ has been working very hard on the newest update. It has a new animal, new adventure, new pet, new den, and much more...

Another Wild Weekend has entered Jamaa, and it is all about my favorite Alpha, Graham the Monkey.

The items can be seen above, and remember to buy them before they leave on Sunday!


Graham is the last alpha to receive a den, and it is called Graham's Observatory...

You an purchase one of your own for 7 Diamonds in the Diamond Shop now.

Join the newest Alpha, Tavie in this water/land adventure for ALL JAMMERS....

An Island is guarded by ancient Tiki Statues, when the phantoms attack again! Hopefully, I will upload prizes for you soon.


Well, it was down to Flamingos or Geckos, and it looks like we are getting Flamingos! The gecko in the picture was just to divert our attention! I can't wait to see these awesome birds enter Jamaa, and I have reason to believe that they might be nonmember.


On August 3rd, Otters will once again be leaving sadly. Come back soon Otters!


Mystic Armor is now available in the Diamond Shop for a 5-piece set.


The final page is a simple advertisement for a back to school lunchbox and backpacks!
