Some of this is privated of course

Now, here's a story that I probably never told. It'll be long.

I joined in around 2014, when the new player map was a boat coming to Jamaa Township with Liza welcoming you. Around this time, there was a thing called the BETA Forgotten Desert, I at the time was a new player, and actually won some items, most of which I believe weren't valuable. However, I did win the wooden floors from this. An arctic wolf player(i believe) came up and traded me a rare item monday for it. I thought it was worth more at the time.

Around this time, (I was a kid), Some player named thelostexplorer and I were good friends, this player was somehow "hacked", by a user named goodjammer2000(SOMEHOW I REMEMBER THIS NAME AFTER YEARS....) I was told multiple times by this user that I would get hacked if I didn't send rares, I was just a sad kid losing a lot of den beta worth items over this repeatedly.

One day, I was tired of my well earned stuff being taken, I was too scared to report since they said I would be "hacked" if i reported. I abandonded my main account with the final act scamming someone using the "I won't accept your trade" common scam. This person had cancelled, then I did scam something else, but I did forget the item. I transferred all items I thought were valuable onto a account that would be my main for years.

Me being happy knowing I don't have to get "hacked" by this user(again this was like 2015, i was a kid). I did start trolling som people and getting around a den beta worth or two again. As a joke, I gave someone my items which if i am correct included a diamond spike collar(MIGHT BE WRONG) as a donation(for free), as I liked to troll, I told this player they can get a spiked collar out of the items I gave. Then somehow later I was permanently banned for scamming (pretty sure the "i wont accept" thing is unrelated), I didn't understand why, but I did send an appeal pretending to be a parent apalogizing and saying I won't scam again and stuff. I will probably never know what truly caused that ban since I wasn't a scammer at that time(except for that one time of course) But I still believe to this day that it was the spike donation since it has stuck around as that for years now.

I started being a trader and setting up shops, (sometime around 2016), I got up to my dream item, founders top hat and some other items I forgotten.

Me thinking the graham tail was a beta tail, I traded the founders top hat, leap years top hat(i believe), candy basket, and some other items I forgot, might have been a spike involved for it. Literally a few seconds after, I noticed my mistake and just started crying, after MONTHS of work being taken like that. I forgot this persons username so I couldn't ask for the items back. I emailed AJ a lot, and I was only awarded diamonds.

Somewhere, maybe before I reported this "goodjammer2000" user and AJHQ responded with no action.

With these diamonds, I started trading again soon after. Months after trading again, I traded up to a purple long. I suddenly had found out there was people offsiting items, so I started offsiting a ton, which includes a glitched turqoise ring I still have after years. I was happy to donate, and even donated one of my long time friends a new years party hat and a spike I believe.

AN unknown time, but Tophataloopza or whatever came out, and I had bought hundreds of these top hats, like 500. Still own to this day

I had LPHD, Beta Hood, Magenta Cloak, and an item I forgot which I believe was worth about 10-15 black spikes or whatever. Sadly, even worse The LPHD, Hood and the item I forgot was all wiped out due to them being caught in LegitNick's dupe glitch. I didn;t know and was sad even more. I contacted AJ again(obviously), and after time after time I only got diamonds back. I did still have the cloak (it was like 60 at the time) and some epic items.

I was sad, and created a fake account to try and scam people again back up, but I only got to scam a beta, and I wish I never did however, If I know that persons name I'd for sure give it back and maybe even more.

I traded a black long for a RIM HD and invested onto that

Around this time, I had quit animal jam, or very inactive, when someone had donated an orange wristband. I wasn't still active,

I still had my magenta cloak, when suddenly animal jam decides to give them out like it was nothing, dropping the value.

It was it for me, 2019 at the time I was really upset about this, and started to scam. With more experience and help from other people who had scammed I ended up scamming a blue long and other items. [PLEASE NOTE I DONT EVEN SCAM ANYMORE, AND ID GIVE THESE ITEMS BACK IF I STILL REMEMBER THESE USERS NAMES]

Do I still scam? Despite after all I lost,No not anymore, Why? At the time, SHOPS have came out. I bought a 1 month membership, and with this in about half the month I was provided I made thousands of diamonds off the shops feature. This was much more efficient than scamming or trading.

A little before the membership stuff, I managed to trade mine for a headdress, and here I am today. I recently bought another 1 month membership to trade.

And yes, I even contacted AJHQ about my items being lost from LegitNicks' dupe glitch, and they said they couldn't get my items back stuff.

TL;DR, Don't scam, just buy membership and use the shops sytem. Don't trade, its stupid.

And another TL;DR, Animal Jam HQ SUCKS, They won't provide your items back  regardless of value despite they will gladly help famous people with this stuff.

I have no idea what happened to the users at the beginning, I can't even find their users anymore with the search feature.
