Wow, I never thought I'd come back here, but here we are. As any stragglers may have seen, this site hasn't been updated for over a year. I wasn't going to touch this and just let it die, but I thought giving it a proper sendoff was the least I could do. I've grown weary of this project, and nobody else seems to have the time for it. I mean, I'm getting ready for college, and for the next chapter of my life. I've moved on to projects that I've found more meaningful than BCTAJ, and have basically quit Animal Jam period. I pop online once in a while, but I just don't have the drive and the commitment that I used to have to keep going on this project. I had hoped to administer admins so we could keep this going, but it just didn't happen. For everyone that participated, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us get this far. I will forever look back on BCTAJ fondly, and am using this fantastic experience to move on to more in my life. Thank you for everything.

Hey all! Teensy here. I got some time to spare and decided to update the updates for you all about the new updates that AJ has updated! First of all, it looks like pet monkeys are back! Of course, they make it sound like they're an all new pet, but us h̶i̶p̶s̶t̶e̶r̶s̶ veterans know better! That aside, AJ HQ has adopted a/some otter/s (I dunno, I sorta got confused/bored) and pandas are coming back. I don't think this would have any affect on TFY but Haileywoo might come up with something silly. There's also a new game that is fairly unfair to the general public, so I'm not gonna touch on that.
AJ HQ hasn't really been teasing cubs much lately, but maybe that's just a coincidence. I dunno. Hopefully we can rope some supporters in soooon~ Finally, don't forget to check out the become an admin page! Having a litttle bit of help on the site would be nice~ I guess that's all for now, so this is Teensy, signing out! I blame Majora for the terrible title (... just kidding. She had nothing to do with the title. I lied to you. I'm deeply sorry). Anywhoses, for me, school is only at its second week, and when everyone said junior year in high school was the hardest, boy did they mean it. I've already got homework in every class, and at this rate my schedule likely is going to be FILLED. So, to avoid long unannounced long hiatus, I'm going to be passing the reigns to Teensy for now. I'll pop in once in a while, but she'll be the one adding supporters to the list for now and giving you guys updates. *claps awkwardly*
Now for the second half of the title, Teensy is going to have a decent-size load on her to, and the Elite Four have discussed it, and we decided that we are going to add Admins. What is an Admin, you may not ask? Admins (at least in our site's case) will assist in regulating the site's flow by updating the supporter list, keeping the site tidy, and all around help out. They're a step below the Elite Four, but a step above Elite Supporters as they can help out on the site. If you think you might want to be an Admin, check out the tabs above! We await your entries .w. I guess that's all for now. If I don't get a break soon, I promise senior year is gonna be a lot easier on my schedule. #TakeTwoYearsOfClassesInOneYear Whelp anyways, keep calm and BCTAJ on, supporters! Me, of course! You silly billy :3
Yep, for my b-day I got a new device to get back online. While it isn't the super game-geared machine I would have preferred, it still can play AJ pretty smoothly overall. This is kind of a short update, and hopefully a larger one will come soon! Keep Calm and BCTAJ On! Yeah yeah, we know, we're not updating very often or very quickly. That aside though, we thought you guys deserved an update. To start things off, the Daily Explorer now has the option to add comments! You thinking what I'm thinking? Of course you all are! :D It's like they're wanting us to advertise more. Just begging us to. Alright, maybe not quite begging, but you get the idea -w- With this new feature, we can (hopefully) get the word about BCTAJ out quicker! Yaaaaay! Also, we added a new feature to the site called "Secret Pages". Looks like all of those useless buttons can have a use after all. Anywhoses, while exploring the site you may see buttons that look like this; Some will be utterly useless, some might send you to a video of me being frustrated at the name selection screen in AJ, some might send you to the Animal Jam login page, and some might even redirect you to one of the fabled "Secret Pages". How do you know if you're on a Secret Page? Well, you can tell by looking at the page directory at the top of this page. If the page you're on can be accessed from it, it's a normal page. If you don't see it there, you're on a Secret Page :D Secret Pages themselves can vary greatly from one to another. Some might have a random picture that may change once in a while, some might have spoilers for TFY, or some might be hinting at what's to come for BCTAJ. Either way, I thought it might be a somewhat fun treasure hunt thing for you all. That's all for now, and keep calm and BCTAJ on! And happy 4th of July!
Yep, everybody's favorite cub gathering place is back online! While I still don't have a replacement laptop, I do have an okay substitute until I make the shopping trip to get a new one. So, what's new? Well, as you can probably see, first off we have the layout in a new style. It reminds me of the old style, just more fleshed out :P Lurve it.
Anyways, so what else is new? Well, we have separated missions into two groups, Tempo missions, which are temporary and come at every 20 new supporters, and Perma missions, which are missions that can be done at any point in time to show individual support. This isn't a super new mechanic, but it's something to note. Also, we are working on cover pages for each page, but in the meantime we get to look at lovely default sunflowers on every page. The trading center as well as the cub pictures will be put on hold until I get a new laptop, however. Moving on, TFY has been updated and spoilers leaked on a certain page have been removed. The current supporters list has been updated, and finally, the BCTAJ commercial has been put on hold for the meantime. Now that we're back, AJ has changed quite a bit! Please allow us some time to acclimate to some of AJ's "interesting" changes (restricted free chat? I mean, come on...) before we get into the nitty gritty. Feel free to keep bringing in supporters, however! Anyway, keep calm and BCTAJ on! Well, I'm sorry to say that I still haven't been able to find a solution to my laptop issue. But at this point, even if I did, I wouldn't be able to have the time to play AJ. You see, I earned myself a spot in Jazz band (our hardest band to get into), am going to an honor band camp sometime in May, and on top of all that Majora has convinced me to join the track team and now any free time I had left is gone. Seeing how these are all school activities, come summer vacation, my schedule will be freed of its labor. In the meantime, the website will lay dormant. Once again, you don't have to stop pestering AJ about just cuz there won't be a website saying the same thing! You can still invite people to join our cause, it just won't be updated for a while. Thanks for your understanding! Keep calm and BCTAJ on till sometime in June!
Alas, I finally was able to get a diagnosis on my laptop, and as it turned out, not only was the screen broken, but parts of the motherboard as well. Fixing it would cost more than I bought it for, and I'm better off just buying a new computer. This time I'll probably go with a tower, and maybe I'll build it myself so I can get a lower cost ($500 doesn't sound bad for a gaming computer :D). Yet where am I to get all these moneys from? I suppose I'm already halfway there, but at the current rate I'm making money I won't be able to get it till June. I'll find a way to get the money sooner (I might even get a job, a local restaurant is hiring...), so hopefully I'll be online again soon!
Keep calm and BCTAJ on! (I wish I had more to say, but since I can't get onto AJ really there's not much else to say) Sorry I haven't updated the site still guys! So unfortunately, my computer is still broken. However, for Valentine's day I received an Android tablet! Yay?
The thing is is that I didn't really want or need a tablet. I'd rather that my computer screen was fixed. Well, a gift's a gift, so I've been trying to find a way to get on AJ with this new tablet of mine. It's been quite the hassle. Even after re-downloading adobe flash, as well as trying several browsers (including Puffin... Which stank.), I still have not got my tablet to work past the server selection screen. I may figure out my laptop before my tablet, or vice versa, and hopefully get one of them working soon. On another note, I'm super excited eagles are here! Finally, not only has AJ HQ decided to create an actually CREATIVE animal (we currently have 4 big cats, and two of them are almost identical), but they added a cool feature to give us a reason to use this animal! Although, was anyone else disappointed that eagles can't go on any current adventures? They could probably find a way to border them in if they were worried about them flying past everything. Oh well. Also, we have an AJ flappy bird clone! Swoopy eagle :P I guess the idea is cool, but gravity seems much heavier than flappy birds, and you can't fly against the ceiling like the original game. The cacti are also larger than the pipes were. Actually, now that I think about it, there are lots of AJ games with strangely similar parallels. Hedgehog=Pacman Fruit Slinger=Angry birds Mira Says=Simon Says Gem Ball=Generic Pinball game Gem Breaker=Tetris (with a twist) Phantom Fighter=Star Fox(?) Swoopy Eagle=Flappy Bird Let's see here, what else... Ah yes, the chat system. The "wonderful" new chat system.To be honest, I really hate it. Not only can I no longer make emoticons, but I'm worried that the chat is going to restrain us from advertising. I suppose time will tell. I guess that's all I can think of for now. I also started playing AJ Jump. It's not bad, but it sorta feels "meh" to me. Nothing really makes it stand out and it can have finicky controls at time. Not bad though. 4/5 stars. Well, let's hope for the best with my electronics issue, and the earliest you can start supporting is now! -Haileywoo So as you guys may have seen, the site still has not updated for some time. I have been working on finding a solution to my computer problem, but that hasn't been going all too well. Rest assured though, I'm sure to find a solution soon.
On a lighter note, I have been updating TFY and the supporter list to the best of my ability. I am currently borrowing a reaaaaally old netbook computer (basically a mini-laptop with Windows XP) in order to check AJ once in a blue moon. However, I still am unable to do much more with it, being an old computer. Hopefully I'll have a solution soon, keep calm and BCTAJ on! |
ME O3OI, haileywoo, am one of the creators of this website, and BCTAJ is my baby. Actually, funny story, it used to be BBTAJ... Anyways, that's all I got to say about myself. Chow! :D (it's ciao :I) Archives
