Only good things can come from this Wish Jane could have seen it

This is great reading. I remember those websites. Maybe you two can team up on a project sometime. It's great having you 'old' ZT pioneers here.

Yeah I would have been the same age. Zoomania was actually my friend's forum, Koala Komander. Out of sheer coincidence, she was also the same age and lived only one town over from me. She eventually left the community and left me in charge to take care of it. Later when me and Aurora Designs started Northern Skies, I folded their downloads together because I was a teenager and didn't want to run two forums hahaha. I'm with you. Absolutely wild looking back and realizing half the forums out there were run by kids. The novelty of running a website in the early to late 00s (ew) was so alluring I guess.

No way!! That's wild. I was so young then that I couldn't have told you where I had initially hosted them. I must have been 13 or 14. I stopped using that screenname in middle school. I'd say it's crazy that Zoomania was yours, knowing we're the same age, but I think probably literally half the communities I was part of online at that age were hosted and run by other teenagers. I'm sure you had similar experiences back in the day. Wild looking back now, but seemed super normal at the time.

Love the new tank walls, Vondell (and all of the other new items)! By the way: today I was digging through a bunch of my old files on my Mediafire account because I'm working on re-homing them somewhere before they're lost to time. I found out you used to go by Volksdragon and you hosted a couple of your early downloads on one of my old forums, Zoomania (Nile Monitor and Perentie ). I thought that was cool. :P Luckily @Fern reached out and saved them before I closed it down so they lived on here. It's a good thing she did because the Perentie in particular has been wiped by Mediafire (along with a few other great ZT2 downloads ?)

That would be fun. Maybe once me and Finn can hack into some crazier things in ZT1. I'll spam Vondell's inbox ;)

I've edited the topic, since the old Steller's sea cow download and Dannybob's Basilosaurus downloads were rediscovered. :D I hope that the rest of these downloads I've listed are still around somewhere.

Vondell's Aquarium Roof Set View File Vondell's Aquarium Roof Set Five new roof pieces meant to complement the Aquarium Walls and Aquarium Paths sets. They are the same height as the Wall set walls (3H), and the single tile versions come in supported and supportless versions. They can also be used throughout your zoo as observation areas.

From Jay: Jan's answer is my understanding of how the Crowd number and Bash strength work. It is up to you if you want to give examples. For ZT's animals, the Crowd number ranges from 10 to 100. There are several animals with 10. But the example I remember reading about was the okapi, which is at 10. The idea was that most of the okapi's fence should not be see through, so that it would rarely feel crowded. For ZT's animals, the Bash strength ranges from 0 to 325. There are 2 animals that have 325: Apatosaurus and Spinosaurus. Excluding zoo walls, tank walls, deteriorated fences, broken fences, and decorative fences, fence strengths range from 200 to 480. The one at 480 is the Electrified Chain-link Fence.
