Welcome
to...
Hey Gang! :)
As you may have noticed, we’ve changed things a bit up in here. You can read a bit more about the previous ArtOfZoo Social Network Closure here.
Redoing our sites had been a priority for a while. It was proving to be a bit tricky, running sites AND changing sites, at the same time. We were about 40% of the way through getting this shop site ready.
Out of left-field – 5 minutes after me squaring up to The Man – the hosts we’d been with for 10 years ‘mysteriously got bought out by some Right-Wing group who immediately changed their Terms, and suspended our site, with no warning‘. Nice.
It took me some ball-breaking, to convince them to leave our site up for a few more days, so we could at least stick up a holding page and let everyone know what was going on.
Sorry, not quick enough Dur Man. This is the 9th time you’ve tried mounting us; come time 10, we’ll be 101% ready, and YOU, gonna get nipped in the plums. Bring it.
We did need to make the change, we could’ve done without it happening at that particular moment. We have a lot going on right now. But hey, when Dur Man gives you lemons you piss lemonade in his face 🙂
Apparently, Right-Wing groups are busy trying to buy up all the hosting companies in that country. And poor OnlyFans just lost their adult billing – Aw diddums. We lost our billing 20 years ago and guess what. That’s right…
I reckon we can find and / or set up new hosting companies, quicker than Dur Man can buy them. So, good luck with that plan. 🙂
Where Do We Go From Here?
The Rule is – when they knock us down – we brush ourselves off, and come back better than previously. This, didn’t help with the speed of the relaunch – but fuck it, we’ve done it, and here we are.
For speed, Version 3.0 of ArtOf Zoo – at the time of launching – is VERY basic. But, it’s much faster, and much easier for Customers and Patrons to use. We need to stick to the previous manual method of Movie sales for now. Most of you already have the hang of that. We have several lovely new Movies up for you, ready to go – your support would be appreciated during the next month, due to the cashflow issues caused by the pricks.
We have a LOT of stuff still to add to this site. The rest of the movies. A load of Blog posts – a bunch of stuff. We will continue adding stuff – and, in a few months, we hope to launch AoZ V3.1 – a rework of the Store, with a bunch of new Payment Methods for your convenience…

NEXT STEPS...
Obviously, AoZ V3.1 then V3.2 are high on the agenda. We need to make things nice and convenient, for our Patrons. After all, They are the ones that pay ALL the bills, for all the fun stuff.
Automated purchasing, will free up a LOT of our time – time that can then be spent on more important things – such as movie-shooting, and site-building.
That’s not to say that the fun stuff isn’t important. We learned a lot about running a Social Network, from the previous version. We will take what we learned, and use all that info, to create a MUCH better, heavily improved network for Petfans, as soon as possible. This time, with a more solid financial base. These other side-projects will kick in a bunch of funds too. So, on we go…
As a temporary measure – somewhere for all you Pet People to congregate, stay in touch with Friends etc – we are organizing a Forum for you. That should keep you all busy, while we get to work on other stuff. What that other stuff is, well – you’ll have to wait and see 🙂 If you want to stay informed of our latest updates and new sites etc – be sure to subscribe to our Newsletter here. Or, just check back regularly.
The ART of Zoo
AoZ was always a weird place to stick a Social Network anyway. The ART of Zoo, was always intended to be a showcase for the Art of our beloved lifestyle – the Media, Graphics, Artworks, all that kinda stuff. We stuck it on the ArtOfZoo domain, coz frankly, that’s where all the traffic was going.
The social side, needs to go elsewhere. So, we will shortly – finally – be resurrecting the ZooSkool. It’s where our Network began, and it will be nice to see it coming home again. When it’s ready, of course…
Ya know – I have 20 years of ideas, innovations and plans I’ve wanted to roll out – in a 16 page Ideas List. Many ideas and suggestions from you Folks; many, based on experience, and seeing how Folks wanna interact online.
They say it takes 20 years to Master something. We’ll see about that eh. I am very excited, to finally get the opportunity to start rolling out some of these new ideas. Shit happens when it’s good and ready, I guess…

Apologies to all Custom Movie Patrons, Movie Moguls and Customers generally – everything is proceeding as planned. Just a slight delay is all – thanks for your patience, we always keep sight of those helping us. Our new Studio is set up for the first batch of Custom Movies. The Strict Machine Project needs a new kinda Studio – you’ll see. It should be worth the wait – time to next-level this shit, and Up that Bar again 😉
We will be rapidly updating the site with updates about Projects, Events etc, very shortly. So stay tuned…
I REMEMBER
Come on The Man – is that the best you can do, really? With your cheesy 15th Century ethics and tactics? Please. We are the Tomorrow People. The Forever People. What chance do you have?
I remember the first time you shut us down. And the next. And the next. Are you getting the message yet? Coz if you ain’t – all your friends, and family have. In 5 minutes, it’ll be All of Us, vs a small handful of you sour-faced control-freak weirdos. Are you picturing that? You, surrounded by Us. Then, we will see what bollox you have to say, at that point…
We did have to slap this site up in double-quick time. Yes some features are missing – not for long. IF you notice any problems with the site, please let us know, so we can fix them.
Enough chit-chat, we got work to do. Thanks for your continued patience and understanding. Much Love – and, Tomorrow the World. Our World. Speak soon – now, go get shopping already 🙂
