Zippeleons - The species has been dead for a good while, hell even I disappeared after the intial hype and had gotten a few characters because the owner Honeybeest kept changing the fucking masterlist, but I never left the server. But today they finally made the species completely open and, in their announcement, they decide to complain how no one was buying their adopts and threw the staff under the bus because they have not allegedly been doing their job, although there was nothing to fucking do in the species and it's been dead. Well some have stated that it's a little harsh that they threw the staff under the bus and since the server is dead I hadn't checked it in a while after those initial comments, just to come back a few hours later to see that Honey had deleted the general chat where the comments were made and made a new one. The server had been quiet for so long and not taking any advice or suggestions. No one wants to deal with their attitude, making a whole other species and some gaming and chat server that barely anyone has joined because of their tendencies. Here's the announcement (just incase they try to edit it): postimg.cc/ gallery/ 5NQnhFz

are zippleons any good? the owner tried to trade me "a myo with as many mutations as i want" for an oc but ive been hesitant cause like 1 if theyre handin em out like that just to get anything they want that seems kinda shitty and 2 i havent even heard of this species

so like, any o yall know if like the species is any good? community, moderation, ownership? is it worth my time?

lmfao absolutely not because owners can pull myo's out of their asses for free to get something else in return

this is also a drama blog so any mention of a species on here is probably bad but consensus for it hasn't been hopeful

For anyone still on the topic of zippleons, the species server is mostly dead as of now. The staff have been treated rudely and have slowly stopped doing much since the owner is genuinely rude to everyone staff or not. It's still a mess though, the staff were basically randomly told to redo the masterlists 3 times and it's caused many to leave. I definitely don't recommend them. Same with really any species luckiibee/und3admvtt makes. She's just so rude? Whoever sees this and has been angry with her before just know anything the staff had to do was mostly un planned and thrown on them by her.. just know they never wanted to upset anyone or make anything as confusing or annoying as it is. I honestly am suprised some staff that have been there a while are still there. If I was staff I would've given up on here ages ago

I haven't been in Zippleons for very long, but the owner/admin, SinisterGutz, is literally the rudest fucking species and server owner that I've ever come across, and I've been in at least 15 CS servers alone, 5 of which had shitty mods and or admins. I just finished reading through everything on Tumblr about them and I didn't expect Sinister to be so awful from the very beginning. It gets worse though! Since I've been in the server, I've witnessed them create two MYO events, both ending around the same time (no idea why they had two MYO events going at the same time, that literally doesn't make any sense), but they ended the main one (from Toyhouse) early without notice and without compensation. Every time someone posts something relating to it, Sinister basically tells them "Uh yeah, this ended already." without any explanation, even though it was supposed to end in May. Which, when multiple members brought up the fact that the Toyhouse MYO event page said that it was closed, even the fucking staff had no idea what that meant or why it was closed. On top of that, Sinister was pissed about the constant PeekiePups ads in the server and kept bashing the members posting the ads as well as the species as a whole in the spam channel, and said something along the lines of "Nobody checks these channels anyways lol, everybody has them muted". Sinister has also remade the entire Discord and every single channel but two, as of now, so I don't have screenshots of everything. My guess is that they did it to cover their tracks for all of the awful shit that they've said and done.

Oh, and on top of everything, they decided that during both MYO events, Sinister would completely revamp the entire species without warning or explanation as to what they're changing/revamping and keep telling everyone, "You can still make your MYO designs and post them for approval, and I'll just tell you what's allowed and what needs to be changed" instead of having a general basis for what's changing. TL;DR: Just like every other post here on Tumblr says, don't join Zippleons. If you like the species, just make a furry anthro dragon/monster hybrid or something, since that's basically what they are, other than a knockoff cham.

(Zippleons) Don't join this species. I regret joining this species so much and I'm someone on their massive team of mods/GAs/staff. The owner uses it as a cash grab with no love behind it and 99% of their adopts are not worth the price. The owner is also EXTREMELY rude to their community (staff included). This species has been a mess from the very beginning and remains so with an insanely bloated discord full of so many useless channels and a TON of bots. I would go back to Terraliens faster than joining this train wreck again. Please please avoid Zippleons at all costs.

I just remembered about zippleons, if anyone here's is in the species, does it worth to join it?

🍋‍🟩not in the species but they seem to be actively making adopts. Community seems to have moved to discord.

Has anyone heard if Zippleons is still a mess???

I have a few Zippleons. I like the species and how they look, as well as the other members, but I agree with the sentiment that the owner could have more tact with the members. It could be that their typing style is just more direct and when they speak it doesn't come across as that at all, but it can be very off-putting.

I think this might be controversial? But I also feel the process of submitting your MYO twice (once for approval, once for the dA masterlist) on the same discord, in different channels, is VERY redundant. If you're already approving there, and it's the same exact template, and it's threaded with Needle, why is there a need to copy and paste? I don't get it. It's so bureaucratic for no reason, and it makes the mod's work so much harder.
