Zooville.org [1] is a zoophilia forum created on Feburary 22nd, 2019. It is currently the largest zoophilia social-media site in the world and stands as of September 2020 with 55,000 Users.


The Start of ZooVille

Zooville's creation began when Beastforum had announced it's shutdown notice to is userbase a month prior in January 2019. It was founded with ZTHorse and several other zoophiles from the ex-Beastforum membership who felt the continuation and need for a zoophile forum on the open-web. The new moderator team soon opened private chatrooms to move prominent users from the forum into the initial funding phase and into gathering as many zoophiles as possible from beastforum. This was given the project name "exodus".


After Project Exodus was complete, the initial startup funding was achieved and zooville.org was launched.

Social Structure

Zooville.org moderation team held that the prevalence of censorship and strict rules on the previous beastforum harmed the social growth of the zoo community. Zooville took the base category structure of beast-forum and modified them to allow more freedom of expression as well as laxing its moderation on speech and heated topics.

Zooville is a free-speech centric forum and allows the open discussion of politics, religion and other heated topics that are inter-sectional with the zoophile community. Open dialog is welcome to the moderation team allowing for modification of the forum direct from user feedback.

Zoophilic Content Policies

Zooville's content posting policies are more strict that the previous beastforum. There is strict guidelines and anti-abuse policies involved in content posting and creation. [2]

The forum is friendly to content creators, allowing direct monetization of zoophilic content to its creators via cryptocurrencys if they wished to do so and if they follow guidelines within their respective countries. [3]

Asset's and Funding

Zooville.org is a non-profit website. It is funded through voluntary donations and via a single ad space. [4] Donations are accepted through crypto currencies and are auditable to the community. This allows transparency of community spending and to keep the userbase aware of current operating costs.

There is no paid membership VIP areas or exclusive sections on the forum. There is a honorary title of "Zooville Philanthropist" given to donors who donate $50 or more. This does not give them any special privileges over other users.

September 2019 Data Leak

The Initial Launch of Zooville.org was using vBulletin forum software. This is considered zooville.org's 1.0 phase that lasted from Feburary 2019 until September 2019.

This forum software was later abandoned due to a security breach involving vBulletin and leaking zooville.org's 1.0 database, as well as many major corporations data. The leak was considered a 0-day attack and wasn't a specific attack on the forum. [5]

Zooville.org after September 2019 switched to Xenforo forum software. This switch over meant all previous members had to re-register using encrypted email services. The forum also increased security measures and swept IP's from users on a regular basis incase of a 0-day attack on the software.
