Disney still is. From what I heard, Disney only went after CPO. It was rumored that Disney was also going to target CPR but the CPR team said that hadn’t happened yet at the time and if it were to happen that they would comply. CPR came out the other side untouched.
@@CrimzonRozez Yeah CPO was called out explicitly for being a defamatory use of the brand. If Disney was really that stringent every CPPS would have gone under in 2017 and subsequent incarnations gone in hours
There was a private server called Club Penguin Island Forever which recreated the original game. However it was sadly shut down due to not getting many players probably because of the original CPI’s bad reputation during its run.
I will never forget Lily0926…37. We met in the late 2000’s. On Club Penguin. Everything was going well. We’d go around everywhere. The pizza place, dojo, disco club, the plaza, and the iceberg… But then one day she did the sad/hurt emoji and I asked, “What’s wrong?” And she repeated it. She kept only responding with the hurt emoji and waddling away from me. Then I started waddling after her spamming the hurt emoji. It was at the iceberg when I last saw her. She did the hurt emoji once more and logged off. She didn’t log back on for what felt like weeks… And I waited until eventually I saw her online. Sadly the penguin population was full for the one she was on and I couldn’t meet her… That was the last time I ever saw her log on. And that was the first time my heart was broken. I remember being upstairs in my room and wanting to cry. lol. I was like 9 or 10 years old. My username was Fox9tails. LILY IF YOU’RE OUT THERE. I NEVER FORGOT ABOUT YOU
I had a friend named IceyAlly an CCReider(57?) I forget the number after his name.. We would always hang out. I actually played with CCReider on xbox live a few times, but never got to say goodbye to Ally.. My penguin was StormyNormy, but now I have a penguin named Penguinboli on CP Legacy cause I guess StormyNormy didn't pass their filter standards.
I didn't know all of what was going on, but as soon as they added a "mature server" where people were allowed to swear, use derogatory and sexual language, etc., I knew it wouldn't be long before it came crashing down. Disney is very protective of their property, even stuff they're not currently using, and there was no chance that they would be allowed to continue with that even if Riley hadn't been a predator
God, you're gonna have a field day if you find out about Toontown Online and it's history with fan servers. More peaceful nowadays, it once turned into harassment, doxing, hacking and bomb threats.
@@PixelsAfterDarkHere's everything I can remember currently: - One private server called Toontown Infinite was responsible for hacking two other private servers, Rewritten and House. There were also rumors that Infinite installed malware on people's computers, but that may or may not have been false. - Toontown House, one of the previously mentioned servers, actually DID install malware, specifically a keylogger - There was some drama a few years ago about the Toontown Rewritten dev team hoarding never before seen content from Toontown Online's development, such as unused design concepts and footage of early gameplay. - There was a spat between the head moderator of the Toontown subreddit, OtakuSRL, and I think one or two other people, which resulted in him doxing one of them and getting them fired from their job, then going on a power trip in the subreddit by deleting everything and preventing people from posting, which got so out of control that the admins had to get involved.
@@fs0cieety I won’t sit here and explain basic common sense to a troll who wants replies because they sit there all day in bed, no school, no friends, no nothing and just wants attention because their peers won’t give them any.
And those who desire power want to obtain it in the easiest ways possible, which includes going after easy targets, and you know what kind of people tend to be seen as easy targets…
@@kiratwo4u the logic is children are easily manipulated and people who want power… manipulate. So they basically bully this child physiologically to get them to do what they want!
Did the Club Penguin Online allegations also bring Rewritten to Disney's attention? Is there a single CPPS left at all, let alone one that's worth making an account for?
Everyone ran away from cppsed because of online and rewritten. So far the most trustworthy is new club penguin and imagined while legacy is a grey area
Imagined is as3 with a lout of new additions to make it their own. Legacy, while sorta sketchy is the only one based on as2 New club penguin is repeating the original club penguin as3 era's timeline to the T. I dont use it but im sure thats about it. Just a copy
Also Club Penguin Rewritten was shut down due the mods illegally monetizing the game with ads. But no one really knows that so that’s why you see many former players defending and romanticizing it without really knowing what happened behind the scenes.
@@eko9554 I don't think I ever saw such ads when I played it (or I only saw a few and didn't pay them any heed). Maybe it was because I used an adblocker the entire time.
Tw for Sexual harassment and grooming I was not a victim of Riley, but rather one of the pedophiles that was let into the server, there was several of them but one of them caused me the most trauma. I was around 12 or 11 years old at the time, and was feeling lonely, so, I went into the pizza parlor. There was a group of boys there that I started talking to them, one guy asked me to go to his igloo with him. His username was "bunno" and... he basically made me do stuff with him, or else he would self harm. And I felt obligated in it. I'm 15 years old now, and it still scars me to this day
i really want to say you knocked it out of the park with this thumbnail, because it’s basically just the thumbnail for every “when did walter white become heisenberg?” video essay except with penguins lol
Can you make a video on Club Penguin Rewritten? It was shut down due the moderators illegally profiting off the game with ads. There was also other sketchy behind the scenes.
Vaguely heard about the sketchy stuff and originally was gonna mention it at the end of the video. Couldn’t find as much definitive stuff as Riley had out there so I decided to cut it
What else sketchy? There was that one rogue admin whose threats caused the 2018 shutdown, but the staff united against him and since then he’s been out of the picture
Boy, I haven't heard the name Virtual Penguin in years... I used to be quite active there and wanted to be a moderator, I was applying to be a moderator but was turned down because I was too young. I eventually stopped being active and never heard of Virtual Penguin again. I never knew it was renamed to Club Penguin Online, and I DEFINITELY did not know the stuff that went down there. It's a bitter feeling now.
There is another cpps which similar to cpo called club penguin today, its owner was confirmed to be a predator which lead him to shutdown his cpps and gave up, his name is shuttle
I remember this. I was a member of a Club Penguin Army, the Pookie Army on Club Penguin Online. There was a whole scandal behind some Dom guy. We moved to another cpps for a while made especially for cpps armies before that shut down.
When disney bought CP, My one teacher got to retire as she got a cut of the money (family of the og founders) and the fact that the city it was founded in is currently classified as the worst CITY IN CANADA
For a bit more context, CPO is back up but rebranded as New Club Penguin. If you type in Club penguin rewritten it also pops up, so I think that it needs to be said that club penguin online is reopened and rebranded, not club penguin rewritten
There's a massive history of not only games getting big be changed and destroyed by new owners. So folks, a lesson to all: If you ever make a growing game, NEVER EVER allow a multi-billionaire company obviously run by old people to buy your game. You will get a lot of money, but everything else will be ruined and you will start off having no idea.
A guy that had a popular club penguin discord server ends up being a PDF File?! Color me surprised, this is the first time that this has happened! /s I was also there to see the sh!t unravel and was so glad he got arrested. I mean What kind of brainlet thinks being a disgusting PDF File on the clear web and not even being discreet about it is a good idea?
Club Penguin Private Servers (CPPS for short) have actually been around in some shape or form since 2008-2010. They did not magically pop up after Club Penguin shutdown. What did happen in 2017 though is that the CPPS's shifted from being more hacking/mature focused to friendly remakes of the game as everyone wanted the original experience.
i remember seeing Riley online all the time too, crazy how years later this all came crashing down on him. sadly it’s even worse stories and people than him
Fun fact: I personally knew one of the most infamous Club Penguin Rewritten mods: [Niko]Codey. It was back during my time as lead administrator of the Novanius Project, a homebrew Roblox Forum replacement I helped make in High School
There were rumors at the start that the owner of CPL who’s name was Kylie was actually Riley using a fake name. But that owner mysteriously disappeared and some new guy took over
So glad more light’s being shed on this whole situation. Lots of people always think the sudden actions being taken against CPPS’s by Disney aren’t too fair, but most people don’t realize how unsafe servers like these are. This goes for any server or anything similar. Make sure you think before signing up to any of these, as custom servers can be made and promoted by anyone, with or without good intentions. Stay safe y’all 😌
