The older, less technological-adaptable themes (or Non-Business Themes) such as Lil' Peepz, Comedy World, Anime, and Cartoon Classics, were retired as they were incompatible with HTML5. GoAnimate for Schools however, retained Adobe Flash and the non-business themes until July 26, 2016. On October 19, 2015, it was announced that GoAnimate would migrate from Adobe Flash and go towards HTML5 animation, which can allow mobile device compatibility. That same day, the site relaunched with a new user interface, plus the removal of GoBucks and GoPoints. On September 16, 2013, GoAnimate changed its logo, removing the exclamation mark. GoAnimate for Schools was a school-safe version of GoAnimate featuring dedicated privacy, security, content moderation and group management features. In late August 2011, GoAnimate for Schools was publicly launched. Background: Vyond was founded as GoAnimate in Novemby Alvin Hung, and the first version of GoAnimate went live in mid-2008.
