When did you join CS? Wed Jun 25, 2014 5:51 pm
What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: Finishing a writing challenge that I did for several years on here.
Favorite pets?: The selkies from St. Patrick's day. Pretty much any b-wolfs with nature fixtures instead of wings. Most of the Space Event Pets. The Nature Deer store pets.
Favorite thing to do on CS?: Drawing on Oekaki and writing.
What's your biggest CS regret?: Oh gosh there are lots. One that sticks out is getting involved with some oekaki adoptables and I just couldn't seem to stop messing up.
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Read all the rules right away, sounds boring but seriously. I didn't know you couldn't have two accounts and made another, so I had a huge moment of super panic before going and deleting one of the accounts.

When did you join CS? Last year, I think it was during CS's 8th birthday. Happy anniversary for me.
What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: Maybe when getting gifts. Thats always a happy moment. And maybe when I gave someone some pets and they sent a very long message saying thank you. Or maybe when I found out that the trash I adopted, the can, turned out to be a really rare pet. Lol.
Favorite pets?: The green store cat dragon, the unicorn from the space event, and the new sitting cat are some of my favorites. I also like the moth 2012 staff pet and the 2014 bunny birds.
Favorite thing to do on CS?: Hmm...Would it be trading? I like trading, but the Oekaki is AMAZING!! Even though my art is awful....It's rather fun to use, and even my bad drawings aren't too squiggly.
What's your biggest CS regret?: That my vacation was during CS's. I mean, I still got a lot of the space event guys, but I missed several days. Ah well, It was nice to have family time.
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Be careful. Some people send really bad trades, or ask for gifts for no reason. So don't accept every trade you get. Also, try to figure out the which pets have super demand (like the shima longtail), so you don't accidentally try to trade for one, thinking it's a normal pet. People tend to want overpay for those.

Edit, accidentally made EVERYTHING bold. Sorry if anyone tried to read that.

[LeafTrill]

When did you join CS? Back in 2009
What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: The day I got a Malk dragon through Dec. 18th.
Favorite pets?: The Malk dragons, the new Tess dragons.
Favorite thing to do on CS?: Collect, not very social.
What's your biggest CS regret?: There's a lot. I didn't sign up back in 2008, as I didn't think the site would keep my attention. I only did one adopt per litter for a while as I thought it would be more interesting that way? I went on a hiatus during the first Halloween because I went through a phase thinking it was evil, and last but not least, I said some really stupid things, and had some really stupid views in my youth. I thought I knew it all as a middle schooler, but I clearly didn't. I liked to debate way too much, and I made a huge fool of myself.
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Rarities are only one half of the equation, pay attention to dates too! Stay away from the debate boards. It's not woth the time and energy, I promise.

Favorite thing to do on CS?: Just talking to people, and of course seeing the new designs that come out every month. Oh, and all of the special events!
What's your biggest CS regret?: That I wasn't able to attend the meetup in 2012, it would have been amazing to meet other CS members in real life.

[Pyromaniacal]

When did you join CS? April 2013! It's been almost 4 years now uvu
What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: I met my current closest online friend here back in early 2014, and have met several other super cool people as well! Plus, without CS, I definitely wouldn't be in the same place art-wise as I am today - the art and adoptable community on this site has encouraged so much of the growth I've done over the past few years.
Favorite pets?: I love so many, but if I had to pick a dreamie, it would be the Kiss PPS, honestly. Has been for years.
Favorite thing to do on CS?: Helping other members and playing forum games~
What's your biggest CS regret?: I did a couple pretty stupid things back when I first joined. I was much younger back then though so I can forgive myself, but they were still honestly really dumb.
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: This community is one of the warmest and friendliest I have ever come across, so please, enjoy it and give back <3
