What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: Meeting so many amazing people! I also got to roleplay a ton more, and I'm glad CS involved me in this spectacular community. I enjoy the April's Fool events so much, it's just a blast seeing a new board theme for the site and the jokes. Learning Tess's obsession with squids too made me tear up
Favorite pets?:
I loved the Slumber Part event, and this pupper just stood out to me. This pink chicken was also the first thing I hoarded. I also love rats SO much that I couldn't choose just one!
Favorite thing to do on CS?: Roleplay, gift, help and welcome new members! Chatting with the community is a favourite though.
What's your biggest CS regret?: Not joining sooner! I actually saw this site first in 2010 on a roleplaying site in someone's signature with their pet, but didn't bother to follow my gut to join. grr
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Read the rules, spread kindness wherever you go and don't feel intimidated by the lovely staff members and helpers. <3

Happy birthday, Chicken Smoothie!!!

When did you join CS? I joined in July of 2010. I adopted some pets and forgot about my account until I returned around September of 2011.
I actually found out about CS from the Warrior Cats Untold Tales forums (untold tales is a warrior cats fan game). People would put their CS pets in their signatures, and I wondered about this unusual website. So I adopted some pets, gave them really bad warrior cats names, and left for a year! But I'm really glad I made an account when I did. I really treasure my first few pets.
What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: Getting my first mainlist pet (a Nonjewel) will always be one of my best memories. I never imagined I could get a pet so rare! (Off-site trading is a glorious thing.)
I also must say that I adored the April Fool's takeover this year. I was really invested in this one for some reason.
Favorite pets?:
Favorite thing to do on CS?: I love reading up on the forums. I don't post much, but I still spend way too much time on the forums anyways lol. The Rare's List thread is very interesting these days and I would highly suggest catching up on there!
What's your biggest CS regret?: Right now, it's my lack of organization skills...my pet groups are a mess.
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Don't start accepting trades just because the pets on the other side look cool. Make sure you have a basic understanding of rarity before you trade! You don't want to get scammed out of your pets.

What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: I think my best moment was getting two of my drawing featured. But another favorite moment was when I started to sort all of my pets last year and I remember getting each and every one and how they are linked to events that happened as I was growing up. My pet collection represents my childhood online
Favorite pets?: The "fire" Malk wolves that are grey with orange and yellow markings
Favorite thing to do on CS?: I love collecting pets! I am slowly getting to a complete free collection- maybe I can even get it done by my 10th year anniversary ;P
What's your biggest CS regret?: I got a Moonswirl my very first December 18th and I traded it away for cheap :')
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Don't be afraid to ask for help! There are many threads out there, as well as many, MANY guides for you to look at to understand how the site works!

When did you join CS? November 17th, 2013.
What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?: One of them was just last December 18th, all my love for Chicken Smoothie was vastly renewed and the joys of this site came back to me ten-fold.
Favorite pets?: I have quite a lot of pets that I'd call my favorite, such as the marionette, the wood 2011 store dogs, clockwork bunny, ur malk, both cerberuses, joker, all malk dragons, black advent, blue rose, drink and eat me, and all the liontails (especially the green one).
Favorite thing to do on CS?: Trading, for sure.
What's your biggest CS regret?: There was once a big trade that I took too long to decide on if I would accept or decline, and they ended up declining which was a huge hit to me for a week or so. I didn't expect to be so heartbroken, lol.
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?: Have fun, and don't give up on Chickensmoothie so fast! Find something you enjoy on the site, whether that's oekaki, the forums, creating art shops, chatting, making friends, trading, adopting, collecting... it's such a limitless and fun site to play, no matter your age.

What are some of the best moments you've had on CS so far?:
Oh gosh... There have been a ton of great moments on CS...

• Meeting a bunch of awesome friends on the Lazy Writers.
• Running the March Gifting Challenge for the last two years.
• Every April Fools!
• Successfully trading for one of my best friend's dream pet and gifting it to them.
• Getting gifted my own dreamie!
• Hunting for clues during the GH litter last year.

And a bunch of other things which I'm forgetting. A lot of things have happened in the last four and a half years.
Favorite pets?:
The July PPS, the Firework PPS, this cat, and this cat.
Favorite thing to do on CS?:
Chatting with other members on the forums!
What's your biggest CS regret?:
I... can't think of anything. Sure, I did some dumb stuff as a newbie, but nothing that bad!
Have you got any advice or tips for new players?:
Make sure you actually read the rules, instead of just assuming you'll be fine as long as you don't do anything too dumb. Read up on rarities before doing a ton of trading, since people can get pretty mad over bad trades sometimes. Most of all, don't be afraid to ask for help!
