CS Sweet 16 Nostalgia

[ZephyrWind]

Anyone else having a hard time believing that CS is 16 years old now? I joined right at the beginning of 2011 and i've always been a very casual player. I just can't believe it sometimes, it's like i blinked and 14 years passed.

I know exactly when i joined because i adopted a pet the second i joined so i would remember the date, and here she is!


Pet's name: Chika
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

Don't ask me why i named her Chika, i was in my randomlolz phase

So i'm curious, when did you guys join, and do you still have/remember your first pet?

I've only joined what? Almost a year ago? But it is pretty weird to think about how old this website is but I'm glad it has had such a long life span even if I don't have nostalgia for it (yet?). My first pet was actually a pound pet, not one from the monthly adopts. A 2018 sitting cat from Halloween named "Yelm". I like to think of them as the mayor of my Halloween pets.

It hurts my soul knowing this site is 16 years old and I joined in 2009! x0
Got to see the tan layout for a bit before they updated it!
So many friends have come and gone and the site has changed so much but also not at all.

This whole set has a special place in my heart, they were the dogs out when I joined!



He is my first dog but I surprisingly adopted a BW first!

I just celebrated my 15th Cs anniversary. I found CS in 2008 but never made an account until march 09. This was the first pet i adopted:


Still have him! So cute xD

There is almost no one left from people I knew when I joined this website. It was in 2009, 15 years ago.

But I still remember my first pet:



She grew up to be an Extremely Rare list.

Edit: I've actually checked and she is not my oldest pet here, one of the oldest for sure but I have an older one:



I remember adopting those dogs one-by-one around the same hour. So it may be that this dog is my oldest pet (surely oldest I have as of now) but it's possible that I don't have my oldest pet anymore (would have to dig extremely old trades). What I know is that Good PPS girl is of special significance to me as I named her after my irl dog, and treated her as my first pet.

Joined 2010, my potentially first pet is this one:


Pet's name: Debussy

Came to CS only because of the equine linearts (miss the old ponys so mich :') ) but as soon as i joined i collected them all.

Can you imagine i thought you could only adopt one of each species per month? So i only adopted 1 each in june 2006 before i recognized you could have more of each

I think this is the oldest pet I have that I adopted from monthlies!! For some reason kid me just liked to adopt from the Pound mostly as I didn't really understand what I was doing

This one is my oldest Pound pet back from 2010!

I joined in 2009, and I just can't believe it has been so long. I don't have my original pet anymore, as I'd thought I was quitting (mental heath D:), but just couldn't stay away, so now I'm working hard to get my dream pet back. I love all the fun and amazing events, pet designs, and just the awesomeness of the community here.

I used to go by Lazer or Lazer Hyena, so if you've been here a while, you might remember me under that name.
