What is the story behind Renna?

What is the story behind Renna? This is Renna: http://www.chickensmoothie.com/viewpet.php?id=313240

I was looking at Lawlilet's profile (I forgot why) and I viewed her most recent form post, which was this and I stumbled across this old CS agreement about this... Interesting pet named Renna and I was curious about the story behind it? Also, I thought this kind of behavior/posting was not allowed on Chicken Smoothie yet I saw staff/past staff posting ''not-so-nice'' things... I am really confused. o.o

Edit: Why does this particular custom pet say the username of the owner on it when other custom pets I have seen do not?

Taylor is a friend of Tess. She made her Renna as a gift. Taylor is not a registered member on CS, and so Renna has Taylor’s name written on her. She is best known fro her rainbow coloring. Don't think you can pretend to be Taylor and claim Renna. She will not be placed into an account!

Also, remember, those posts were made way back in 2009. The way staff handle issues has changed since then c;

I hope this helps to clear things up a bit!

Okay so basically Renna was an unadopted custom from 2008 when the account system wasn't in place yet. As a result, this custom was just floating around with no real owner. So, kitty decided to claim Renna as their own, because there was no way to tell if it was theirs or not.

The reason why it says "Lucas" as the adopters name is because when you adopt pets off-account, there is an option to put the adopters name in.

I love reading through the thread because it's funny to watch the staff members call out kitty for doing this lmao

I almost feel bad for saying this, but the replies made to that particular thread are hilarious...

Yeah, I wanna confirm this with my own memories, if you'll believe me haha

CS was tiny in 2008, so things were super informal and not professional in 2008, probably because there was no need to be professional or formal in such a small community. By the end of 2009, CS had grown a TON, but CS was still pretty small, so some of the less serious issues were handled with the 2008 attitudes. Fewer and fewer issues were handled like this, though unfortunately I wasn't on CS from April 2010 to August 2011, so I don't know exactly when pretty much all issues were handled formally and professionally, but I do know that by the time I came back in August 2011, the 2008 way of handling issues had pretty much disappeared. CS is even bigger now, so there is definitely a need today to keep things formal and professional, so you shouldn't be seeing anything like what happened in that thread today on CS!

It's not just CS, either; since 2008, I've been a member of multiple small communities (smaller than CS in December 2008, I think!) where issues within the community were/are handled somewhat informally, with the only touch of formality being actual board warnings.

(This may be related to the actual thing that happens IRL: with more people comes the need for stronger structure. Tons of info out there but I forgot the exact name of this happening... but that's not usefully relevant here lol)
