sell/giveaway this site

i support this, though it's also a scary thought because what if cs gets bought by a company that does not in fact have the player base's best interests at heart? i think it would also be disheartening to nick, tess, etc. to sell something they've worked on and built up for years on end, so maybe instead of selling or giving away the site, they could hire more coders and staff to focus on security measures instead? nobody really knows what the best solution will be, maybe it'll be selling the site or maybe it'll be something else, but i hope they can still take action asap because it seems like a lot of people are quitting or considering quitting, mostly in terms of the pets portion of the site which is arguably the biggest part of cs.

I agree we don’t know what’s happening but like many have stated that would also be on the staff!
I’ve read a bit and I’m still unsure of exactly what’s happening just that people are getting hacked and cs isn’t safe right now.
There SHOUD be an announcement and there SHOULD be more than one coder for a game this large.

this is why i have been quitting, personally. action is not being taken and i as a cs user shouldn't have to be fearing the safety of my account. i should not have to be constantly scouring the quitting threads to see if anyone else has been compromised. this game is on a downfall streak and the m​ods aren't listening to our woes.

but anyways. if anyone needs a quick debriefing on what's going on, pm me. i can catch you up to speed.

They're insinuating you're the one who doesn't know what's going on haha. Which you are, by the way. I suggest catching up.

i know whats going on lol. the reply made no sense. but ok!

!! this!

either way, we should be keeping this civil. this is not to attack any other users, this is a suggestions thread! not to be annoying, but we should calm down. this is a place to bring up valid viewpoints, not point fingers at each other.

While I agree there's an alarming lack of communication or solutions, I doubt selling the site is the answer. As some people have already mentioned, there's no guarantee new owners would be any better - if anything, a new party purchasing this site during a turbulent time would likely come in with profit as their only goal, which might lead to far worse results long term than we're seeing now. Profit based website management ruins the user experience, as we've seen with much bigger ownership trade offs like the infamous tumblr crash, the current mess going on with Twitter, and many others.

Also, this might be the adult in me, but I feel like 'sell the site!!' as a rallying cry isn't particularly helpful so much as a way of venting frustration. It's not going to change anything, especially not if people are still buying store pets and item sets. The thing that makes site owners respond the fastest is money. If you want to see action, I'd be more interested in how fast an announcement went up if their player base, oh, I don't know, boycotted purchasing C$ entirely until the issue was solved.

I agree with this. Refrain from buying cs and oh my, ad blockers are starting to look really appealing.

HUGE Agree, before this gets taken down we should all agree to use ad-blockers and ofc refrain from using the shiny new paypal button.

you implying that nick and tess have the player base' interests at heart at all is just silly seeing all these "add 2fa" threads being locked.

while that was not my initial insinuation, i do agree that they might not have the player bases' best interests at heart as much as they may have years ago (though i haven't been around as long as others, so i might not be one to talk). i just meant that the idea of cs being sold to a big corporate company has the possibility of screwing things up even more, you know? again i agree with you and it's frustrating that they're not listening to us and locking threads with really solid ideas to solve these problems and protect our accounts.
