How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: A friend of mine uses it frequently, and I decided to join.
What do you like best so far?: The pet designs are really cool and detailed, and I'm looking forward to trading.
Any questions?: Not really, my friend explained to me the basic details, but there are some parts of the site I haven't explored yet so I might have questions later.

How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: Someone on BuzzlyArt had their CS account linked from their link-me :o
What do you like best so far?: Hmmm, I love how chill the community seems to be and how creative everyone is. So far this place feels like a nice blast from the past.

Any questions?: I mostly have questions about the forum layout and adoptables, at the moment. Some questions include: How does Artist Search work, and who uses it? Any advice for making adoptables? I see the character storage is used for adoptables you get, and I noticed you can have more than one thread... but I also noticed that the people who have threads there seem to limit their threads to one singular type of adoptable, and it seems like there's usually some extra stuff like notes about breeding and whatnot. Are there any general rules of etiquette I should know about before using this forum?

Also... is there a quick way for me to know what animals an item can be worn on before I grab it from the lost and found?

And is there a way for me to view artwork I've "liked", or do I have to rely on bookmarking the thread?

Some of these questions honestly might be silly in hindsight... Please forgive me if they are silly. >///<

How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: Through Dappervolk
What do you like best so far?: The pet designs and the stamp collection bit
Any questions?: What are the main things people do to spend their time on this site, as I know pets take around 30 days to mature. What is there to do for those that can't trade much due to being new?

How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: Lots of fellow Flight Rising players have mentioned it, especially C$ as an accepted form of payment for commissions. I think I've also seen mention of it on Toyhouse? TL;DR Was curious on what all the fuss was about from fellow players

What do you like best so far?: The butterfly wolves' designs caught my eye so far! Very pretty, persuaded me to give CS a looksee

Any questions?: At the moment I'm just having information overload lol, but I'm sure over time things'll get a bit easier! I managed to find the Adopt area, but I don't know what other stuff to look out for/grab that doesn't involve C$ or RLC. I prefer a F2P style rather than P2W

PS: I can be pretty busy IRL, but will do my best to log in at least once a day! Worst case scenario, you can always reach me on my FR account (same username) if you happen to play Flight Rising too

Heya, I can answer some of these questions for you (and don't worry, none of them are silly)

1) I don't know much about artist search, so I can't help you much there, but there should be a few threads around the artist boards that you could ask in

2) Adoptables are something that are really hard to maintain and even start up. The first thing I recommend is find a concept that is both unique and simple. Adoptables that have to many moving parts are hard to keep up with and tend to die fast. Each adoptable should have its own main thread, and any branching ideas like breading and storage should be kept to a separate thread that is linked to the main thread, though that's only really necessary for bigger things, sometimes just a separate post on the same thread about breading is enough. Most adoptables will have their own rules listed on the first or second post of their thread, so as long as you pay attention to those you should be all good.

3) Most clothing items can be used on grown dogs and cats, but I wouldn't hedge your bets on them fitting something like a rat or a horse. There is an item archive as well as a chicken smoothie wiki you can look for. But the best advice I can give is if you like the item, grab it. You can always find a different pet to put it on.

4) I took a look around the site and from what I can see there is no way to see all the art you've liked, however, you can see artists you've followed and their works under your "oekaki" tab next to your profile. This looks to be the closest thing to what you asked about, but I may be wrong since I'm not on the artist part of the site any more.

Hope these answers helped!

Heya! A lot of people spend their time on the forums! A lot of games and competitions are held there, as well as places to just chat with people who like the same things as you. There are also people like me, who run things like adoption centers, adoptables, and competitions. People also do art or fill in already made line art on the oekaki boards. You could also give roleplaying or writing a try, as I know those forums are always busy. Some of us just dress our pets up, organize things, and leave for the day. What ever floats your boat!

Hope this helped a bit!
