Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: I don't believe I have helped someone majorly on CS yet. Most of the time a question in forums is answered before I answer.
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I have been a member of CS for almost 7 years now. I have a pretty good feel for the site and I believe that I would be able to help any newcomers with any questions that they may have. If I don't know an answer right away, or even if I don't know the correct answer, I am willing to dig until I find it for them. I would love to be able to help someone new learn the ropes, and maybe even form a CS friendship. I want anyone who joins to feel welcome in the community. I remember being new, it was a little frightening! I don't want anyone else to feel like that.
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I check CS daily, unless something has come up in my personal life. I am usually on for at least a couple hours a night.
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: I do.
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Absolutely!

If you are not fluent in English, what is your preferred language?: English only

How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: My friend showed me it

What do you like best so far?: The pound

Any questions?:

1. Why can't adult users say their age? I understand that CS wants to keep it safe for everyone, but adults can make that decision.

2. Are there rares in monthly adopts?

3. How long before I can post images without staff approval?

4. Will sharing the same IP Address as another user gets you banned? I accepted 2 trades for art payment from someone I use the same IP Address with, will we get banned?

5. When do summer Events start? How long do they run for?

    1. Adults sharing their age may encourage younger users to share their age as well.

    2. I can't remember it ever happening, but it is possible. Rarity is determined based on how many of the pet is owned across all active accounts.

    3. CS has a system which scans for images which might be from unsafe sources. Posts containing such images need to go through manual approval before showing up, to make sure it is safe to view. If the post is edited it needs to be approved again, and newer users tend to need images approved more often. Sometimes, posts made after an image post will also need to be approved, even if they don't include an image, this is normal.

    4. No, it will not. As long as all trades are fair, and one user isn't constantly sending things to the other and never getting anything in return, it will be fine.

    5. There is no recurring date each year. In the past, this is when summer events have started:
    2011: July 18
    2012: July 14
    2013: July 23
    2014: July 25
    2015: July 25
    2016: July 15
    2017: July 22
    2018: July 21
    2019: July 27
    2020: July 25
    2021: July 17

How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: Found it on toyhouse when I was browsing random profiles
What do you like best so far?: I really love the pet designs so far, they are super cute!
Any questions?: Question has been answered, just needed to edit my post. :)

Alright, for getting someone's attention in a forum, do we @ them or quote them? I am familiar with BBCode, but I wasn't sure if either one pings someone letting them know someone responded to them. (Been on a few sites that uses BBCode, but only one really uses the quote function as contacting someone in a reply.)

Thread Update

The following adopters have been accepted and will be added onto the list:

The following underage adopters have been accepted and will be placed on the list;

The following newbies have been assigned the following adopters:

Newbies, your adopter will be messaged shortly to notify them that they have been assigned to you, and will hopefully be able to answer all your questions. If they don't contact you within around a week, or if you're having other problems such as they're being rude to you, you don't understand their explanations, or anything like that, you can PM one of our thread mods, and we will assign you to a new adopter as soon as we can.

Our mods are;
>> AquilaFuga - axelandria - Burrito Bunny

In the meantime, I would suggest that you take a little look at the Newbie Guide & Index, if you haven't already. It has some great tips, and could help you while you wait for your adopter.
