Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: I pm the person rather than post on their threads
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I’ve been using the site for over 6 years now and believe I have enough knowledge to help with all aspects of the site, and want to make people feel welcome. I've also helped newbies in the past and I was successful in helping them!
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I check in throughout the day on my phone, and will keep a tab open for CS if i'm on a computer. I'm online anywhere from 30 minutes to around 2 hours depending on how busy I am and I’m most active in late afternoon/evening time.
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: Yes
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course !

(i hope it's okay i've quoted my old form rather than creating a new one)

Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: I recall over discord helping my friend learn to trade, I took screenshots of the trading system and used photoshop to implement red circles on the buttons he needed to click along with instructions.
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?:
I remember when I first joined CS and had a ton of trouble learning the site, and it took me a few months. I'd just love to help out with someone who struggles to make them enjoy the game more than they do. Whether that is explaining the basics or getting into rarities and the oekaki system. Overall I would just like to help someone and make a new friend(s)!
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I'm online everyday, generally on mobile but certain days I get on PC. I'm typically on 6+ hours a day.
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: yes

Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: I definitely have helped people, but I unfortunately don't know where to find specific instances (if that is necessary I can dedicate some time to do that later this week!). Some examples I can think of: when newer members send me trades that are unfair (either to me or to them), I will edit the trade and explain in my message why it was unfair and how they could improve it, rather than canceling (if unfair to me) or, if unfair to them, benefiting from their lack of experience. On occasion I have also had new members reach out to ask me questions about the forums and trading mechanics (a specific time I recall is someone asking me what it meant to "bump" a thread). Also, this isn't really a direct way of helping, but I run an adoption center that many new members adopt from!
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I have been active on CS for a long time now and am very familiar with all of its components! While I spend most of my time online running my adoption center and negotiating trades, I would really love to be more involved with the CS community. I have a lot of real-world experience helping people: for three years at college I held a mentorship role in which I helped first-year students adjust to life on campus, and I also spent time tutoring! Of course that's not quite the same as helping someone navigate a virtual pet adoption site, but I just wanted to point out that I'm no stranger to helping guide others through new experiences. (:
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I check CS at least once a day to respond to trades, adopt new pets or pets from the pound, and/or partake in holiday events. I will spend a few (2-4) hours on the site several days a week, but at the very least I'm on for a few minutes every day. Also, I live in Eastern Time, and am generally most active in the afternoon and evening!
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: Yep!
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course!

The following adopter forms have been declined for the following reasons:

• Form was inadequate, either did not provide enough information for us to make a decision or it simply did not give us confidence that you could adequately help a newbie. If you are not sure how you can fix this, you may PM a thread-mod about it.

The following newbies have been assigned the following adopters:

forge has been assigned fink
Sleepytally has been assigned axelandria
Amara_Neko has been assigned katouchet
AuriLove has been assigned Midde

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.
