Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: I've been around for a while, so there are many, many posts where I've (hopefully) intervened helpfully, but here are a few examples: ★ ★ ★

Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I think I would be a very helpful guide for anyone who could find CS a little overwhelming at first. I have a lot of experience in pretty much every section of the forum, excepting the RP section. I can point out helpful threads and give trading advice. I can give pointers on the text editor, BB coding, and Oekaki. And I like to think I'm good at explaining things, as well as friendly. I'll always be grateful to the users who nurtured my experience way back when I joined the site, and I'd love to introduce someone new to all the things I love about CS and its community <3

How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: I have periods of very frequent activity, and periods of lull. Right now, I've been visiting CS pretty much every day, and hanging in the forums for at least a coupe of hours amidst other activities. If I begin to slow down in activity, I will notify thread staff, like the rules ask c:

Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: Yes, I believe I did

Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Absolutely!

Welcome to CS! Here's an answer to your question:

If you press "My Stuff" it'll bring you to your unorganized pets group. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Right under "rename pets", there are a few links, one of them in the right column under "My Account" is "Create a new group to organize your pets", press that and it'll bring you to a new page to organize your pets! Hope this helps!

How did you find Chicken Smoothie?:
Saw a YouTube video about it. It seemed like fun, though I prefer to draw on an iPad.

What do you like best so far?:
I think I like the customization the best so far. I also like the idea of socializing that this site uses. I'd love to do art stuff but again, I draw on iPad mostly, not on PC.

Any questions?:
Is it acceptable to trade art I made off-site for on-site things? Or is this seen as a bad practice?
Is there a good way to go about trying to make friends? i.e. Just messaging users outright?
I truly do not understand the currency yet, what are the different forms of currency? Is currency super important?

Hi COOLCH13, welcome to CS! I think I can answer some of your questions while you wait to get adopted:

• It's absolutely acceptable to trade off-site art for on-site pets, items and currency. I think people prefer using the oekaki for ease, if they don't have an art program on their device, and for visibility, since oekaki threads show thumbnails. When you're trading off-site art what you'll want to do is look through and post in the Art Shop sub-forums instead.
  .
• Honestly, making friends on the site mostly happens organically in my experience. Try to expand on your list of interests a little, and seek out threads about those interests! You can also start getting to know other users by playing forum games, seeking out people who will make art trades with you, or even by joining a CS Discord server.
  .
• Finally, currency is not super important in CS. Unlike in other sites, CS doesn't have a regular and premium currency—the only way to get C$ is either by purchasing it with real money or by trading for it from other users. Indeed, a lot of people will trade C$ for art. In return, you can trade any C$ you acquire for pets, items and art from other users, or you can use it to buy pets and items from the store. I suggest checking out the FAQ section about the store and C$ if you're still confused.

Any questions?: is this how I do this? and how do I post on a forum

Hi Riven! Welcome to CS! Your form seems to be in order, so yeah, now all you have to do is wait to be assigned an adopter. And, I believe the fact that I can see your post means you were approved to post in the forums. Right on!

Thank you so much! Really happy to know that I won't be breaking any TOS. I will totally be getting an Art Shop forum going on here soon. My biggest challenge is making it look nice for now.

I am doing lots of reading and very excited to have an "adopter" eventually to give me a hand with this game :] I could use all the help I can get it seems.
