Ask the Staff!

I tried looking for the pink and blue balloon dogs in the Archives but haven't been able to find them? Maybe I'm just overlooking but what year were they made? :|

They're from August 2008 c:

To anyone!
What was your first pet ever on CS?

I can’t remember exactly which pet was my first but it was most likely one of the cats from June ‘11

Can items become extinct? Like let’s say the last member with the pocky item got banned, how would we get the pocky?

Items from banned accounts aren't released back to users as of right now. They go to the pound's account. Pets from banned accounts are also sent to the pound, but are released back through pound openings. But since an item pound is at this point not something that is possible to implement, items stay on the pound's account.

So technically, yes, an item could become 'extinct'. But realistically, its unlikely. There are only an handful of items that are few enough to be in danger of that. Most items, even the rarer and hard to get ones, there are enough of them that it would be very improbable for that to happen to them.

Maybe there could be an item pound?

• Item pound: Since the dawn of the pound in 2008, an item pound has been thought of and is "in the works."

To Swiftalu:

What is the wonderful brush (and art program) that you use to make all the amazing art seen on the signatures of the staff? I love your soft, colored lines! ~<3

I use a brush very similar to the one in the Oekaki actually! (Cause I love it sooo much) I use the plain square one here. Sometimes I'll clean up with my own custom brush if I need some sharper details (Not hard to make but I don't have a link or remember how I made it sadly!)

The program I use to draw the art is Photoshop CS5 while for the animating process that's been appearing I've been using a different program called DragonBones! :D

To Tess:
How does it feel having cs come this far!? It’s amazing what has changed since I joined, I can’t imagine what it was like when you first made the site.
