My biggest regret...... not having adopted 21201 pets from the cards litter so I wouldn't be suffering trying to find a joker for 12 years! ;u;



Oh my gosh, isn't that the truth xD

I am so scared of what will kill me in the end

For I am not prepared
I hope I will get the chance
To be someone
To be Human
Look what we've done. Look what we've done.
I would give my life to be
Human

Peace in
Difficulties
With wounded
Lips and salted Cheeks. And finally we step to leave to the departure lounge of disbelief

Pfft, that was just the Internet in 2008. Everything was pretty slow. :cry: Also I think you could spam the "Adopt" button again and again or just open each one in a new tab. It took dedication for sure.

Yesss I so remember spamming the adopt button a hundred times and letting it load, to see how many it would have adopted from my spamming. Xโ€™)

Omg I have those and I still have the backpack buttons, they are on my backpack that I keep stuff for work in. I dont care how childish people think me for it, they have no idea I grew up with these pixel dogs. x'D

As a side note I just went looking for the trade rant thread and come to find out they aren't allowed anymore, what the heckles. That was such a popular thing. xD

Wow, bringing back a lot of memories, I never got those stickers as a kid but thought they were so cool!

Canโ€™t believe I hadnโ€™t noticed the disappearance of the trade rant thread, I loved seeing the drama when I was bored :lol:

Omg I remember those stickers! I so wished I could get them,

and the trade rant thread LOL YES, didnt even realize that it was gone. I joined mid 2010 (so I consider myself right on the edge of the true "old" group)


Anyone remember how you could look up all the members at once under the "members" tab...tried doing that yesterday, and no matter what I do I keep getting the response that im looking up to many people at once!

Want to feel even older? Compare your member number to how many accounts there are. Mine is 322, I'm a freaking dinosaur considering there are over 500k accounts on here xD

oh god

and you know what else repeatedly blows my mind

some of our accounts are older than the Pound

I remember seeing the Pound come into existence, first as what was basically an adoption center by Tess and Nick at certain times of day, and then only later as something built into the website--and we got a few iterations of it haha
Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.

Looking back at my first ever (automated) Pound adopts is wack, man. There's pets in there that people would be hyped to get nowadays, but back then if you got a card litter dog or one of the Advents you just sorta went "meh, I wanted that July dog"

My first pet was adopted on August 26, so I could've had a user ID in the 500 range if I had actually, y'know, made an account right away.
I didn't really feel a need to make one at first because pets weren't on it, anyway, so I didn't til I shook off my shyness about talking in English.
Still in the triple digits, though!



I still have all but one of my dog stickers. I'm always so worried about putting stickers on the 'wrong' things that I never ended up using the dogs because I didn't want to waste them.
So now I still have those, but I'm all out of the smoothie item ones since I spent the last one on my switch, lol.

now will some stranger on the train please recognize it and talk to me about pixel pets? it worked with the flight rising shirt


I always did wish there were more CS item stickers on the sheets, because they're neat and small and cute and we have so many pretty plushies/creatures. Animal Egg stickers, anyone?
