Questions! Returning to CS after ~5 years

Postby illyria » Sun Oct 01, 2023 1:10 am

Hello! The last time I was an active user of CS was 2019, 5 years ago (and I really only was an active player around 2017), and I have a couple questions about the general state of my account and how things have changed on CS.

I read the updates about the changes to pet rarity, but it got me curious about how an account is counted as 'inactive', and since my account was, of course, considered inactive... I am curious how this affected myself, and maybe other users as well, while I was away!

I remember keeping a Christmas theme year-round on CS and when I logged back on, I noticed my account returned to default. I haven't checked but I'm curious if site themes are still around lol.

Aside from that... based on appearances i'm aware this website for better or for worse remains a relic of the past, but if there's been any big changes, events, updates to the trading economy, etc. If there's anything urgent I should know adding it to this thread might be useful for potential returning users :thumbup:

The admins have not released the duration an account needs to be inactive for its pets to not count towards the pet rarity.
It's hard to answer exactly how your account being labeled as inactive affects other players. You can check out the OMGSR and UR Pet Count thread and the Old Store Pets Count thread to have a very, very rough idea of how many of these valuable pets exist (note that only active players who are willing to share the ID will contribute to the count). Unless you have a huge amount of these valuable pets, one account going inactive is not going to have much of an effect on the trading scene.

You can change your board style over here.

There's a Site Update Log over here where you can quickly skim through the past announcements. Make sure to check out the rule changes in the past few years.
There are also ongoing discussions for what the trading scene should be like after the recent rarity change.
