@nickjr oh man your signature banner brings back those memories! it's so cool to see that again..
it's so strange that the site has millions of people on it now (if i recall correctly) because i was one of the first 2000 members haha

IKR I love the banner <33

You can find the most recently created account if you go to Forums and then scroll all the way down. There's "Our newest member" at the very end. You can view their user ID. As of this post, a little over 836,000 accounts on CS have been created. I don't know how many of those accounts are multi-accounts.

Oh man.
I don't remember much of old CS but let me tell you, after going through posts I made back in 2010 I want to crawl into a hole. The amount of raw evidence featuring my awkward teenage years is frightening. It's not even something I can cover up because I stopped coming on CS sometime in 2011. All I have to do is go to "Search user's posts" and starting at page 2 the life of Padawan Jaywalker from 2010 - 2011 begins. It's like stepping into an unintentionally created time capsule filled to the brim with xD and "huggles".

It's also pretty impressive to see the collection that I used to have: UR Tiger, Sunback, DogTag, Balloons, Advents - I don't even remember having these. They're all gone from my account now, so I feel like a grandma remembering the good ol' days when I was young and rich LOL.

Overall I like how CS has remained pretty much the same. I recently organized my pets again and it was like I was back in 2010. I think I'll stick around till for December but it might be goodbye again after that. Being broke in this economy is tough, especially since my rarity knowledge and collection is stuck in 2010.

I am so glad that my posts from 2008-2010 are no longer readily accessible due to the lack of a "limit search results to the first [time duration]" search option (we only have the "limit search results to the most recent [time duration]" option, so to find my 2008-2010 posts, you kinda have to do it "manually" by hunting for them in old threads, guessing at key words that'll bring up those posts, etc). My immaturity in 2008-2010 is SO DARN MORTIFYING. -crawls under desk-

    Not an oldie but I have come to share some bad news. Anyone can simply go to "Ascending" when scrolling down under "Search Users Posts" and view your earliest posts on the site. Sadly no one is safe from the cringe party.

Oh yes, I've gone back to find my first post from 2010.

Luckily, for some peculiar reason, all my rather embarrassing posts ended up on roleplays, my own oekaki, or my friends oekaki who shared in the randomness. So I don't mind all that much because it was sort of contained. I knew who I could act like a goon with, I suppose!

Speaking of embarrasing old posts, I remember my now-cringeworthy blue fox "fursona" and awkward Soirit Tracks obsession from 2012. DX

The memories I have:
  • When the archive was such a little fledgling it didn't have the hover over section and did not pass 4 years.
  • Back when it was fun to search for pets based by their design, not rarity and demand.
  • When nothing really mattered; you did everything for fun.


I don't really recall it since it happened a couple months after I joined, but when the store had it's original section images and not the ones it has now.
I stopped caring about this being perfect on mobile so enjoy!

AAAAAAH I DIDN'T SEE THAT

IGNORANCE IS BLISS

Against my better judgment, I looked at my oldest posts
