to anyone who can answer;

when do you think roleplay moderator applications will open? c': out of sheer curiosity of course.

however another question i do have for anyone is what season or holiday is your favorite and why?

To Tess, or any staff member who knows this:
How'd you come up with the name Chicken Smoothie? (Not sure if this was recently asked..?)

I think CS started around April 2008, but it was called Silent Wolf Kennelz (SWK) for the first month or two because it was a different website back then (a fan site for the Ubi Soft/P.F. Magic 'Petz' game series). I was hosting it on the chickensmoothie.com domain name even when it was called SWK because 'chickensmoothie' used to be my username, and after a while I just named the site after the domain so I could get rid of the SWK title (it embarrassed me) this is why the site's name has nothing to do with the content

For the first couple of months there was no unique pet codes assigned to pets you adopted, so it was impossible to prove ownership of any pet. We added unique adoption codes in July, and some of those pets were later added to accounts when we introduced the account system sometime later (I don't remember when that was, I guess maybe August or September)

SWK itself probably started in around 2003/2004 I think... but it was a very small website with only a few regular visitors and has nothing to do with the current site (apart from the brief period that the two websites were connected). SWK went extinct when I decided to specialize only in adoptables, probably about 6 or 7 months after CS started. CS was like a parasite on SWK, slowly growing until it took over completely

From the FAQ

@all staff,


What is your favorite pet on the site?

That is a hard question, but I would say my favorite pet on the site is the CEG

To anyone:
Who's idea was it to create the adorable cinnabun? I am in love with them so much! Wish I could actually have enough lists to trade for them

I love all the stages!

[Shrewd]

Any of the staff. This is more of a trade question but, can you do bbc code as trade messages?

I know I'm not a staff member, but yes, you can!! I've used it for messages when I gift people.

dear tess,
do you have any other accounts you play on other then your main?

[aubunny]

To any staff...
Are you allowed to make another account if you are banned permanantly?
Also what is a warning level? I have two and have recently come back from my first temp ban.

Dear staff:

Chickensmoothie plans to stick around for a long time right? I know that the 10 year mark for adoptables isn't too far away. Do you plan to do anything special?

To anyone:
So is the "Pet Design Suggestions" you mention that we can't suggest anything that may have a copyright conflict (like movies, books, brands, etc.) but then theres a whole set of warrior cats, I'm just wondering if you actually got permission from them to use the characters on this site? Im not being judgey or trying to pry or anything, i just used to be a huge fan of the series and think its cool if you actually got permission because it feels like a big deal! Also that being said, have the authors seen the pets? what do they think of them? Do they find them to be really accurate, like what they pictured when they wrote the characters?

@any general helper

How did you guys come up with the salmon squad Idea?
