Ask the Staff!

@tess (if you have time, of course!) do you have the exact calculation for the chance of getting a zebra in the monthly adopts? e.g. one out of three thousand or something?

@AnyStaff
What was your idea when you started to create Chicken Smoothie? Why Chicken Smoothie? Why like this? Did you have any different ideas?
Thank you!
(If anyone has time, of course! )

Answering some old ones since it's been awhile.

to any staff;
How many user names do you remember having over your entire time here? Or have you just kept yours since you started?

I am still using my first username ^^

To: Anyone

What pets do you have? What are their names? What are they like? (XD)

I have a shrimp tank with Fire Reds, I haven't come up with names yet. They're really tiny and cute, I could watch them for hours!

To any staff:
What was it like applying for staff? Did you actually think you were going to get staff? What was it like when you got in?

I didn't think I was ever going to be part of the staff, what were the odds? When I applied, it was for the position of oekaki mod and I was spending a lot of time in the oekaki boards back then. I felt like I should give it a try and I was so surprised and very happy when Tess PMed me.

To staff with customs-
what was the most exciting thing about designing your custom?
and where are your customs from? (ex. childhood pets, ocs, random on-the-spot creation)

My custom is Amethyst, I like gemstones and based her off a picture of amethyst. I don't have any deep or special meaning behind my custom, but drawing the crystals was pretty fun.

to any artist:

are there any pets or items that got more/less popular than you expected them to get? :>

My sister and I were just discussing how excited we are for the summer event this year. I was curious, is there a set time frame for each event or does it change depending on the year/event? c:

There isn't a set date, but its always starts mid-late july, so its fairly safe to say thats when you should expect it to happen ^^

For reference, the starting dates for the past Summer Events were as follows:
2011: July 18
2012: July 14
2013: July 23
2014: July 25
2015: July 25
2016: July 15
2017: July 22
2018: July 21

To any staff: Do the token events still happen? I remember being so ecstatic searching through the pages to find a little clicky button. Please tell me they still happen. </3

Yes, they do. We have 4 big events each year (Easter, summer event, Halloween, and the Advent), 3 of those are token events (Easter, summer event, and Halloween). The next one coming up in the Easter event, just keep a lookout for it when it gets a bit closer to Easter!

@admins - Will you ever host another contest like the 2011 cake making contest? Where there are custom pets and items for the winners, because that was an awesome contest.
