I agree with everyone who's saying that IRL plushies of CS pets would be amazing <3
Also, here's an idea, and I apologize if it's been said already (this is a huge thread so I haven't read all the pages): have a bonus button to adopt one random pet from the Pound's ENTIRE supply, which each member can press once every day (resetting at rollover). The pet is chosen completely at random, and every single pet in the Pound has the exact same chance of being chosen. This could at least be a thing until the Pound's pet supply gets too low, I think

And one last thing: I agree wholeheartedly and stand strongly with all those who want to call attention to the looming issue of greed in the trading scene. Greed, greed, GREED. A lot of the worst problems around the site--and unfortunately the hardest to tackle--seem to be boiling down to greed. I've really become more and more aware of the scale of the problem in more recent times, even witnessing some for myself. My experience felt like a crucial realization moment, and I've been feeling more passionate about the issue than ever since then. The more I hear about an increase in greed and overall rudeness and nastiness in the community, the stronger my motivation and will to fight gets. I've always loved surprising people around here and trying to bring them joy in general, but now I'm approaching it with more intensity than ever before, because now I'm driven by a sense of fighting against the creeping meanness
I know the general consensus is that greed and rudeness in a community is a VERY hard problem to deal with, but I definitely wouldn't be helping by being apathetic and doing literally nothing. I know there are a lot of others who feel the same way, too. I salute everyone else out there who's also trying to spread happiness and love in the community in whatever way they can; keep being awesome <3
