Hello everyone! I have been a member here for two years now and I'm pretty happy I joined!

I would have to say my favourite memory on chicken smoothie was when I found out there was German shepherds on the site.... If there wasn't I probably wouldn't have joined! I was searching around the archive one day and *POW* there it was! The most beautiful thing I have ever seen! I wanted one right away!

I most regret not coming here sooner! My best friend told me a out this site early 2010 late 2009! If I had come on right when she told me to I may have had every pet by now! I also regret not accepting some amazing gifts people had given me... I felt guilty but to this day I still don't have those
Pets! Oh we'll I will find them someday!

Thank you for reading!

I have been on here for a little more than a year! ♥

♥ My favorite memory is when I was gifted my first main list and dreamy, the Orange Cerberus!

Happy 5th CS!!!

I've been with CS since...summer '08. I stumbled across the site, adopted ONE pet, then didn't come back until that Christmas--after I'd noticed my LJ profile page had an amazing-looking grown pet. (That's the beauty in my sig.) I returned just in time for Nick to port the pet to my account, and I've been here ever since.

My favorite memory? There are too many kind people I've encountered to pick one.

My biggest regret? Not having come back sooner!

I've been on here since 2oo8. <3

My favorite memory was definitely when I joined one of my RP's, it's still going today. I met my wonderful love on here via that RP, amg so perfect. <3 <3

Regret is when I first joined, I used to delete pets....so many pets that were 'extras' or that I didn't like. Ugh if I could redo that....

I have been here since late 2010
My favorite memory was on Christmas and amazing user gifted me a Tess horse (the one that looks like a candy cane)

People on here are so nice

I joined in May of 2009 and I highly regret deleting all the extras I got of my pets
all those pets are now rares
so that was never fun uvu
and this sounds really mean but I regret giving away all my rare pets in 2010-2011!
I used to be a lot more common on the forums and such under the username of burpigwet but I kinda started to drift away from the site and the friends I made on here a little over a year ago uvu also highly regrettable!

However, cs is still one of the websites I always have open in one tab or another, and this website is where i met some of my very best friends whom I care about very much
All in all, I'm super-duper thankful to how great everyone on this site has been, and how it has never had a decline in quality like a bunch of other sites I used to go on!
im glad im not the only one who DELETED PETS,,,,,,

I don't think I could pick a favorite memory of CS <3
This is such a wonderful site and people here are so nice <3

I wish I would have found out about this site a lot sooner. XP

How long have you been a member of CS?
I've been a member since October 2008 (I had a different account back then, which I asked Nick to help me delete in January of the next year because I had accumulated so many posts from roleplaying my golly @u@ anyway). cervas from another petsite invited me to join, and I'm so glad I did -- this site has been one of, if not THE best, thing to happen to me with my online life C:

What are your best memories from when you were new to the site?
When I was new to the site I remember being so horribly nervous. CS was the second online forum I was active in, and the last one I'd joined was super strict and stringent. ;_; Imagine how happy I was that the admins and mods were so friendly, and while we had rules that were strictly upheld, I didn't feel like I had to watch my back all the time <3

Can I continue my best memories? lol

Another wonderful memory (which still continues) is that cervas became my ultra best buddy on the site ;u; I love you Swervs <333

I also met a lot of wonderful members, managed to work my way to have a complete dog collection only two years after joining, learned how to color digitally and actually draw canine anatomy properly XD, became a fanart archivist and had the honor of experiencing CS' 1st birthday -- and be here for its 5th!

edit: Oh oh and I forgot, it was also here that I honed my roleplaying skills and developed so many characters! <33 And the day I received my custom, I wasn't even staff or anyone special, aaah it was such a special surprise ;u; <3

What are your worst memories or regrets?
My worst memory is that this website will always remind me of a time in my life that was extremely difficult for me. But then that time of my life was pretty much muted by the fact that a lot of things on CS gave me comfort, even with just the pet designs and how much I would relate to them <3 So I guess it's a bittersweet memory really -- but it's all good now <3

My only regret is that I didn't make celebration art in time for the 5th anniversary! AGH! oAo

There will never be enough words for me to ever be able to tell you guys how much CS means to me. Call me melodramatic, but the role this site has played in my life has really been very significant. It's the reason why, even if there was a time before I felt I would be leaving permanently, I just had to come back <3 I'm really really happy I am one of those members who had the honor of being here for the site on its 1st birthday, and be here till the 5th -- this site means so so much to me.

Tess and Nick, you guys are the awesomest admins ever <3 You have made a website that has touched my life in ways I can never hope to elaborate. All I can say is more power and much love to you guys, even if hate blogs are pretty rampant or how much we complain when changes are made XD know that I will always trust you guys no matter what <33

To the mods thanks so much for all your hard work, you all keep CS clean and orderly and running smoothly, you guys have an immense job to keep despite negative feedback or reactions, I salute you <33 To former mods and artists (Selcouth, Lady, Kitsune-chan, etc) I had the honor of seeing you guys around since you were in your positions, I miss you guys and really owe a lot to you since I was a newbie <33 To the artists you guys are amazing, so happy CS benefits from your amazing artwork and designs, keep being awesome <33 To my fellow fanart archivists, I'm so happy to be part of something great, and so happy to be working with you amazing guys! <33 And to all the members -- I LOVES YOU ALL <33

I wonder how many <3's I can abuse XD

Anyway sorry this was long. I just -- this is the way I celebrate 5 years on CS! <33333
