For those of you who are upset by the strictness of our roleplay rules - please remember that this site has always been a family-oriented website with strict content rules and a large proportion of our members being children or young teens. I know and understand that the rules on things like romance and violence will be too strict for some members' preferences - I'm an adult too - but for those people there are just hundreds and thousands of other roleplay websites you can use which aren't targeted at young children. If you choose to roleplay here then please follow our rules. If you don't like the rules then please roleplay elsewhere.

It's a pretty common trend for people to join CS when they're young, enjoy the light-heartedness of it, and then as they grow older they feel like it's all turned to crap and is totally babyish and dumb. Well, it really doesn't change that much over time, you're just older and have different values and interests. It's normal to grow out of things. That doesn't mean the site has to or should grow along with the "first generation", as we have new children and teenagers joining us every day that we are still catering towards.

It's not possible for one site to please everyone, and we are well aware that we're not the ideal site for people who want to post mature material in the forums. We never have been that site.



I am actually pretty okay with the Role Playing Rules. They are well balanced and not too strict.
Good RP stories are NOT full of inappropriate stuff, which are usually not needed to make it neat. That's what I think. c;

That's a good point, Naira. I agree with you.
It's kind of funny because I always took for granted how clean CS was. Until I got older, I thought everyone and everywhere was appropriate. That's isn't always the case. I've seen bad stuff on CS, (pretty sure they were buried or taken care of by now though) but I've seen much, much more on other sites. The mods are very good on here.

Annnnnnd now you've mad me feel all sentimental <'3

Seriously, this is totally not the point of your post, but oh gosh, you just reminded me of just how long five years have been. I still remember how I joined, and I was young and everything was strange and a little too big for me, especially since I didn't understand English nearly as well as I do now...
And I just sort of 'grew up' with the site. Okay, I wasn't a child when I joined, but you know... not adult either.

I love how CS"grew up", too, from a small adoptable site to a community with over half a million (!) members.
So many things have changed, and we've seen so many improvements being made...
The miracles of the first trading system, the establishment of all those invisible rules of the game, and... everything.

Yesterday/today is just another one of those steps CS takes, another bit of growing up.
You all put so much effort in this site, and it really shows through everything we have on here.
It's just so cool to think about how you'd love to see a certain feature added, and then, at some point, it actually gets introduced.

Really, thank you for everything you've done for us, all of you.

I personally certainly don't think CS is too baby-ish for me x3
Adult or not, I love my cute, colourful little pixel pets x)

the colors were a bit more balanced with the wood theme, but the wood blocks look really ugly with drop-down (or drop up) menus behind them. We might add some new flowers or something to the scene to warm it up a little at some point since it was much warmer with the wood blocks

That's nice to hear, the top of the site does look rather empty. :)

thanks :D CS is certainly full of adults too, I think many of us can appreciate a fun clean site after we get past our rebellious teenage years :lol: CS has grown SO much since 2008, the first 12 months of CS was basically a completely different experience, and it's always great to see members like you who have kept coming back year after year :)

You're going to make me tear up oh my gosh. I've been here for like a year and a few weeks and I was always happy to know that this site is also child friendly and people don't get into tons of fights like what happens on other adoptable websites. This is like the only Role-play website I know that is clean and safe to go on. Unlike other websites that are just plain gross in their role plays.
What I also love about cs is that they don't keep saying over and over again SPEND MONEY ON HERE OR YOU'RE NOT COOL! And everyone is equal ^.^

Ever since I joined in 2011, I've become so attached
to this site and the people on it.
I love it. <3

      Uhm, Hai.
      Oekaki isn't working, ever since the newest update.
      At all.
      Like, I'll get onto the "Create a new drawing" page, and what I'll see is that it doesn't load the choosable canvas size, or the cavas at all, and when I scrol it glitches the "Create new drawing" logo thing. And when I scroll up he glitches and repeats little bits of unfinished drawings. Its actually really annoying.
      Is it my computer or the files or... yea.
      Thankies~

This isn't really relevant to the new roleplay stuff but can I just say that the stock reference gallery is brilliant? Absolutely brilliant! I've been looking for a good stock reference library for a while :')

These drop down menus will take some getting used to!
I hope in the next update we'll be able to add reasons as to why we foe'd someone.
