It's kind of mind blowing to think that Chicken Smoothie has been alive and running for seven years, now. It's been a wonderful past seven years, and I hope that the next seven are just as wonderful!
I joined CS back in October of 2008, though I believe that I had spent time around the website before then. I was in the height of my warrior cats phase back then, and was easily lured in by the promise of warrior cats and adorable horses. It wasn't until later that I started to adopt the dogs and other creatures, but in the beginning, it was all about the horses and warrior cats.
Chicken Smoothie holds so much nostalgia for me. I remember the pocky adopts (Though I had no idea what they were at the time). I remember the excitement that came with items and being able to place them on my pets, and the absolute glee I felt when Valentines came and brought even more amazing items to put on my creatures. I remember venturing onto the forums for the first time, and getting swept away in roleplaying and the games that it brought with it. I remember Chicken Smoothie with so much fond nostalgia. It was a wonderful introduction, for me, to the internet, and to the fantastic world of adopting pets. I spent the majority of my early teenage years on this website, and, even now, I still find myself coming back to it.
I have very little 'bad' memories of this website. My early days of roleplaying, I suppose, are looked back on with some internal cringing, but it was all a learning experience, and one that I wouldn't trade for anything. The staff have been amazing, and the artists have made each and every pet feel very special to me. Thank you all so much for keeping this website alive. <3
