Everything you said in you're letter is so amazingly true Spock <3
The only other site I have been on with any sort of forum was <insert site name here> and people rarely posted on the forums, when they did it was only to ask for help or make a suggestion for the site. I became bored on this site very easily, and would only go on for short times and my visits were few and far between. Oddly enough I found CS because a member on that other site had a CS pet on their page, when I came here I immediately felt a huge difference in the atmosphere here. The forums were much more lively and everyone seemed much more personal. I remember on that other site if a mod posted anything at all on a topic pretty much all posts on the topic stopped (it didn't matter what the post was about), everyone was afraid of the mods just because they were so rarely seen on the forums and where they did show up it was usually to lock your post for whatever reason. When I came to CS I was shocked by the number of times I came across a mod posting on the forums, and how easily people talked to them. I was also surprised that there was a whole section of staff dedicated to helping out us newer players, that was something I had never seen before. I'll admit still get nervous a bit around the mods here, but it is not the "fear" I felt on that other site. And even on sites I have joined since, I have never felt as comfortable as I do here, even though I'm still learning things about this site.
CS is a site I can't see myself becoming bored of, there is just so much to do here, all of the staff do so much to keep us happy, its really great, and even when I'm at my busiest in real life I always come on just to see if there's any big news, usually this also results in me getting caught up in the oekaki sketching a random doodle or coloring an amazing lineart editable, provided by one of the great artists here on CS (and i'm not talking about only the official artists), or one of the various forum discussions and games. I never regret any time spent here.
Thank You, to all of you wonderful CS staff members ^^
