Chicken Smoothie

I have loved this website for YEARS and years, until I was accused of cheating. It is disgusting how my sister's account was deleted, for no reason. Soren Fey also took away MANY of my pets for again NO REASON! I am sad to have spent so much of my actual human money to this website...

I like this site, I havent had many issues with bullying or bad staff like the others. I love the community most the time, especially ones that develop around user made adoptables

Whenever you try to suggest ideas to make the site better they reject it. They're also really rude. Once I made a topic about what colour hair do you have some rude administrator locked it just because a topic like that already existed. I think the whole site's admins and administrators should be locked out from this site. They're really unfair because they make custom pets for themselves and not for the people that actually play the game. It's the rudest and most annoying thing ever.

The staff on this website absolutely love to abuse their power at any chance they get and they're extremely unfriendly to interact with... If you can, please stay as far away from you can from this website. It is managed poorly at best (new events are boring and repetitive, it's always the same thing and lasting shorter and shorter as time goes on!) As a child playing this website, I was morbidly horrified to get a pm from any colorful usernames (staff). For a "child friendly" website, it creates a room of a LOT of anxiety. Especially when each moderator has a different understanding of the rules so you get a warning from one, and then are told "it's ok to do" by another?!?!?! HELLO?!?!?!?
To be clear, moderators do not even deal with questionable and potentially upsetting artworks that are posted to their art system (attached). If I had a young child playing this website, I would NOT want them to see something so gross like this on the only forums they can interact with (when COPPA'd). Instead, the lovely mods replied that it was "ok". It is very upsetting, and disrespectful really. (one artwork that they did not remove was fetus-based, but the user was banned only AFTER they drew genitalia on the system... Like the questionable things before wasn't already a red flag?!)

I never interact with the community so I can't tell you what they're like.
However, I've always liked hoarding pets, so if you're just into that then this site is ok for it. It's the kind of site you can forget for weeks at a time considering they only release pets once a month, and it takes weeks for some of them to grow up fully.

It can get dull because the site has barely changed since 2010. No mini games, no way to interact with the pets in any meaningful way, nothing to earn in game, no goals or anything…Yea, it's just that boring.

Don't waist your time here. The site is ok if you just want to collect pets, but the community is extremely toxic. There are users that dedicate their time to finding any reason to cancel anyone they can get their grubby hands on. DO NOT interact with this community!

So, this site I would say isn't for people who are very sensitive to things and people bullying them. There is a ton of bullying on the website and I have been a victim of it. People block you for no reason and they block you because of your beliefs and opinions. I have been a victim of that site and I don't enjoy it anymore. I think people on their think that since it is a site that isn't like discord which has strict rules and tons of helpful ways they find people who are bullying and not overlooking any situations that they can bully other users. The mods on the site aren't really helpful to the bullying as I have done many reports of someone who has bullied me and they have done nothing about it. I think they overlook a ton of issues on the site so the site can continue to function and so they don't have to get involved. I wouldn't recommend this site to people who are vulnerable, have had or experiencing bullying in real life and people who are sensitive when it comes to there mental health. Even though you can adopt pets on the site, the forums are poorly managed and the bullying on the site and people blocking others for no reason at all or because of someone's opinions and view points is extremely under-managed by the mods and helpers on the site. IF your thinking of trying Chicken Smoothie, don't. The bullying is really bad on the site and the forums and posting of people are poorly managed by the helpers and site mods. I unfortunately got blinded at first by the site's general concept and as soon as the targeting, bullying and people blocking me for no reason at all happened, the joy I felt at first is gone. I am now severely angry at the mods who created this site and who aren't putting stricter guild lines down for bullying and blocking people. I'm disappointed by the site and think the site is getting to much fuss over how great it is because as soon as you get to know the community, you'll see that it is a terrible place to be.

This game is addicting. You collect, dress up, trade, and show off your adoptable pets! There are also many user-made adoptables such as Sweetens (pixel gif cats with wings). There is a large, active art community and many kind members. The moderators and admins work super hard to keep the site safe, especially because so many of the members are kids, teens, or young adults.

Let's start off with the moderators and staff of the game. They act way too entitled for their own sake and are really unfair towards certain people. And they always mention that if there's any questions we should ask them, but they don't even respond to half the questions I've ever sent. (Like Anouki.)
They treat kids really harshly, and I understand they want to keep the platform and all the kids well behaved but threatening them and scaring them isn't gonna do it, you're just gonna make them anxious and NOT wanna enter the site in the first place.
My sister also had a chicken smoothie account, and had some pets in there she wanted to give me. I gladly accepted that, and they said I was "cheating with 2 accounts" and banned my sister's account.
The service overall is terrible, and the most of the mods are so full of themselves. I now see why the game has a solid 1.79 stars rating, and I know it's gonna go down even more.
The game itself can be fun without the mods constantly on your tail over every minor thing, I've seen people do explicit things/draw nudity and break the rules yet they get away with it, but once you do something a little bit off, they bite you in the $#*! for it.
Overall, the site itself gets a 5/10
The players get a 3/10
And the mods get a solid 0.2/10. Horrible staff.

My kids and their friends used CS. As part of being allowed to use CS, I have access to my kids' private messages. The power tripping bullying attitude some of these mods have is unbelievable. They need to keep in mind they're dealing with kids. Yes, kids need to follow rules and I would hope their parents are teaching them how to interact well on these kinds of sites and monitoring them too. But it seems the staff are extremely selective when it comes to enforcing or interpreting rules, or what constitutes cheating.

The last straw for me, and a friend with kids who loved CS, was when the kids were threatened with permanent bans for absolutely ridiculous things. Now I'm not being a Karen-mom here, I'm speaking from 20 years experience dealing with online communication, sites, forums, user interaction etc etc where you have rules that are fair, and then absolutely over the top power tripping staff who blatantly use their position to threaten and bully kids.

My friend's kid got threatened with a permanent ban for something so silly that other users do all the time with no consequence. This kid spent a lot of time and real life dollars on CS, loved creating the artwork etc and had a big mental health/depression crash after receiving this threat of permanent ban-- when there are numerous examples of other users doing this exact same thing. His parents had no choice but to pull the plug on CS because the bad attitude by mods there had serious consequences on his mental health (they also had access to the private messages and were horrified by the poor attitudes displayed).

Don't let your kids be sucked in to this site. I've stopped my kids from using it as they too were getting really upset at accusations and threats of bans made by mods and again, I personally looked through the history of the situation and also saw numerous examples of other users not getting any warnings/messages.

CS is a site that unfortunately has quite a few power tripping bullies selected as mods, who should not be put in those positions as they use it to intimidate and bully kids. If your child wants to use this site I suggest you sit right next to them every time.

Also, we've heard too many creepy stories about CS not doing anything about grooming style behaviours by members against minors that took place on other sites, surely CS should look at the evidence supplied to them and ban those creeps from their site.

A ways back the password security thing was breached and any simple passwords were locked. I reached out a while later (after finishing some college courses) because the account I made when I was younger had been locked and I wanted to get back to trading pets for art. (The independent artist community is absolutely amazing). I didn't remember the fake birthday I plugged in while making the account because I thought I was so slick with my "18+" age to access whatever when I was like 13 and my email address had been perma locked through Hotmail. I reached out to the help team and gave a detailed description of a story I had written on CS, pets in hidden boxes that I had collected, store pets I had, my personal art store that I ran, and I even showed my deviant art where I made and posted art for other CS users. They accused me of going onto CS for darker purposes because why would I write a fake age when I was young... idk if anyone else use to write fake ages to access more stuff on websites but I use to do it all the time... anyway all my friends on my friends list were users who had been part of CS since I started way back when or people I knew in real life. Everyone I communicated with outside of the trading, buying, and selling of art or pets was my own age. The customer service was horrible and the accusation made me feel disgusting. I want to support artists and get art of my characters at a good deal (a pet i got for free instead of for money for example) but at this point it isn't even worth it which is a shame because like I said the art is amazing. I don't recommend getting attached to any pets or pictures you might get because obviously they aren't invested in keeping you as a consumer and if you happen to get OC art from there, for goodness sake save it somewhere else. Avoid the staff at all cost. Enjoy the pictures of the pets but don't expect to keep them if there is an error with your account and above all don't buy pets from their store. You won't be getting them back if you ever get locked out.

I've been on that site over 11 years now. I do enjoy it, but it's gone downhill. Everyone in power is rude as hell, they don't care about most anything, and definitely play favorites. Some people are actually concerned about the future of the site and the staff basically says "lolol stfu I'm locking this" and it's getting annoying. Also a lot of the users are obnoxious as heck. I know it's safe for kids, but good god if you can't act decent get the hell off the internet. The red marks on the picture show that I actually spend money on the site- I feel like if you get a lot of users who like and pay for the site to complain, and you still don't listen, that's not good in any way.

If I could give negative stars they would recieve negative a million. I have been a member since 06 and this site has done nothing but become an endless downward spiral of trash, full of abuse of power and one way roads of rude behavior coming from adults.

Family friendly? More like if you even so much as dare communicate with any rl friends or family through the site its an auto ban for cheating. So you always have to trade with strangers and even then you could get banned for the trade value being, in their eyes, an unbalanced value. Maybe I have multiple of what I offered that you considered "high value" and I was seeking to complete collections regardless of rarity (the rarity system is trash, so you have zero clue anyways) The other party was very well knowledged of the site being a long standing member like myself and with trading, they did not give a crap of the "value" either and saw it as valuable to themselves, which is why they accepted my trade. I feel like if both parties are in agreement, the site should have zero say. I also feel like it shouldn't result in a permanent ban. The other party also got banned.

How this site is still active is beyond me. I can see if there's open investigations for pedophiles, there's plenty of them and I feel as if many members of the mod team are ones too which is why they keep so distant from the community, are inexplicably rude, and allow all of the things to continue, never attempting to fix anything. If you have an issue, auto ban. Can't remember your password? Auto ban. Some people can get away with saying whatever they want no matter how foul or rude and people will get banned for pointing it out and asking them to stop. There's no stability with the moderation power and the creator doesn't even seem to give a flying crap no matter if you were a paying member for well over a decade or are a child telling you that someone is rping with them inappropriately. There's a reason why a lot of sites have age restricted RP forums, this one however could care less and openly allow it with welcoming arms it seems.

This is a kids site and even adults are asking what the problem is. The harshness towards kids once I became an adult myself is still mind blowing to me. They were as harsh then as they are now, why did you make a site available for children if you can't manage to be kind even in the least bit? You're all adults. You have been since the site was made. There are children with more respect then any of you.

Thank you for robbing me of my time and money with your messed up "community". I'm "glad" that many like myself who got handed the short stick paid for your livelihood and got shat on inreturn. We supported you because the idea was great but you executed it like crap and continued. When asked to stop and change you turned to banning. I hope your site continues to crash as the truth comes out. I hope more get the guts to write their own horror stories about this site. I have plenty more were that came from if any are curious, many found registered sex offenders, many inappropriate messages, many screenshots of mods being out of hand.

For those who made it this far, I can assure you that your time and money can very well be better spent elsewhere. This site is so unsafe I don't know how it's still around and it's clearly ran by toddlers, wait, I can't even say that as my 3 year old has more respect. How low can you go? CS low.

Years ago me and my step sister were shown this by our future sister-in-law. We all enjoyed playing it together. Didn't realize trading between actual friends back then was so horrifically unacceptable- I'm sorry but why would you always want to trade with complete strangers? Seems very odd, can't play with real life actual friends or family without them automatically assuming you're cheating without question. Which first off its free to join and the rarity system had long since been destroyed so how can anyone cheat and what would the point be? Second, you banned the two people who have given you actual money, the active one had $60 chicken dollars in her account- probably won't compensate for that. I simply tried to get my password to play again with my sister and they ban my whole family instead and remove all the pets from the account they gave me access to, so what was the point of that when you could've just told me to make a new one? I could've still at least looked at my old collection and tried to reduplicate it through a lot of hard work and dedication. But no, automatic cheaters, all of us.

It's a fun game if you like trading and collecting item games. What's not fun about this site is the fact it is EXTREMELY liberal. Everywhere you go there's at least one user who is flashing their homosexuality or something else at you in their name, profile picture, or signature. This is a KIDS game. This shouldn't be allowed when there are children playing the game. Family friendly site? Nope.

I actually really enjoy this site! I've had a few bad experiences with other players, but mainly this is a fun site with amazing art, great forums, and a variety of ways to play. There are some adult players who try to take advantage of newer players, but overall the community is generous, open, and supportive. There is a forum called the Comfort Corner that helps players by letting them post their issues and other players frequently gift and give away pets for free! It is free to join, free to play, and honestly you can get really far without ever spending a cent (though it does offer in-game purchases). I've quit a few times, but keep coming back. I love that it hasn't really changed much in all the time I've been on this site. It really is a peaceful place to destress!

Staff is rude, unprofessional, and abuses their power, read context:

For context, I'm a member of a system. One of my alters who is a young child, created a chicken smoothie account in 2014. Fast forward years later and I made a new account, because I forgot that my alter even made one. I asked CS staff on countless occassions to help me enter, which they were unhelpful about. After asking the alter, who again is a child, I managed to actually access the account. I sent a trade so that I would have all of my child alter's pets on our new, more easily accessed account, and then asked for the old account to be deactivated. Every one of the pets got reverse traded, no warning, no description, and then after three days anwswred my message about giving me my pets back saying they took my pets because you aren't allowed to transfer pets.

My alter is literally seven years old. I was transparent the whole way through, saying not to flag me as cheating, which is also why I asked them to delete the old account so it wasn't suspicious. Deleting a seven year old's pets they managed to collect for years, when they obsess and hyper fixate, is very callous. They acknowledged they had been getting my support questions but hadn't reached out to suggest what I can do. It's not even that we were using it to exploit the stupid easter eggs, or whatever. Just... sending back pets that literally belonged to us. They should not have been able to do this, and the rule doesn't even make sense. Every pet site allows trading to a new account, so long as you're not doing anything suspicious, espcecially if you delete the old account. Well, congratulations, Chicken Smoothie, on making a seven year old alter get really excited for getting their pets back and then make them have a meltdown when you snatched them all away with no warning. I'll never use this site again.

I was playing with my sister, got a gift, and was banned for it. Worst site ever. I tried ilexplaining it to them and Tess's response was that it looked more loke cheating than family trading and if I wanted to continue plating that i had to create a new account and make sure that every GIFT was evenly balanced. HOW DO YOU EVENLY BALANCE A GIFT! So evem if you tried to explain yourself, they dont care. Wjy would anyone want to cheat on a stupid site that has no actual purpose. Rhey need to loosen up and chill on the banning people.

I joined chickensmoothie in 2011 after foopets deleted their forums. And as a 13 year old who'd lost their community I found solace in a similar website with more features and a thriving community. But, this was just my first impression, you see as time went on my experience on chickensmoothie changed, drastically. And today I'd like to share this with you.

As I previously stated, I was 13 when I joined Chickensmoothie (CS), and I was almost immediately drawn to the oekaki forums. A place where users were making art, adoptable characters and, in general, having fun. What I didn't realize is that this would bring me YEARS of abuse and trauma I still live with today at 21.

The oekaki forums are the wild, wild west of CS. They're TERRIBLY regulated. At 13 I met an adult who I will refer to as "B", this is not their username nor their name. B was interested in roleplaying with a character I had one a few months prior in a contest I spent hours on. We became friends, added each other on skype and roleplayed for a long while. I don't want to speak of all the things B did, but one that specifically stands out is when I was only 15 years of age, this person made a skype group chat with myself and several other people. There were maybe 8 or 9 minors in the chat, myself included, and 3 adults, B included. B, one of the other adults and a 17 year old (a minor in her state) would post NSFW content in the group. We'd leave and be added back repeatedly, despite asking to be left alone, that we'd join back when that was over. They'd harass us with disgusting RP concepts (ex: eating and barfing up a member of the group) over and over to where we made ANOTHER group to get away from it before they finally got the message. B had admitted to MANY disgusting things. Having a crush on me when I was a minor, dated a minor online, being attracted to things I didn't need to know about

And the worst part is, because this happened on SKYPE, nothing could be done. I personally didn't report this to the CS mods, but someone else had. They were basically told that since it happened off site, that nothing could be done. Let me reiterate. On a childrens website, someone over the age of 18 DATED A MINOR and they didn't remove them because the proof was on skype. Isn't that just Lovely.

But you see it doesn't end there. The oekaki forums CONTINUE to get worse. Recently two 18+ users were found out having twitter accounts depicting underage characters in sexual situations, ya know, CP. One of these users owns a VERY popular adoptable species on the website that you can breed. But specifically? You can breed two characters that are second cousins. Yeah, incest. This person ALSO has a hidden rule for banned users from said adoptables that is ILLEGAL. My friend group has been trying for YEARS to get this taken care of with NO luck. The only progress I made is when I reported them for the illegal rule, but despite this, it still goes on behind the scenes. Not to mention the fact that the staff of this adoptables BULLIED a minor off ALL art websites and CS Staff assisted in BANNING them from the site! They were a COPPA user!

I've seen artists BLATANTLY breaking oekaki forum rules and getting a pass because they were popular or the oekaki moderator, just happened to like them. I love that the oekaki moderators that blatantly abuse their power! What a great CHILDRENS website!

This is just a DROP in the bucket of things I've seen on Chickensmoothie. It is NOT safe for children. Please do NOT let your kids on this website. And please dear GOD fix your moderation.

I've been a member of this website for almost a decade at this point, and I've never had so many regrets. The moderators are legitimately terrifying and distant from their community, and the people promoted to positions of power abuse their powers far too often and show blatant favortisim to their rulebreaking friends.

The obvious selling point of this website are the 'adoptable characters' that are released monthly. Having been on the website for a decade now, I can confirm that this aspect of the website is the most heavily advertized and the most dissappointing fufilment wise. There are no rewards or benefits for collecting the site adoptables, and there are no paid user customization options like Neopets, Furvilla, Flight Rising and other similar websites (Where you can pay USD for a completly custom character). Each user has the chance to get the exact same pets and the exact same items. There are technically 'rarity limits', as certain designs have a small percentage of being the final outcome... but it is terribly easy to exploit through alternate accounts or with a close knit friend group.

There are 18+ boards, and while the content is explicitly nonsexual due to site rules, it is very uncomfortable to visit those boards. Its far too easy for children to lie about their age and gain access to these forum boards.

The oekaki (art forums) and Roleplay forums are honestly the worst in my opinion. The oekaki moderators are very inconsistant, punishing users for covering adoptables with covers (a harmless infraction) and not punishing them or posting innapropriate content. I was there for the content seen in Val C.'s review; and I was one of the people who attempted to report that user multiple times over the years. There are more people who post similar content, and havent been punished as of yet. There are constant cases of art theft and character theft, and the site moderators do next to nothing to prevent it.

The adoptable species / user made adoptables are the worst. Never before have I seen such blatant overcharging of site currency/ USD for the absolute minimum of a character design on a premade base. While there is a policy on CS to try and prevent this, the site mods and admins turn a blind eye to infractions constantly. The abuse of forum users by the creators and staff of the usermade adoptable species is also unacceptable. The website cs-discouse.tumblr.com showcase the toxicity of the usermade adoptables board, the abuse the users experience and more.
The roleplay boards are just as bad, with constant spamming of one-word posts or one sentence posts that are considered "roleplay posts". I don't know about you, but to me a proper roleplay role should be immersive and detailed, and not something you just do in one sentence.

Overall, I would avoid this website and switch to one that is more engaging at least. Try Furvilla, Mweor or even Pokefarm if you want 'adoptables' with some sort of forum.

Overall the trading and community within this game is fun and -for the most part- friendly. The staff team has been an absolute nightmare to interact with though. You can follow all of their rules and they go as far to look around on your profile and dig for any dirt they can smudge on you.

One of the rules regarding NSFW is understandable since this is a family friendly site, however, majority of people that I know use toyhouse (a character storage site) which may contain NSFW characters and underage blockers to try and prevent being seen, but does not stop underage users from lying about their age. I have clicked many toyhouse links that have characters that break CS rules, but the staff team is busy being in lala land to get on everyone's arse. Other links (like Twitter and Instagram) will also be thoroughly looked through. "Oh this character has nudity (no nipples, but bare chest uncovered) well sorry, but you can no longer link this site!" for 1 post. Easy solution is to remove that specific post, but if majority of your posts (or general content) appeals to adult themes, you're better off not linking that in the first place regardless if it's SFW.

Outside of the Child Safety, staff seems to play favorites and are biased with certain individuals or busy kissing up each other. The rarity system (planning to be changed at the time of writing this review) currently sucks as there is inflation regarding those rarities. There is also an inflation with chicken dollars (their premium currency). The site, from what I've see, is like it's own dumpster fire that wants to improve but isn't taking feedback or proper measures to make those steps.

I've been on this site for 3 years now and it's great!
The staff are kind and welcoming!
The demand is a little high for some pets but it's still fun!

I was a long time member of chicken smoothie I loved the pets and the designs one day I was in a foul mood so I told somebody to use their head "use your head" it may be rude but it's not THAT severe they said that what I did was bullying and harassment WHAT? Generally, the staff are just unfriendly I think that's what they need to imrpove
