in the past I had lots of complaints for never updating the news box, well I'm making up for it now! There's some new school uniform sets in the shop to celebrate back-to-school season, and two new warrior cats on the cats page! Todays cats are Redtail and Heatherpaw

We are hoping to get all of your fanart uploaded to our fanart collection page over the coming weeks or months, but we've been having some technical issues so I don't know how long til the collection will be complete! 18 pictures have recently been added so please check em out A big thankyou to the artists of these lovely creations, it warms my heart to see so many enthusiastic supporters ^__^

Lawliets made a bunch more warrior cats which will be appearing in the adoption page throughout the month - todays new cats are Spiderleg and Yellowfang

Added a few more things to the shop but there will be more coming over the next few days nearly time for the September pets to appear too!

From Nick and Tess, a big congratulations to Lunayla! She was the randomly selected winner out of the first 50 people to top up their Chicken Smoothie accounts. We're mailing her prizepack out to her tomorrow . Thanks to everyone who topped up, your support is keeping this website running!

Here's the prizepack:

Wow, check out the new website!

We've been working for months and months on our new-look website. Tess designed the whole thing (isn't it gorgeous?) and Nick built it... .

Apart from our new-look website and forums, we have lots of new features.

We have a new Oekaki (drawing) board where you can draw pictures and post them, all on our website. We have so many aspiring artists in the community and we're very eager to see what they can do!

You can now trade items as well as pets.

We have a new help section on the main site that hopefully answers all the questions that appear on the forum every day. We'll be adding to this over the next couple of weeks to make sure we cover everything.. .

Now, we're straining the limits of our current server. At peak times, page loading speed is very slow. In order to keep growing our website, we need to run a faster server. The problem with this is that the faster server is very expensive to run. In order to cover our costs we need to have a source of income. So we've added a new store to Chicken Smoothie! We've got lots of items available right now and we'll be adding more over the next few weeks. You can buy items with "Chicken Dollars" (C$), and you can get Chicken Dollars by topping up your account with Paypal or a credit card. We didn't want to have to charge for things but we think this is the best way to fund the site going forward.

We hope that we can continue to make Chicken Smoothie bigger, more popular and more fun!

There's actually a new pet on the "Nick's pets" page now

A big thanks to gLove, Leurai, kelseyk721, Aishiru, Hoshiko, Taethiana, nekoasato, kickthem, Da Wolfster, Draco_The_Wolf and Uber Lizzy for the amazing array of chibified people versions of CS pets I recieved today *^__^* you guys are incredible, thankyou very much :3 I hope I haven't missed anyone!

just a reminder that I'm currently bogged down with exams and stuff so I'm not really around much for the next 2 weeks - but expect to see some big updates once I'm done with exams as me and Nick have a lot planned

the help@chickensmoothie.com email is working again, so please direct your questions there or post them on the help/suggestions forum as I don't really have the time to reply to PMs which can be answered elsewhere

thanks everyone, I understand that summer vacation has begun for a large proportion of you so CS is probably slower than ever but we hope to better accomodate you on a faster server soon..
