    The only time I've ever been questioned (and it was for a BD pet, not a UC) I just said I traded it. They looked up the account (which was secretly my alt), saw it was frozen and probably stopped caring.

    If you really do get grilled just do that. Or send me a PM and I'll give you one of my fifty frozen alts' names.

    I agree.
    As somebody who doesn't visit the boards i want a pet that has never been exposed to the PC or any boards. One people wouldn't look up on a weekly basis just to see what happened to them or if they were traded.
    PC safe for someone like me is an immediate red flag and a do not want.

    if im active on the boards than idek. i most likely wouldn't even bother with buying UCs in general.

    Oh, well .. I just never seen anyone coming for a user with a young account that had a VWN T2, for example, but maybe times have changed and they'll go after anyone they don't like.

    But does the account age helps to blend in? I mean, yesterday theere was this drama of someone calling out a user who had a UC Mutant Hissi on a 4-month account but fortunately he/she managed to control the situation.
    To some degree it matters, yeah. The pet conversion thing happened in 2007 which was obviously a pretty long time ago.

    The account my UC is on happens to be older than that and is full of achievements, so it might be the reason why nobody cares. But so long as your account is older than April 26th 2007 and the pet isn't PC active, you could just say you always had it.

    Good point, my account is almost 17 years old, and no one has ever questioned any of the sketchy things I've done/come up with.

    I don't buy pets and if I want a pet I get it myself. And I 100% thing it's stupid to go on the PC or boards with ANY new pet whether bought or not. Just have it sit there on your account. Doesn't hurt to be patient. Dress it up pretty, write a brief description and let it sit. People will look up the pet, see the customization and go oh nice. But if you make yourself known people get suspicious of anything new you get.

    True, you will see horror stories about fat women with too much free time mass-reporting a UC they envy. But when it comes to "PC safe," it's just a myth. People will piss themselves off over nothing, report you for nothing and TNT will do nothing when this automated process takes away your account, leaving you with nothing. The only way to stay safe is to not use the boards.
    Loved this one! Darlin, I'm a little old fat RETIRED Grandma with a UC so damn ugly only its Mama could love it. A couple of years ago I tried to trade it on the PC. No one and I mean no one wanted it. I even tried to give it away, No luck. Believe me, the PC made me so darn crazy over the Pet I never went back! Don't you ever worry about seeing THIS Fat lady with more free time on her hands on that board again. Thank you for my chuckle of the day. You kids are great and I love you all dearly.

    What is the number one thing everybody tells you when you buy an UC pet?

    **Lay low and avoid being too public with the pet too soon**

    With advise like that, why on earth would you want a pet that has already been exposed to the PC and is "pc safe"? This just means there are more eyes on the pet. There are more people who know about it, about it's past, wondering why you have it and how. Why would anybody want that kind of pressure while they are buying an UC pet?

    I can understand if you are trading pets on ck via the trading thread. As far as buying, though, I feel like "pc safe" would be a negative instead of a positive.

    I'm just confused why people PM me asking me for "pc safe" pets, thinking they are better off going that route. If it were me, I would want a pet that nobody knew about. I'd want a pet that had never seen the light of day on the pc so I know that nobody is stalking it.

    Thoughts?
    I totally agree. When I started reading this term, I thought it meant the opposite. I remember someone had a thread "buying PC safe pets", and then I thought that nobody would want a pet that has been already exposed to the PC and PMed the person. Wanting a "PC safe" pet makes no sense to me at all.
