cK 10th Anniversary

I want to start this post by saying I never imagined seeing a hobby like this turn into something so beautiful. The bots. The friends we all made. The experiences. The lessons learned. I could go on…

This is a very sincere thank you to the entire clraik community, especially all of staff that makes the magic happen for everyone. We became the best community within a week of opening and it has remained that way after ten years.

The community’s fervent interest in the content we create and the events we host is extremely uplifting. It gives us a great sense of fulfillment to see our flair glowing all around the community.


And speaking of which…

A huge shout-out to our amazing administrator, @(you need an account to see links) for this gorgeous new userbar for everyone to collect. This one is perfect for the occasion!

I’ve greatly enjoyed the time that I’ve spent with all of you over the past ten years, and myself and the rest of our staff would love to hear about experiences you’ve had with our community that have positively impacted you. Whether it’s the bots you’ve used, guides you’ve followed, the friends you’ve made, or any of the many conversations you might’ve joined. Please share your stories with us here!

Hard to believe this place is 10 years old. It feels like yesterday this forum was created as a break away from DZ when it began dying, and everyone said ZB would be the one to last between the two forums that split from there, and that ZB would be the forum to die after all the bragging about how much better of a place it was. Ironic, hilarious even how this forum is not only the one left standing between them all pretty much, but is actually successful and has a loyal userbase. Just goes to show how much care was put into this place to make it stand apart from the rest. I'm glad I ended up here instead in the end.

Good memories, but this forum had nothing to do with DZ. I parted ways from a previous community I was involved with, which was the best decision I could've made!

Fun fact: DZ staff said this forum wouldn't last more than three months. I love proving people wrong.

Happy Anniversary clraik and Joe!

I found this forum while looking for help when my son's account was "hacked". Everyone here was, and still is, helpful. Everyone here is smart, funny, and wickedly good at finding solutions to problems we shouldn't be having. I admire the staff here - They keep the community going. I continue to look forward to my daily visits to the forum because this place is just so much fun.

I thank everyone who contributes to the community. You've made clraik and Neopets a better place. Here's to 10 more years...

Cheers!

I originally found this site due to some PC Drama.
And later joined for the programs.

I've met some great people on here and built up a more well rounded account on neo.

When I think of CK, I almost think of defenders of neopia. It was a great event!
Lots of fond memories!

Thanks to all the staff that keep the site running.
And thanks to all the members that make this a place you want to come back to every day.
Congrats to 10 years!

I think I'm confusing when DZ said you wouldn't last 3 months with ZB being the offshoot of DZ oops.

Either way, every community that tried to say they were superior to CK through out the years, and slam this site because of it's success. Look where they are now.

I may have only been here a year and a half but I will always cherish the friendship and laughter I've gained from this amazing site for years to come.
Thank you to everyone who has shown me kindness and made me feel welcome here. This site thrives because of people like you. I love you all <3

I found this site because I was obsessed with Neopets Mystery Picture competition. It was here that I found my weekly answers.
Beyond that, I found a community of wonderful people. We get a peek into each others lives and have an opportunity to delve deeper if we want.
And lets not forget all the fun we are having with events and our beloved little Ryu's
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all of you

I first found this site ages ago when I was looking up birthday pets to farm those cupcakes! And then officially joined when I decided that pc trading was too much of a slog and I'd rather just outright get what I want xD Throughout the last year or so I've made some fantastic friends and participated in some great events (I'd never really baked before haha) and am so happy for this community!

Happy holidays and a happy 10 years to ck everyone!

Happy 10th anniversary, everyone!

I've really joined relatively recently and have been away for awhile, but the wholesomeness of this community when I first joined and with every interaction that I've had made me fall in love with this place instantly. I'm grateful for a safe place to not only conduct my neo shenanigans but also to speak what's on my mind without judgement. Many thanks to the wonderful staff and fellow members who make this possible.
