Yesterday, CR turned two years old! It's really weird to think that I've been on this site for two years. Not only that, but a lot of you have been here near the start of its opening. I'm thrilled to see that whilst we have the old school members, we are still bringing in new members. CR has been a pretty large part of my life, as you probably would have noticed over the past two years. I've worked hard to keep this place active, and I love seeing how dedicated and committed you all are to this place. I know sometimes our muses slip, and we take breaks from CR, but it's always great to see you back again. Last year I thanked a bunch of people for helping me through CR, and again I'd like to thank my brilliant staff team for keeping this place running when I can't. I would also like to thank all of you for being the core of CR. Without you guys, there wouldn't be this site Last year we did a competition where we created things for CR's birthday. This year I won't be doing a competition, but if you want to make anything for CR's birthday, then feel free and post it in this thread. Also in this thread, you can talk about CR over the past two years. A bit like the awards, you could post what your favourite threads were, what memorable moments were there? Chat about anything, this is an open thread For me, I'm a sucker for love stories. I particularly enjoyed the plot with Ink and Sage (me and Fate), with the tragic love story. Poor Ink just had to go and die D: And not forgetting the love story of Florence and Panja (& Streiter...?) I loved those two very dearly and I miss playing a crazy, evil lioness XD One of my favourite threads was when Florence gave birth to her first litter in the middle of a storm. Brooke and Hueso got hold of her and it wasn't pretty. However Panja was there to rescue her <33 (thread here) Other favourites include my torture threads such as this one with Rikki And this one where Florence tortures Gravity. So yeah, share your awesome moments guys. I love you aaallll <33

I joined CR not to long after it opened, for the longest time this was the only place I could go to have fun, seeing as I have no nearby friends in RL, so I just hung around here, plotting away.
I had a vanishing spree recently, but I've been trying to get back, and through all this time, I've met so many cool people and new friends, like Pic, Mud, Mac, and all you people! <3
This place is so amazing and I love it and will always love it.

I joined CR within its first month of being created, I think (or maybe the first couple of months). This site is seriously like the most addictive drug in the world, but instead of harming, it inspires creativity and friendship... I'm really happy to have been a part of this whole thing. I've made so many friends and taken part in such awesome threads. I doubt I'll ever forget this place, even if I leave. I can't wait to see where this next year takes the site. :D

I joined CR on the 19th of September (-Checks her profile to make sure it's right-), after following Trau here from a Warriors RP we were both senior members/ staff of at the time. I remember being more excited than I had been in a long time about anything; I'd never encountered a canine and feline RP, nor had I joined one that had a minimum posting requirement. When I arrived, the site was in the middle of the plot where Gravity was ambushed and captured by Florence, so my first character, Albanach the Scottish deerhound, had the chance to be involved with the rescue. I really developed my role-playing and writing skills with all the different characters I've played, and continue to play today.
As cheesy as it may sound, I don't remember how I first entered the Cbox - I just remember that everyone was awesome and friendly, and the site was so much fun. And we're all weirdos together here, which is great! There were so many funny and frightening incidents over the (almost) two years I've been here, combined with awesome plots, characters, and generally having fun.
When I had the privilege to become a staff member, I know I was so happy, it was almost like joining the site again - partly because I was so curious about what lay inside the magical staff room doors (what was that they said about porn? O.O And unicorns?! 8DD)
Anyway, CR has really been my drug for the last two years, and I hope it continues to thrive. Happy second birthday, Conflicting Rivals! 8'DDDD

I got here in like January 2011 I want to say. In that time I've been on two patrols on a cutter. Errytime I came back it was the same faces and the same welcome. Then there was the court-martial trial I went through as a witness last January, which I will say that you guys all helped me through. A court-martial is not fun at all, and I've been extremely grateful that everyone on the site was willing to help me through it, even without knowing exactly what was going on or why I was there (or, sometimes, exactly who I was.) So thank you so much. It meant a lot at the time and even more now, looking back. In the meantime I've had a super fun time. There's me and Mud's endless, ridiculous love stories and silly jokes and cats based on Monty Python characters. Reading everyone else's plots is super entertaining. And then there's all the drunkposting (plus sexposting?!) I've done which you guys have suffered through/laughed at me afterwards for. So yeah. I love you guys

Happy birthday CR!
Man this place is so olddd o__o I’ve never been a part of a site for this long before…I think the longest before joining this one was less than six months, so it’s pretty crazy for me to think that I’ve continued to belong somewhere for two whole years now. I first joined the site back in the summer of 2010, a month before I was about to start my last year of high school. I’ve changed and grown so much as a person in those two years, but luckily my love of roleplaying hasn’t gone anywhere, and even though there are times when I can’t really be around here much (like…this entire summer… -guilty face-), I don’t really see myself ever quitting completely unless something dramatic happens in my life or the site falls inactive. Hopefully neither of those two will ever happen because it’d be really sad not having CR in my life.
As for my favorite roleplay moments…I can’t really think of anything specific right now, but I pretty much love any thread with Panja/Florence, Panja/Kira and Panja/Rikki x) <3
Here’s to hopefully two more great years! -raises wine glass-

*Cheers with Zen* Let's celebrate this properly and gracefully shall we not my dear? ;D
Wow, two years are actually a really lot of time and I've had sooo many characters here compared to what I've been used to before CR. I actually think CR was the first real forum rpg I've ever joined and I remember that the fact that there was a word minimum AND the fact that the site was in English was pretty challenging for me :b I wasn't sure I could make it, but I think I've done fine so far ^^
It was Tachi who showed me the site and I'm really happy she did since I think this site has helped me improving my English and I’ve also had a pretty good time here (: When will I stop? I have no idea! I’m 20 years old now, but oh well, I still got the time for this place from time to time (; About when I started? Well, the 19th of August, not long before the capture of Gravity – gosh it has been a long time ago!
As for my favorite threads? I really don’t know, haha :b But I have enjoyed the battles and intrigues I’ve been a part of so I hope to make some more of that ^^ As for Panja and Kira as Zen mentions? I love it. And I hope my little Antigone will make some ravage in Tempest, who knows? ( - be careful Smiff (; )
I hope to get more awesome times with all of you guys, that we will stay active for a much longer time and that we will always have an awesome atmosphere.
Happy birthday CR! (:

God, i cant even begin to start naming my favorite moments during the site's history. But I got to tell you guys, being here for so long - you guys are like my second family. Like some of you before have said... being on this site since 2010 all the way till the present - a person can change a lot. I know I have. Sometimes when my life hit points that were so stressful and overwhelming that I would escape to my safe little haven of Conflicting Rivals. And my god - just look at all the things our characters have accomplished.
I could go on ages about my own characters and how they've changed and grown, but I'll spare you all the novella that would take. If I had to pick one plot that I was really fond of though... I would have to say it was way at the beginning, when Brooke lead several pack members to infiltrate and burn the hospital, rescuing Gravity in the process.
Ah and then there are even more recent happenings on CR that i've loved. The stuff I have planned out for the future with this site is already exciting me! Even though I'm just coming back after a long streak of inactivity, I feel just as at home and welcome as ever. <3
I love all you guys. Thanks for all the wonderful memories and here's to some great new ones!
