Forum Categories
On Chicken Smoothie, players can communicate with each other over a section of the site referred to commonly as "the forums." There, players can make public posts, and other members can reply them. While Chicken Smoothie also has a private messaging system for private conversations (note that all site rules still apply to private messages), players use the forums to have open discussions, advertise trades, and play games with other members. There are even certain sections that can be used to display art, dress ups, and store special information used on other topics.
For the purpose of organization, there are many different sections in the forum boards. Each section is individually referred to as a "forum," while the five main sections are called "boards." That way, members who are searching for something specific they can find it more easily.
Our voulenteer team works hard each day, moderating the site to make sure the site rules are followed. Although different team members have different duties, but ultimately they all serve to make sure everyone can have a safe, fun experience on Chicken Smoothie!
Most users are able to post in any forum once their first post has been approved by a moderator, but COPPA members have more restrictions due to the standards placed by the United States on its citizens under the age of 13. They can only post in a few select boards, and even have certain forums blocked from view.
The General Forums
These topics can be found at the top of the page upon clicking the "Forums" tab at the top of the site. There are so many different forums here that they've been split into sub-forums as well!
Suggestions + Help
CS Help, Suggestions, and Problems
This section has two uses, the first of which is to ask easy questions about the site. This should be used to get answers from other users about problems they'd be able to assist with. More complicated questions should be submitted to the Help system for an official answer from the CS Team.
This board can also be used to make suggestions for the site, bringing up ideas for new features that would make using CS easier or more fun. Some of the more frequent suggestions just aren't possible at this time, so please make sure to check what has already been declined before.

Role Play
Human Roleplays (Realistic)
This section of the role play board hosts realistic games for writers of all abilities. While the setting may vary (such as realistic historical events) all the characters have normal abilities and real-world limitations.
Public: Yes - COPPA: Hidden - Member: UnrestrictedAnimal Roleplays (Realistic)
The games here focus on animal characters which are bound by the limitations of the real world. The species allowed here exist in real life, and match the time period of the role play. Writers of all skill levels are welcome to participate.
Public: Yes - COPPA: Readable - Member: UnrestrictedHuman/Humanoid Roleplays (Fantasy)
This section allows for human(oid) characters to be played in more fantastical settings. Powers, special abilities, humanoid species (aliens, monsters, mythology, etc.) are all proper topics in this location. All skill levels of writing are welcome to this section. However, role plays which are based on existing universes (like those from books or movies) belong in a fandom-based forum.
Public: Yes - COPPA: Hidden - Member: UnrestrictedAnimal Roleplays (Fantasy)
Here is the spot for role plays that focus on animals with powers or abilities. This category also encompasses mythological creatures which don't exist in real life, or creatures whose abilities don't match the setting they are in. All writers are welcome to post no matter their skill level. Public: Yes - COPPA: Readable - Member: Unrestricted
Human/Humanoid Roleplays (Fandom-based)
All writers are welcome to post on this forum with games focused on existing media about humans or humanoid characters. The original universe may come from books, movies, games or any sort of media. The games themselves can focus on canon characters, or original ones placed into the same universe as the original material. As long as it focuses on humanoid characters and is based on an existing work, it belongs in this section.
Public: Yes - COPPA: Hidden - Member: UnrestrictedAnimal Roleplays (Fandom-based)
For role plays based on animals from existing universes (books, games, movies, etc.), all skill levels of writers are welcome to post here. The character can either be canon from the source material, or original ones while users play in the universe created by the existing content.
Public: Yes - COPPA: Readable - Member: UnrestrictedHuman/Humanoid Roleplays (Advanced/Semi-lit and Lit+)
For our more advanced writers, the "lit" forum is a great place to expand you skills in creative writing. The posts here are generally expected to be long and detailed. The person running the RP sets the standard for the specific game. This section focuses on games with humanoid characters, regardless of the setting, inspiration, or universal rules.
Public: Yes - COPPA: Hidden - Member: UnrestrictedAnimal/Fantasy Creature Roleplays (Advanced/Semi-lit and Lit+)
Writers who wish to write more advanced posts use the "lit" board to improve their writing skills. The game host can decide the specific literacy level for their own game, but generally this forum expects longer, more detailed contributions. The characters here are animals, and can be placed in any setting despite realism or inspiration.
Public: Yes - COPPA: Readable - Member: Unrestricted1x1 and Invite-Only Roleplays
Arrange for private games between yourself and a small group (or even just one person) here.

Dressup Challenge
Dressup Challenges
Display your pet dress ups by submitting them to an active challenge! Once submitted to a challenge, the dress up will be preserved forever, even you you later take the items off the pet. The challenges are simply fun prompts, there are no official winners.
Each challenge has its own section, listed chronologically on the main page. Each challenge displays three sections: recent activity, random entries, and the most popular. The recent activity category shows the dress up topics with the most recent comments, while the popular entries are those with the most likes (although they are still displayed chronologically by latest post). Random entries are drawn from all the pictures submitted for a given challenge.
