Happy New Year Cyskazens!

Well it's 2013, and since Cyska launched in July, we have seen a lot of fabulous features and kitties roll out!

I imagine this year will be the year that we see breeding and Cyska and Sawyer only know what else. It's going to be a blast, and I am very happy to be in it from the beginning.

Just to go over what we have seen this year:

Cyska Siberians began with 3 breeds of cats - The Black Mackerel Tabby, Cinnamon Mackerel Tabby, and Chocolate Mackerel Tabby. The Cinnamon and Chocolate are no longer being made. But since July these breeds have been introduced:

• Solid Black
• Solid Orange
• Tortoiseshell Mackerel Tabby
• Orange Mackerel Tabby

A list of what new things have been introduced since the site launch:

• New Forums - Announcements, Rant, Help, Breeding
• Bank - 3 awesome CyDollar Packages here
• Forum Switcher - Option to put threads in different forums for accidental posts
• Pagination - In threads and messages
• Cats - Purr sound, Yawn animation, Feeding animation
• Friend Finder
• Account Deletion option
• Cat Security and Sale Features - Private Sale, NFS (Not For Sale) icon, Ability to lock cats to profile, Feed lock so only you can feed your kitty
• Posts - Ability to cancel, preview, and BUMP button
• Switching between cats on Play page
• Ability to feed cats from profile and switch cats in the same place
• User friendly dashboard with easy drop down menus to navigate the site faster
• Food amounts on Play page and at the top of page
• Ledger for Cydollars and Purrpoints, added 400 PP's each day for logging in
• 2 major decorating overhauls - The 2nd one actually has the ability to sell whole scenes!
• PayPal Gift Certificates
• Gifting was enabled just in time for Christmas! The feature was even made so that it wraps gifts (with a ton of options for the wrapping paper) and can be timed as to what date you wish them to be opened

And there have been a ton of extras and contests from both Admin and players:

• Trick Or Treating for food that made the feed animation different and scary!
• Halloween Scene Contest
• Santa Claws and the Reincats showed up for the holiday season and passed out many gifts. People were allowed to make Wishlists and received one item from this and also got little extras throughout the holiday season
• Two major CD sales, one for Black Friday (and also item sales), and one that ran from December 21st to December 31st

There were also a bunch of Moderator and Player run contests, but if I tried to list em all, I'd probably endup missing them. I'm sure there is a ton of stuff that I have missed listing. It's been a whirlwind half a year, and already Cyska Siberians has made a wonderful name as a site that cares deeply for it's customers and listens as well. I cannot wait to see what this year brings!
