My name is Ray (real name Steve) and welcome to my pride and joy: The Sapling! I've always been into making graphics/forums/websites ever since I was young. I used to make so many and never stuck to them so this is my attempt at making something I can be proud of and help grow. I LOVE video games, i'm quite an avid gamer. I have all the main consoles, PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX One, GBC, GBA SP, PSP Go, DS Lite, New 3DS, GameCube, (used to have a WII), WiiU, NES, and a SNES. XD I LOVE RPGS/JRPGS. My favourite games of all time are Paper Mario 2, FF7, FF9 & Tales of Symphonia.

My mum bought me my first console and super mario world as my first game on the SNES, after that I've just grown to love them. So much I went to University and studied Games Design. However you'd think I'd be working in the industry now but I'm not. Making games is super stressful and requires a lot of effort/passion and as you all know, I'm a very lazy guy so it didn't work out XD Still graduated though LOL

I'm 5 foot 4 (very short), chocolate brown hair with deep dark brown eyes. I'm a very cheerful/laid back kind of guy. I get VERY shy to the extent I avoid public events at times. I'm quite solitary and prefer my own company but at the same time I love seeing other people happy and spending time with my friends playing games, having a laugh. I have a few true best friends which I am extremely lucky to have had all the way from school. I'm also into spiritual stuff, I enjoy reading up on angels/guides, clairvoyancy, afterlife stories, ghost stories that kind of things..

I'm also into anime, I’ve seen quite a lot, Chobits, Death Note, Naruto, Azumanga Daioh, Attack on Titan, and Madoka to name a few. I want to expand my collection! Other things I’m into in my own time is collecting Amiibo, listening to Celtic/piano relaxing music. I love horror films most of all, dislike comedy mostly and I really like Disney films.

Mimi the Great said:

I'm pretty bad at introductions, so here's just a random list of stuff about me. I've loved Animal Crossing ever since Wild World, and I've also avidly played City Folk and New Leaf. I tend to cycle through villagers quickly (since I love meeting new characters) so I'll probably end up giving some away.

I wasn't very active on the old Sapling site, but I've gotten back into Animal Crossing so I'm sure that'll change. Online, I generally go by the name Mimi the Great, or sometimes Mimi TG. I love to roleplay, as well as talk to new people.

Outside of Animal Crossing, I generally like to write and take care of my dog. I also play many other games, including Pokemon (especially Mystery Dungeon), Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, Sonic, Super Smash Bros., Rhythm Heaven, and Terraria. My favorite is Scribblenauts Unlimited.

I'm sure it'll be nice to meet all of you.

@megg said:

Hello! My name is Megg! I'm a moderator on this forum and one of the three Mayors (owners) of our partner server, Cozy Crossing Community!

Part of my vision in creating Cozy Crossing Community together with my fellow server Mayors was to create a server/environment which is active and welcoming/friendly to all users who join! The server has come a long way, growing with many amazing members, and I'm really excited to be partnering our server with these forums!

I'm in college studying microbiology (I do, indeed, hate myself, it's true) and I assistant teach in a research lab! Games such as Animal Crossing are special escapes from the stresses of the sciences that I delve so deeply in, and my first animal crossing game was Wild World for the DS. My favorite villagers are Nate, Coco, and Kiki. Other than Animal Crossing, I love most Zelda games (particularly Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild), Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Stardew Valley, and the core Pokemon games (specifically Diamond/Pearl).

I am in the EST timezone, and you'll have to forgive me for my English, as I sometimes get confused (especially late at night). I was raised between both Germany and Tennessee and learned both English and German simultaneously, by a mother who was only just learning English herself.


Also, I just un-ironically love eggs.

My name is Sunny, and I am one of the Mayors of Cozy Crossing Community (I'm the crazy one of the three!). I also help moderate here on the Sapling Forums!

I am 22, a born and raised Texan, and I currently reside in Missouri (Central Standard Time) as a K-12 art teacher. I helped create Cozy Crossing Community, and I make a majority of the graphics for the server, as a self-taught artist, coding, and graphics nerd. If you need any advice on art or graphics, you know who to talk to! In addition to teaching, I also am a published author and illustrator. I have one book out, and I'm working on my second currently.  

I'm a very friendly and outgoing person, who is said to sing like a Disney princess. I love anything to do with the arts. (Music, Writing, Literature, Dance, Theatre, etc.) Here are some fun random things you may or may not care about: 

• I've been to forty-two U.S States and seven countries in 22 years of life. 
  
  
• I am the shortest person on the Sapling Staff, at a whopping 4 foot 10 and 3/4 inches. 
  
  
• My eyes are green, and one is slightly bluer than the other, so on certain days one of my eyes looks blue, and the other looks green. 
  
  
• I have pre-pre Alzheimers. I'm deficient in a chemical in my brain that helps with my memory, so if I forget something, I PROMISE it was not intentional.
   
• I have climbed a glacier, been in an emergency landing in a small plane, flown over the grand canyon, watched killer whales and humpbacks in the wild, sat on a camel, seen the Mona Lisa, and met a 3rd place American Idol winning contestant.  

Anyhoo, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have ANY sort of question whatsoever. My goal is to help you to feel like you're part of our family, so just call me, beep me if you wanna reach me. Kim possibl--wait what?

Hello, I’m Silver. Mayor of Cozy Crossing Community and moderator of The Sapling Forums.

Animal Crossing has been a part of my life almost as long as I can remember, and it is easily my favorite game series of all time. I have well over 1000 hours across all main series games, so I can probably answer most Animal Crossing related questions. I’m still fairly active in New Leaf, so if you need villager signatures feel free to message me. Other than Animal Crossing I play a wide variety of other games. Some of my favorites include Pokémon, Starcraft, Civilization, Pikmin, and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.

When I’m not playing games, I enjoy learning about various things. I tend to have a new obsession about every month, so don’t be surprised if I start talking about really obscure topics seemingly at random. I also enjoy being creative in general, whether that be art, writing, or just about anything else. I love having an idea and seeing it come to life.


I think that gives a decent enough description of who I am. I look forward to being a part of this community!

Hiya, I'm Ridley! I'm a Moderator on the Cozy Crossing Community Discord Server and of course, The Sapling Forums. I'm pleased to be apart of the staff team on both of these nice communities. 


My timezone is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and I'm active throughout the day; so if you ever have an issue feel free to message me and I'll help you out in the best way I can. 

My goal in life is to become an Author of some kind, whether that be in the media industry or the next Stephen King (I could never be as great as him though). Writing is definitely a passion I have had in recent years and an imaginative mind like mine goes wild when I have a pen and some paper laying around. 

I plan on studying Journalism when I go to University! 

I'm an avid Super Smash Bros fan. I have played the game for more than a decade and I doubt I would be the way I am today without it, (which is weird to say because it's a fighting game) it got me through some issues when I was young and the game continues to help me today. I intend to play competitively in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so when the game comes out feel free to message me so we can play! Feel free to ask for tips and advice as well! 

Feel free to message me directly if you have any suggestions, comments, or concerns about the CCC Discord Server if other staff members are unavailable or if you just like me the most because I'm the best ever, just kidding, my ego isn't that big. 

P.S - My name has nothing to do with Ridley from the Metroid series. 
P.P.S - It's actually one of my names, it's just my preferred nickname plus sharing a name with Ridley is cool as hell, not gonna hide that.

simfan96 said:

Hello everyone! My name is SimFan96 but feel free to call me by my real name, Cody! I'm a moderator of The Sapling Forums and one of the Cozy Crossing Community Discord. I've been a huge fan of Animal Crossing ever since my dad bought me the original Gamecube game years back. Ever since then, I've loved catching fish, talking and writing letters to my favorite villagers, and designing my house in AC and have done so ever since!

I'm a college student with an AAS in Computer Programming and planning on continuing my education for a higher level of a degree since I love computers and working with them as you can tell. (; On my freetime I love playing video games such as Animal Crossing (obviously), The Sims, Mario games, and have been into playing and tinkering with Super Mario World romhacks (and yes, I'm making a Super Mario World version of Tangy to be playable in the game.)

My favorite villagers in Animal Crossing are Tangy, Mitzi, heck any kind of cat villager out there is part of my favorite list! :3 My favorite aspect of the Animal Crossing games are all of the collecting you can do in-game (fishing, bug hunting) and talking with my all-time favorite kitty cat villagers.

I'm part of the Central Time zone and try to be on as much as possible.

It's a pleasure to meet you and I'm looking forward to being a moderator and being a part of this site!
