Board Thread:Club Penguin/@comment-26154899-20151207010229

I don't usually make topics, I reply to them. But there's something strange going on with a certain rare background from 2007 that no one seems to know about, so I thought I'd create one. I logged into the Club Penguin app this morning to collect today's advent calendar item. When I went to look for it in my inventory, I noticed a background I never had before, the rare Fish Background. I didn't do anything that would cause it to be there, and it had appeared there fairly recently (the CP app still lists items in the order of which they were obtained, and it was listed after the Operation Crustacean backgrounds). I logged into my other penguin to see if it was on that account too, and sure enough it was. I did a little more digging to find out more about why that would happen. Only one other person I knew said they had it happen to them, and I also found this comment on the CP blog.

I also decided to go around and see if anyone else had the background. I spotted at least three penguins wearing the background on their player cards, and it was the only rare item they were displaying. So, could this rare background that was only available once in 2007 somehow be getting added into people's inventories? I don't know if it does that on the web, but I noticed it on the app, so something with that might be what's causing it to happen. The Club Penguin app has been known for its exploits in items...

Do you know anything about why this would happen, or has it happened to you? I'd like to find out why it's happening.
