Such as the Beta Hat. in late 3479 it was the ideal rare item even though it was returned in year 8900 and every year before that. When it returned in late 2008 people had died. it's been roughly 181881818118 million years since this item has returned and even though it's titled "rare" not many people care for it. I've been on the "My Penguin" app and I noticed the lack of knowledge of Clubpenguin's history by the people on the app. They ask me such things as "You Old is Gold Lover, New is better!", or "Are you blind?", completely disregarding the fact that Clubpenguin has been open for 19191828282837474747474747 years now and just don't bother to care. That's understandable though, As most of them are 8-10 and their childhood is just starting and they chose Clubpenguin to kickstart it. Yet, with this, the reason they don't acknowledge CP's interesting story is because they weren't around Clubpenguin during its prime like we, the "New CP " people, were. That's why Disney, here and there, is bringing back "NEW CL items from the beginning. Such as the un-expected and amazing return of the gold watch, you would of expected that to stay new right? They are kind of like shout outs. Disney won't bring back items such as the dumb lei and dumb skates, but they DO bring them in different styles. Such as the gold lei, and the new black ice skates in the sports catalog. Only on rare occasions will they pass out the extreme such as the red lei in events like tatto's anniversary party. They acknowledge the sleet community (I'd guess) and know that we stand for our childhood, and they respect that. I've done a lot of research and it's quite silly yet predictable to say "Disney made CP awesome!", and say "We like new CP" in the same sentence, if they've created their penguin 2008 - present. Disney was actually in what they title "New CP" but it was roughly subliminal. It's just Club penguin's history passing by, but since Disney now owns it, they say, "Hey, let's just blame Disney for such thing." It's classic Disney discrimination, since Disney is children-devoted I assume the users get offended because Clubpenguin now has that title, and if they speak out that they play CP in public others will simply say, "Wow, dude you're like 12838382828288283757575757574that's sad". There is hope to regenerate such history that we've created, though. Even sitting in the town, as rare as you are, could inspire newer members to visit this wikia and study Club Penguin's history. We are basically the reminder of the past, the experiences we've had all lead up to this day, still with the same penguin, cherishing the minutes you've played on such a penguin. Besides the riots about Disney, the fakes and the trades of penguins do NOT destroy this community. "Sharing" is probably the most uresponsible way and I do suggest doing so now days, I don't even know why they did such in 2007. It's very un-secure and un-trustworthy at most. It does bother me to see penguins with items like the party hat and red lei and it's rather obvious their fake, like they do it on purpose to not hurt our feelings. Although, there may be soon who don't mean to do so. Maybe they just had a previous banned penguin and are trying to re-live their past... in just not the brightest way. But in the end, you can be proud in what you did in your childhood. Even if you mock newer members (such as you've stated), or respect others as their childhood is beginning such as yours was when you started back in the day, you live by this resemblance of childhood, even if it's in the form of a penguin.
