I'm always cracking my neck to relieve some muscle tension, probably for over 10 or 15 years now. Every once in a while I'll get some severe upper shoulder back pain that takes a while to correct itself, usually getting much better after popping/cracking/traction of some sort on the spine. I'm sure there are probably other people on here who have the same issues in one way or another, and are frequently cracking their back/neck. So I'd have to ask, has anyone ever seen "stars" (a number of black dots that move leaving distorted trails in your vision) after cracking their neck?

Ohnoes cancer in MY optic nerve?
Why the hell would my optic nerve be running through my neck/shoulder area.
So that means the olfactory nerve's connected to the... anus?

Yep.
These spots in your vision, are they like the ones one gets after a particularly violent sneeze due to blood flow in the retina, or are they simply floaters?
More similar to floaters, but with floaters I've always just had a distorted view like you get through an old distorted piece of glass that has a ridge in it. These are more like completely black holes that move around quickly leaving tear-dropped shaped distorted halos around them. Only lasts for a few seconds then it all goes away completely.

That sounds like retinal blood flow to me. The route of the black holes is the blood vessels in the back of your eyeball.

Go get a massage.
I was in a car accident when i was a teenager and I went to a chiro and stuff and they'd crack my neck.. and then i'd crack it sometimes when i was stretching it out
after a few years it wouldn't crack any more for some reason
if I the issues you were having I'd probably stop doing it...
