Owlgirl~ You are always mature and always level-headed in arguments. I can see you becoming a leader of some sort. Thanks for being on the CB!

Rose bud~ You are and AMAZING writer and poet, you have creative ideas and a truly kind heart :) Your theater RPG was one of my favorite RP's I've ever been in.  

Kitten~ You are so sweet (just like your name!) and creative, especially when it comes to writing!

Cockleburr~ Your art is wonderful! You always seem to capture movement really well in your drawings, and are amazing at drawing hands and feet. You are kind, strong, and supportive, especially of other artists. 

Nighthawk~ You have a good taste in music and humor, and you're fun to be around on the CB.

Lap R.~ I don't know where you went, but you always commented on everyone's art on the art thread, which was really encouraging and thoughtful. You are an awesome artist, and very upbeat.

P.S. My captcha just said hero!

Thank you, September!  Haha I'm glad you like my name! And I appreciate the support!  I'm very glad to still be here around the CB despite the fact I don't have a lot of time and don't know everyone here very well plus my age, and I'm thankful the warm welcome I still receive! 

Quick compliment to the Admin: Thanks for all you do to keep the CB a special place and, despite how much time passes, you're always there to encourage and help us out.  I'd be a very different person without the CB, so thank you.

You and all others are very welcome. You all do a lot to brighten our lives, too!

Aww, thank you September, you are so sweet! That just really added onto my wonderful day today (you know, Gif wars and all? Still have no idea how you put up with us on days like these xD)

September ~ You are so sweet and compassionate to everyone you know, and your calligraphy is stunning! Not to mention art, writing, everything. Just amazing. And the fact that you are always putting others before yourself? Brilliant! I am honored to get to know you both here and outside the CB.

Gared ~ I kinda already did a compliment thing on the other thread, but I shall say it again: you are just splendid in all you do. Your courage, humor, intelligence, and nerdiness. From dropping Hamlet quotes to Gif Wars to the Boarding School RP and the constant support you give me and the others, it is amazing. While I am upset you left, I support your reason. And like September, I am so glad I get to know you outside of the CB.

St. ~ Oh, my friend, you are wonderful! I love how courageous and kind you are! It runs through your blood, I know you will change the world some day. You always manage to put a smile on my face, even just thinking about all the kind things you've said. You really light up the world, St., so blow us all away! And like the first two, again, it is an honor to talk to you outside the CB. :D

Nico ~ I am not sure how active you are at the moment, but I wanted to say your sense of humor is fantastic! I love how you base yourself almost like an AE, so much off of Nico from the book. That is just awesome!

BHR ~ I don't get to say enough how much you have inspired me! I have known you since you first joined, and wow, it is astonishing. From restarting World Domination in 2012 to your amazing support and kind words, you have been an amazing CBer. I haven't got to know you too well, which is shocking considering all the time, but I do hope to do so. You are fantastic, never forget that.

Claaws ~ Kudos for being one of the most courageous people I know! You are fearless, like your name suggests, ready to step up for anything you believe in. Not only that, but you are a fabulous writer and have a great sense of humor. Keep at it!

GreenMango ~ Friend, I love your support and kindness you have given not only me but all the others! When I was in times of need or a smile you were one of the first to step up. And I will never get over all your fantastic stories and skills, not to mention all the times you have told me about Florida! While I don't know if I'd move there or not, I'd at least visit someday. So keep at it, you are quite brilliant and will go far in life!

Booksy ~ One, welcome back! We've awfully missed you. And you know why? Because, Booksy, you are fantastic and bright and wonderful! Supportive no matter what, and always so peaceful about things. That makes me smile, because we all need a soft and calming light like you in our lives. Thanks for being here on the CB!

@Admins, I sometimes feel you don't get enough appreciation, especially considering recent times. You are wonderful and supportive, since the CB's start in 2008. Not to mention you have whole lives to run outside of this small place! Editorial jobs for Cricket, who knows what else? Families? We won't know. No matter what you do, your caring for us is brilliant. You and I might share many different opinions about things, but so do all humans. I am glad you are working toward making the CB an equal place for everyone, and that no matter what, you keep calm in the river flowing through the world. Thank you! Oh, not to mention, I absolutely love your stories, like the one about the blue moon ice cream. :D

I will do more later, my dear friends! 

Thank you for all your kind words, Ashlee. I guess I'll never outlive that blue moon ice cream. I let it be a remider to myself to slow down and step carefully!

@Everyone: Thank you all for pulling me back every time I feel bad, discouraged, or just down in general.  It really helps to hear all the nice things going around, even when this disagreement is going on.  

I have still left; I'm not coming back or posting for some time. Don't worry. But I am sharing this art I made today to thank the best workers on this site. 

Without the Admins, Chatterbox would be full of arguments, spam, swearing and rudeness, and lacking the truly passionate creative sharing there is now. They make sure this website is clean and welcoming for everyone here, and they tirelessly go over every single post we make, the hundreds that come in. They regulate any disagreements and try to find the best solutions possible, and we come out better as a community for it. Recently I've seen a few posts calling out the Admins for some of the rules they put into place. While I'm 1000% in for gender and orientation equality, you have to remember that they're trying to please everyone that comes on here, and everyone has different views and opinions. Please, just... remember how much the Admins do for CB. Without them, this would be a wildly different place.

As for the art, the three figures are supposed to represent the "day" Admin on the left with the sun, the "weekend" Admin in the middle with the cloud (filling in for the other two), and the "evening" Admin on the right with the moon.  

So, I suppose, this is my compliment to the Admins. :) 

Thank you so much, CL! We love this! I'll share it with the others.

@Ashlee:  Thank you!  It really touches me that I've inspired you.  I appreciate that so much.  I'm glad what I've said and done has been enjoyed.  I love being on here and interacting with everyone.  I would love to get to know you better too!  I appreciate that so much, thank you!

Aww you all are so sweet and I love you eternally. I was just thinking of making one of these, but you beat me to it!

September: You are such a kind and considerate person, and you always look out for everyone. I could honestly not imagine the CB without your kindness and warmth. Also, your poetry is some of the most beautiful writing I've ever read. I aspire to write as well as you do. And yay, fellow planning addict! I love you!

Bluebird: Oh my goodness where do I even start? You are an incredibly kind and talented person who inspires me each and every day. Your poetry is publisher worthy and your skill with metaphor awe-inspiring. And don't even get me started on your art. I follow a lot of professional artists on social media, and I can honestly say that your work is better than a lot of theirs. Also, I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but I first decided to look up Halsey because you mentioned her, and now she's my favorite artist. So thanks for that, and thanks for just being here.

Cockleburr: I can safely say that you are the sweetest, kindest person I know of. You can always cheer me up on a bad day and you're always so free and open to talk about anything under the sun. I love you so so much. I'm so glad we get to be team fifteen together and just talk. Thanks for putting up with me and always being so understanding. You comment on almost every thread and are always there for everyone. I honestly aspire to be like you. 

Ashlee: You are like the big sister of the CB, always there to give advice and cheer everyone up. Your unfailing optimism is truly inspiring, as is your strive for fairness and equality. Thanks for being here for us all, and happy CBversary!

Mei: I absolutely love your firy-hot spirit and the enthusiasm with which you approach the world. This world needs more people like you, and you are undoubtedly going to change it for the better. With your kindness and spirit, you are truly a rare gem. I swear, it's only a couple years before we'll be reading your name in the newspaper and your books in stores.

I have so many more to do, but I'm running out of time!
