Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Welcome to the CB, Cloudfire! The guide the Admin shared should help you, but if you'd like a brief summary... we talk about all sorts of things! We post art and writing, we have roleplays, we discuss what's going on in the world, we share random thoughts and rants, and more!

If you're not sure how to start, you can just find a thread that seems interesting (preferably a somewhat current thread) and leave a comment. Eventually, when you get more comfortable, you can start your own threads! (Not that there's any reason you shouldn't start a new thread now, but if you're unsure about what to do, starting by commenting on other threads is a pretty safe bet.)

Anyway, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Ooh, I love your name! It's really pretty.

Anyway, hi! I'm PygmyOwl, and it's great to meet you! 

What do we talk about? Well, pretty much anything and everything. As long as it follows the rules, of course, but that still leaves a lot of topics. I don't know what you are interested in, but I'll send you a few links to some interesting and recent threads.

Word Game: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/444304 This is a fairly simple, yet fun thread that should be at least mildly interesting to most people.

Photography Contest: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/432033 There are quite a few contests on the CB, and this is one of the oldest ones.

Book Guessing: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/blababoutbooks/node/435308 Most of the threads on Blab About Books are best to explore for yourself, since book tastes are very personal, but this thread is good for any book lover. It's sort of dead, but it's worth bringing it back.

Happiness Challenge 4.0: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/442499 This is a beautiful thread where you attempt to post one happy thing every day.

Debate Club: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/444334 This thread is very fun. A new debate topic is being figured out right now.

Phantom or Raoul: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/puddingsplace/node/446384 This is a secret identity game (there is info about them in the link the Admin gave you), where everyone's name is an arts based question that can spark debates and discussions.

Art Posting: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/puddingsplace/node/212426 This is a place where you can post any kind of artwork that you have done. It's very old, too, and it's fun to look at some of the older pieces of artwork posted by past CBers.

Castle Antony: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/puddingsplace/node/444867 This is a ski lodge, which is basically a murder mystery featuring CBers. You can read more about ski lodges in the Guide that the Admin gave you.

Forest Role Play: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/446255 This is one of the newest RPs, in which you can post a made up character and post pieces of the story yourself.

Well, I guess I've gone a bit overboard on the links, but I hope they are helpful. Of course, they are only a small sample of the wonderful threads that we have here, but they might be helpful to start you off.

Welcome to the Chatterbox, Cloudfire! I hope you enjoy your time here, and if you have any questions, you can refer to the Ultimate Guide, or ask me or another CBer.

Hi Cloudfire! Cool name! Here on the CB we do lots of stuff. Drawing, writing, chatting, playing games. What are some of your favorite hobbies?  There's probably a thread for it, and if not, you can start one! Anyway, see you around!

Welcome Cloudfire!  I love your name.  It's really pretty.  It reminds me of when the sun sets and the clouds turn almost red/orange.  I'm Peregrine, after the Peregrine Falcon.  I enjoy reading writing, playing violin, and spending time outdoors.  Read you around!

Welcome Cloudfire,

I like to read, swim, play basketball, play percussion, and piano.
