I'm not excactly

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I'm not excactly

I'm not excactly leaving. But, in light of recent events and not so recent events, I am going to post less often. With Everinne's absence, and other things, the CB just doesn't feel the same as it did a year and a half ago, not even a year ago. 

I have grown very close to a few of you other CBers, but there are a lot of people thet add a different flavor to the CB.

Posting in all caps, random outbursts, and not being as peaceful isn't a bad thing. It's just different, and that's not excactly the same, and I am the type of person that doesn't like the crazy randomness. I like crazy and randomness, but this doesn't feel like me.

I will still post a lot, but not as constantly. As Galadrial says, "The world is changing." I feel like I don't fit in as much, and I am growing farther and farther away from the CB every time I read a post that is so unlike the older CB.

I was contemplating leaving completely, but the CB has become such a big part of my life that I find I cannot go through a day without posting.

And where did the writing go? Just as Everinne said, this used to be a big writing community. It's alright that it isn't, but...

So, if you notce (though you probably wouldn't) that I don't post as often, it's fine. I'm just posting less often.

back to the Down to Earth

There is a group, CBIC, who's goal is to bring back the old CB. We would welcome your ideas. And S. E, I'll miss you.

I saw that. But, like I said before, if you make up a game as you go along, and then you have a lot of fun, you'll try to play it again. But you'll try to make it like iit was the first time and it feels like a thin, unsatysfying imitation, right?

I have looked at some of the older posts, and I see what you mean. We need to rally up a little group or something to make CB more peaceful. Do you mind if I help?

Dear S.E.,

It is sad the you find the need to spend less time with us, but I understand. I am glad you will at least come back sometimes because you have a wonderful effect on the chatterbox and I would truly miss you should you ever leave for good. Until you come again all that is left to say is,

Sincerely,

Juniper Mae

Oh dear, oh dear.
S.E, you have no idea what your leaving would do to me-us.
This chatterbox was once a garden, filled with calm big plants. As time passed by those plants were pulled up by their roots, leaving big holes behind them. Newer plants, with a different flavor, were planted. Their flavor wasn't bad, but we missed the old flavor. There were only a few of those old plants left though, not enough.
The garden had changed. You and Everinne were two of the old plants. Your uprooting would utterly ruin the garden. I know what you mean about the old game being played again, but that is not what the CBIC is doing. We are not trying to replant the garden. That isn't possible, not without the old plants. So, instead, we are going to make the new plants peaceful, which will also make the garden peaceful as well.
Do you see? You are very important here, and I am quite sure this idea will work if we all participate. In fact, it is already working. Winter Firefly created a thread to keep alter egos contained, and Young Writer brought back surveys. If you decide to leave still, then please remember that I will always miss you.

I think that what S.E. is doing is great. Nobody here should feel like they're expected to post all the time - we're allowed to take a break once in a while. S.E., it takes a really strong person to recognize what's best for themselves, even when others might be disappointed when you do. Of course we all wish you could post 24/7 - why wouldn't we? We love your posts! But I definitely understand what it's like to feel pressured, and it's not a good feeling. Don't worry about it. Just focus on keeping yourself happy. =)
