Valentine's Day 2019 Stuff
Yeah. I'll be there, but I was wondering if maybe we should prep for this at all. (It's coming up quick ...) Maybe create a humongous questionaire? (B/C QUESTIONS Y'ALL)
I know that a lot of old CBers will be returning, and not all of us will know each other, though there will be old friends of course. ^^
And then do you think that we should make it a week long celebration, or just the 14th. Not all of us are in the states (Moi, Coco, and maybe Killim? Anybody remember her? Is she still here?), or may be in vastly different time zones, so I feel that there should be enough time for everybody to say hi and read and whatnot. (Though we likely would stick around for a minute anyways, but why not make it officialish?)
Should someone be designated to make the post, so that we don't have multiple threads? Or should we just hang the consequences, and visit all the threads?
So yea.
If there's a lot of people in favor of a questionaire, then I could add them all to this post as people send in suggestibles and whatnot. :)
Please send in all your advice!
My list of ideas thus far for questions to answer, all would be as you want to fill out, none would be required other than names. :)
Introduction, freelance
Description of how you think you would look on the CB
AE descriptions
Captcha descriptions
How 2018 went
How life in general has been
Favorite stuff
Skills
NaNoWriMo brags
etc. Again, further ideas would be loved on. :3
Extra Idea:
Maybe some kind of game played across the site? Maybe a scavenger hunt of some sort?
Or am I getting too excited too soon? XP
@Admins, your ideas are appreciated too, I know you guys have got a busy schedule too, so your reccommendations on how far all of this should go would be wonderful.
I'm getting excited, too, Cho! The reunion date was so far away and now it's so close. I think allowing a week is good. February 14 is on a Thursday, so you all should probably stick to that for the start, then keep checking in for a week or more after that. One thread where people answer items from your suggested questionnaire as they wish sounds like a good idea to me. I'm eager to learn what CB alums are doing these days, what they're studying or how they spend their days. Are you still in Japan? Others may have good ideas for additional threads. Many of you are much more creative than I am. I do think it's a good idea to give it some advance thought.

What's NaNoWriMo?
Also, Feb 14, which, as we all already know as St. Valentine's Day, is also my Dad's birthday!
Hey did ya know the Conversation Hearts Company isn't maufacturing hearts this year. That's sorta too bad. But I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE REUNION!!
National Novel-Writing Month. The original one was in November of some year. People who join set a goal to write a novel of so many words during the month. Why no conversation hearts this year? Or is another company making them? I guess I should go look in the stores.

Can I do a new Survey Time thread? I really enjoy making them and I'm pretty sure people like doing them.
(February 2, 2019 - 2:36 pm)
I think, and I'm not sure what other people would think, but I think that you should definitely do that!
(February 2, 2019 - 8:43 pm)
Hey, my mom's birthday is on February 14th too!
(February 2, 2019 - 4:23 pm)
Other companies are making conversation hearts, but one of them isn't ... I think they went out of business or something? I'm not super sure, but my mom read about it a week or two ago.

*waves* Hi Brook!
Wow, I'm so excited! I think we should make a notice thread for all thread hosts about the name and CB reunion title?... Maybe that's not nessesary.
But just to clarify, do you put the title (eg. Trivia Thread) at the top of the post, and CB reunion in the age box?
(February 3, 2019 - 2:13 am)
I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with the comments on here, so perhaps these were already suggested, but here are my thoughts:
~We should have a "Chat Station" on CaC where old and new CBers get to know each other and where we can just hang out and talk about life and catch up. One specific person should make this so that we don't have a million and one of them floating around.
~We should have a "Valentine's Day Guidelines" section, possibly here on DtE or maybe somewhere else. Basically just a place where we suggest people try not to make too many threads and (of course) keep it nice and simple for the admins so the CB doesn't get too crazy. We can add more to this too, just a few things to keep in mind.
~And perhaps the most important, we need to give a HUGE thank you to the Admins for doing all of this and making this possible. If it weren't for the Admins the CB wouldn't exist, so I suggest an "Admins Appreciation Thread" which I volunteer to make if y'all want me to.
Anyway, just throwing out a few ideas. Tell me what you think of them!
(February 3, 2019 - 11:05 am)
Coroline, as far as I know, that's what we were thinking.
Silverwaxwing, I believe the first item on the list (chat thread) was already on our list of threads; the second one seems like something people will observe anyway because we're all nice but it could be useful anyway; and as for the third, I think you should DEFINITELY make an Admin Appreciation thread.
(February 3, 2019 - 1:11 pm)
I think the CB Guidelines thread would be a good idea.

Hey guys! Wow...I feel like it's been so long since I've been on here, but looking back, it's only been a year and a half! I don't know if anyone remembers me, but...hey! I'm Jarvis, cellist and MARVEL nerd extraordinare. I can't recall exactly which year I joined the CB, but it was sometime after crowd sorcery ended (but the posts were still up). I remember going through all of the crowd sorcery threads and being so inspired to write stories about all the amazing characters people made :D.
@Cho: Hi Cho!! Glad to hear you're doing well. Wow- GMing four games of D&D?! How do you do it? I couldn't even imagine GMing one! I'm in my first-ever campaign right now with some of my friends irl, and it's been loads of fun.
@Leeli: Hey Leeli!! How's life?
@Will T: OMG, it's Will T! (that rhymed hehe) I don't know if we talked that much back when crowd sorcery was a thing, but it's cool to see you back! Also, your AE sounds amazing.
@Joan B. of Arc: Hi! It's also great to see you back. How's it going?
@The Riddler: Hello and welcome back! Yeah, high school's a struggle. I should probably be doing homework right now :S. Good luck on your book!
Wait- the 'last to post' thread is still up? XD That's actually amazing. Well, there's only one thing left to do. *dashes off to thread* *tips invisible hat* I'm winning :D
(February 6, 2019 - 11:00 pm)
Yo, Jarvis! How's life been? Lol, the number of games keep changing ... I keep trying to start more, it's dwindled down to three that might start, one group has considered themselves contented. For now. XP
What's your character like? (I've got too many extras hanging around ... I'm never going to be able to use them all!)
(February 7, 2019 - 6:19 am)
Hey! I noticed you wrote me down for the welcoming thread, which I can totally do but didn't necessarily sign up for lol. So what would I need to include in that? Let me know, thanks~!
