Any CBer could
Any CBer could live in your neighborhood and you would never know. You could see someone on the street, unaware fo the fact that you complemented their artwork on the CB. I know this is common sense, but it's hard to fathom anyway.

I had almost the exact same idea! We've just got to do something to be able to meet in person. :)

We could make pins that say "CB Pride!" or "CBers Forever!" or something like that. Wear it on a backpack, hats, shirts or whatever! It's a sign to other CBers, and a symbol to be proud of this amazing site!

I made a shirt a while ago in tech that had my username on it! I'm not very proud of it and haven't worn it yet, but it's still something cool :] not to mention how I sign almost everything with "Writing" :p

How about shirts that say "A proud CBer" then our CB name? That would be cool.

It's highly doubtful any of you would recognize me IRL no matter what I tell you... sad. And I don't think any CBers live in the corn-infested area of the Midwest either, you all seem to be either east or west coast. Also sad.

I think I would most likely recognize you IRL, but I have a very low chance of ever meeting you because I do in fact live on the east coast.

I, like Darkling, live in the corn-infested Midwest.
as for recognizing me, it would actually be rather easy as IRL me, like CB me, has the classic black hair with a bright green 'rebellious streak'. also green eyes, and normally wearing dark colors. I'm also slightly socially awkward, and can be seen standing around while other people to fun stuff.

for a while I thought you were my friend who lives in New York, but I guess not. TAT

oh, this thread's back :D
The t-shirt thing is a good idea, but it's not something you can wear 24/7, unless you like...don't change your shirts often. Maybe we could do friendship bracelets in the CB colors or with our CB names or something?
Or we could do a code word. I think there was talk of a code word being "chirp chirp cricket", or something? But I don't know how well that would work -- it needs to be something that could come up in conversation without you seeming weird if the person is not a CBer, but that people don't normally say -- like some sort of CB inside joke, or something. I don't know.

Oh, maybe, we could like sorta mention one of the bigger threads? Like ones that everyone knows, like Random thoughts/things, or Last to Post, or something. The first one seems fairly easy to slip into conversation (ex: "oh, I just have lots of random thoughts and things..."), but isn't super out of the ordinary.
But tomorrow I'm gonna write "@Rainbow" on my hand (with a rainbow or an eye or a rose, b/c why not) and see if anyone gets it. I mean, I do have dance tomorrow... maybe someone there will be a CBer. Oh scud what if my crush is a CBer...
(May 29, 2023 - 6:52 pm)
oh, that's a good idea!! I think we could make just about any reference to the CB, and if the person we say it to is a CBer, then they'd get it? I don't know.
Unrelated, but are there any other CBers that live in NYC?
(May 30, 2023 - 6:33 pm)
Any CBers in the SoCal region between Los Angeles and San Diego?

Now ten-minute posting? The Admin's magic. Are you on turbo or something admins?
(May 30, 2023 - 7:13 pm)
there's probably been talk of something like this before, but maybe we could all agree on a time and place, and then sometime when we're all grown up and have our own cars and such, all meet up then and there.
(lol I probably described this idea badly, lets see if anyone understands what I mean)
