Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Get to Know

Get to Know Each Other Thread!

Hey everyone! So I got an idea where you can get to know other people on the CB! I thought it might be especially good for newer CBers, but older CBers are great too, and everyone in between. 

Here's how it will work. You'll fill out a simple form with questions on things you like/don't like. Then I'll try and make groups of 2-3, but the groups might end up a little bigger because I don't want anyone to be on their own. After you know who your group members are, take a look that their forms and see if you have much in common! Then tell your fellow group members that you're creating a thread where you can all chat together, or ask one of them to create the thread. You can even create a group name if you'd like and title your thread that name so everyone knows it's their group! 

 

I hope that made sense. 

Here's the form:

CBer Name:

Age:

Gender/pronouns:

About how long have you been on the CB?:

Favorite hobbies:

Favorite food:

Favorite book/book series:

Writing or Drawing? (If you don't like either or don't have a preference, you can say so!):  

Favorite color:
Are there any CBers on this thread you feel like you know well? (If you're one of the first few to sign up and can't come up with much of an answer, let me know later if you see anyone you know well)

Are there any CBers on this thread you feel like you don't know? (Same goes for this as written in the parentheses in the question above):

Anything else:

That's about it! Join by August 9th to be in this. Thanks guys! *hands out welcome churros*

Than you to everyone who has signed up! I've created groups. If you don't see your name in a group, please let me know! All groups have a color for a name so you know if you're in like the purple group or the red group or something. You can change the group name if you want to but make sure all group members agree on the name!

The Green Group will be Hollyshock and Feline Fantasy. 
The Purple Group will be Skip and Neverseen. 
The Violet Group will be Tealeaf and Sparkly Cat. 
The Indigo Group will be Luna-Starr and Silver Crystal. 
The Blue Group will be Emekittycon Kitten and Caroline.
The Red Group will be Kitty Cat and Red Starlight.
The Orange Group will be Pangolin, Lazerbat, and Sterling.  
If a group member doesn't respond in up to a week, please let me know. If you signed up and don't think you'll be able to commit to this, tell me and your group member(s)! I can figure something out. 
To get the conversation going, check out your group member's/members' charts and see if there's anything you have in common! Here are a few discussion questions you can use if you'd like:
What's your dream job?
How did you discover your favorite food, if you have one?
What's your dream vacation?
Favorite season?
Would you rather questions are also fun! Do whatever you want to have a fun conversation. I would reccomend making a separate thread for your group so that this one doesn't get too busy. If you're making a thread, make sure that nobody else if your group hasn't done so already, and make sure to alert the other people in your group that you're making a thread.

It looks like some people might have forgotten about this... you might need to tilte you threads something like @cber name here and then remind the person in your group why you've @ed them instead of titling the thread with the group name. Sorry everyone!

Hi Em! I'm glad to be your partner/group member. Do you want to make a name or should I just make a thread right now?
