Hello dawgs and
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Hello dawgs and
Hello dawgs and dawgettes!
Probably none of you remember me (which is cool) but I was pretty active on here about... Three years ago? Yeah, three years.
Wow.
Anyway, I was in a weird nostalgic/sentimental mood, (not actually weird for me. pretty common) and I started thinking about this place. And I'm not gonna be active on here again because I'm 16, so that might be weird hehehe, but I really just wanted to say some stuff and then peace out for real, since I just basically forgot this website existed for three years.
So first, a huge thank you to everyone who was on here when I was, because they all really helped me figure myself out back when I was all weird and angsty, and dealing with whether I was Pan or not ( I totally am. I'm Pan to the max dude) and whether I was Nonbinary (... did not figure that out, but it's cool. Humans are incredibly multifaceted beings and most days I am okay just being me) I seriously, seriously could not have done that by myself and you were all so, so awesome. Also, giant thanks to anyone who suffered through my writing at the time. I was not a great writer, and so many people encouraged me anyway. That said, please don't dig up any of my work. It was baaad. But that isn't the point, because you encouraged me and I'm still not great, but I'm better, and That's all I could ask for. I wrote this exceptionally stupid and bizarre graphic novel (stupid and bizarre is my aesthetic hehehe) and they're okay, as in I can read them and not cringe.
Anyway, what I really wanted to make clear is how amazingly lucky you guys are to have such a unique and supportive little community where you can grow as artists, and interact like the little dorks everyone should be allowed to be without being judged by anyone. It's an amazing gift, and you are amazing people who can only get better.
And I have subjected you to enough rambling, so... Bye!

Aah Lord Entropy hi!! Of course I remember you!! You were kind of iconic, if I recall correctly. :D
I completely agree with everything you said about the CB -- it was crucial in helping me figuring out my identity, and it definitely helped me grow, both as a person and a writer. The community here is so supportive and I'm so grateful to be a part of it.
It's so good to hear from you again! Remember the Valentine's Day CB Reunion! :)

Lord Entropy!! Of course I remember you! It's so nice to read you again, it's been so long. I agree, the CB is such a wonderful place and I’m also so grateful that it exists. It's not weird to be 16 on here- at least, I'm 16 and no one's kicked me out yet, so if you want to pop in here and there no one will think it's strange. Either way, it was great to hear from you and hopefully I'll see you at a reunion! (Also, I recall really liking your writing at the time, it was incredibly unique and creative!)

Okay, sweet.
I just kind of figured it was mainly for younger-ish teens to be honest. But cool, I will visit occasionally :) (I don't get the magazine anymore and so it kinda feels like cheating.
And thanks for the kind words about my writing. There's always this little voice in my head that needles me about all the stuff I did when I was younger was awful, and reading anything I wrote from more than two years ago makes it scream like a foghorn. Bluuuhhh. Basically what I'm saying is thanks, but I'm not at a place where I can chandle that stuff yet.
Wow I kinda got off topic, but what I am trying to communicate is you are awesome and thank you

Lord Entropy!! *tackle hugs* (do people still do tackle hugs in asterisks here?) I remember you! I thought you were such an interesting and creative person. That's so cool that you wrote a graphic novel! It took me all of last school year to make a 6-page comic. I'm not technically on the CB anymore, but I still stalk around pretty often. Anyway, good to read you! (like, instead of to "see you", cuz it's through words...yeah.)

Well, I'm not a good artist, and I was taking art class, and y'know every project took weeks, so I figured that I should do something for myself, quickly, bad art style.
And even then, it still took five months to draw, so....

Heyo! I'm Hawkstar, and I have been here since last Sept. It feels like a long time ago, but when compared to you, I feel like I've been on here for a few days XD I hope to see you around!
Don't leave just because you are now 16! I'm planning on leaving when I'm 18 actually hehe... or maybe that is too old... maybe I should leave sooner than that... Ah well, that is years away. anyway. Hi! nice to meet ya!

Lord Entropy, hello! I don't know if we've ever crossed paths, but I've definitely read you around (I used to be Wolfy_Walker_7). Aaaah you're so right, this is probably the best place on the internet and this community is really special. As others have mentioned, it's totally not weird/uncommon to see older teenagers on the CB (though the user base does seem to be shifting younger these days). You were someone I looked up to way back when, and it's so nice to hear from you. "See" ya at the reunion!
(July 11, 2023 - 7:44 pm)
AAAH so many nice things being said!
Yes, I will stick around,now that I know it wouldn't be weird or anything. And I'm not certain we ever interacted, but the name/handle is familiar to me!

Hello, Lord Entropy! I don't think we've talked to each other before even though we've both been active on the CB for the same time period(three years ago, or was it four? I can't be sure), I think I might have dropped off back then and somewhat... 'bumped shoulders' with you as I phased out. I'm back on now though, and I look forwards to seeing you around!
