CBer Abbreviations!

What if we did four-letter abbreviations for each CBer's name so it is easy to type them out when a post is short on time? For example, I would be slpg, mashup would be mshp, hawkstar would be hkst, etc.  

It might be too much for Admins to keep track of, thinking the abbreviations are foreign words or code. I recommend you use recognizable names.

Great. My THIRD idea to add to the Chatterbox is down in the dust again.

Don't you go by Sine for short though?  We already use shortened versions of CB names sometimes and everyone seems to understand them, so fun idea but I don't think it's neccessary!

yeah i think we can pretty easily abbreviate without confusing the admins too much- i could be just fallen or even shorter just FL. i think this goes for most cbers.

and hey, polygot, you seem kinda upset that the admins aren't taking your suggestions. i mean, i understand that you are trying to do what you percieve to be helpful, and you are trying to be a noteworthy member of this community, but you don't need to make huge changes in the CB to be a valuable and useful member of this community. when i think of valuable members of the CB, i probably think of periwinkle first, and that's just because they're incredibly nice to people, and really creative, not because they changed the UI or anything like that. just, have a good time. relax. you don't have to prove yourself. this is just a place to have fun, you shouldn't be getting upset here.
