Hello, Razzily Dazzily! I've seen some of your comments before! I'm Theo W, but I also post as Lexi.
Some things you may or may not know about... Vroomfondel. The Chatterbox.
Top and Poke, and most recently, Goop are three things Chatterboxers often times say to get their threads on the front page, or just get people to work on them. I found this confusing when I was first here for about... three months and I still do, even after it's been explained. Top means go to the top, poke means "HEY! I POKED YOU! GET WRITING!" and Goop means something in between. Okay, so I do understand, but still.
RR stands for Round Robin, meaning everyone writes from one character.
RP means something else, where everyone makes up their own character and writes from their persepective.
CB is an abbreviation for Chatterbox.
SI is Secret Identity where you pretend to be a character and people guess which CBer you are.
So, you may or may not know these things about (Vroomfondel) the Chatterbox, but I thought it couldn't hurt to inform you. I hope you like it here!

Hi Razzily Dazzily! I'm Blonde Heroines Rule, Percy Jackson fangirl, coffee extremist, and nutcase extrordinaire! Welcome to the Chatterbox, or CB, as us Chatteboxers, or Cbers, as we call ourselves and the Chatterbox.
Theo pretty much covered everything, but there's also a World Domination war being fought in Down to Earth, between Red's army, and Theo and mine (we still need a name), so your welcome to check that out!
But anyways, there's also;
This Month, where we talk about the latest issue of Cricket.
Chirp at Cricket (CaC) where we talk about Cricket related things.
Blab about Books (BaB) where we talk about books, authors, etc, and also where we have many of our SI and Tridentities (same as SIs, except you have three identites before people guess your real one).
Pudding's Place (PP) is where we talk about plays, tv shows, movies, and video games. Plus there's also a Kingdom Keeper RP going on there (which only Melody and I are part of).
Down to Earth (DtE) is where we talk about things going on in the world around us, or any day to day type things.
Oh, and there's the Captchas. Many of us have names them (Cappie, Spamdragon, etc.) and well say things like; "Cappie says this or that." and make up things the captchas might be saying from the letters.
And of course, Inkwell. This is where the writers comglomerate to talk about anything writing related, where BaB inks into a bit, and where most of our RPs, RR take place. You can post pieces of works you wrote to get feedback and ideas, or where you get advice on struggles in writing (ie writer's block, character problems, etc).
But anyway, I hope this covers everything (everyone else, feel free to add). But anyway, welcome Razzily Dazzily, and I hope you hang around awhile!
Cappie says rmhk. Rodents make horrible knights. Agreed, dear Cappie. Agreed.

@ Theo: Wait, you post as Lexi? Wow, even I learn somthing in this thread!
So, anyway, hi, Razzily Dazzily! I'm Lena and I'm thinking of a nickname for myself. I'm not very
popular, but I think other CBers have noticed my name when they see it. Unlike you, I did not put
up one of those 'I'm new' posts, and was kind of left confused about the ChatterBox for a while.
I am sooooooooooooo obsesed with Greek mythology and about 30 minuets ago, I found out that
The House of Hades is coming out on October 8
!!!! And, I just love the nickname you
made! It's so uniqe!

Hi! I'm Flaming Girl. I used to post as Annie, but that was a while ago. Welcome to the Chatterbox!
P.S. The code at the bottom is often called Spammy. Please disregard anything he says unless it looks like a real word.

Hi Razzily Dazzily! It's nice to see that the Chatterbox is booming with new people! I'm WritingWarrior, who used to post as CJ, and I've been here on hiatus and off for four years or so (since 2009/2010 I think). I love writing, hence my screen name, pizza, books, zines (handmade punk magazines), alternative rock, Latin, and a whole multitude of things. My fandoms include The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus, Divergent, Star Wars...I am also a proud Nerdfighter (fan of John and Hank Green).
I'll be happy to answer any questions you have, but I think this thread sums up a lot of terms pretty well: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/114220
As they say in John Green's hometown, DFTBA--Don't Forget to be Awesome!

Thanks guys! This clears up a lot of my questions. I'm originally from Belarus and I enjoy soccer, science, and screenplays.

I'm not sure if I should be welcoming you since I'm new myself, but welcome anyway!

Hello Razzily Dazzily!
I am Ashlee. I guess everyone told you all I know about the Chatterbox. But I don't think anyone told you that your posts will not show up until about a day. I am not sure you know that, but I thought I might tell you anyway. I hope you enjoy the Chatterbox!
(September 3, 2013 - 10:59 am)
Welcome Razzily Dazzily! I'm Teresa.
Actually, most of the time the comments will show up less than a day after you submit them. There are three admins who review the comments. It usually takes them a couple hours to post your comment after you post it. Last week, the comments took longer to appear because two admins were gone.

Hi Razzily Dazzily (very cool name, by the way!)
I think everyone else covered the ins and outs of the Chatterbox pretty well...we're all a bit crazy here! But It's really fun and I hope you enjoy hanging out!
I'm Everinne, part time Elf, Hiddlestoner (fan of Tom Hiddleston, the actor), Directioner (fan of One Direction, the singing group) and Tolkiener (fan of J.R.R. Tolkien, although I don't know if that's an actual term). I also love reading and writing epic fantasy and poetry, studying Norse Mythology, watching the Lord of the Rings films by Peter Jackson and listening to the song Let Her Go by the singer/songwriter Passenger.

Greetings, Razzily Dazzily!
I am Gollum, and I've been on the CB since May 2012. When not Chatterboxing, I'm generally reading, writing, reading, acting, reading, Nerdfighting, reading, playing various stringed instruments, reading and reading. Also reading.
To add to the dictionary, the abbrieviation for Inkwell is disputed. It's either written out or shortened to InkW or IW.
Welcome to the Chatterbox and I hope you enjoy it!
