Admin Q&A
So, I was thinking about this yesterday, and I was like, whoa, that sounds cool, so here it is!
Questions for the Admins!
I'm pretty sure someone has already thought this up, and if someone already did, I guess they're just as curious as I am. ^^
So, another thing I was thinking, was that if a CBer posts a question for an Admin, Admins don't have to answer if the question is too personal, or then I guess that means they don't show the post at all, or they can answer the question in a sort of sly way. Admins, do what you want because these questions are for you. xD
Alright so first question!
Admins,
Do you have a separate job than being an Admin on Chatterbox, or on Cricketmagkids? For example: Admin on Saturdays, waitress at a restuarant all the rest of the week.
Admin: We all work on the editorial staff for Cricket magazine, and some of us work for Spider, Muse, and Cicada, too!

Hmm.....
Why is the sky blue? BOOM!! You said anything.......... All right I have a better one. How many Admins are there?? Just wondering......
There are three of us. Two do most of the posting of comments, and the third is backup if the others are on vacation or sick, etc.

Oh, I have a question for the Admins!
Okay, this is going to sound really weird, but do you guys ever talk about us in real life? As in, have you ever said, "Yeah, Nora the Singer made this new thread today"? Or...something like that? Again, sorry if it sounds weird, but I've always wondered about it.
Nora, we might call each other's attention to something remarkabe someone has written or said in a comment. And we discuss some questionable comments in advance of posting, editing, or deleting them.

I've always wondered if you (our three Admins) have ever been tempted to post something on Cricket Chatterbox as one of us? It would be really easy, especially since we all have pseudonyms anyway... Sorry! Just a thought.

I have Q for you Admin. Is it possible that you could add a sheet that you make a name and password, because I have been impersonated. Thanks.

And it could have been an accident, Blue. I mean, who knows? Many people like the color blue and they were like," Hey, I like the color blue. I'm going to put that as my name." Just saying.

Admins, I've always wondered--can you guys see if someone posts under different names? Like, in SI's and for people like The Ominus, would you know if they were also someone else on the CB?
No, we have no idea. We don't see email addresses that send comments or any ID beyond what is posted. That's why alter egos are confusing to us, too.

I guess this is kind of a suggestion, but could you (Admins) think about making another space (like Inkwell is a space) for games/clubs/quizzes? There are getting to be a lot now, and I think it would be good if we could have a separate space for them.
I'll pass the request on to our webmaster.

Do you all work on one office or do you work on separate ones? If you work in separate ones, have you actually seen one another in person? And do you guys like cinnamon rolls?
We work in separate offices but we do meet occasionally. And we LOVE cinnamon rolls!

Admins, Maple Syrup created a thread a couple of days ago that I think she may have been trying to get my attention with or someone else on Chatterbox. Do you know what happened to it?
No, I don't, Will. Sorry. Try looking on the back pages.

Sorry, never mind admins! I found it!
Good!

Okay! My first question is: What do you do during the night? Is there a night crew of Admins or something?
And my second question is: Does Spider have a Chatterbox-like thing? I know Muse and Cicada do.
One of us usually posts comments sometime in the evening when we can, though sometimes other activities take precedence and comments may have to wait awhile. But no one stays up all night to post comments.
You can send letters to spider at spidermagkids.com and others can submit reply comments to specific letters.

Yeah. In my Western time the traffic slows down at about 8 and stops about 10. Also, I decided to get silly with my name/age/location on this post.
