Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

OK, I was

OK, I was just looking through the older pages of This Month looking for my @Floof Industries thread, and I saw so many posts towards the buggies and Cricket magazine in general, actually talking about the last month's issues. It seems that now we talk about other things on this month such as lists of sodas and congrats to people whose comments got into the Letterbox. There's nothing wrong with that, but has anyone considered that lists of sodas probably belong in DtE, not This Month? And has anyone considered that the actual purpose of the This Month is to discuss the latest issue? I feel as if not enough people actually talk about Cricket magazine on the Chatterbox, even though it's the very reason we're here! I hope this doesn't sound whiny or anything. I'm just pointing it out: THIS IS A CRICKET THINGYMABOBBER AND WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THE MAGAZINE MORE.

back to the In This Month's Issue

Yeah, I have noticed that myself. I do have a few comments:

a) It isn't actually a thread about sodas, but rather a discussion thread for a scavenger hunt that kind of died.

b) The congratulations threads ARE about this month's issue.

c) No one actually uses This Month anymore, so people are using it for planning ski lodges and such.

d) Not everyone on the CB actually gets Cricket magazine.

e) There have been threads about the magazine. There's the one about In Search Of... and a while back there was a discussion of our favorite covers.

f) There isn't necessarily all that much stuff to discuss about the magazines...

I think you're right, seeing as the Chatterbox comes from Cricket magazine. But as Kitten said, not that many people have things to say about the month's issue. Maybe we can bring back This Month. 

(But I don't actually get Cricket anymore, and neither do quite a few other CBers) (so that might be part of the reason it doesn't get used much)
