Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

Admins Question Thread
Pretty self-explanatory, for when you have a question for the Admins.
I was looking through the Ultimate Guide to the CB, and it says people ask the admins questions "frequently related to blue moon ice cream."
What does that mean?
One of the older admins told a story about Blue Moon ice cream a while back and it became something of a meme: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/441247. --admin

@Admin, I saw that Cricket Media used to publish a literary magazine for teenagers, called Cicada, but it seems to be out of print now :( Do you happen to know if there's any chance that Cricket Media will start publishing it again?
It's not in any future plans right now, but who knows what may come in the future?

@Admins-
Do you think there will ever be an update to the website anytime soon? I was thinking that perhaps Chatterbox might attract more CBers if the graphics and whatnot were updated.
Also, do you know anything about the mysterious Sybill from Kyngdom who seems to be featured at least once in every singe Cricket Letterbox?
We don't have any plans to update the site soon, although we'll probably put out a general notice if that changes. Sybill wrote a great deal for Kyngdom (as you might read yourself!) and so she often came up when we pick comments from the Chatterbox to feature (fun-ish fact, the letters/messages in the Letterbox are always from a few months ago since we send the magazines to the printer a month or two before they arrive in your mailbox). --admin

Oh good! I love the graphics of the CB as they are right now. I really don't want them to change! :)
Iffy says "oabug"!! Where, Iffy, where?
(February 9, 2023 - 8:12 pm)
Heh heh, Iffy probably means me, or one of the various bugs who hangs out around me.
Also, I know the admins just said they aren't planning an update, but if there would ever be an update to make, it would be this:
I have a friend with dyslexia, who would like to join chatterbox. Thier dyslexia doesn't seem like too big of a problem for their participation in chatterbox, but kindly consider how the CAPTCHAs work. They have a hard enough time reading normal text, but they just can't read the CAPTCHA. They need somebody else to read it for them, and somebody else isn't always availible. Is it possible that an alternate version of CAPTCHA could be made availible sometime in the (hopefully near) future?

hey @admins, I was thinking that perhaps there could be a search bar at the top of CB sections to find threads easier? just a thought :)
That's a great suggestion, but I'm sorry to say that it's not likely to happen anytime soon because we're a small, very busy staff. You can do a general online search by typing into a search box:
site:cricketmagkids.com followed by the text you want to find. Be sure to leave one space after the .com

@Admins:
What do you think of the Zoodles?
I've never eaten them, but I have had zucchini I like in other forms. So I think Zoodles are fine.

@admins, which side do you support in the Zoodle war?
I'm in favor of peace. I won't take sides. But I do like zuchinni. In fact, I just had some sauteed in a stiry-fry for supper this evening.

@Admins - Is everything alright on your end? 'Cause comments that we posted in the very early morning still aren't up yet. Or are you all just busy today?
Wifi trouble :( Things are back on track now thankfully. --admin
(February 22, 2023 - 2:17 pm)
Just wondering, were you ever a CBer?
None of us were CBers in the sense that you are, but at least one of us has been part of the CB since its very beginning and another got Cricket as a kid. -admin

I posted a ski lodge the other day, and when I was looking for it to check on it, it was not there...?
I am not sure what happened, should I make a new thread!
Sorry for the confusion!
Look on a back thread. Sometimes a first reply sends a thread to the back. Then a second reply will bring it to the top again.

@Admin how long is the send-a-letter-to-cricket-from-the-older-readers thing going to go on? Because my dad is going to send one in. He's an older reader. I even have an old issue that he got from his school library! It was the one that kinda focused on sri lanka and coconuts, and where the bugs discovered someone had turned into a cocoon.
Jibbers says utagn. Who's Oot? I must meet this Oot!
We'll be happy to hear from him anytime, but we're planning to begin printing Cricket "alum" letters in the September issue. Letters for that issue will be selected in the first few weeks of April. (That's how far ahead we work.) We look forward to hearing from you dad!

Admins, how do you join Kyngdom? I'm new and not completely sure what it is.
Yumiko says ~edume~. You want edamame, Yumiko? I don't have any.
Kyngdom has not been active recently. On the Kyngdom home page, go to the bottom of the list and click on RP Board. I think that's where the most recent comments have gone. Then explore the list of roleplays and see if there's one you'd like to join. Maybe some other Chatterboxers can give you some tips, too. Admin
