Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

ASK ADMIN AGAIN

ASK ADMIN AGAIN THREAD!!!!

The latest Ask Admin Thread. Its purpose is obvious. Ask Admins away!!! 

So Admin, I was wondering to what extent can we talk about romance? Because I really need a little help in that area... but I won't go into details quite yet.

 

Not much, Joe. Sorry.

Admin, before when I attempted to start an SI where we pretend to be other Chatterboxers, you said no, as it could offend people who don't take imitation as a message that says, "I think you're awesome!!!". So, could it be okay if I start a thread where people can give permission to be impersonated in such an SI?

And in answer to the Admin's question to Daffodil, yes, it has snowed the past week or so, down here in Philadelphia. But the snow is now melting, though I don't know if it will possibly snow again.

 

We think that sounds too complicated for our small busy staff to keep track of who gave permission, etc. When comments come in, we don't even know what thread they are going to. Sorry.

Admin, it's snowed about 6 inches here! I went sleigh riding down my driveway which was great! :D

 

Have fun! Snow on a weekend is good.

Thanks! It turned out to snow almost a foot over night up at my vacation house, but down here at my regular house it snowed maybe 4 inches. Big difference XD Anyone else with lots of snow? (or at least snow?)

 

Several inches here in Illinois.

Why is it that people can make posts about MURDER, but romance is off-limits?

 

Each post is evaluated individually. The fantasy murder mystery is actually often funny. I wouldn't say all romance is off limits.

I try really, really hard to keep the murder mystery very clean. I don't describe any death in any kind of great detail and the majority of the deaths are designed to be amusing. The thread really isn't about murder. It's about being silly and having fun together. If you've never joined one, I would suggest you just try it out and see if you like it.

@ T.O.N.: And you definitely succeed. I've never had any qualms about anything you've written, and it's just absolutely full of hilarity!

So if anyone was ever worried, the murder mystery is totally clean. My mom doesn't let me read a whole lot of murder or gore, so when I say it's not graphic, it isn't. It's just fun!

@Admins

I don't know if it is just my computer, but when I open S.E.'s GUESS WHAT? SCHOOL... thread on Down to Earth, I can only read part of what S.E. wrote. I also can't see Melody's comment.  

Admin: Is this an old thread? I don't see it on the first few pages. Link?

No it's fairly new. Here's the link  http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/126625

 

I passed your comment on to our webmaster, who now says it's fixed! Thanks for letting us know.

Oh, I can also not add a comment on the thread because there is no spot for me to press that allows me to do that.

@Teresa

You need to scroll a lot, but it is there.  I don't know why it is, but the original thread is really long.

I don't try to make a habit of asking this kind of question, but...Admins, do you know what happened to the Paramore thread I posted a few days ago?

 

I think I remember posting it. Look on the back pages if you can't find it on the front. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Admins,

How many clubs do you allow each CBer to start? When will the next live chat be? I missed the last one. Do you admins join in on the live chats? 

 

You can start as many threads as you like. We don't keep track of them. I'm not sure about the next live chat. We've only done two, and both times there weren't a whole lot of people who participated. It's hard to find a time that's good for everyone--and it's hard for we Admins to specify in advance exactly when we'll be online. Such is the nature of publishing. ASAP work can pop up anytime.

Admins, I think on Pudding's Place there was a thread about the Evillious Chronicles that's not there now, no matter how I look for it. Was this thread removed or did it not exist in the first place?

 

We decided that it's inappropriate for this site, so we deleted it. Sorry.
