Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Who came up with:

~Topping

~SIs

~CBer Picturing 

~The term "Charrie"

And other things like that...

And how did they become universally recognized?

Think about it. When I was really, really new, hadn't posted yet and was just scanning the boards, I was confused about what top meant, but then I figured it out. And everybuggy figures it out at some point. And everybuggy knows that that is how you get a thread to stay alive (Well, technically speaking, you could postr anything to help top it, but...).

All these little things that we do or say on the CB, funny little terms or games unique to the CB, unless you joined five minutes ago, you'll probably know what they mean.

So, who made them up?

That's what I'd like to know.
