Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Admin Appreciation!
Admin Appreciation!
Has an Admin ever done something that you appreciate? Do you feel safer when the Admins are making sure no one says anything inappropriate?
Tell all of your stories here! If you don't have one, why not just say thank you?
So, I'll share my stories:
1. Once, a post that I made glitched when I tried to copy something in from Word, even though I deleted it. There were a bunch of letters and numbers in between my paragraphs. I asked the Admins to fix it, and a little while later... It's fixed!
2. Once, I posted on an RP, but I realized that I had to quit. I asked the Admins to deleted the post, and a little while later is was gone! Just like that.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Admins, for all that you do!
I'm thankful to the Admins for... I don't know. Um, letting Natalie create me?
P.S. Pavlavla says 'ixhc.' Bless you! Do you have a cold? I hope not. I don't want to get sick!
You are certainly welcome! ~Admin

I posted this poem earlier this year! Here it is again!
A Poem for the Admins
Admin, I just want to say
I wrote this for you guys today.
You aren't really appreciated enough
But administrating, it must be tough.
Admin, you take pain and sweat,
To make our experience the best we can get.
It's because of you that we can chat and talk
It's because of you that we have the Chatterbox.
The joy, the laughter, the fun, the glee,
Admin, your work means a lot to me.

When I made my first ever post on the CB, it was on Kyngdom. And I went to the contact page because it didn't come up for a really long time. I bugged the admins a lot, like emailed them every day that my post wasn't up. XD I thought it was deleted. It was a really long post too. But later on, I found it in one of the back pages! Thank you for all you do, Admins! I really appreciate it!
You're welcome, Leeli. We appreciate all of you, too!

This is a wonderful idea, Natalie! :D
I am grateful to the Admins because once I entered a comment that, though it didn't seem offensive to me at the time, was. The Admins didn't publish it, and I realized how hard they work to keep this site friendly at all times. I also resolved to be more careful of what I say from then on-- to consider that what may not be considered offensive to ME may very well hurt someone else. I am very, very thankful.
I am also grateful because this is the most successful site I have ever seen that was made for youth's inteactive purposes. The folk who run this Chatterbox could have made it easier for themselves. They could have simply set it up so that certain words could not be entered (which never works, people always get around it, and it gets to the point that practically every word in the English language is banned) or just published a comment asking that everyone be civil (which also never works) or left the commenting cycle alone and hoped for the best (which results in complete disaster). The fact that there are real, live, intelligent, conscientious adults reviewing every comment and giving advice and watching over it all so well that we sometimes don't even realize it-- that is what makes this site the one place where young people can go to write and chat and debate and think in perfect freedom, and yet perfect safety. Admins, I salute you. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words.

Thank you guys so much for everything you do for the CB! Without you, the CB wouldn't be in exsistence, and this wonderful, whimisical safe haven wouldn't exist.
Oh, and by the way, Admins, Wednesday, April 27 is
Administrative Professionals' Day 2016 !!!! Next year, I'll definately post it!
Queen L says thnr! I think that means thank you!
Oh, before I forget:

Absolutely Amazing
Demontrating correct behaviour and spelling (hint hint: Longet Thread Ever ;)
Making sure everything on the CB is okay
Infinitely patient
Never slacking
So wonderful and essential to the order and peace of the CB
Thank you for all you do, Admins! I appreciate you probably more than you know (not definitely, you are very wise). You still manage to keep the CB up and running despite your small staff. If this was an instant-post chat site, it would be in chaos and flames; but you, the Admins, keep it under control. Again, thank you!
You're welcome!

Thank you, for everything you do!
No, really. This wonderful website would not be the same if it were not for you Admins. You deserve all the blue moon ice cream and thanks in the world.
Sloth says dark. No, it's not dark yet, you silly!
Thank you, but I've been off blue moon ice cream ever since it caused me to break my wrist (in October 2014). My favorite now is capuccino gelato.
Admin

Oh no! Then you deserve all the capuccinio gelato in the world that won't break your wrist.
Here ya go!!
Unfortunately, the art isn't showing, BUT I may go to the store later today and get a quart of it to bring home. I promise not to eat it all at once!

I'm gonna be gone for a week </3
I wanted to share an 'Admin Moment' with you guys....
When I first got here I was a lil' confused-HOW IN THE WORLD do you sign up and get an account on Kyngdom? And WHY don't my posts automatically show up?
The admins, without even knowing it, helped me. I looked all over and I found a comment with someone who was confused too! And the Admins had explained to them-so I read the Admin's reply and jumped for literal joy!!
*Trips over digital gift box* Um, guys, you don't just leave digital gift boxes on the floor where everyone can trip over them. Oh, look at those colorful streamers....
Hi Admins! My name is Chilly, and I'm an AE-CAPTCHA crossbreed that doesn't really exist!
Aww, Chilly, how nice of you (or me to make you) to say Hi to the Admins!
You guys also helped (again, without knowing it) Icy to figure out what a CAPTCHA was, and then poof! She created me!
Aww guys, I have to go camping now. *leaves digital Admin party*
Thank you, and happy camping, Icy!

Have fun! (And make sure to eat it all at once) JK!
(May 29, 2016 - 6:44 pm)
Yess!!! I'm very thankful for the Admins because without them CB would probably stink!
THANK YOU ADMINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(May 29, 2016 - 5:02 pm)
You are just amazing, Admins. You are somehow able to do your normal editorial or office duties (or whatever it is you do when you don't monitor the CB) while still being able to take the time to read EVERY SINGLE POST that gets passed through the CB. You comment on our threads sometimes, which always makes the person who posted the thread happy that you people care so much. I think that you probably care about every thread on here, every CBer, everything to grace this wonderful website. You make it possible for people like me (bookworms and nerds and fangirl/boys and writers) to find a haven on the Internet: Where everyone cares, and everyone loves each other (figuratively) and everything is kept at a reasonable level of sanity and aproprietness. (I'm sure that was spelled incorrectly--another thing that Admins help us with!)
I am very grateful that you put in time and effort to this website.

Thanks, Rainbow. Actually there are two of us who review comments during different hours, so we have time to do our other work. Plus one or more others who can help out during vacation or busy times.

Can I use Pixabay on here? Pixabay is a website where you can get free, non-copywrited pictures that don't result in plagiarism.
If so...
Admins, you work so hard for us, and CB is a great (and not innapropriate/scary/crazy) website because of you. Thank you so much!
I'll ask about Pixabay. We'll need to check it out.
