What you first
What you first did/thought when you joined the CB (READ THE WHOLE POST!!!)
Intro: When I joined the CB, I didn't make an intro thread, so I just started off with an RP. I found the Ultimate Guide, but it was kind of confusing when I first joined. When I first joined, I thought 'top' meant comment, and that everytime my posts 'dissapeared' (when they were first commented on) they were deleted. I also thought that clicking 'Submitted By' twice, once people told me about it, was supposed to show me all of my recent posts, so I never wanted to do anything under a different name in thought that it we show up as me and other people peering over my shoulder could see it. Now I know that it shows all of the posts in reverse order of when they were made. I joined May 22, 2016, just saying.
What you should do: In the comments, comment what you first did and thought when you joined the CB.
So, yeah. I hope that the intro didn't bore you! Gotta' go, so bye!

I joined years ago, so I am not 100% sure what the first thing I did was. I believe I made an intro post, because I tend to do that on other forums. As for what I thought, I thought for the longest time "Top" was a person who only said top. And RRs, RPs, and Single-writer stories really confused me at first, because everyone was posting under different names. Finally, Ski-lodges. I was so confused as to what a ski lodge was, and how it worked. Was it a role play that someone got bored of and ended up killing everyone? Was it a story? Was I to post, or was only the creator of the thread to post? What exactly was a ski lodge? Well, I figured that one out in time
.
By the way, awesome thread idea, Moonlight!

I never made an intro thread, but I joined on May 9th, 2015, and the first thread I ever posted on was PICKLE PROBLEMS and I think it was made by Luna or Lyra.

I sort of just showed up. A wayward wanderer from kyndom who stumbled upon he LTE when they were making picturings on it. And my first post was........well it was....OK it was ambarassing. In fact so ambarassing that I am copying it and am pasting it here to show yall how ambarassing it was.
Oooooooh.... This seems interesting. Can someone do me? PWEASE??????
This is my first post ever on inkwell. EVER!
Do they do owls on avatar makers?
One of the world's greatest mysteries.
Maybe an owltar maker.

Pancakes......

I stalked y'all for a week, and then joined like, 7 RP's which was way too much. Then I made an introduction thread on April 12 2016, which I decided would be my official CBerversary even though I'd been on a little longer than that. Wow, has it been 7 months already? Time flies. My sister, ClassyNat/Lavender, came on about a week or two after that. Also I thought top was a person.

*is shocked*
Bluebird, you came on after I did?? How strange-- i alway thought you were on on here for way longer. Like, a year or two. O.O
I joined on January 8, 2016, on S.E.'s Dragon RP: Which never even got a first post. My real-life friend Poetic Panda (thanks for that!) convinced me to try it. I, too, thought Top was a real person (like so many people) and went under the name Amber. I changed it to Clouded Leopard around my brithday (April 14) and have been that since.

Nope, April 12, 2016!

I first joined right when Crowd Sorcery started, but it had JUST started, so I couldn't participate and that was all I really came on for. I cried (not surprisingly) and considered never coming on again, but eventually I made a welcome post (very nervous and clueless) and... uh... here I am.
(November 15, 2016 - 1:59 pm)
I thought that Top was a person, but also some people said it and I thought it meant comment so I said I too.
Also, the day I joined I made my first post on BaB, which was a book review of Red Queen. Here it is: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/blababoutbooks/node/222352

I joined . . . sometime late in January 2015. (wow, my second CBversary's close! Time flies). It's either really funny or really embarassing to look back on what I did when I first came on. I didn't make an intro thread-- I went right to (duh), the BaB, and OH LOOK, IT'S A HARRY POTTER THREAD! So I poured my heart out into that-- apparently my heart has a lot of emojis-- and then I went ahead and made a post, about this manga that I still read, called Yotsuba&! (it's actually super cute, I recommend it.) Then I kind of vanished for a while, and came back, and-- oh my gosh, this person called Savvy44x actually responded to my comment! Wow. So I used my internet alias, started poking around some more, and here I am.
For the longest time I was really confused about the DtE and CaC because I couldn't figure out what they were for. I thought DtE was something for, like, chats about nature, and CaC was about the magazine, so I generally avoided those areas and stuck around the Inkwell and BaB. (Pudding's Place too, but not as much.) Eventually I figured it out, of course.
And, like everyone else, I thought Top was a person who went around looking for threads. I was pretty shocked when I found out they weren't, but a group!
Of course, I also didn't have a Guide to the CB to look at. But I would have read it for sure, and, eh, I figured it out eventually.

Yeah when I joined I just went on Inkwell and joined the first Harry Potter RP I saw. Which sadly was pretty much already dead it was on page 3. Anyway I joined on april 15 of this year and never made a intro thread.
(November 15, 2016 - 8:32 pm)
Hey, we joined three days apart! We should celebrate our CBerversaries together when they come.
(November 16, 2016 - 7:43 pm)
Okay, so I have something to confess. Anyways, anyone remember an Athena that joined in January? That was me. I was here on and off til about August, I think. I didn't really post on here that much, but I came on a lot. Then after like the beginning of August I just stopped posting, I kept glancing in though. Finally in September I decided to start over and come back as a new person and try to interact more. And here I am! :).
So anyways, I made an intro thread both times, as Nameless the first time(Mei helped me choose the name Athena:)) and Little Reader when I rejoined in September.

I saw some RP excerpts in the Cricket magazine, and was simply dying to do one. So I tried posting on RPs that were long dead on September 9th, but the Admins wouldn't let my posts on, because they though Coco and I were the same person!
So on September 28, I changed my name to Cho Chang, and joined half a billion RPs. :)

i joined Kyngdom first, I had looked at the CB before but it didn't seem like much fun. I was sooooo wrong in thinking that. My first charrie on Kyngdom was Spark skylord, a dragon, so when I started exploring the CB more, DRAGON became my name.
i thought top was a competition/game at first. Whoever said top first on a thread won.
i had no idea what AEs or CAPTCHAS were.
I didnt make an intro thread, so I never had a formal introduction to anyone.
I was a bit of an idiot at first.... XP
(November 16, 2016 - 7:32 pm)
The first thing I did?
My Kyngdom character sheet!
And then, on the Inkwell, I joined my first RP!
I did get mad sometimes because I played Kyngdom so much that people thought I was new. So I kind of.....sassed Joan about it. For welcoming me to the CB because she thought I was new (sorry, Joan!)
I had such a big temper back then!
