Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Suggestion Box

Suggestion Box

Hey, kids,
The Cricket Web site has been up for several months now, and everybuggy would like to know what you think about it. What do you like best about the site? Do you have any suggestions for making it better? How do you think the Web site rates on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best)? Do you like the different areas of the Chatterbox? How do you think the Chatterbox rates compared to the Letterbox printed in the magazine? Do you like the online contests and Cricket Readers Recommend? Do you think kids new to Cricket would like the Web site?

Thanks for your ideas!

Love,
Everybuggy

I give it a 9.3 for the website itself, 2 for meeting SCORPION 45,and 4 for down to earth.

I think I would give you maybe a nine. I don't know if its you or my computer,but sometimes I can't open threads and just recently I couldn't add my own thread it said my math problem was wrong when I new it was right. But other than that ,IT'S GREAT!!! I think its better than the Lettorbox because your replay gets out faster and its just great!!:):):) I agree with Paige anyone could like this! And I think the online contests are AWESOME!!!8)8)8)

Oh, I also have a question. Why don't you want links to other websites?

Um, I think that question has already been answered. And I thought of something, maybe a solution to the long pages problem: what if the list of replies to a comment on a thread was collapsed, and you could open it up and close it again? That way people whose computers have trouble loading long pages can open one at a time.

Oh,I also have a sugestion. Could you put in something so that if you wanted only sertin people could see it. Like say I only wanted Paige or Emily to see it I would type there name into a little space and then only one or both of them could see it. But it might be kind of confusing.SmileLaughingSurprisedWinkCoolCryEmbarassedFoot in mouthFrownInnocentKissMoney mouthSealedTongue outUndecidedYell

Hi Cricket and everybuggy!! Here is what I have to say about your awesome website!   #1 The thing that I like best about this website is definitely the chatterbox! (I also like the online contests) #2 A suggestion: a different area in the chatterbox would be really cool! Maybe a place where you could draw pictures on the computer then use them instead of a comments on chatterbox or a place where you could put photos that you have taken so that other people could see them too. #3 On scale of 1 to 10, definitely 10!!!! #4 I really like the different areas of the chatterbox! (down to earth and chirp at cricket are the best) #5 I like the chatterbox better then the letterbox because you can have conversations but the letterbox is still really cool! #6 I like the online contests a lot! #7 Yes, I think that kids new to cricket would like chatterbox!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Chatterbox is the best part of this site! :) For making it better, maybe just some new subjects in Chatterbox. I would rate it a 9, because sometimes the threads won't load. I really like the different areas of the Chatterbox! I like both the Chatterbox and the Letterbox. I haven't entered any online contests, but they look like fun!. I really like Cricket Readers Recommend! People who are new to Cricket would love this website!! :)

Dear Everybuggy (and editors),

Cricket is by far my favorite magazine, and I was glad to see what a great website you guys made.  I love the Chatterbox and everything about it. For the website, I'd rate it at about a 9.5. Unfortunately, I was deeply saddened when you took away three whole issues. I totally understand that it makes the process simpler to have all mags at the same price and issues, but couldn't you upgrade rather than downgrade? I mean, make all of them 12 issues? I really don't mind paying more and would even pay $40 -$50! Also, the way you presented it made it seem like you were replacing those Crickets with the website. Please do not be offended. I have edited this post many times trying to make it positive. Cricket magazine is one of the best friends I have and I would hate to hurt the feelings of anyone there. 

Love,

Willa C.

P.S. I do have one comment about making the site better. Maybe you could put everyone in the "meet everybuggy" section, not just those who appear most. Thanks!
