1. Since July 12, 2021.

2. I get Cricket magazine and I, at first, was puzzled how people could know what people are sending into the letterbox. I realized that they didn't write to Cricket through email or snail mail, but through Chatterbox. I decided I'd like to check that out sometime, so I looked at the latest issue, in the Letterbox section, and saw the link to Chatterbox. I liked the environment, so I decided to check back daily.

3. The first thread I made? I think that was "Anyone want to", which got 2 comments from other CBERs.

4. N/A

5. 0

6. What is an RP? I know how many threads I've created--about 6, I think. For Solo Writes and Ski lodges, the answer is 0.

7. Down To Earth. It's where I met @Sparkly Cat and @Lightning Girl.

8. CB census 2021!

9. CB census 2021!

10. I haven't been here for a long time so I haven't gotten the chance to meet many people.

11. n/a

12. n/a

13. Sparkly Cat

1: I've been on the CB since...erm...April 5ish (sometime around there), 2021.

2: I was kinda bored out of my mind on Easter break and found the link to the CB in the Cricket mag. I figured I should try it out and, well, here I am now! 

3: I'm not actually sure about that one...I am pretty sure it was the Three Word Story thread (the name might be slightly different) I did not get the hint to make an introduction thread, so, yeah, I never had one of those. 

4: My first AE was-

Me! Glimmer! 

Glimmer. Yes, as you can see, it is Glimmer. 

5: I only have one AE, and that is 

Me again! Glimmer! 

Yep. It's Glimmer.  

6: ------------------------------ 

7: Down to Earth for sure, though Chirp at Cricket and Inkwell are probably my second and third favorites. 

8: Funny things your friends have said I believe is what it was called. That thread was hilarious! I think we should revive/revamp it. It is what inspired me to keep a qoute book! 

9: Random Thoughts/Things. I went back and read through pretty much the entire history of that thread over a couple of days.

10: I think I would have to say Lord Entropy - though they said they might come back so, who knows! Maybe they will in a few months.  

11: Mx. Sam C.'s Ski Lodge (Luna-Starr is writing it I believe). It is such a fun read! I haven't gone back through many Ski Lodges, but I am planning to check out Hotel Le'Faye soon. It looks really good.  

12:  The KotLC Solo Write - It is kinda struggling right now, but it is still one of my favorites because, as you can see, I am obsessed with KotLC. 

13: There are a lot of good names out there - that is tough! I mean there is Darkkling, dreamiing, Jubilee, Luminesense (pardon if I spelled that incorrectly), Echo, Wrinting_in_the_dark, etc. etc. etc. I don't think I can pick!

1. How long have you been on the CB?

9. Most interesting thread that you've read?

Probably the Politics Thread on Down to Earth.  

10. Favorite old CBer? (someone who contributed a lot to the CB but isn't here anymore; someone you look up to on the CB)

Viola?. She's just such an amazing artist and writer and all around awesome person. She was also the first CBer of my knowledge to have an AE using neopronouns, so that's cool. 

11. Favorite Ski Lodge?

*panicked noises* I don't know! Probably Royokan Suzaran? I also love Magicae Palace, of course :) 

12. Favorite Solo Write/RP?

Jazzy's Prince of Peace thread on Inkwell is pretty neat, and there was also a great Mission to Mars solo write that was cool, but I think it died.

1. How long have you been on the CB?
Since October 6th, 2020.
2. How did you find the CB?
My in-real-life friend, Morning, told me about it, and I joined so we could work on the ski lodge she was planning together, which is still going actually. I'm not very active anymore, though/ 
3. What's the first thread you made/posted on?
The first thread I made and posted on was my introduction thread. 
4. What was your first AE? 
I introduced all of my AEs at the same time, but the first one I listed was Adrian.
5. How many AEs do you have? What are their names?
I have four AEs, three of my own, and one I adopted from Nightfall once when they were going to leave, for the sake of a ship. I think they're still here, but under themysticwolf, or Nox, or whatever it is now. Anyways, that isn't the point. 
My AEs are Adrian, Dallas, Evan, and —Stella—. I also have a CAPTCHA, ||Qwinn||.  
6. How many Ski Lodges/Solo Writes/RPs have you created? 
I have one Ski Lodge, the one Morning and I write together (Camp Juniper, by Liberté and Basil. It's one of the threads on Pudding's Place with "..."), I had a Solo Write, Mission to Mars, but I just declared it dead because I lost all motivation to finish it. I'm not too into RPs, so I have none of those.
7. What's your favorite section of the CB?
I like every section! When I was more active (I say this like I've been on the CB for a while, but I haven't even been here for a whole year yet xd), I was on each section pretty evenly, except for This Month and Blab About Books. So, I'd say all of them, I guess. 
8. Favorite thread? (It doesn't need to be presently active)
I think Luna's more recent ski lodge (The Ski Lodge Story, I believe) would have to be one of my most liked threads. I don't have a specific favorite thread because I feel it's kind of unfair to the other threads I really like, such as the ultimate picturings thread, but I sure would have to say The Ski Lodge Story is pretty amazing.
9. Most interesting thread that you've read?
All of them! I love all of the threads that you all create, and they're each interesting in their own ways :)
10. Favorite old CBer? (someone who contributed a lot to the CB but isn't here anymore; someone you look up to on the CB)
I'm not too familiar with older CBers, but from looking back on old threads and talking to some of them on other platforms (hi big boss society ;)), I'd have to say most of them are pretty cool.
11. Favorite Ski Lodge?
Anything Luna-Starr has written, or Bakerloo, Silver Crystal, or Lumi, or parts Morning has written from our ski lodge, or anyone's, honestly. There are a lot of great writers here!
12. Favorite Solo Write/RP?
I don't read or participate in any Solo Writes or RPs, so I couldn't answer this.
13. Favorite CBer name that you've noticed?
Any of them! They're all so creative. :)
