Look, I'll fill out the survey, but the way this is phrased kind of seems like you're answering 'no' to these questions without actually saying it. If you have any problems with CB or if you're feeling lonely, it's better to just tell us.

1. How would you rate CB over all? 

Like, on a scale from one to ten? If so, maybe nine, just because right now I guess it's not connecting that well to my Wi-Fi so each page takes a while to load.

2. Are you having fun on CB?

Well, yeah! 

3. Why did you originally come to CB?

I read about it in Cricket.

4. Why are you still on CB?

It's fun! I love talking to people and doing writing, RPs and such. It's a great community. ;) 

5. Who are your friends on CB?

*sigh* 

6. Would you invite a friend or sibling to come on CB, and why or why not?

Depends on the person. There are a couple friends I have who might be interested, but I'm pretty sure my brother won't be. 

7. Do you think you share anything in common with other CBers, and what is it? 

Yes, I suppose. Almost everyone on here likes to write or some sort of art. It's first and foremost a creative website.

Abiii. I'm your friend!

1. How would you rate the CB overall?
Eight, maybe nine? I rarely give anything a ten, but the CB comes close. There are a few things I think could be improved, but it's excellent the way it is. (yes, that was much more than ten words, wasn't it?)

2. Are you having fun on the CB?

Of course! Why would I come if I wasn't?

3. Why did you originally come to the CB?
There were all those "via the Chatterbox" things in the Letterbox in Cricket magazine and I wanted to find out what it was.

4. Why are you still on the CB?
'Cause this place is one of my favorite websites. It doesn't have age restrictions, it's incredibly open, and it's a community of writers and readers. I love that more than anything. It really gives me a chance to write and keep writing.

5. Who are your friends on the CB?

Abigail, Shadow, Somebody, Indigo, Cayke, and Air. I feel like I'm missing someone, and I think the feeling isn't mutual with all of them, but . . . *shrugs*

6. Would you invite a friend or sibling to come on the CB? Why or why not?
I tried that once. Ended up with them calling me by my real name, which was really annoying. Nobody that I know would really feel at home here, so no, but I'd love it if there was someone.

7. Do you think you share anything in common with other CBers, and what is it?

Easy. We're all writers and readers. That's what the website is for.

1. How would you rate CB over all? 

Same as always. l can't define this subjective place, nor shall l try to. It is what it is.  

2. Are you having fun on CB?

Meh. As of late? Not really, because l haven't been on very much. Can't have fun if you're not here. 

3. Why did you originally come to CB?

l don't know. Writing, maybe? Believe it or not, but l hadn't written anything of length or quality until l started role playing here. And one thing leads to the next. And now l've actually written things.  Many things. 

4. Why are you still on CB?

Eh. Mostly because l'm doing a writing project on here and am somewhat tied to it for a longish time. Otherwise, not sure. l'm disinterested as to what is going on right now. 

5. Who are your friends on CB?

H.A.B. and Booksy. 

6. Would you invite a friend or sibling to come on CB, and why or why not?

Friend: N/A, don't actually have any close friends. Sibling: No. They're not writers, and kind of tease me about being a member of this site. One of my sister did go on here for a while (she went by Clock) but got bored of it. 

7. Do you think you share anything in common with other CBers, and what is it? 

Probably. For one, l'm human. l'm alive. l like things. Other people like things. l write nonsense. Other people write nonsense. 

That's not what you meant, you say? 

Well then. Truth be told, yes, but l don't think the things l have in common.....matter? l've always been the one lurking around, being cynical. Which isn't bad, simply different.

1. How would you rate CB over all? 

Definently a 10. 

2. Are you having fun on CB?

Of course! Why shouldn't I? 

3. Why did you originally come to CB?

Originally, I came to look into KYNGDOM, but eventually, I joined CB as Doctor Boox, which eventually became Remus, like it is now. 

4. Why are you still on CB?

Why leave? I only joined in February  

5. Who are your friends on CB?

Icy and Claaws. 

6. Would you invite a friend or sibling to come on CB, and why or why not?

My brother think's it's boring. As for friends, I've mostly advocated for them to join KYNGDOM, but you never know... 

7. Do you think you share anything in common with other CBers, and what is it?

I'm homeschooled, like Cho and Mei. (I think) I love to write, like pretty much everyone here. I love this place, like everyone here does.

1. How would you rate CB over all? 

9.5, definitely! It's amazing, but sometimes I wish we could have like, a massive Skype call under our CB names for each thread, just to discuss things in real time.  

2. Are you having fun on CB?

Oh heck yes! I was gone for almost all of July, and I really missed you guys! I love all the creative things that go on here, from RPs to SIs and just random AE stuff! 

3. Why did you originally come to CB?

I was looking through my mags and found a few 'Blots from the Inkwell' pages, and decided to check it out.  

4. Why are you still on CB?

To be honest, probably for myself. I don't have very many close friends, and most of them I can't see very often, especially since classes at school start next week. Cricket let's me express the insane, creative part of me who comes up with a new book idea every ten minutes.  

5. Who are your friends on CB?

Uh.... Everyone? I kinda feel like I know everyone on here at some level or another, even if I don't really know them too well.  

6. Would you invite a friend or sibling to come on CB, and why or why not?

Oh heck yes!!! My siblings are 9 and 6, so my parents won't allow them on here, but I would definitely invite all my friends! I've shown my BFF several things in here, but I think I might have scared her off with all the AE crushes! XD

7. Do you think you share anything in common with other CBers, and what is it? 

(Ok, I'm just remembering the first part of Shadow's answer and cracking up right now.) 

Honestly, I think we're all different people, and that's wonderful. I think everybody on here is amazing and creatives in ways that I could never be, and that's what makes Cricket so special to me.

1. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a 15!

2. Oh yes!

3. I was exploring th Cricket website for no particular reason, and stumbled upon it.

4. I love it. I love the community, I love the people, the RPs, the solo writes, the RPs...I don't know of any other blog like it.

5. Everyone, though I'm especially close to people I've known longer.

6. I'm sorry, but no. I have a younger brother, and it's not his thing anyway, but I really pour my heart into the CB, and I don't want him seeing that. It's like another life. Same reason for my friends. It's not a secret...my friends know I blog, it they don't really know much about it, and I don't really encourage it. I'm sorry, I must be selfish...

7. Oh gosh. They're just...people like me. Most of them, anyway. Booksy, write-sy, a little nerdy, fangirly...they're kids like me.

7; No

Honestly, I have to agree with Abi. It sounds like you are answering "no" to most if not all of these questions, A Someone. It's okay, I understand. But please do tell us if something's wrong. 

1. How would you rate CB over all? 

9 as of now due to the slowness of the website (everyone's been having this issue). Otherwise 10. 

2. Are you having fun on CB?

Indeed 

3. Why did you originally come to CB?

Recently, to receive help on my book and characters. In the past, just for fun I think. 

4. Why are you still on CB?

Because you all have grown to be my online family, of course! 

5. Who are your friends on CB?

... Look at number 4. 

6. Would you invite a friend or sibling to come on CB, and why or why not?

I already did (BunnyLoves) because I know she would love the creativity and young minds here. Not to mention the whole AE world that has been created.

7. Do you think you share anything in common with other CBers, and what is it? 

Ahhh... Yes. Yes, I do, even though I find myself so much older than most of you. That, in my opinion, is a disadvantage because it's hard to find creativity the older you are. At least, in my case. But I do share the uniqueness, artsy, book nerd, geeky personality that all of you possess.

1. How would you rate CB over all? 

Mm, hard for me to rate as I'm not on much anymore. It's changed a fair bit since I was on steadily, some for better, some for worse. From what I've seen, over all, I'd say the cb is still a pretty good place. Just that there are some details that need fixing. 

2. Are you having fun on CB?

Not really anymore, though occasionally I find something to reply to. It's just too hard for me to stay up to date and connect with people.

3. Why did you originally come to CB?

The magazine brought me here back in 2012, I think it was. I wasn't expecting to really stay, until I found a community of people like me. They drew me in and gave me a haven. So I guess it was the magazine is why I came, and the people and Admins who made me stay.

4. Why are you still on CB?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I guess because while I'm on sparsely, and don't find a lot to reply to, I still have an attachment to this place. It was the first time I'd found anything like this and anyone who cared as much about the same things I did. 

5. Who are your friends on CB?

Most of the people I was tight with have since left, like Violet and Teresa, but I'm still very good friends with Butterfly, S.E., and Ruby.

6. Would you invite a friend or sibling to come on CB, and why or why not?

Depends on the person, frankly. I know the CB has gone through some struggles recently, and I'd have to judge the friend judciously as to whether or not they'd know how to handle the conflicts that have arisen as of late. But over all CB, sure, I definitely would.  

7. Do you think you share anything in common with other CBers, and what is it? 

Again, hard for me to say since I haven't been on lately, so I guess I'll say from when I was on regularly. Me and other CBers when I was on shared not all only a love of literature, the arts, and and Cricket magazine, we also shared a common sense of belonging here, I think. I know others felt like me, and had a hard time connecting with peers in real life since our interests could be and were fairly different than most kids. I don't think the average kid and/or teen goes on and on about writing, character development, roleplays, etc. So if I had to say I personally shared something in common with other CBers, I'd say it was our sense of having a place to belong.

Nope, I'm still here. I've been though since the last two or three years though. Not as much this pasty year, year and a half, but I've been here.
