The CB is

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

The CB is

The CB is an ocean. Most of us stay on the surface, splashing and playing happily, swimming thread to thread. A few dive deeper, another page or two, maybe. Some even go to the very deepest depths of this sea, the back pages, where the find sunken treasure and bring it back to the shallows. But there is a part of this ocean that has never been explored much at all. 

The open ocean.

So, I had this idea while trying to go to sleep one night. Now, maybe this is dumb, and I was tired that night, but maybe it's an interesting project that some would like to try on the CB. 

The CB Expedition Project. 

So, we all have read the threads on the first page, and rarely go farther, unless to top our own sunken threads or check for threads of others. But do we ever go into the very center of the CB? I didn't think so. There might be some very old, but very interesting threads hidden down there, and we just have to find them. So let's do it. 

I'll need six people including myself to help with this project. Each if you will take on a separate part if the CB. I'll take on Inkwell. Available sections are:

This Month (I don't blame you if no one takes this section) 

Chirp at Cricket

Blab about Books

Down to Earth

and finally, 

Pudding's Place

Assigning will be first come first served. Once assigned your section, you will go to the last page and see what number it is. Then, divide that number by two to figure out what the center page/pages is/are. Go to it/them. Read down a few middle pages. Then, when you find something interesting, either top it, or do a remake. 

I think this is gonna be really interesting!

Let's start!

I'll do DtE if no one else has taken it yet (I see some unposted posts, so I don't know)

Kay, so, um, we might have a little bit of conflict here...since she was here first, EG, gets DTE, and I'm taking on Inkwell, but GreenMango and Embers, since you are also here you can work out amongst yourselves who wants to have PP, BaB, or TM.

Hey guys, I don't mind you go back and read the threads, share some ideas and discuss them and stuff, maybe make a new thread about it, but please don't top them. Those threads are like old photographs of me and my family. I personally think they should be left alone.  

I know people are going to be mad at me, and there will be those who will be like "garsh, that old CBer Butterfly is trying to keep everything the same." I honestly don't care, but I think that not topping and instead starting a new thread with the same topic and linking the old one is a good comprimise.

Please guys? Do this for me and my old family. Do this for Everinne, Teresa, Melody, ~Blue Fairy~, Gollum, Theo W., TNO, everybody.

I have to agree, it would be more honorable to the past CBers to keep these things down. Like Butterfly said, can you all make a thread about it or something, just out of kindness? Butterfly, I was around back with all you guys then. It's like a giant photo album and diary, some things just aren't meant to be restarted or joined up again. Speaking of which, I really miss those guys...

I guess that would be okay. I do get it--those are special threads from a different time, and we want to leave them in their place. I guess I'm just a newbie still--with no honor of the past. Sorry, guys. I didn't mean to upset anyone, I just thought it was a good idea. There are some really interesting things buried deep in the threads, and I just thought some were worth reviving. Honestly though, I didn't wanna go to the trouble of topping 8 year old threads, so I was going to do remakes anyway. Oh, and for those of you who do remake old threads, please make sure you credit the CBer who made the original thread.

Thanks Leeli. Sorry about all of the fuss, yesterday wasn't a great day, then I came on here and saw this. . . I guess I got a little carried away. You're always awesome with things like this. *hugs*

Thanks Leeli! I love your thread idea, by the way. I know how much work and dedication your team will put into discovering these threads. Actually, if you allowed more people, I would love to help! And it's not about having no honor, you are a famous person and really caring about everyone. Every single CBer I know has honor for those before and infront of them. So thank you for understanding, and I cannot wait to see your discoveries!
