Admins Question Thread
Pretty self-explanatory, for when you have a question for the Admins.
I was looking through the Ultimate Guide to the CB, and it says people ask the admins questions "frequently related to blue moon ice cream."
What does that mean?
One of the older admins told a story about Blue Moon ice cream a while back and it became something of a meme: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/441247. --admin

Hey admins, I was just wondering why all the most recent art submissions are gone? Like in the avatar thread and the art posting thread a bunch of the more recent images that already got posted are missing now. It only seems to apply to the newest page or two though...?
There are comments posted as recently as June 10 on the ART POSTING thread on Pudding's Place. Please send me your query on the thread in question and I'll have a look. I really don't know what happened.

@Admins, do any of you watch Stranger Things?
I don't. I don't know about the others.

Dear Admin, what is your favorite book? Do you have a favorite author? Also- Thank you for taking time to read and answer all our Questions and Coments!
OH, that's such a tough question. I enjoy a variety of book and admire many, many authors, but if I had to name one favorite book above all others, it would be Remembrance Rock by Carl Sandburg. It's the story of the American Dream and the principles upon which this country was founded, from the early 1600s in England through the mid-1940s, written as the story of individuals and families from generation to generation. The events and hardships endured are so real and emotional, unlike any history textbook. Reading this book made me really appreciate the pilgrims and pioneers and feel the responsibility to continue to uphold the principles for which they worked so hard. Sandburg’s language is so beautiful that I savored every word, and even though at 1067 pages it is the longest book I’ve ever read, when I got to the end, I was really sorry that there weren’t more pages to read!

@Admin How do you submit stories? My sister is a aspiring author and is published do think it would be posible for her to send cricket one of her stories? Thanks!!
Hi GingerSnap. Cricket only publishes works by authors over age 18. If you sister is an adult, she can visit the Cricket Media website to find information about our submissions process. Otherwise, encourage her to enter our contests and perhaps join you on the Chatterbox! - Admin

@admin, why do i sometimes get a message after posting a comment and it says your comment has been created but then it says
(July 15, 2022 - 4:02 pm)
this usually happens if you press the Submit button twice. if it sends "your comment has been created" and "invalid CAPTCHA token" just ignore it. if you fill out the captcha again, the comment will post twice.
Thanks for this explanation, Darkvine! This may be the reason that some comments arrive in duplicate. You Chatterboxers are so smart to figure all this out.

Hi admins! I just have one question.
What determines the page that a thread is located on? Like, what makes the languages chat thread be on page 7?
Actually... I just thought of another question - what is "topping" supposed to mean exactly?
Thanks! BTW, I really appreciate all your hard work to make the CB an interesting and safe place! :)
I don't know what determines where a thread goes. It may have to do with how many responses it gets. The first reply to a new thread often sends the thread to a back page. The next reply will bring it to the top or front again. That's what people who say "top" are doing, moving a thread back up to the front. It's all rather quirky.

@admins, is it allowed to mention Spotify usernames?
No, we don't allow that. Sorry.

@admin, is mentioning Stardew Valley ok?
Yes, the reviews seem to indicate it's appropriate for Cricket-age young people.
