Procrastination StationI told the girl I like that I liked her. She already knew and did not reciprocate. We’re still friends. The world didn’t end! I did my Spanish final speaking. The world didn’t end! I submitted my form to run for Science Honor Society office. The world didn’t end! Now, let’s see what happens when I try to write my lit review for Science Research…

GuestIsn’t it a little weird that everyone who was on the chatterbox all the way back in ’16 went by their real names and everything, but now nobody does?

outskirts of the galaxyit is a bit weird, isn’t it? i wonder who the first CBer not to go by their real name was.

Poinsettia
GuestActually there were CBers who went by non-real names all the way back in 2008; not many, but there were a few! If you dig around in the Very Far-Back Pages you might be able to find some…
Using more unique names is kind of one of the nicest things about the CB – it gives such a vibe and personality to the website:)
-
white raven
GuestYeah… it was probably weird to every one else, but now, if somebody went by their real name, we would think that was sooo weird!

Outskirts of the Galaxyhello Good People of the Chatterbox! im putting together another ultimate guide because since the cb updated, i think it would be useful to have a new one. it’s aaaaalmost ready to be posted, but first, i would greatly appreciate your input on (one or both of) the following two things! thank you very much :DD
1. when you go to type up your post and click on one of the tags in the toolbar (ie. B or I), does the clicking of the button get rid of paragraph/line breaks in the post? because this happens to me, and its really annoying, but it might just be my computer, and if its just me, i wouldn’t want to mention it in the ultimate guide lol!
2. anything at all you think would be useful to see in the new guide (ill be including everything relevant from the old guides btw)? this could be terms you think should belong in the glossary, bits of cb history or etiquette, cb activities, notable glitches, or anything else! if you want, you can type up a whole ultimate guide entry/definition for the topic, but you don’t have to; just mention it and ill do the rest :]
thank you, my friends!

Guestwell, if you haven’t already, definitely define some old terms that might be mentioned. what would be fun is if you defined CAPTCHAEs as like… an extinct species or something. and maybe put that you can see the old site on the wayback machine, just so that no one forgets our history! again, I’m sure you’ve probably thought of these, but definitely be sure to maintain the CB’s history :3
-
Poinsettia
GuestYay, another ultimate guide! Thanks for putting it all together!!
1. No, it doesn’t do that at all for me. But it might be worth mentioning for people who have similar computers to yours.
2. Can’t think of anything atm, but I”ll let you know if an idea comes to me…:)

GuestHere’s my input:
1. I had never done that before, and therefore did not know the outcome, but upon reading your about your dilemma I immediately tried it for myself. And the answer is yes, it does do that for me as well. (I don’t know why I worded that paragraph so weirdly, I’m sorry if that was strange for you)
2. I don’t know that I have much for you in that department… maybe just a few things: one, the most recent post does not always appear on the thread. For instance, when you click on down to earth and look at a thread to see if there is a new post, it doesn’t always show up. So yeah, maybe put that in there as a heads up or something. Also, I don’t know if that will be fixed eventually. But anyways! Um, the only other thing that you might mention is to make sure the cloud flare box has successfully verified you are human before you post. However, the cloud flare box does not always appear at first. Sometimes you have to click submit once and then it will appear. After that, you will find that your name or anything else you entered in the information box has disappeared, while your original post has stayed the way you typed it, except that all new-paragraph-lines and such are deleted. So you will need to retype your name and information and fix the post before you click submit again. Once that’s done, just make sure that it says “Success!” Before you submit. Then it should work.
I hope that all made sense and I’m sorry if it was confusing! (It probably was!) Hope this helps. And thank you so much for doing this. It’s very kind and thoughtful of you!

A Celestial Sky1. It doesn’t happen for me, but like Poinsettia said, it could be worth mentioning.
2. For italics and bolds, maybe remind people to make sure it’s on both sides? (It could just be me though who forgot about that.) Also you could include the two times CB shut down in CB history.

Lightnin’ CityMy mom is convinced that wolf fur should be called “wool” instead of sheep’s fluff being called “wool”. Why does she think this, you ask? Because she thinks that since “wool” sounds like the beginnin’ of “wolf”, wolf fur should be called “wool”. I’ve tried to convince her it doesn’t work that way, but she doesn’t want to listen. Just another normal day, isn’t it? Yes, yes it is.
