Next, if you’re so minded, stop by Who’s Here (see the menu at the top of your screen) and announce your arrival in a comment there, so we’ll be sure to add you to the official list.

MuseBlog Veterans: Please use this thread only to welcome newcomers as they arrive and answer questions that they ask.

    1. Welcome! :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: Is your name a reference to anything? If not, it sounds good anyway.

    2. I wish Castle and I were bros. So, hi! Nice to meet you. I’m SBF, and this is the MuseBlog. You’ll have such fun here. :arrow:

        1. That would make you my maybe-future stepdad-in-law? Or brother-in-law? And JLynn would be my stepmother-in-law or sister-in-law-removed-n-times and then–the plot thickens! (More like, the family complicatens! something like that.)

          1. I would quite like to be your brother-in-law.

            Justice and I aren’t married yet. She’s got a ton of other online stuff to do, so she’s not going to be here very much, if ever, much to my sadness. The point is, if she comes back we’ll get blogmarried but in the meantime Castle is willing to marry any of his adoring fans :roll:

      1. I would have adopted you by now if I could find the caking thread in which to do so. I can’t, though, because I’ve forgotten what it’s called and my brain has gone all to mush.


        There once was a Muser named Castle
        To him finding threads was a hassle
        So he shut down his brain
        And he plugged it back in
        Now it’s running a tiny bit faster.

        1. It’s called Blog Siblings. I think you can have an adoption on any thread, though, if you want.

            1. Two…YEARS? I went back through the archives and thought one year was too much. I was searching for the keywords “family” “adopt” and “genealogy” because I couldn’t for the life of me remember the name of the thread. Thank you.

              1. Oh, two years is nothing here. Some MuseBloggers have spent a third of their lives in this place.

                You ought to try delving into early MuseBlogology. There’s some very entertaining stuff down in the Cambrian and Ordovician strata.

                1. I showed up late 2007, and I’m 14 and a half now…so that would mean I’ve been here for a little under a third of my life. If I did the math right. Which I’m sure I didn’t, because I’m running on sunflower seeds and 15 hours of sleep total this week.

                  And the reason I was a little concerned that it had been two years was because I thought it had been abandoned months ago when in fact the most recent post there was in January. I panicked a little at the thought that 8 months had just gone by in what felt like two.

                2. It’s been seven, maybe eight years now.

                  At some point fairly soon I’ll have been here longer than some MBers have been alive.

                  1. Oxlin has been getting Muse since before I was born (and also before some others here were born, like Mikazuki and Agent Lightning), although I no-one has actually been on MuseBlog since a fellow MBer was born yet.

  2. Woah woah woah hai
    I just kind of left that there, didn’t I? XD
    The name’s not really a reference to anything, I just like making interesting sounding names, and characters to go along with them. Although Selcothe is a little polished sort of variation on the word “selcouth”, and Sicaria is a word for a female assassin. Not exactly politically correct, but it sounds cool.
    And thank you for the welcomings and the pies :D

    1. And after a brief internet search, I find that selcothe actually was a variation of the word in older versions of English, but isn’t used anymore. Welp, guess you learn something new every day.

  4. Well, I’m not exactly new, but it’s been ages since I posted here and sufficient time has passed that I think reintroductions are in order (I turned 18, for one). So hi!

    3. Welcome back! I don’t know if we’ve been on here together, but I guessed you were an older, probably college-age MBer, so that’s something.

    1. Hello! I joined MuseBlog long after you came, but you know me from the Cricket ChatterBox. I’m Ima. My avatar’s a tardigrade, by the way.
      I don’t know whether or not you were here when Ducky came, since that was years before me, but I’ve only seen your posts here on really old threads? She’s Cara. ZNZ’s here, too, but she didn’t change her name. Anyway, welcome, it’s nice to see you here!

        1. You know, I never thought I’d see the day when a MuseBlogger expressed honest nostalgia for the “good old days of the Chatterbox”.

          It’s funny how time changes perspective. The Chatterbox and its accompanying influx of newbies didn’t turn out to be the doom of us, after all.

            1. The average age on the ChatterBox has definitely increased, though, and maturity with it. (Age did decreased a bit afterward, but most people there are still older than when you posted frequently). It goes through phases just like MuseBlog has done. ZNZ and I still go there quite frequently, and TNO posts as well, although she is the oldest person there. The average age is still much younger than the average MuseBlogger’s age, but no-one there now is younger than any MuseBlogger from the past year (and maybe a half).

    2. Oh MY. It has been a while, hasn’t it? If you remember me at all it’ll be as eragon, my annoying younger self. Nice to see you again, TNÖ. I remember reading your letters in Muse before I joined the blog and being mildly surprised to find you here. Anyway, welcome back!

  8. Welcome to MuseBlog, Melody! I like your name. Incidentally, I know someone on the Cricket ChatterBox who goes by the same name; you wouldn’t happen to be the same person, would you?

  9. Bibliophile, no, I’ve never heard of that.
    Yeah, my name reminds me of doctor who too!
    Oh, and my sister is Alice? I don’t think she comes on anymore, what with college and all.
