Hey everyone! As you know, I’m new here. Wasn’t sure where to post this thread so if there is a place deemed more appropriate mods feel free to move it. I hope to meet somenew and interesting people here. I looked at a lot of boards and this one seemed to have the most interesting content and board participation. Is there a chatbox/shoutbox?
Hi, welcome to the board. I think you have chosen the right forum for your introduction.
I don’t believe we have anything like a chatbox or shoutbox (if I am understanding what you mean correctly) but feel free to jump into any of the ongoing discussions, or to start a thread of your own.
Hiya cotton, and welcome to the dark side. There are a lot of posts in ATMB about the board rules and general atmosphere if you’re interested. Hope you enjoy your stay here!
Thank you for the kind welcomes. I see both of you have been here for a very long time!
Welcome, welcome! Would you like some ice cream? It’s free today.

I can’t believe no one ever thought of the name cotton before.
Oh yeah, welcome aboard. Did you bring cake?
Welcome, always nice to have some fresh thoughts in the place.
Sure! Never a bad day for ice cream!
Thanks…of course I brought cake! As for the name “cotton” not being taken I have to admit I am surprised as well. I figured I’d have to register as Cotton118 or something.
Thank you and likewise.
Hey, Welcome to the best board on the web…We don’t have a chatbox, but there is enough activity here that in many threads the responses are almost as fast as a chatroom. (And with good grammar, too.)
But , folks, you all got me confused now with the names: what’s up with “cotton”?
Yeah, it’s a nice little name…(I used to have a kitty named Cotton. 
)
But why do so many people expect it to be a common username?
Am I missing something? Is there someplace in the world with 117 other Cottons?
For the sake of our sacred duty to Fight Ignorance, please help me figgur out wot my poor widdle brain is not gettin’.
Yes, at the www.allcottonboard.com site. Nobody allowed there if their name isn’t Cotton.
I’m a commodity broker and Cotton is one of my specialties. Plus I come from a long line line of cotton farmers in the Glorious South.
Welcome to the SDMB!
Welcome.
I can see you haven’t lurked or you would already know to bring pie, not cake.
And if anyone mentions the squid, don’t pay any attention.
And here I thought cotton was a verb.
Or a character from Bless the Beasts and the Children
If you have pets, you are mandated to post their pictures
I thought that was only for cats.
I am going to start a GQ thread in honor of our new guest, cotton.
Hello, cotton. Welcome! Always nice to have new voices around here - hope you enjoy poking around!
