All you newbies whose screen number is over 100,000 (plus infinity, or minus a couple thousand), this thread is for you. What's it like to be 'new' here? Are you welcomed? What do you think of FR? Do you feel 'part of the gang'? This thread is for you. Lay it on us.

[lavrenti]

Seems so. The years go by quickly now.

Oh, this is wierd . . . check out User Number 2

[valleygal]

Hang in there and you'll get feedback. Don't get discouraged...you'll meet some great folks here. Election night is especially exciting here at FR.

Cool!

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Wow you are 20641!! Old school!

Yeah, and I lurked for over a year before I registered! Lol! I wonder what my number would have been if I had registered right when I found FR.

[IrishRainy]

I'm 4444...isn't that a cool number? Well, I think so!

I just wish I'd signed up sooner. Got jumped on a few times, received a couple of history lessons. #153544, 6/25/04. Crept around since Nov 99.

So far, so good. I have seen others trashed, so I have tried to be cautious. I read a lot, post lightly.

I've been here since May and have often found it difficult to get responses/feedback from most of my posts.

Perhaps you are in the ODD number group which gets no respect here ;-)

[tutstar]

Don't let that bug you. I don't always get responses. Some folks who do daily threads which have lots of posts may not have time to respond to each post.

democratic underground (the left's FR)

[mondoman]

ALL RIGHT!

See they will get the information by hook or by crook!

BTW I have actually visited the Village in Portmerion, Wales, UK

Probably one of the top 5 funniest comedies of the 20th Century.

Those immortal words were uttered-of course-by Madeleine Kahn.

I sure do miss her.

"Take me, for instance, if you followed my posts to date you would understand the meaning of life…"

We have, we have! But the monitors here don’t want it out. You’re a threat to their authority.

They keep pulling our replies of gratitude. Hope this one slips by. {smile}

I'm 4444...isn't that a cool number? Well, I think so!.

Very symmetrical, too!

100,227 reporting for doody.

I remember someone saying that if a Moderator has ever told you to "Knock it off" you were no longer a newbie, so I must be official.

Anyways, this thread was sposed to be for 100,000+, so all you lowbies "Knock it off".

[hellinahandcart]

There's nothing to make up for, LL. I said I wasn't mad.

(smooch!)
