What's it like to be a freeper with a 100,000+ sign on number?

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.

Post #10. I don't think so. I rarely notice the screen name of the person to whom I'm writing. I respond to the posted message. Occasionally it's otherwise, but not often.

Try your name on the bottom of your last post.

No number - maybe it's a negative number that will not display

I am sorry that you feel you don't get reponses back! Stick around, you will get to know others, and you can just join in with everyone anyway!!

I'm 100,386. So who is lucky 100,000?

Some bloke named "The 100,000th FReeper!"

And my number is.

Don't let it get you down! The new posters are just as valuable as the old ones! Some people just like to brag about how long they have been around! :-)

not divisible by 3, 2 or 111.

I didn't know you were a younger woman. I'm older by three years:)

9360 checking in.

I must be very old.

[Howlin]

My original number was 7154. *Sigh*

[Fledermaus]

That didn't work for me. I still can't find the number but I know I'm around #1248

[borisbob69]

LMAO...I had to go to an online dictionary to find out what you were talking about...but I do like my number

[Ohioan from Florida]

Thanks to all those who described how to find my number. Now that I have checked it, it appears that I am in the 100,000+ category.

I lurked on FR for several years before joining, and made my first post about a year ago. I love FR. I love the range of topics that are posted and commented on. FR lets me "talk" with others who are, for the most part, like-minded individuals, yet not so like-minded that we agree on everything (IMO sort of like a healthy marriage).

I think FReepers are the wittiest people on earth! Good humor abounds (most of the time) as does generosity of spirit. I feel welcomed and accepted here. It's nice to have a niche to feel like you fit in with.

Thanks to Jim Robinson and all the many other FReepers who have helped me have an outlet for some of my life's passions.

I think all forums (and social organizations) get like that.

I’ve posted frequently for about 6 years, and don’t have many friends here. Guess I’m not a good fit.

I’ve written what I thought were some very insightful and balanced analysis without replies. I just took it as leaving nothing to be disagreed with. But if a little edge is inserted that lampoons on side here, a whole day can be wasted volleying back attacks on this thing. Probably not a good idea.

Life’s short. Internet friends are shorter.

Just a minute, pal-- it just so happens that 6652 is my Diner's Club Card number. Now tell me not to sweat it.

[Fledermaus]

Ah, there it goes...#1214

[conshack]

Let him....Kerry's campaign is imploding, and it will just be a matter of time before he has a Howard Dean moment, and gives his own "I have a scream" speech.

I'm asking the same question. My faith is restored. I got a response.

[Indy Pendance]

That's the beauty of an internet site... screw 'em if they can't take a joke.
