I’ve had over 90 posts, have lurked awhile (over a month) but have only registered a week ago. You decide if I’m an newbie or not.
Oh yeah. I’d like to point out that “:D” is the coolest username I’ve seen so far…
Reporting as ordered…er, or was that a request…a plea? Damn I just don’t get the nuances around here. Better post though. Because if I’m not a newbie…and I’m not an veteran of the aol days…and I’m not a troll or a sock puppet…I may have no identity at all and be just one of the Teeming Millions. But then, that’s honor enough for anyone, isn’t it?
Well, I’m new.
Good one X-files. Suspended Animation- Walt Disney would be proud.
Newbie to this, my favorite inter-active website.
I was going to post to this yesterday but could think of nothing appropriately clever (don’t hold your breath, I’m still sort of letting the team down in this regard)…
Anyway, count me in…
It’s all a government plot to keep tabs and collect information on you! I know it seems like a harmless enough post just to see who’s new and welcome the newbies, but I warn you, they are just out to find out who you are and implant tracking and mind-reading devices in your brain while you sleep, so whatever you do, DO NOT POST HERE . . .
dammit.
I did it too. Oh, hell, when in Rome . . .

Nice service, thanks. However, in time newbies will become just like all the other old dopesters. This means that you will need to keep this list up to date, n’est-ce pas? What’s your criteria for being a newbie or oldbie? - it looks like you decided that it will be self defined - that’s ok. Next question, how is this list going to be integrated to the Master List and Master List II? Last question: Is it worth effort to sign up here and over there as well?
Hey, You forgot me!
I’m still a newbie, too (I think). . .
I wish I had a cool name (in real life). Whenever my friend Michael Flood (who graduated college today!!!) answers a role call, he says, “Flood, as in the natural disaster.”
sigh
Respected???!!! Bwahahahahahaha!!!
Thanks anyway though… 
I’m still very newbie-ish, to the message board anyway. I’m a Cecil fan from way back.
And please people don’t feed Demo’s head, I have to live with this man. xoxo
After reading all the posted archives (before they changed the format), I decided to see what other mischief I could get into here at the Online Straight Dope, and thus…
Yet Another Newbie was born.
Beannachti!
Eposia
weg Newbie here! We’re takin over the boards!
Sign me up! 
Hmmm, I may qualify.
Private Newbie! Reporting for duty, SIR!
Rimmer style, really long wavy salute
Morkster
Guilty as charged. But so proud to be one of the teeming dozens.
Hell, if beatle’s a newbie, I must be also.
