Who are the newbies?

[fartmeistergeneral]

I've only been on mn for a few months - August I think it was. Who else is a newbie? It's hard to tell from posts who is new and who is 'old'! Also, do any other newbies find

1 you can kill a thread stone dead with one flash of your nickname?

2 your threads fall off the active convos at an alarming rate

3 you spend ages thinking of something incredibly witty to say and no-one notices?

only joking really, love mn, am an addict!

I'm a newbie too for about the same length of time. And I would say 'yes!' to 1, 2 and 3!

i can say yes to all that fartmeistergeneral, and i've been here about a year. it takes time.

It happens to those of us who've been around a bit longer too. I'm not an 'oldie', but possibly an 'in-betweeny', and I definitely do all those things .

Good Baconbaps, I will remember your name, will be nice to meet you on a thread and say hello!

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes

I think there is a secret password that when you figure it out, you post a new thread with that as the title, then you are offically accepted!! lol To be fair I have posted a couple of threads that people have been really helpful to....still no an offical member of the MN club yet though

have i done no.1 again??????????????

Oh yes, me too. But it strangely doesn't limit my time on here!! There are soooo many other things which need doing and yet MN just drags me in....

I've been here since August too!
And usually...Yes Yes and Yes.
I still like to lurk and read all the threads though.

No...Jam77... I have

I've been here since November and
yes
yes
yes
now worried that I will kill this one...

ooh hello domesticslobess
I know you!!!! (its nice when you recognise a name)

i wonder how long you are considered a newbie? i've been on for a year and i can still say a huge YES to all three!!

I'm also a newbie, from august or september, and :

1 you can kill a thread stone dead with one flash of your nickname? yes, absolutely.

2 your threads fall off the active convos at an alarming rate:I've only started two threads and they've been surprisingly popular

3 you spend ages thinking of something incredibly witty to say and no-one notices? yes, or someone gets in there before me.

I've been a member since end Sept/early Oct and yes yes yes to those 3 questions! I lurk more than I post and have found most people v helpful, keep wishing I'd joined 3-4 years ago!

Shall we start a newbie rule?
If you see a newbie's name...you have to say hello, and post a that way you won't feel like a plumb as everyone blanks you and talks over the top of your head!

So nice to have all newbies together? So are we all new mums or experienced and just discovered the site??? I am a new mum to DD 3 months everyone else?

good idea ludaloo!

I have three dc..5yrs, 3yrs and 16 months (dh found the site by accident and now he wishes he hadn't! )

Ludaloo....I think we are the only ones left lol

I have two dds: aged nearly three and 15 months, and since discovering mumsnet, my dh complains that I use the computer too much!

And welcome Jam 77

Hi blego! My DH calls my mobile asking If I've left the phone off the hook (can't get broadband in my area yet )

Lol! its usually the way!
I do have to go in a mo though..as dd2 is trying to pull me off the computer, and I have to getds from nursery.
Will try and remember names though

Have to pop off for a while now....welcome any other newbies that join this thread in my absence!!!

I found MN after looking for pushchair recommendations. I've got 2 DDs aged 15 and 13 and I'm pregnant with my 3rd (flavour unknown) due next Thurs (14th) so I lurk/post on the December ante-natal thread and also mostly lurk around active convos.

Nice idea about sending smileys to fellow newbies! I just hope I can remember all the names.

And I feel such a newbie I haven't changed my name to anything festive. When I do the name changing thing is when I shall feel part of the club!

lol at 'blego' !
