  I know I was part of last year's post-NY boom. I just hope most of the boom aren't, as LL said, rude idiots. Hence hoping to keep my patience. I'm perfectly happy with most newbies who join us.

  We used to have a web page for GP. I would like to see that return to the board as a "sticky" thread or announcement at the top of the board. It had a lot of good information on it!

  @brij2006, we had one, but unfortunately newbies still don't seem to pay attention to it.
  
  I think the newbs will liven the place up a bit. Give us some entertainment at least.
  Although I'm not looking forward to the drive-by BFPs. But I guess ya gotta take the good with the bad!

  I always liked the newbies! At least the nice ones who weren't dumb. Always fun to get some new blood in the group! Hey, might even liven this place up, which would be awesome!

  I enjoy getting to know all of the new people.  I was a newbie two years ago and if the ladies hadn't accepted me with open arms back then, then I wouldn't have the amazing friendships and support that I do now because of this board.

  
  

  I hope all of the newbies feel welcome!

  I was just thinking back to when I started on this board and realized I've stuck around in some way for roughly 2.5 years. I've loved the ladies on this board and been able to develop some wonderful friendships. Newbies tend to be a mix of great people and entertainment when they get ridiculous. Here's to hoping some fantastic ladies join!

  FWIW, I like the idea of a sticky thread. Sure, not every newbie will read it and we'll inevitably have drive bys, but some of those who really want to become part of the community could benefit!

  As a fairly new person, I think it would be nice to have a sticky of all the acronyms that are used.  It can be intimidating to ask what something means (and looking it up on the web comes up with some interesting and not relevant results).
