True, come on newbies, what do you think?

(I think there shy, it's ok we don't bite ....... just flame , me not included o )

Newbie or not to Newbie? I'll vote no to the name change. I am one, no problem. Everyone here has been one. It's not degrogatory. Although nOOb does seem so, (too close to boob?).

I've been sharing since Napster, but not like what I see here. I'm currently overwhelmed by the whole VCD thing, trying to wrap my head around some new programs and juggling them. I'm trying to point out that everyone's still new to something.

If being called a Newbie is offensive to some I apologize, but stand by my opinion.

If it prevents someone from participating then I rescind my vote and y'all call me Newcomer.

Cheers, OMC

I voted no.

Newbie has that air of laid-backness that this board has.
Newcomer is far too formal.

[metalrebelzz]

personally, i think we should change all, if not most, of the names.....

some ideas:

For Newbie: Newbie, Beginner, Newb, Novice, Learner, Apprentice, Padawan (lol), Wannabe, Not Even Close, User

For Jr Member: Mini Me, Sophomore, Talented, Jr. Citizen, Honorary, Almost, Booya, Junior, Evolved, Kazaa User

For Full Member: Standard, average, Competent, Skillz, Kazaa Lite User.......

For Senior Member: Geezer, Old Fart, Intelligent, Diaper User, l337, Kazaa Master.....

For KL Board God: Omnipotent Entity, KL God, K++ User........

and leave Post Whore how it is!!!!!!

I think that newbie sounds better then newcomer.
And i think metalrebelzz has some pretty good names which should be consedied.

[The Great Dude]

I don't really think it makes a difference, any of them sounds fine.

[RPerry]

I voted no, newcomer sounds like a sexual act, and besides, us oldcomers are better in bed

[metalrebelzz]

[Curley]
