> I can think of people like Nyperold and unipeg/Kiki/Lynette, who both started posting to the Forum after I did (Lynette's first post was a few days after mine, Nyperold's was several months later) (this was in the days before RinkChat) who seem like they've been around longer than I have. In my mind they're regulars from The Olden Days. The regulars from The Newen Days include Sosiqui, Ellmyruh, Grishny, and flyingcats. These are people who I think of as hr4dc03r regulars but also think of as newer-than-me. I can't think of anyone who's been around for longer than I have but who I still think of as a "newbie"; I've been around here since April 1999. But I can think of people who have been around here for a relatively long time and are still, in my mind, new.

My first Forum post was November 2K1, yet I've been lurking around the site for months before that. Does that make me a newbie?
