I'm new and I have a question

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Is Newyawker99 a person or an automated screen name to welcome people and note milestones? Seriously, just wondering.

[WCGreen]

1. It is a force that dare not be reckoned with.....

Fuck if I know....

Hey, and shout out to a newbie

[Napoleon Dynamite]

3. thanks!

At least I'm not the only one. I hate feeling like Jessica Simpson on stuff.

[FuzzySlippers]

2. Newyawker99 is a very real and a very busy person.

[Napoleon Dynamite]

7. Over 100,000 posts

I guess she is busy. Really I didn't know. I just see bunches of threads or posts. I didn't want to respond to a post and have everyone wondering why I'm responding to an automated screen name.

Thank you for letting me know.

[Droopy]

4. She's for real

If you hang out here in the lounge every once in a while you will see her post threads congratulating people on post milestones. She'll probably get you in the next thread seeing as how you are nearing 100 posts.

5. Hey there, Napoleon Dynamite!

She is a REAL person...and she has been doing her welcoming job and keeping track of milestones for a very long time...

BTW, WELCOME TO DU! Hope you enjoy your stay in our crazy, addictive little town!

:hi:

[Napoleon Dynamite]

8. Thanks

I'm enjoying it so far for the most part. I'm a little intimidated to post in General Discussion due to some of the heated posts in there. I'm loving the pet group. Lorien is my hero.

6. Well, it's the internet so you just can't know.

She is a real person named Roni who lives in New York. She's been a moderator here for years.

[Napoleon Dynamite]

10. Thanks..

I appreciate you understanding, and not making feel foolish, or more foolish for asking. :)

[NoSheep]

14. Welcome to DU! She is amazing-someone has to keep up!

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

9. She is a person

newyawker99 RAWKS

[Kire]

16. she's a "she"?

I thought she was a "he"

[KitchenWitch]

18. nope definitely female

:D

[Kire]

25. I just never checked her profile.

Like the OP points, she does post quite mechanically.

[Kathleen04]

11. She's a real person

and does a great job. NewYawker99, :yourock:

Tip though: On the other hand, GrovelBot, who begs for donations to DU during fundraisers, is not a real person. :)

[Napoleon Dynamite]

12. I haven't seen GrovelBot yet

but thanks for the warning. Hey, I hit 100!

[KitchenWitch]

13. Congratulations!

and welcome to DU

Grovelbot only shows up during the quarterly fundraising drives. You will know him when you see his red eyes!

[Kathleen04]

15. Congrats on 100

and welcome to DU. :)

[Napoleon Dynamite]

17. Thanks Kathleen

I see you list Riverside CA as one of your homes. I used to live there, just off Magnolia and Banbury.

[Kathleen04]

20. Very cool

I know Magnolia St well! :) Riverside is where I was born and raised; I'm @ college now (gone for the summer too) and probably won't be back out there until December..

[Omphaloskepsis]

24. I lived in Riverside for a few years.

In the apartment complex to the right of the shopping center. I hated living there but playing in the storm drains (sankee (?sp)) was fun.

19. Napolean, I have relatives buried in Preston

What say you?

[Napoleon Dynamite]

21. I'm not from Preston

I just liked the movie and used it as a screen name.

[Erika]

23. You ought to visit there

It would add to your screen name.

[Liberal In Texas]

22. Welcome to DU. Pretty soon you'll be over at GD mixing it up with the

best of them.

It was a little hard at first, for me, figuring out the navigation and all, but now I find this is the best board on the net. Thank goodness it's a liberal one.

[newyawker99]

26. Hi Napoleon Dynamite!

Welcome to DU! Yes I am a real person
although sometimes I do feel like a robot.


I hope you enjoy your time here at DU.


:hi:

[Napoleon Dynamite]

28. lol.. thanks

for the welcome.. sorry for questioning your reality :)

[lpbk2713]

30. See?

:shrug:




Now, about the Tooth Fairy .....

[Guy Fawkes]

31. I don't know, that's a pretty robotic responce...

Are you sure your not a machine? Mr. Roboto was a machine AND a hero...

[Mutley]

27. Hi ND!

:hi:

Don't worry too much about GD. I still get intimidated over there sometimes. You'll be likely to get into it with someone over there sometime. Even I have and I'm the stay-away-from-conflict queen.

[grace0418]

29. You gonna eat those tots?

:) Welcome!

[Napoleon Dynamite]

35. yeah... go get your own tots!

[Initech]

[sakabatou]

Unstoppable.

[SOteric]
