I'm new and I have a question |
|
Is Newyawker99 a person or an automated screen name to welcome people and note milestones? Seriously, just wondering.

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

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.

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.

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.

25. I just never checked her profile. |
|
Like the OP points, she does post quite mechanically.

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. :)

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

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

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..

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.

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.
