I think it's been a bit under a week ago, St. Tim. You're the first to notice -- at least the first to say anything about it.

No "Pomp and Circumstance", Protests, Applause - I enjoyed my apprenticeship, and took no offense. Glad to see it back.

I noticed a few days ago, but steered of the topic after the idiocy I displayed in my post when they went away.

BTW, I think I've noticed another change. I believe it used to be that all posts by a member would display that member's latest total number of posts. Now it appears that each post retains the number that the member reached with that post. Or has it always been the latter case?

I'm with St. Timoteo! It's great to see the title of Newbie back.

I am still against it and I sure hope the same old crap doesn't start again..

I sure noticed a lot more people joining the forums when it was just registered not newbie..

"newbie" is just a word made up of letters like any other word. It has no ulterior meaning other than to point out the 'newest' members to us "wackos" ( yet another word made up of letters) so that we can help them out when (if) needed. A newbie is new to the forums, but not necessarily anything else! I like the concept and took no offence when I was a "newbie" ( a word made up of letters)

Same here, I rather enjoyed being a "newbie", but tried like heck to become a "wacko." I like having the titles so you know who has been here for awhile and can help out.

I've had a few people give me a strange look when they see "Wacko" next to my name! After I explain what it means, it doesn't help much!

When you think about it, it is kind of odd that someone, at some time, didn't like the term "newbie", but everyone seems to be happy being a "wacko". I guess we're "wacko"s in more ways than one!
