Are they here just to lurk, then pop up to win the contests?  Doesn't sound like people who want to truly join KDC, and instead, just have a hand out to get something for nothing.
 
To each his own, but most everyone else here is for discussion, friendships, and have a real sense of community, etc. That just seems a bit greedy to me.  Maybe word has spread that newbies can post once and win cool GCs since it seems to be happening frequently.  It won't be long until the regulars just give up and they all go to the not-so-serious newbies. 4951

Well, there's an over-abundance of pervs, so you can't keep those and boot out the trolls, I guess. 4951

Many people only join KDC to post in the classified section.  Many rarely, if ever, post on the Forums section. 4951

@Retired_Engineer: Maybe, but some of the names look an awful lot like the trolls/instigators from that other site.  Fortunately, Joe and Drek have a pretty good history of whacking those moles on the head quickly.

No clue if I am one of the newbies being refered to but you guys seem pretty quick to jump to conclusions about people.  I actually thought it was kind of cool to have a local community forum to get to know more about what is going on in my area.
Can't speak for anyone else but:
I could care less about entering any contest. 
I recently moved to the area and had a legitimate question.
My name has plenty of meaning for anyone who has known me for the past 10 years.
Also, it has been the same screen name I've used on every forum I have ever been a member of, so for simplicity it made sense to use it.
My real name is Chad.  Nice to meet you all.  :D 4951

@shodan66:   I don't go on the other site, so I wouldn't recognize the names.

@haybine:  Newbies are always welcomed.... unless you are a troll, instigator, or spammer!  Some of us regulars are just a little frustrated that most of the recent winners of posting contests have been people who rarely post.  I just like to give the moderators Joe and Drekonix a hard time about it!  During a posting contest, for each post you write that is at least four words long gives you one entry in the contest. The more times you post, your odds of winning go up.  KDC then randomly selects a winner from all the entries.  Some of the new usernames are focused on those contests.Anyway, welcome to KDC!  Hope you enjoy it!

@haybine: I think the OP asked a legit question.  A bunch of us have been on here for several years and, although these things run in cycles, we don't generally see threads announcing nearly as many new accounts as we have recently.
Like I said, the owner/admins of the site keep a pretty healthy playground.  If they're here to partake, lurk, or anything in between they will continue to be welcomed by all.  If they've come to stir the pot and hijack threads, the bossman will sort them out.  4951

@haybine:  No, sorry, it's the names like "yallrlosers" and "giveupImwinning" names that are obvious joins for contests.  Sorry if you thought you were included. 
 
We don't mistreat all newbies.  You might, however, get pinched and sniffed by various pervs.  Just pretend they are puppies, ignore them and they will finally get bored and move on.  Unless they take a real liking to you, and then you basically have to adopt a perv of your own and keep him entertained for a while. Don't be offended.  We all have at least one.

Dollars to doughnuts those few contest themed names are regulars here that are a wee bit miffed that when a contest is held, a percentage of the time, the winner is someone who is not a constant poster on here, or a long time poster.  4951
