    Pap and Noggin are two regular posters on here (Pap is short for postingalwaysposting). There is a thread somewhere with a challenge to save up holiday money.

    DFW Nerds are us! DFD is debt-free date. MFIT is mortgage free in 3 (years), which is a challenge on the mortgage free wannabe board. (when there is a challenge, there is often a list of people who are joining in, so no.6 just means they were the 6th person to join the challenge).

    Hope that helps! Any others you come across, just yell!

    You're definitely in the right place - I love DebtFree Wannabe, I think it's the friendliest forum on the internet. I've made some really good friends here.

    It all looks a bit confusing and daunting for the first few days, but you will quickly get used to it and feel right at home!

    Try maybe joining in one of the daily chat threads (Immoral Angel usually starts one every day), we talk about everything from debt, to life in general over a 'virtual' cup of tea.

    And then if you're feeling brave, the Saturday night party threads are fun if you haven't got enough money for real life socialising!

    Other than that, just jump in and post on any thread that interests you - we're a pretty friendly lot, and will do our best to welcome you.
