I like Skeptic Apprentice or just New Skeptic. Speaking from a purely personal standpoint, I would have hated being listed under any derogatory title simply due to being a new poster to the forums. Even if the title is given in jest, the least likely people to get the joke would be those who are new posters.
Negative titles will disuade some new people from joining the Skeptic Friends Network, which would seem counter-productive.

Ummmmmmmmmmm… Why?
Everything H. Humbert said.
Plus, SFN is a skeptic site. We are not an anti-christian or an atheist site as that title might suggest. The title “Fundy” would no doubt play into the prejudices some people have about us… |

| I agree, wasn't very serious about the proposal. Skeptic apprentice was another one I came up with this morning (only to discover H. Humbert already beat me to it). |

Humbert at 3.01, Atomic at 2.53, Filthy at 2.14 and Peptide at 2.05. I expect some of these numbers to decline soon because most of these folks are new members.
What, and rid you all of my presence? You wish. Thanks for the recognition, though That shows how much of a life I have (not)  ...
Anyways. As for the beginner of beginners title, I'd suggest Skeptic Apprentice. Skeptic Pet should go to Verlch dear, the fundie we all love
I like the Skeptic Apprentice. Skeptic Pet seems a little nice for verlch. I would suggest Irrational Shitstirrer. verlch is our favorite uberfundie(tm). (once I figure out umlauds, I'm gonna be dangerous.) |

I agree. A designation of fundie(tm) promotes an air of superiority/closed mindedness. We're trying to encourage discourse. Perhaps Skeptic Aquantaintance?

Überfundie. Uberfündie. Überfündie. 
Ah, harkens back to the good ol' days of heavy metal, when umlauts were just about required for a band name. Had the SFN started back then, this place might have been the Skeptïc Friënds Netwörk.quote:

I'm a programmer, too. Well, now I'm a programmer/editor, so I've got to stay on top of both games.
