Any objections to me moving it to Meta?
I don't mind, not that it matters much.
Unfortunately I still can't come up with any suitable nominations. All notable newbies that I recall are sockpuppets. This probably says more about me than the actual state of the forum - I'm sure there are great genuine noobs hiding somewhere.
There has to be -- we just don't go to those places. Things that excite us are boring to noobs. We have no idea what the noobs find exciting. Part of the aging process.
The benefit of moving it to Meta is that it will be seen by a fresh set of eyes who (wisely, most likely) steer clear of the Reputation section.
