LoyceV keeps very good statistics on newbies. I think you OP should take a closer look at it. Besides the three users you mentioned, I am convinced that there are many more candidates. And they are also noteworthy as their merit rises every month. You can imagine who and how he will define himself in the future.
I would just list all the newcomers on that list and congratulate the forum with people who sincerely come here and contribute a lot of useful information.
This is a very positive trend. We hope to see more posters like these next year.
