Islander has a point about trying to get more comments out of the Newcomers page. There's a lot more traffic there.
You may be new to DB, but you ought to read through a few of the threads in Newcomers and put in a comment here and there, even if it's just to say you understand. (Just be careful not to hijack anyone's thread.) We all appreciate support and encouragement, and most people will reciprocate by stopping by your thread.
