The Newsies Geek Code

A Newsies Geek Code, inspired by the common practice of creating Geek Codes, was created by fan Wish in 2003.https://web.archive.org/web/20040710073053/http://www.valaseren.com/newsies/geekcode.php 
== Instructions ==
To start off the code write down: [Start Newsies Geek Code V.1.0] 
So your Newsies Code does not get out of control and overpowers your siggy, you should limit the characters in your Code to the necessary few that you want to tell the world your feelings about.
=== Modifiers ===
Use these modifiers with the character codes following:
--- 	Cannot tolerate this character at all. Period.

- 	Wish this character wasn't on screen as much.
0 or plain code	No real feelings either way about this character.
+ 	Like this character.

If you put down more than one song, you can distinguish which ones you like better than the other by putting a + in front of it. If only one of the songs happens to be your all time favorite (as in it's practically your theme song) put +++ after it.
=== Personal ===
If you want to pay tribute to Dominic Lucero (Bumlets):DOM=1LUV
If you belong to the Newsies Mailing List: NML(year you joined)
Male: M
Female: F
DOB: Year of your birth ::I put this instead of age because it saves time instead of updating your code each year you get older::
LOCATION: Put down your state's initials, or the first three letters of the country you live in
$FTP: If you have a Newsies FTP site
$L/G: If you post on Newsies lists/groups (i.e, NML, Newsies Crusade, etc.)
$BBS: If you have a Newsies-related BBS/web board
$PIC: If you have Newsies pictures (fan art, screen caps)
$MP3: If you have Newsies mp3/midis
$WEB: If you have a Newsies web site.
$o: Other
And if you're very spiffy, you can add in links to your site/group.
Example: <a href="http:www.yoursite.com">$WEB</a>
If you have more than one site just put a number after each $WEB ($WEB1, $WEB2...etc.)
And just to distinguish yourself even more from other newsie fans, add your own signature phrase. Like, "Stalking one inbox at a time with Skittery at my side." And please no biting off of other peoples catch phrases. Be original! You don't want people getting pissed off. For example, don't use my phrase and replace Skitts with another character and say "Oh but it's different." Uh-uh, think again.
Next put your NN (Newsie Name)
=== Example ===
End your Newsie Code with: [End of Newsies Geek Code V.1.0]
[Start Newsies Geek Code V.1.0]
