I was looking through the user list and it looks like a lot of people registered on Code Review (the main site, not meta) already have a reputation score of 101 without having participated on this site whatsoever. Is this a residual score calculated from their participation on other Stack Exchange sites?

Correct -- you get +100 bonus reputation on any new site in the Stack Exchange network, so long as you have +200 rep somewhere in the network.
Since you start with 1 rep, that means you end up with +101 rep total.

\$\begingroup\$ Thanks for clarifying. This is my first time on a SE site (if you don't count Stack Overflow). I'm relatively new there, too. \$\endgroup\$– 65Fbef05Feb 17, 2011 at 12:54
