Welcome to the Newbie Q of the Day Awards. This is a showcase of the most frightening and unexpected questions and statements by the experts themselves: Newbies. We have been entertained many times by the unusual questions they can throw at us. Never more should such gems be forgotten. To comment or add a funny Newbie Q you saw, PM me.

Do you think you\'re a master answerer of newbie questions of the likes of Moogie or Xenia? Well here\'s a collection of Q\'s to make even you say ?!

Some of these are pretty good for a chuckle but please keep in mind that new people make mistakes so don\'t go out of your way to poke fun or be malicious about it.  Try to laugh with people and not at them ( except for the guy that \'pirated\' it off of kazaa, you can probably laugh at him  :) ).

Well in that case... :D

Not like I\'ve been laughing at it ever since I read that post  8)

Post by: Xalthar on September 10, 2003, 08:30:54 am
yea, we laugh with the newbies, but at the n00bs :D :P

It\'s great to have a place like this to post the occasional newbie question, for a bit of fun. But it\'s the most fun when some n00b makes a fool of himself (which happens quite often if you ask me :P) and laugh at him...

It\'s simply amazing how ignorant people are able to be :P

actually it might be a pretty smart idea. How much bandwidth could you save if PS was distributed through edonkey2000 or BiTorrent ?
that\'s how P2P is supposed to be used, except people forget about it because 99% of traffic is used by pirated files.



Anyway, very good thread !

downloading from kazaa maybe not a such a bad idea

but still the fact that he says \"pirated\" makes him a newb  :)

actually I can bring up something I was saying, it\'s pretty blury to me what exactly I said, it\'s what I actually saw.  I saw a weird texture on a Diabolo and I was running around asking this person how he managed to change his skin for the game.  I asked everyone around if they saw it.  Later I found out that it\'s one of the skin possibilities.  Me felt so dum dum

Don\'t worry Acraig I\'d hate to offend a potential PS fan ;) . The awards have all been received in good humour.

Very hilarious thread.  I hope you guys keep maintaining it.  :-)

Maybe people will find it more interesting to read than a FAQ (which a lot of people never seem to glance at.)

By the way I LIKE THIS THREAD makes me laugh  :))
