N00b=Someone who is extremely annoying, bothersome, stupid, and irrational. Does not get jokes. Repeats same question multiple times. Wonders why it can\'t kill everything instantly. Does not Role-play

\"What\'s a for?\"
Newb(ie)=Can\'t RP (or can, depends), but tries. Helpful, just new, so it doesn\'t know much. Attempts to fit in. Makes a mistake once, only once (usually). Nice person.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N00b
Noob or n00b (Correct 1337 spelling is //006)

The term \"noob\"(or \"n00b\") is almost always meant to be offensive. A noob or n00b is a newbie who claims to know a lot about a subject, but really does not. They often show off their false skills to gain a reputation. The term was first used in hacker groups on the BBS chat systems in the 70\'s.

The spelling noob or n00b, while originally having a specific meaning, is now genrally used to refer to all forms of newbies. Usually in a negative manner.

wikipedia is great for these things, they even have a whole leet dictionary :D :P

(ok, i was wrong.. noob and newbie aren\'t the same :\\)

Post by: Davis on January 12, 2004, 04:24:15 am: Yes, I\'ve been to wikipedia, I have a print-out of their entry on leetspeak 3 and a half feet behind me. The one thing I found shaky about it was the definition of n00b. They got the offensive thing right, but a n00b rarely claims to know a lot about anything, except hacking n00bs.

Post by: LockStock on January 13, 2004, 08:08:13 am: can someone help me out with this then?

or
is a noob someone who thinks there the king at a game but are really pretty crap and annoying.

also is being called a noob or whatever a real insult?, like some ppl take it pretty seriously ive seen
Title:
Post by: hook on January 13, 2004, 10:31:02 am: well, in my eyes the difference is that a noob/n00b is someone who behaves like a buttmunch
and a noobie/newbie is just someone who\'s new

Post by: Rulzern on January 13, 2004, 12:17:38 pm: newbie = good
noob = bad

note that a noob doesn\'t have to be new to the game.

IMHO

Post by: Kixie on January 13, 2004, 01:51:58 pm: hehe yah i have had a n00b say he was really new to the game and he asked for 3000 gold in Pristontale. I looked up his account though and he was half a year old....

\'noob\' comes from newbie ;)

It\'s derived from newbie, and the definitions have some similarities, but it\'s not the same.

IMHO
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 13, 2004, 05:38:12 pm: I never said n00b = newbie... if you look at the second post in this thread I said something different...
I\'m saying n00b must be new to something... as in not experienced...
Title:
Post by: Caldazar on January 13, 2004, 05:45:38 pm: I can\'t believe that we\'re discussing this.. what\'s the point? People that are n00bs won\'t accept the fact that they are, and newbies doesn\'t worry about it.
Title:
Post by: Davis on January 14, 2004, 04:58:24 am: That\'s not true. \"I\'M NEW CANN I HVE GP???!!!\"
^^^

My definition pwns all.

Post by: Moogie on January 14, 2004, 10:53:09 am: These words mean different things to different people. They arn\'t \"real\" words (wikipedia isn\'t a dictionary :P) and so don\'t have any one specific meaning.

They\'re just what you make of them. :) You newbies! Hehe.
