No no Winterheaven, as some of us stated, being a newbie isn\'t all about how long you have been here. I consider someone a newbie if they are immature and useless to the community. Examples of this are people such as Levski. He hasn\'t been here a long time but he came to this thread and had an intelligent conversation. In my book he is not a newbie, nor would I consider you a newbie because you could do the same. Yes I will always feel less friendly towards people who haven\'t been here as long but I don\'t disregard them just because they are new. The sad truth is that most new players are immature and come here only to spam and flame other players, so the term newbie becomes a negative term.
That\'s why a lot of people make a distinction between newb and n00b.
newb-new person
n00b-jackass
Nobody \"discriminates\" against newbs, but what\'s wrong with discriminating against jackasses?
