\"HOW C0m3 1 C4N\'7 |<1ll st00F????????????!!!!!!!!!!!11111111\"
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 :\\)

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.

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

newbie = good
noob = bad

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

IMHO

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

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...
