Let me clarify...
Ahem... :cough: /me clears throat... Is the formal connotation of n00b much more negative to you than newbie is? From the beginning of I time, n00b is a describer word for new people. Some take offense. Is this a meaningless quarrel or a dogmatic statement? Wow. I used some words. I thought I'd get away with gobbled stihique on here, seeing as most people on here are un-edumacated. roffle. |

if some one calls you a nOOb they are probably trying to insult you....but if they are using the word n00b still they are probably a newbie trying to be a nub idiot.
newbie is just some one thats new, i dont find it insulting |

Newbie can be both welcoming and insulting, depends on how you take it. n00b is mostly insulting.

 what do you think it says....if so obvious. Group: Member Posts: 1,838 Joined: Sep 2004 Member No: 52,420 |
newbie - clarifying a person who is new to a faction/group/game etc .
n00b- a deep negative insult to a person who is completely usless idiotic and stupid , based on the faction/group/game etc. but both can actually be used the same way ...its based on the person who has said it . |

noob is a rude way of saying "newbie" and "newbie" is a nice way of saying "noob"

In neopets, you can call yourself a n00b. Har.
Anyways, newbie&n00b is all the same to me. |

They're the same, and I think other "newbs" feel insulted.

a n00b is a inexperienced and/or ignorant or unskilled person. Especially used in computer games.
a newbie is someone new... ya know? lol |

To me, the n00bs are the asshats of the internet. They're newbies but 400 times stupider.
Newbies are just people that are new to something on the internet. That's basically what I've always gone by. |
