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 . |

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. |

n00b used to be the "cute" form of newbie...
I miss those days. I went on to Neopets to the newbie board to help anyone out and didn't directly call them a n00b, not like "Hey, you... n00b!" but in a way that was like "helps for n00bs, and i was bad-mouthed way out..

n00b = insult-like
newbie = affectionate term Read that somewhere. They're used interchangeably now, so it doesn't really matter, I suppose. |

I don't know, but in my opinion.
I think of n00b as they are new. But know some around here, just little. Also I think of Newbie as like they don't know anything at all. They don't know the rules/directions at all. |

i think they have different meanings..
a noob is someone that has been on something for a long time... and still doesn't know anything at all. I think they are stupid. a newbie is someone that's new and learning how to be on something or do something.. but they still don't really know anything at all...yet. |

Well ive been playing tons of games since like 2nd grade. Ive noticed when someone calls you a n00b, they mean, you suck leave we hate you learn to play. When someone calls you a newb, they USUALLY mean that you're new, and you need to learn some basics. Both LITERALLY mean the same thing, just meaning different things.
Like blowjob and giving head....cept in that case both are kinda good XP |
