- - n00b info (http://www.bvlist.com/showthread.php?t=8039)

ok over the last couple of weeks some people have been taking offence over the word "n00b", just some info for these people unaware

we,they,us are not calling you a knob,dick, penis,

n00b = newbie
1) A person who is new
2) A person who, regardless of experience, lacks the skill or competence to be competitive in a certain thing
3) Someone who tends to whine or complain when being beaten - often done by accussing more skilled opponents of hacking
4) One who may talk trash, claiming to be elite, only to be beaten down by a better n00bs, or will turn down when challenged by better folks.

:drink:

now I have seen everything, a guide to actually explain to people what a n00b is.

This is so simple, if notepad+ is not on your computer then your a n00b

if you don't know php spelled backwards is still php, your a n00b.

if you think cpanel is a typing mistake, then your a n00b.

if you can't navigate around these forums to try and learn the answer to your problem, then your a n00b.

if your scared to run a sql query then your a n00b.

if you think you can run a tracker on ANY free hosting, then your a n00b.

if you open up a page of code, and have no idea what your looking at, your a n00b.

if your offended by being called a n00b, then do what most of us did when we got here, read. Then read again.

If you can find the shoutbox on bvlist but not the search link, yep you guessed it your a n00b.

and lastly....

if your offended by being called a n00b, then your a n00b. Get used to it, because no matter who you are, you were a n00b at one time or another, the only one I know that came out of their mom coding is joerobberts.

Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing.

Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage.

n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own.

Noobs are often referred to as n00bs, ^_^

Why would people be offended by nOOb, it's better than nob lmfao

this is the whole point they think they are being called a knob

lol well if they can't tell the difference I think they need to go to opticians :lol:
