Im jsut wondering, this came up between a couple of my friends, how long does it take until oyur not a noob anymore?

You? You'll be a noob forever. Internet protocol dictates that those who ask "How long will I be a noob for?" will be noobs forever.

To me, noobs are either newbies who haven't posted much or don't even know how to work some of the stuff, or people who are being purposely stupid.

Fine line between newbie and n00b.

Definition of a newbie:

A newbie is someone who is new to a particular concept, and learns from others who aren't newbies. He/she will make mistakes, but people will forgive him/her for these, as the person is new, and doesn't not know whats right and wrong. Like a babie. Once you have a grasp of the concept, you are no longer a newbie.

Definition of a n00b:

Someone who is familiar with the concept, however chooses to act in a manner that would make him/her look like a new person. Deliberately making mistakes/changing rules for own purposes. A n00b will always justify that it is not a n00b, by countering with a arguement along the lines of "but i've been doing this for years". The arguement will be irrelevent, as the n00b callers (those calling n00b a n00b), will counter with "act like it then". The n00b will continue the pathetic arguement, proving once again - it doesn't matter how long you've been doing it you can still act like a pratt when doing it.

Thats my explanation anyway.

Usage of the word "n00b" or other variations of it is a sign of an erectile disfunction.

How did you come to this conclusion - more importantly what does it have to do with the topic?

I thought that there was some guidlines somewhere stating that you are a noob until you have been a member for 100 days and have been posting somewhat regulary!

*pulls something totally random out of his @$$*

if you can pass the drunk MC test ( Basically whether or not MC can recognize your user name when he is drunk ) your no longer a newbie .

i've passed that one before

I totally loathe the word 'noob'.

Really?
well, now we know your weakness
*cough*
i mean...no we don't...we know nothing...nothing at all...
*cough*

Does it really matter? I mean, new or not to this site.... we're all as welcome as each other(unless we do wrong!!)

Bit of a pointless dicussion really, in my opinion anyways

Yes... Everyone is welcome here! But don't be too n00b!
But if you are a n00b, you have to worship leet... Or 1337... Oh! I hate that word!

yeah and the word uber. too many ppl that call themselves leet use that word way too many times

If you think you are a noob you are a noob

It shouldn`t matter if you are new or not, everyone is welcome here and should be treated right regardless of how long they have been here!
