Hey, guys... I think we should establish the difference between 'n00b' and 'newbie'.. the former is indeed someone who has a tendency to write in an illiterate manner, who is considered rude and obnoxious and simply refuses to settle into the way of the KM Community, and the latter is just a new member who seems to enjoy being here, is liked, but hasn't been here long 😄
n00b doesn't only refer to rotten spelling and blah blah blah, leet talk, etc. It also refers to someone that talks crap out of his ass about things he doesn't know, or tries to get involved into something he does know anything about.
For example, if i were to play a multiplayer game with alcoholicpoet 1vs1 starcraft, i'd prolly start calling him:
1. a newb if he were just new
2. a newb if after being beaten repeatedly he'd still be insisting he knows how to play the game 😛
