It would actually be of no Validity, for the fact it is unofficial and is an unaimed opinion, at best.Anyhow, the date you registered doesn't matter. Look at my previous analogy.
Just because something isn't official doesn't mean that there isn't some validity in it. For instance if I was to say n00b means you smell like dog poo, everyone would start to bash me and say that's wrong, therefore that would mean my definition was invalid/wrong. So yes popularity does have some validity in what the term is for that word. We may have different views on what the terms n00b/newb is, fair enough, but even our terms are slightly similar, the similarity meaning something to do with new.

Newbie is someone who is new to something. That is THE meaning. It is in the Dictionary book and on Dictionary.com.
Why have another word for it, you say?
Maybe because "Noob" is a similar meaning, only different.
An Opinion/Theory holds NO validity until proven. ZERO.
You could be the dumbest person in the world and be registered here at '00. I could be Einstein and have registered two days ago. Get the drift?

Actually according to dictionary.com the term newbie stand for what we both perceived the words n00b and newb to mean.
(e.g. One that is new to something, especially a novice at using computer technology or the Internet./Any new participant in some activity)
I'd suggest then that both the words n00b/newb are slang for newbie.
