newb, noob, n00b, nub....
these have to be the dumbest words EVER... you can't play a game of cs (counter-strike), or read a forum without some idiot saying this god-awful word... i don't see how being new at something (hence being a "noob") makes your opinions less credible (in the case of forums) or your skills weaker (in the case of cs) than others. people who use the word newb clearly have some sort of superiority complex. my theory is that there are 2 types of people who like to throw this word around...
1) those individuals cannot succeed socially in the real world, but have worked their way to a high position in the online community and are dishing out the same abuse that they recieve in real life.
2) people who are indeed new to the online community and try to gain credibility and acceptance by putting others down, thus making themselves look like an experienced and respectable member of the online community...
i play a lot of cs, so i just use that as an example... anyone who plays knows what i'm talking about... a rookie player makes a rookie mistake and you see stuff like:
"what a fucking noob"
"noobs suck"
"fucking noob teammates"
i know that if i were playing hockey instead of cs, and some idiot lashed out at his team or an opponent like that, they'd be tuned right there on the ice. what gives people the right to put others down like that? these elitists wouldn't be talking so big if they weren't hiding behind some anonymous nickname in their parent's basement.
and this problem isn't limited to cs... i see a lot of people on this forum lashing out at "newbs". yes, they are NEW to the forum, and yes, they might ask some questions that seem dumb... its gotten to the point where people are AFRAID to ask questions or express an opinion for fear of being flamed... i see a lot of posts that start like this.
"sorry for the noob question. please don't flame me...."
this isn't right. people shouldn't have to live in fear like this...
quiet n00blar! j/k...
elitism has always been a part of the online community. Even back in the days of 2400 baud modems and logging on to BBSes, there were already "elite" communtiies forming, hence the term "l33t", and "lamers" hence "llammas"
Meh, those CS noob bashers are prolly just bored suburban teenage dorks with nothing better to do. Its not like those insults hurt. Oh wow, you're so much more skilled at video games than I am. I'm so hurt. :P
yes you're right, just get sick and tired of damn hub threads and audiogalaxy shit 
but i've never called anyone a n00b i don't think

n00bs = the dudes that call me a cheater in Rogue Spear: Urban Operations.
n00bs are the one's that whine when they lose 'cuz they lack the skill and understanding of the game. n00bs are not necessarily the 'newbies' who just started playing the game. It has entirely everything to do with they way they hold themselves after they lose.
just 'cuz I'm the 1337 k!110r/R4p0r in rogue spear, doesn't mean I cheat. n00bs teh suck. :-)
its true, most of the time its the newcommers that do most of the shit-talking.
i think its funny when i'll be playing a game and someone will call me a n00b then i kick their ass and they have nothing to say. I'll be like.... so, who's the "n00b" now sucker? Then some will be like you cheater. I hate how people think u cheat if u are better than them its so gay.
anyone better than me at UO has to be a h4x0r
that word h4x0r is g4y0r too
yeah the word 'n00b' is so freaken annoying. cs community is bunch of losers. When i was playing quake3, no one called me a n00b or called anyone a n00b. sad that cs ppl think that is god's gift. another word is hate is PWN.. its so freaken stupid, i mean own is good but c'mon pwn.. thats so lame.. "PWN3D!!!" its like stfu u 12 year old .. or stfu u 26 year old that doesnt ahve a job. blah.

its funny that most of the n00b calling comes from CS. CS is such a newb game anyways. Thats why it was so popular. Didnt' take much to get good at it. CS =
a bunch of guys getting in a big firefight, people die, ends up with one guy hiding behind a box, and another guy hiding behind the exact same box on the other side of the map.
I was never impressed watching "skilled" CS players play. Q2 and WC3 are a different story.

what the fack does that mind
the problem is not within the CS community, the problem is within our society. people just put down each other too often because they think they're better then everyone else.
thus we always bash djs, and cuz of that, gielen doesn't come in the chatroom anymore
