Fanboy is more often used to indirectly describe another community entirely, such as Sony Defense Force. However, the words, "noob,""nub,""nublet,""noo bie," and so on, can only be used in a negative connotation. Also, "noob" is a much more relative term than fanboy is. Fanboy can actually be backed up with a users comments, or by using information from another site.
Ex. fanboy
New Player, lvl 20 says, "What's better the BR or the AR?"
MLG Hardcore, lvl 700 goes, "WTF NOOB, YOU STUUPID"
Obviously that is only a silly question to the hardcore player because he is a freak of nature.
Ex. fanboy
New Player, lvl 20 says, "Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3?"
MLG Hardcore, lvl 700 replies "WTFBBQ HALO 3 ROX YOU SuX!!!"
New Player, lvl 20 replies, "Fanboy."
Whether or not it might be slightly offensive, it's still objective, and a true statement.
