At times I've thought of other users as "noobs" or "newbies," but never in the bad sense that flamers tend to use the word. I simply think of it as a description of that person's status, which can change with their first post, depending on what was in it. For example, if NewMember joins the forum and starts a thread titled "What's teh release date for Hlao 2?" [note that I didn't misspell words on purpose. I just didn't correct all of my own mistakes], I'll think of them as a noob. I won't think they're stupid for being so, just simply that they are new to the forums and don't know all that much about Halo 2. If someone else doesn't beat me to it, I'll politely explain it to them and ask them to do a search (oh wait, they can't do that . . . yet ;) ).
Still, I don't call people noobs, since it might offend them. But I hope people won't take offense if I think so.
Just my thoughts,
Poocho :)
You nailed it, when I say "no0b" that is exactly what I mean. You guys know i say it a lot. But when I say "n0ob" this is what I mean, Rookie. Thats all I mean. I'm not trying to start a flame war. But I prefer the septagon to the underground simply because there are alot less "rookies." Anyways just thought I'd get that across and make amends for my previous posts that were interpreted incorecctly
