N00BS

[la-ur-en]

why is it in every room i go into someone is getting called

a n00b? Ive had enough of this and i would just like 2 say WHOEVER CALLS ANOTHER HABBO

N00BS ARE JUST IMMATURE N00BS THMSELVES IF NOT THAT MORE OF A N00B THAN THE NEW HABBO... if

you think its funny just think of how they feel? i've been into plenty of rooms and ive

never been into one without someone getting called a n00b.. think about it logically, if it

wasnt for these so called 'n00bs' we would all be 'n00bs' ourselves... we would have

nobody to teach whats safe and not... instead of callin them n00bs cause there new why dont

u try and tell them whats right and wrong instead of judgeing them for wanting to enjoy the

same way we do on the hotel

I have seen alot of 'anti-noob' rooms, i would have found these really offensive if i was new in the hotel...
its not called 'mature' habbos who call other habbos 'noobs'
its called 'S****' cause all they are doing is looking down on others!

Thanx

[lukeisok]

I Tottaly Aggree Lu-ar-en You On My Friend List. lol.

[Moose]

people who call people noobs anre S****.

[GommeInc]

Sad as it seems, some people are called noobs when they are trying to scam people, stealing stuff etc they deserve it but not a poor helpless new kind not doing anything wrong habbo.

[Motorollo]

new members on habbo/x are not noobs iam so sick of this people not getting time to know someone just saying u noob :@

[F13]

ugh i hate that too when people call me a noob cuz i ain't hc or got no furni but i know more then them about habbo!

[Adzeh]

ok. your post is un-readable as all it basically says is n00b. chill out. if habbos want to call others n00bs it is their choice. it isnt a particularly offensive word otherwise it would be in the bobba filter. also habbo ltd have used the word in one of their polls.

[GommeInc]

ugh i hate that too when people call me a noob cuz i ain't hc or got no furni but i know more then them about habbo!

You are probably extremely wise not buying HC and Furni, waste of money on imaginary currency and pixels.

[Mentor]

i think this problem arrises becuse, wehn a "noob" enters a room and see otehr mebsr amybe callling someon anoob, they instaly think its an insult of some kind, saying there dumb or somthing, rather than the truth thats there simply being called a newby, somone who has yet to learn all the ins and out of it so, it tend to be tonly the actaly noobs, who sit there calling other new mebsr noobs.... if that made any sences at all.

[la-ur-en]

No offence, but i don't really understand any of your messages, maybe if you typed properly i would understand what you were typing, other wise no, i cannot understand what you meant by that!

Calling someone a noob, is just as offensive as calling someone any of those filtered words, i say, dont call people noobs, and they wont call you s**** ;)

what? Noob ,means newbie, as in new at somthing? used proply its not offenecive. I call my self a php noob, cuz im new to it and dont know how to use it well yet? thats all noob means? its only when "noobs" end up thinking its sume sort of insult?

[GommeInc]

I was going to say something but I felt when I everyone agreed not to

[Mentor]

I was going to say something but I felt when I everyone agreed not to
im cofnused. anyway, using noob as an insult is only doen by people who are the real noobs. wich is roghly what i said above. its liek teh word ignorat, people who are ignoat of its true meaing think its an insult, rather than it just meaning there unaware of a certain fact...

[GommeInc]

Saying someone is a noob isnt offensive, the person thinking it is offensive is the evil one.

[Mentor]

Saying someone is a noob isnt offensive, the person thinking it is offensive is the evil one.
Ok im now just confused.
Anyway Noob isnt an offncive word or ment to be. its only the real "noobs" that use it like that so others who see them doing that mis use it themselves.
Anyway everyone was a noob at some point, they dint majily know ther way around habbo and all it fetures the secionds they started. same wit otehr things

[David1-2-3]

Very Good , I get what you mean , If you call someone A nOOb your probably one yourself :p . Anyway how do you know if your a n00b in real life or not.

[annabanana]

I would call someone a 'newbie' rather then a noob. Not to offend them, its like my cousin has just joined habbo so he is a newbie.

[GommeInc]

I call em newb know, looks less like what noob looks like it is spelt but with a K and missing an O

[Mentor]

noobs easyer to type, and im lazy. anyway noob is more common, if your new your a noob, when u know what your doing your not. we all strate as noobs, and progress. if i ask a question on a script i know nothing baout all often call myslef a noob. aka "im a noob at this, but what exscatly doies that do?" ist people who wil anser a quetsion liek taht with "noob" that are the noobs, otherwaize why would the be starting to ovios.
Plus althog hpeopel actaly say noobs now its ment to be said in the soudn out like. "nooo " (ooo sound) then" B" (Bee sound)

[GommeInc]

Technically, noob is a word that dosnt exist, newb is short for newbie and people calling people noobs are basically calling people a mans never regions as that is techinically an easier way to say that particualr word. Newb is obviously short for newbie and it should spelt liked that and not noob as noob is probably not a word that can relate to anything.

[Mentor]

noobs the corect term, even thogh it goes back to the tiem when everyone used l33+ . and was spelt n00b. its ment to sound like the word when said coretcly, not be an abrivition.

[GommeInc]

it isnt a bad word, people just get too offended easily.

[Mentor]

i dont realy think any words bad, they can just be used badly, the only people who use the word noob badly, are the ones who are noobs

[GommeInc]

Exactly, newbs/noobs is just a word to say you are new at something.

[Ryo976]

Your taking it too far its just a word kindve like a post i did in the bobba filter, Its how you interpret it. Anyway It helps keep the habbo pupulation down :) Because if everyone that made a character stayed forever habbo would be even more laggy and too crowded. Overall im dissapointed that it is wrong to call another a noob but im also proud because it keeps the habbo population from over flowing. Anyway thats this old dogs opinion.

[SundayPaper]

i get called a newb/noob all the time and i been on habbo for a year now!
:@ its starting to make me real mad
they only call u noob cause u dont have *rares* or furni sp they think ur a noob :(

[Ryo976]

Oh well life goes on.. So what? They call me a "newbie" on the forum even though I've been reading it since mizki was site owner.... :) or something clos to that... Well anyway thats this old dogs' opinion

[nvrspk4]

It depends on how you use n00b. Its not really nice either way but it can be used in a way thats not mean. For instance a boyscout rank is "Newbie" Being new to something is ok but it might be better to find out if they ARE new rather than judging by their compusure or how they act ;)

[Ryo976]

Yea i geuss your right but its nothing to get upset over... :'(

IF the habbo poulation iuncresed, they would make more money, therefir being abable to get better hosting, and supply more and more space and speed. so the room on habbo would incres with the members

Thats just actal noobs misusing the word.

[GommeInc]

Lol so true people thinking it is another word for mans long horn lol, it means FOR THE LAST TIME, NEWBIE = NEWB/NOOB.

[Mentor]

Ok now no offnce, but u would have to be a pervert to draw that meaning from it... straneg you should bring it up gomme.... 0.o

[la-ur-en]

Okay, some of you have made some good points. However the fact still remains that habbo's around the hotel are feeling like outcasts, this is not fair.
Everyone hates being called names, no matter what name it is.

Habbo Ltd may have used it in one of there polls, but it has also been in the newsie, that calling people noobs is rude and unwelcoming.

Anyway, i just wanted to bring up the subject on how i meant it, thanx...

[GommeInc]

I go around Runescape saying any newbs come with me or anyone new come with me, I take them to Varrock for free and I give them free food!

Its alot hard on habbo though, as we cannot make food, weapons, money etc.

[j8m!e]

I think the worf 'n00b is gettin way outta control people shud use it less

[Mentor]

The word noob is a good word its simply newbie. Its only when teh real noobs dont know its meaing and use it wrong.

[Matty]

I bet alot of you have called someone a n00b in your habbo life.

[GommeInc]

Yes, and?

It means NEWBIE, noobish noobs only think of it as an offensive word, because they're noobs

[Mentor]

ive called people noobs even before i joined habbo? ive called myslef a noob at thinsg before? its not an insult?

[GommeInc]

he means a newbie to trading and I call it newb not noob, thats probably the problem with the word

[Pulchritudinous]

I really don't think it matters, like someone said life goes on...

[GommeInc]

is it not just a few words?

[Mentor]

is it not just a few words?
nope. noobs only one word.

i stil odnt undertand how people seem to think its a abdf word thogh

[GommeInc]

Neither do I, in reality it is 4 letters simulized to look like a bad word and to lead people to think it is a bad word full stop.

Thanx

I think you are a n00b, because n00b = newbie, and theres no harm in saying that - which you obviously didnt know, so you are new to that phrase.
Some people would like to create a room where they are not botherd by new people asking them questions, but equally I have seen help centers for n00bs (aka newbies).

[G-flow]

i totally agree with f13. I also find that some ( not all ) Hc people look down on non-hc people and decide to have parties and kik non-hcs. whats that about? Discrimination!!!!! I know its not a big deal but still..

[Mit]

i guess n00bs is just a cuss everyone uses because it like the normal thing to say!

[Mentor]

noob is the normal thing to say if your talkin gto one, but only a noob would say it to an exsparinced user.

ps. i agree with frontslide that some hc do seem to be deluded in to thinking there better than non hc, it can be quite annoying, epecly since hc can hide ther badges and therefor pretned to be non hc and get stuff at fiurni give aways. if people by hc they should be forced to have the badge, stupid as it looks

Excuse me, i am anything but a noob, i know what the term 'noob' means, it means newbie, but people use it as an offensive word, if they were saying it as a joke like 'lol u stupid noob' that is fine, but if theyre saying 'shut up/get lost noob' that is offensive, and i'm sure u would also be very offended if u were called a noob at this day, because obviously you know alot about habbo to make smart remarks to people who have been on since 2001, and since when have you been on? im sure you wouldnt like being called a noob yourself. Thanks

[Convictions]

lau-re-n chill out, N00b/Newb/noob is just short for newbie, it aint offensive, ive been called allsorts of stuff but i just took it in my stride ;)

[GommeInc]

La-ur-en you are a n00b!

You think n00b is offensive when it is only short for Newbie. There fore making you a n00b for not knowing what a word is making you a n00b.

[Mentor]

Only a n00b would think noob is offencie, and only a noob would use it a an offencive term, some people may get angry and call somoene a stupid noob beceuse they keep aksing dumb questions, wich i dont think is wrong if your new to habbo read teh faq rather than bother members, even thogh i woulnt say theres much to learn the habbo syetsm seems pretty self explanitory.
if someone calls you a noob and your ovioly not, there not only a noob there a hypocrit, if you takle it as a secios insult its problay true?

[Mr.Kylee]

Noob-newb first wasnt offencive word..but people made it that way..since half of them don't even know what it means..and they call you it. Sadness..

[Adzeh]

true... it really isnt an offensive word, people just use it because it isnt filtered within the hotel and its the only particular offensive that they can use within habbo

[GommeInc]

LOL she isnt talking on here anymore cos we found out that she is a n00b.

[la-ur-en]

LOL she isnt talking on here anymore cos we found out that she is a n00b.

Oh, you know what?
Think what you want... You can't call me a noob? I might be a so called 'noob' on these forums, but im not a 'noob' on habbo, and i am also not a 'noob' in other forums...

Okay, i know it is not an actual 'offensive' word, but it can be offensive, most people who use it make it offensive...

technily speking you are a n00b its in your rank, athogh is dont quite understand what its got to do in that context :/ if noobs dont post cuz there noobs no one wil ever not be noobs :s

[GommeInc]

Yes but La-ur-en, when people use it offensively, they are n00bs too, think of it like this

YOU N00B is what someone may say...

The change it in your mind to

YOU NEWBIE,

Then it dosnt seem offensive, I dont need to change it in my mind as i dont see n00b offensive.

[Hippygurl101]

Just a thought.. Havent you actually realised how sad it actually is to point at someone and laugh saying the equivilent off 'Haha Your new' .Its like those stupid kids at school who like say that to the new kid at school. And you just know everyones looking at these people going 'O.o you stupid new person haha' and thinking how truely sad they are.
We also know that the 'New' kid may actually be pretty insulted by this.. and I permit that this is just like habbo.

[Mentor]

noob is prenounced newbie. N oooooo Beee .

It means nowbie. If someone uses tahts your new as an insult why would u realy wnat to be firneds with them? most of them are just idiots who pretend to be cool, and insted prove how sad they realy are.
If you new, your a noob, its not an insult, it means your new, Every single person on the hotel was once a noob, and single person who has done or did anything was alos once a noob? Evereyone has been a noob at some point. So how can it possibly be an insult?

[Clo]

Yes, when my hc club runs out i go into a trading room. And if hc's don't like my offer they start to critisise and call me a n00b just because i don't have hc. They should grow up a bit

[Mentor]

Most people in hc are n00bs. serioly, most exsparined players quite hc as ist just a waist of money, when u can get teh rairs anyway. they think hc makes them specal? why pay any attention to a couple of idoits who dont know what the word noob means.

[Hippygurl101]

Again with the pronounciation.
Im not saying people want to be friends with others who call them Noobs.. who would want to be?
It becomes an insult when people write you off with this one word without even considering who you are. I know lots of people who are not new on habbo, who have been on for a while and are great people but others write them off without even knowin them because they may not act so great or look. No 'Hey' Or 'Hello' but 'Hey whos tht Noob yuor with'. If thats not insulting to them then what is. Thats when it becomes more discrimination then anything else.

[Mentor]

I could give u an exsample of what IS insulting, but id probly be banned form the forum.
That is only isnultinga if u see noob as an isnult, which by your exsample you do?
Id just say if it wa sa noob, who ther are, if there not, thats there no noob? how hard is that, if they then go on, i just type lol, call em hypocrist and move on?
I dont thin kive ever rely been called a noob, even thogh i never have hc, and dont look as if i own much....

For god sake, you are frustrating, are you incapable of taking anything in?

Look, I see the word 'noob' an insult from other peoples views, NOT my own, i would be annoyed if someone started callin me a noob in my day...

You do not need to be hc to be a noob, people come on habbo to socialise, and if they decide to spend money on credit/hc, its is up to THEM they do not need people like you to call them stupid/noobs...

It does not matter if you are rich/poor, hc/non-hc, you come on habbo for the same reasons as the next habbo TO HAVE FUN!...
People are to busy calling others names and judgeing them before they get to know them, instead of realising that these other people are on to enjoy the same passion as you...
If it wasn't for these so called 'noobs' we would have no-one to teach, so all of us would be noobs, cause we wouldn't be as advanced as hobbas!

[Hippygurl101]

You going for Hypocrite there?

I agree totally. I Do see noob as an insult yes your right. I feel it is insultive to certain people. Maybe others dont find it insultin but I think that you need to be able to put yourself in another persons perspective. Ill say it again and again, Just because you dont find it offensive.. doesnt mena be all and end all that it must be fine to use.
Never been called a noob? Maybe one day someone will , and maybe you will find it insultive then you might have a clue what were on about. Question.. Why do you beleive noobs people who are Hc and Own to much? Wanna explain that. Bit narrowminded.

[Mentor]

If you joined the hotel you were a newbie at one point, it doesnt matter wether u thogh hc looekd cool and got it, or you just came on to chat and have never owned a credit in your life. there nothing bad about beinga newbie, in fact theres more good, as it means your learing or getting in to somthing new.
I dont get offened easly, thats true, I dont tend to be to worryed what starngers think of me, id rather be my self and say what i think, not just do and say things becuse more people wil like me, Im me, if thats a crime so be it. I make my own opions and do no what im talking about, more than you may think, alot of poeple do things just becuse everyone else does them, and think things for the same reason, maybe im diffrent, im quite happy with that, i make my own desisons, i dont know eveything, im human. I respect people more who also make there own desions, just becuse you dont think what i think, doesnt change the rout fact. I rambled more on that subject in other noob topic.
Noob means newbie, if i call someone a newbie they dont get offened, yet noob is the same word and they apprnatly do. You say people do, but you dont giev reason, is someone sudly goes "flible flobble" do you firsty just to the conclusion its an insult?

[Arcanum]

why is it in every room i go into someone is getting called

a n00b? Ive had enough of this and i would just like 2 say WHOEVER CALLS ANOTHER HABBO

N00BS ARE JUST IMMATURE N00BS THMSELVES IF NOT THAT MORE OF A N00B THAN THE NEW HABBO

Contradiction 101. I agree n00b is not pleasant, but retalliating and calling them a n00b back make you just as worse as the offender.

[Hippygurl101]

Didnt really answer my question. But Yeah, I have no problem with people being new to things. I also dont go around caring what people think of me.. I dont depedn my whole life on how others percieve me and my actions. Im living my life not someone elses. Thing is you can be perfectly happy doing that but an insult is still an insult. God I may not care what people say but its no like they dont have the power to upset me the occasional time. Thing is other people do care what others thing.. Everyones different and I think that for maybe thes epeople someone saying that isnt going to help em but deter them. Again its alot of the tme the way its used.. I mean Writing someone off I hear so reguilarly 'Look at those noobs' and all I see is jsut some kids sitting and talkin. there not doing anyhting wrong, stupid But maybe there not dressed the way people would Like. Why do people have the right to go calling them what they want and also have the cheek to think they shouldnt be ofended.
And how do you know they dont get poffended if you called them Newbie? you read minds.. I Mean in its self. Say your at a new school you dont want to act new, you want to fit in and be part of something and so jsut being pointed out as a 'newbie' isnt excatly friendly is it.
Lets be honest Yeah yuor stating a fact, But if we went around stating all the facts about everyone, what there like, who they are, what they look like.. then they would be a alot of upset people in the world.

[Mentor]

Yes but to me, saying "look at those noobs" is just like saying "look at those Hc" or "look at those Advanced forum mebers", all of them can both be good, and bad things, if everything thats used in an insulting way is callsed as an insult, due to the way human are, the english landgware would be very short on words, The word noobs has been striotyped as a bad thing, its seems to be the first exsprince pople have of the word, even thogh its the same word thats in the title when they join most forums?

If someone insults noobs there insulting them selves, ive made taht point on many occiosn when pople rant on how annoying noobs are, they were once noobs, and to most things still are.
If you call someone a noob, and then get offened if somoene when u join a new forum calls you a noob, the you have no right using the word.
I know some people get offened easly, and for exsmpale thay made a site, if someone says anything negtive about it they get offened, if i make ones, i find it quite annoying when alot of people just sit there mindlessy saying its great, constructive critsism is a far btter thing, if people who take note on it, will be ablke to produse bettre things in the future. Being a noob, newbie, beginner, what makes them bad things nessarily, tahts what i cnat understand.

[Hippygurl101]

I seriously cant understand some of that..
(How come if we used all words as insults the english language would be shorter, technically it would be the same or even longer due to words taken on double meanings.. Which they wouldnt anyway)
Thing is Noob has been sterotyped a s bad because it has now a stigma attached to it? Who fault is that? Easy someone who first spoke the word with not actually meaning to call them new but instead to turn it and use it as an insult. Now people saw that and thought Ya know thats funny and so they picked it up and now its as much an insult then what if ever used to mean. On forums the tag is 'Newbie' not 'Noob' I mean I know its shortened (2 letters god people are gettin lazy) But that word has been abused and misused hence why it is now so misrepresented as a Insult.

[Mentor]

out of the 1000's of people that use the word corrctly why does everyone copy the single twit who uses teh word wrong. Why is it peaople would prefer an insult to just a word. Athogh i would digaree its main stream, the misuse of the word noob, seem to be mainly a habbo thing, and the steriotyping doesnt reach far out, i know alot of sites, and its only the habbo ones that evre have the misconsption of the word being a bad thing. Wich is probly a result of the less craetive people, looking for a way to be rude due to the bobba filter stoping them form using noraml ones.
People should insult more like on rune scape, there inmslust are cretuve and genraly quite amusing, also there proof complty non rude words in certain orders can be an sinsult.

newbie has far more potental for misspelling athn noob btw, so that shifts my preferance

[Hippygurl101]

Yeah its just habbo but thats what im talking bout on habbo. Some stupid peope used it wrong now its used like that all the time. I agree some one was stupid to turn it around.. But now it had become an insult becasue people have seen that it can be used in a such a way like that.
Since when did we have to become creative with insults.. maybe if people stopped insultin others so much we would have a happier world.

[Mentor]

People should go someonewhee where the word stil has its emaning, before there taught somthing wrong by habbo... i personly dont know how you would end up on habbo, if youre realy new to the net, id of exspected people to be a little more net knowing before.
But unluicky it turns out thats does seem to happen, due to shifts in the socal climent thogh, alot of words, that were realy offencive no longer have as much meaing, so eventaly i think alot of sware words may return to being just avarge words given enogh time, the down fall is a few idiost are craeting new good words to take the places of old rude words.

[GommeInc]

FOR THE LOVE OF KETCHUP AND MARMITE SANDWITCHES.

N00B IS NOT OFFENSIVE, IT IS SHORT FOR NEWBIE.

I am off to eat my sandwiches.

[la-ur-en]

GommeInc, i dont see the point on you coming on this thread anymore, it is as if you are trying to put your post count up!
Look, People use the word in such a way that it becomes offensive.
This is the way it used to be used...
'Are you a noob?' It used to be a question, not insulting, just asking if they are new! And if that person didn't know the meaning they would EXPLAIN what it means, instead of saying 'oh you really are a noob' then ignore them...
But now it is used like this...
Say you walk into a room and say to someone 'hey'
Someone says now 'oh dont talk to him, hes a noob' (this is just an example)
The way the person typed it makes it look as if the other habbo never existed, which makes people become aggresive, and causes them to be unsociable on habbo, and they might become self concious in some cases, all because these stupid people are calling this poor habbo names...

If it wasn't for these so called 'noobs' we would all be 'noobs' ourselves, we have nobody to teach...
People usually judge people about if they are a 'noob' if they dont have a room/furni...
How do these people know if they are noobs? The only way you can find out is by ACTUALLY talking to the person, instead of taking one look, and judgeing them, and one of my fave sayings is 'don't judge a book by its cover' which is EXACTLY what all these habbos are doing...

A couple of idots on habbo that cant use a word, doesnt change its meaning, go someonewhere not habbo related, they just think your an idiot if you tryed it.

Noob isnt a bad think, it means your new. on some forums people even introduse thesm sevlesv as noobs, and on game servers, alot of games Noob only, wich is for beigens so its not to diffacult.
Even thogh noob only games always attract one realy good player in a new account.
Noob to the majority is not offence, maybe to a few habbos, and a few idots om aol, but more pople use it corectly and incoretys, so the majority haveing power, noob is still not a rude or offencive word.

[la-ur-en]

Look
This is the last thing i am going to try and say to you because you are doing my head in!

The word is not offencive in itself, it is the WAY people use the word!
For god sake, the word means 'new' so lets put it in that word so you don't get confused!
'Go away you new person' 'Just ignore him, hes new' 'No new people allowed'
'God i hate new people' They way people use the word new/noob, is still the same, as they are using it as an insult!

[Mentor]

Event thogh that insult is habbo relative, and most of the idost using oit dont know its got anything to do with being new, considering when they get banned half of them call the hobba a noob.
Gieving people another word to insult people istn going to fix it, goving it its true meaning, will. Ive yet to hear of any compleins about people being call NEW. Its becuse popel know what new means, they dont nessary know what noob means, so they shoudl learn the right diffintion, not the incorect one

Yeah I agree.. Its the way the word is used, and the stigma attached to it that makes it offensive. Also i have been on alot of unhabbo related programs, forums and communites on the web and in not one i have ever seen anyone saying 'IM a Noob' onoly Im 'new' (Yes they mean the same thing but its what word they choose to use thats important)
It appears that this word may just be bred from habbo and others have carried it along. Or whatever.
Thing is I minute ago you were all for creative insults.. When we shouldnt have insults. Also Dint you once say that Its ok to call someone 'Noob' cos they wont understand what it means.. So thats pretty contradictory cos you also beleive thye should be informed of the defintion before thye going all upset about it. How about People jsut dont use the word.. then this would of never of started.

[Mentor]

an isnult isnt nesary mean, athogh it can be used in that way, but i can say i do insult people, not in a mena why but a joke, if u do u exspet the same way every so often, its like the fat jamie thing (it would take a while to exsplain)

If it haddenst started, as a testiment to socity it would have just been anotehr word that got cahnged, if you had remved hitler before ww2. some one else would have done roghly the same thing.
Actaly i havent said anything to effect of u can call me a noob cuz they dnt know what it means. I have said if the word noob is used properly, then it shoudl be used, but if its not it shoulnt, ive aslo said, if ypou dont know what it is, why would you automictly jump to the concluion it is an insult, i didnt majicly know the meaning of the word, if i hadnt been called a noob i woulnt have leant its meaning?

The word looks like it means newbie? maybe ist becuse im dilexic and my brain works slighlty differntly. If i call someone ignorat, there likly to be offened, wich show alot of people dont know word meanings, everyoens oignorat, becuse as far as i know no body knows everything there is to know. i think everyone is a noob, everyone, ion terms as everyoens new to somthing.
I do think humanity as a whole is pretty stupid, how else do you explain all the pointless wars corruption, etc, why else woudl we have come so close to destroying our selfs on so many occiosns. People think there the pincle of eveoltion, liek a super rase, i think thats a nyieve veiw, huamns have many many short commings, and im a blive we will eventaly die out like any otehr animal or speacies, athogh in our case it would probly be our own doing that caused it.

[la-ur-en]

No, but you did say that, you said 'it wont matter, they don't know what it means' now you are saying 'you shouldn't use it unless they know what it means' make up your mind, either way, my beliefs aren't going to change...
I think all types of name calling is wrong, especially if it is referring to if they are new! we are all knew at something, and i am sure if you went onto a website like habbo and everyone called you a noob you wouldn't be very happy...

[Hippygurl101]

I think 'Ignorant' is a perfect example here. Yes it may be on its own no offensive word, but in our society it is commonly used an an insult on peoples judgement and actions. Its common to say someone is 'Ignorant' and that its negative becaseu in question they may have not realised someone elses feelings and done somehting.
Hmm heres a thought doesnt that make people who think they can call someone 'Noob' and think they will be fine with it 'Ignorant' to.
Why did we bring Hitler into this?

"i didnt majicly know the meaning of the word, if i hadnt been called a noob i woulnt have leant its meaning?"
Does this mean i should go find some five year olds and call rude words and insult them out of the dicitonary so they can now what they mean? Lets face it It will help them in the future wont it..

But then Again Im just a person who beleives Noob is offensive in the way people use it. So that must make me a Noob see Mentor you already siad it.
"Only a n00b would think noob is offencie"
Im not new, Im not stupid, Im not an idiot but im a Noob.. Look how I break the mould again.

[-Soro-]

Once again, I say why are you all using this word...? Habbo is not a gaming community, nor is it necessary to call someone a n00b in any Habbo-related case...

Suddenly you're all experts on where and when to use this word yet you have not seen anything like a real flame fight. (sorry to those who are actually gamers and have been).

The only reason you guys are talking about this is because some 13 year old on Habbo has insulted you, maybe calling you a n00b.

[Hippygurl101]

Becasue certain people think the word is acceptable. I dotn see why we jsut dont use it at all.
Your one for assumptions arent you. I not saying im some expert Im saying what I think and what i beleive. If thats a crime. I have also seen 'real flame fights' Im not going on cos some 13 year old (Why 13 anyway... a judgement on age?) has insulted me im making a case about a word i think is insultive to people.

I have good reason to assume most of you aren't gamers, another comment which I didn't particularly direct at you... 'You' can also be a plural aswell! :o

I never said you in particular weren't an expert on the term 'n00bs', although the contrast between what you say on this forum and what my fellow gamers say on a different forum, you seem far from one.

Ok so maybe you have seen a real flame fight, but where? And I said 13 out of the top of my head, but ofcourse you like to take in everything I say... Why don't you ask me why I said 'top of the head'? Maybe I'm being prejudgist against heads?!

Why don't we just leave it at 'n00b' isn't necessary for Habbo circumstances, we agree on that - and obviously we are very different people and look on things in a different way.

If you are a gamer, which I doubt you are but hey (I assume a lot), then give me a game on HL2 sometime, I'll own ya. :p :D

[Hippygurl101]

Yeah But as You is a plural I am included in that.. No?
Im no expert on N00b as I said anyway. No one is. I Think the Noob term is used in a very different way from gaming to habbo but then there different contexts. I just figured alot of people pick 13 because they see it as some young 'new teenager' age personally whatever age you are yuo still have the power to insult someone else. Yes of cpourse I take in everythnig you say I find it interesting.
As we do agree on that then thats well do. It seems easier.

Btw You prob could own me.. Im may be ver competitive but when it comes to great killing technique.. One lacks ;)

[-Soro-]

Hey, what can I say... Killing is one of my only talents.. You could beat me maybe at say... I dunno erm? Something else that I'm not good at, I'm good at being stubborn, and owning at HL2 - But seriously wanna game sometime anyone? let me know, I'll give you the IP to the server.

[Azela]

Not one of us can say that we where never n00bs. Just because we've all been shown the ropes and know habbo to a certain extent doesn't mean we can start calling those who, just joined the Habbo family :p

STOP IT!!!!!!! :@

[-Soro-]

No one on Habbo is a n00b, n00b is a gaming word, it's used in online gaming, it's an annoying word. Habbo is by no means an 'online gaming community'.

[Mentor]

Actaly its been around on the net way before that gameing world adopted it.

[-Soro-]

From which source of information did you get that from? The word originated in gaming and you can ask any gamer who knows anything about gaming.

There isn't a person who owns the 'gaming community' and decided to order all the members of every game in the universe to use this word.

N00b is a modified version of Newbie, which was around before computers.

N00b is from gaming mate, trust me.

If you're talking about 'Newbie', you're correct, that is not a gaming word.

N00b is based on 'n00bishness' ingame, it's a fact man.

"Gaming Words: n00b, noob, or nub are often used in the LAN/gaming community as a traded insult. When someone lacks in skill or technique when it comes to a game or lacks knowledge about strategy and thinks they don't."

[Mentor]

Net's been around alot longer than games on the net, noob, is quite an ovios shortning of newbie, considering its said in the same way, athogh its been adoped by most gamoing communitys as for ingame flaming, wich is part the fun of some of them. This meaning of the word noob is mostly pronunced n ooo b , rather than newbie like the origfnal, its has comntualy been adoped and cahnged, athogh it still has only one true meaing, wich is newbie, someone new to the game, forum or anything else

[-Soro-]

Then howcome I was gaming less than a month after the net was made public?

[nets]

Excuse me, i am anything but a noob, i know what the term 'noob' means, it means newbie, but people use it as an offensive word, if they were saying it as a joke like 'lol u stupid noob' that is fine, but if theyre saying 'shut up/get lost noob' that is offensive, and i'm sure u would also be very offended if u were called a noob at this day, because obviously you know alot about habbo to make smart remarks to people who have been on since 2001, and since when have you been on? im sure you wouldnt like being called a noob yourself. Thanks
Did I say that you were a noob to habbo? No, I said that you were a noob to term noob.
And I dont get called a noob because of the fact I dont act like one, which I cant say for you.

Get Real Josh, I Call U A N00b All The Time >xP whats wrong with the word n00b... it has a meaing i suppose!

[nets]

I havent said any thing is wrong with the word noob Ross =/

[GommeInc]

n00b was way before gaming on the net was realeased!

The word comes from Newbie, which, as we all know is short for New Comer, New Player and and means we are new to something for example. Playing a game for the first time, you are a n00b/noob/newb/newbie, you are a n00b whether you are fowling up or not. Newbism dies out when you get used to something.

N00b was used before gaming on the net! It is used in everyday activites such as Rugby n00b and on the Net HTML n00b, it dosn't come from Net gaming as it has been around way before the Net is somecases as the word Newbie! As n00b is short for Newbie, it has been around alot longer even if the word n00b may not of been created. N00b is on Habbo as there are alot of Newbish people, all it means is Newbie to Habbo, you are new to it and don't have much knowledge on it. Some people may not be a n00b as all on habbo, but this is only if you read somewhere about it and knew everything before playing it which is very rare.

n00b is l337 which i have no knowledge on what so ever, so that makes me a NOOB. Am I crying, nope not really...

People who use the word wrongly as an offence, say you are a n00b for typing wrong when obviously you are not new to it, that makes the n00bifier and NOOB.

We're never going to come to a conclusion, we're both sure we know where it came from - and frankly it's pointless arguing over it... Hehe, shall we call it a day?

I see what you're saying, and maybe debating over who invented a word that isn't even a real word will get no one anywhere. :D

[stanfordstud2]

personally i hate noobs...a noob isnt someone on habbo thats new...its someone who offers obviously stupid trades, begs for free furni and says your room suc.ks even though they have no furni i hate them i hate the

[BladeMaster75]

I totally agree. I wish peeps would stop also. I know alot more about habbo and this kid goes: Move n00b. Cuz i was brbing. He was probly a noob, but w/e. I ignored him.

[ttranquility.]

N00BS ARE JUST IMMATURE N00BS THMSELVES IF NOT THAT MORE OF A N00B THAN THE NEW HABBO...

Thats so TRUE! :) They are Immature-er then noobs. But we were all noobs at one point. So why do They call alot of people "noobs" or "noobies" When they were one at a point too? Its so stupid. Ive never called someone a noob before because i remember when alot of people said that to me. How would you feel? :s

[ttranquility.]

personally i hate noobs...a noob isnt someone on habbo thats new...its someone who offers obviously stupid trades, begs for free furni and says your room suc.ks even though they have no furni i hate them i hate the


Yes. But when you have no furniture wouldnt you want some too? And They dont know what a "good trade" is. They have no fruniture because they either dont know how to get it or they just cant afford it. And they do think the room is terrible. Because they are jelous so they so its bad. Its not they're fault they are some body who is new. Just accept it and help them. Not critisize them.

[infatuation]

yes, it is true, sometimes i do get called a n00b on habboxforums, just cuz im at the 'newbie' stage.. does it really matter? :|

[Evil]

i only ever called a noob by a noob

[GommeInc]

Anti n00bs are funny and people calling people n00bs for no reason and as an insult is even more fun! As they are n00bs themselves.

everyone was a newbie once apon a time, so help the n00bs cos u know how they feel

If n00b or newbie is so offencive, then how come it's in your title when you first join this forum?

[Y!]

Why do people take offence from being called a noob? The meaning of the word - Someone who is new to a game and tries to act experienced. I feel that if someone is acting like that then yes that is what they are. Maybe the truth hurts for some people. Btw before people have a go at me I don't go around calling people noobs. I'm only stating the facts.

Actually n00b doesn't mean pretending to have experience, n00b stands for basically new to something and lacking experience. A n00b pretending they know something basically is a stupid n00b.

What's wrong calling people n00bs? I used to say it all the time on Habbo to people acting so n00bish I can't stand it, especially the stupid n00bs (I normally help the people who have not got a clue what they are doing) but a n00b pretending they know everything gets alot of lip off me.

[HolyWar]

N00b has more or less turned into a more polite way of telling someone off or calling them an idiot without being so blunt.

[Craig]

yer rather call someone a n00b than a stupid idiot who has a small brain!
