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.
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.Quote:

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

Thanks
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 ;)
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.
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?
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..

LOL she isnt talking on here anymore cos we found out that she is a n00b.
Oh, you know what?Quote:

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 :sQuote:

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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?Quote:

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!
No offense but I cant actually understand what you mean.. I cant read it.Quote:

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

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
FOR THE LOVE OF KETCHUP AND MARMITE SANDWITCHES.
N00B IS NOT OFFENSIVE, IT IS SHORT FOR NEWBIE.
I am off to eat my sandwiches.
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.
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!
