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.

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

[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.

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!
