I am curious, being a n00b...

Its not a post count thing, its more of a general concensus.

Its when we feel like saying you aren't a n00b

When we get used to you being here.

I don't think I went through a n00b phase myself, though. I just turned up, and nobody complained.

I never had the gee-whiz attitude of most newbies. Most people didn't realize that, though, because I wrote in pyrate for the first month.

Anyway, it has absoluutely nothing to do with post count or the time you've been here. It's the point at which we stop hating you for being unfamiliar.

Newbie = Neophyte of a forum. When you join, you are automatically a newbie for a while.

N00b = Derogatory term for a person who acts the part of a dumbass, most newbies also have this title, at least until they grow out of it.

It's when people know your name right of the bat. FOr me, I'm sure people recognize the name, but they probably don't remember the person linked with it. But if they see Martin Blank, they know right away a bunch of stuff. I've been here about 4 months, and I'm still in my newbie phase. The time always varies.

Your newbie and/or n00b phase does not end after a certain number of posts. Some make the transition fairly quickly, others it takes longer, and some never quite get it...

Indeed. I remember when a forumite with 600+ posts under their belt flamed Circe as a n00b. Postcount matters not. How much you contribute to the community does.

Just because you're a postwhore, doesn't mean you're not a n00b.

n00bosity is a state of mind. You must transcend from this state.

/me stands up in the support group.

Hello. My name is Fixer. And I'm a n00baholic.

I eat n00bs for breakfast. I eat them for lunch. I even have them with my tea in the afternoons. I need help but I just can't stop. The n00bs.... they call to me.... "Fixer, I am a dumbass, insult me!" And I cannot resist the urge!

I have just started a 12 step program to combat my n00baholism. My first step is, instead of immediately insulting them and pointing out their lack of intelligence, wisdom, grammar, and spelling abilities, I sit back and just think bad thoughts about them. Next, I actually try to post something productive to try to help them, but I'm not ready for that.

Thanks for listening to me. *sniffle* I love you guys. *sniffle*
