Comprehensive Guide to Noobs

On the internet, noobs make their colonies on forums. They migrate in waves, usually on weekends, and proceed to clog up bandwidth with stupid questions and sometimes even stupid answers. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to be on a board large enough to attract migrating noobs, there will hopefully be authority in charge who is smart enough to take extermination measures before they can make nests and larger colonies.

Judging by the tone of that article, my guess is that it was written by a sociologist/cultural anthropologist type. Most anyone else would have trouble keeping a straight face while writing.

Often, but not always, noobs will attempt to communicate in their own primitive language, known as noobish. It is a variant of the hacker language that exposes them as having little intelligence or will to learn. Here is an example of some noobish. Do not attempt to comprehend it: it cannot be discerned without professionals at hand.

Although you may find this unbelievably funny and/or annoying, it is best to restrain yourself and keep from talking back to them, as they are very territorial and easily angered. This will result in their attempted verbal abuse of you, possibly backed up by other noobs, because they work in packs when doing offensive tasks. It is not an easy task to learn this language because our intelligent accent will keep it from sounding quite right when spoken. You can write some simple noobish of your own, however, by slamming your face into your keyboard repeatedly.

Is there a difference between a noob and a newb? You learn something new every day.

I can't believe someone wrote a serious article on the origins and definition of "leet!"

Newbs are simply people that are new to a forum. N00bs come to the forum with no respect of the rules and generally make the forum unlivable, and are usually young.

Well, I have now learned my fact for the day. Good one, CivCube.
