Talk:Newbie

A Merger

It is arguable about whether or not there is a difference between newbie and n00b, and even if there is, the two articles can still have their content on one page. Definitely should be merged. --NeoEva88 21:34, 27 Aug 2006 (CDT)

I concur. makes sense, seeing and newbie is a part of noob. i assume "N00b" will be the main article, right, and "Newbie" a section in it? --Jacob 22:03, 27 Aug 2006 (CDT)

While I disagree whether the difference between 'n00b' and 'newbie' is moot, however, I agree with the proposed merger: the terms are similar, are occasionally used interchangably, and it would appear 'n00b' was derived from 'newbie'... --Macbeth 10:55, 28 Aug 2006 (CDT)

When you feel the merger is complete, create the other page as a redirect page, to go to the "main" page. --Jacob 19:29, 11 Sep 2006 (CDT)

Spamming Newbs

Spamming Newbs? I've never really heard of this term. Aren't these people normally just called spammers? I move that we delete this section from the article. --NeoEva88 17:22, 11 Sep 2006 (CDT)

I believe "Spamming Newbs" refers to the fact that some n00bs spam neoboards and other users qith neomail, being constantly annoying even when the question has been answered. of course, this could just be refered to the fact that people pretend to be newbies in order to mess with others andf have fun...hence the n00b. Instead of deletion, and it to a part of the article. --Jacob 19:29, 11 Sep 2006 (CDT)
