a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing.
Newbs are those who are new to some task
and are very beginner at it,
possibly a little overconfident about it,
but they are willing to learn
and fix their errors to move out of that stage.

n00bs, on the other hand,
know little and have no will to learn any more.
They expect people to do the work for them
and then expect to get praised about it,
and make up a unique species of their own.

noobs will attempt to communicate in their own primitive language,
known as "n00bish."
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.

n00bs make their colonies on tribal forums.
They migrate in waves,
usualy jumping from tribe to tribe
and proceed to clog up bandwidth with stupid questions
and sometimes even stupid answers.
If you happen to be unfortunate enough
to be 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
Larger colonies can result in the mutation of some into spammers.
Not commercial spammers,
but pointless spammers.
A noob can become one of these at any point,
but the larger the amount of noobs,
the more chance pointless spammers will appear

since noobs are basically ignorant ****,
they have a lot in common.
The most often seen characteristic is their fluency in noobish,
They will also be very self confident
as if they were the absolute best
at what they are in fact the worst at.
Also, they are quite agressive and self-centered,
and tend to laugh a lot
using many L's and O's in rapid sucession
(the noobish word for laughing like an ultimate retard).

It is their instinct to assemble in packs for defense,
and they often attempt to organize packs that they call tribes
Unfortunately for them,
tribes usually result in a total loss of communication
and they can often begin to fight amongst each other.
These tribes are quite unlike those formed by non-noobs.

Noobs have difficulty reading English
and cannot comprehend the idea of authority.
Therefore, they have an all-out disregard for rules, basic or not.
A good way to identify a noob (bad) vs. a newb (good)
is to tell them which rule they are unknowingly breaking.
If they respond with an apology and fix it,
they are probably not a noob.
If they react by insulting everything around them
in rapid noobish and causing general mayhem,
it is because they are a noob
and have had a small seizure
due to their inability to understand what is happening.

Noobs follow a variation of the draw a icon religion,
in which they worship the icon drawn
in odd rituals and put icons in their personal profiles
often accompanied with a signature of dont mess wi me im the best
They often call themselves experianced at the game
which experts say
is somewhat like calling themselves godly in a human language.
It's best to not interfere with their religious fantasies
and practices because that can lead to a noob uprising,
which can turn a forum to mush in less than a week
