What is a Noob? - The documentary</center>
updated tommorrow
Please do not PM me any more "research". The size of this thread is already quite large and pretty well everything is covered well.
Noobs: Nu*bs. (adj) (n)
Noob is a word derived from chatish gaming jargon depicting someone who is new to something or inexperienced. Other forms of the word include "Newb", "Noobie", "Newbie", or "Loser-who-thinks-they-are-cool", while meanings of the variations may vary slightly, the differences are explained clearly within this documentary. The noob is a strange species of Gaian who is usually readily spotable because of the torn up, raged peasant clothes, or the commonly and overly worn pants with flame along the edges. Although the definitions here can clearly fit those of a Newb and a Noob, it may be up to you and proper judgement to decide if a person should be labled with either of these.
Where can this noob be found you ask? That is the most frightening thing. They can be found anywhere from General Discussion, to Avatar Talk, to Entertainment, to your own nightmares, and if your unlucky enough, maybe even within your own home! The best thing to do would be to keep a sharp eye out for the dastardly critters. Here, we provide several tips on how to recognize one of these oddities.
Common signs of a noob include but are not limited to...
-Wearing Peasant clothes or Flame clothes and think they are cool singularly because of it
-Inceasant begging for gold
-Begging for mod status upon joining the site (or guild)
-Posting of threads stating "Im new"
-Posting threads that have nothing to do with the overall forum, (spamming the AT, ED, GD forums etc.)
-Bumping a thread in Q&F
-Easily Taking offense to flames/critism/suggestions.
-Flaming, rating low, critisizing, etc. without explaining what is wrong and/or how to improve.
-Attempting to make unrealistic profits (selling cheap items for 30,000,000, trying to make 30k profit in lotto, etc.)
-God modding in RPs
-Trying to convice people that they have something bigger and better than others that can not be proved in any way online without breach of the Gaian ToS. (skills, RL items, boobs, other bodily parts, etc.)
-Unrealistic Bragging. i.e. "We'll, i've been on Gaia since 2001!"
-Making posts stating that they can get rares for bumping
-->believing those posts
-Making scams, thinking they wont get caught
-->similarly falling for scams
-Making posts begging for something (girlfriend/boyfriend, money, friends, sex, etc.)
-Not understanding that people make typos and grammatical erros often in a forum/chat client.
-Posts something asking a question without reading the FAQs or sticky threads.
-Posting unrealistcally long posts with the thought of getting more gold because of it.
-Not knowing what a noob is
-improper chatspeak
-->speaks in what they consider to be 1337 with and unspeakable amount of typos making you unsure if they meant to type like that or not.
*aherm* for example: OMG, ur //3r1||g flame apnts! Your SuX0rz! im 1337!!11!!!!!11!11one one!!!1
Many people, when encountering one of these strange creatures, are confused, awed, and many times frightened.
What are we supposed to do with these little monsters when encountered? Well, there are several options which include...
-Run like your being chased by a cheatah
-Flame them, telling them to go to the "welcome to gaia" forum.
-Back away slowly
-Back away quickly
-Ignore them
-Find a different thread yourself
-Grab a large heavy hunting net, gut the creature, and hang its head on your wall as a trophy.
Those of you who have a difficult time dealing with these oddities, may feel many strange side effects such as...
-Anger
-Diahreah
-Nausea
-Hatred
-Annoyance
-Nightmares
-The desire to grab a large heavy hunting net, gut the creature, and hang its head on your wall as a trophy.
If there are anymore questions involving the species known as "Noobius-Annoyance-Etceterous", or the 'Noob' as it is more commonly known as, you can purchase a copy of my book entitled, "The missing link: May it ever stay missing"
One concern many researchers have faced is the difference between a Noob and a Newb.
Please do not confuse the species of "Noob" too much with the "Newb". A Noob is what has been previously described, and as a Newb is somewhat similar at times, they quickly learn from thier errors and because of previous experience on this strange thing called the internet, they are quite skilled in a chat enviornment and do not bring shame to themselves or those around them as the "Noob". These "Newbs" do not have anything to be ashamed of as they are learning a new enviornment and adjusting. The key word within that is 'adjusting', depicting that they are currently in the act of improving. Unfortunatly, the nOOb seems to be in a sad state that is beyond help.

There are several things that many people may confuse between the Noob and the Newb. Many of these things are as follows...
-Flame clothes or peasant clothes do not make you a noob, but bragging that you are awesome or you think your avatar is the best singularly because you are wearing an outfit that consists of only these items, then you are deemed a creature, noob.
-Not having gold does not make you a noob. Many old, talented, and skilled Gaians do not have much gold. It would be a mistake to think someone is a Noob because of thier financial status.
-Not wearing expensive items does not make someone a Noob. Many people dress how they think looks good. Often this does not include expensive items.
-Noobism is based largely on behavior, not monetary value.
-Noobs are not always new, where as Newbs are. The creatures known as noobs, seem to be stuck forever in thier new phase, even though they may have existed much longer than the Newbs who are no longer classified as Newbs.
-Again, a primary characteristic that sets the Noob aside from the Newb, is that the Noob is unwilling to learn and improve themselves in society.
-It is known that many Newbs make the mistakes of Noobs, but as stated, the Newb will learn from its mistakes and will not, or at least try not to make them again. It is the Noob who is consistent, predictable, and annoying.
