NewbiesNewbies??

• A newbie is a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the Internet, where it might refer to new, inexperienced, or ignorant users of a game, a newsgroup, an operating system or the Internet itself. In many cases more experienced/knowledgeable people use it in purposes of negative reinforcement, urging "newbies" to learn more about the field or area in question.

• A newbie is also labeled as such if they are polite when asking questions about the game where as noobs are impolite and believe that the more advanced players are themselves, noobs.
