A n00b is [[leetspeek]] for "noob" that comes from the word "newbie" or "newcomer".
The n00b is a newbie, but unlike the [[Normie]], fails the test of [[Forum Introduction]], possibly due to low quality posts, bad English, boasting, being a [[Forum Arsonist]], bumping threads, not listening to advice, creating pointless threads, creating tournaments when you are very new to the forum, lacking common sense/social skills, or really horrible bot building skill or any mixture of these. Basically just being annoying/obnoxious without contributing anything interesting. Also often a [[Forum Arsonist]], [[Vet Whacker]] or [[Drama Queen]], though not all forum arsonists/drama queens are noobs.
A person can stay a n00b for a very long time (sometimes called perman00bs), or can hopefully evolve into a Normie.
Contrarly to [[newb]], n00b is an offensive term/insult.
It is told that you can kill n00bs most effectively through [[flaming]]. Well known n00bs are,[[LRA2]]
and [[GarvinTheGreat]]. [[Sparkey98]] is also a well known former n00b, but he sometimes will revert back to his old ways.
