The n00b is a newbie, but unlike the Normie, they are not well-liked on the forum, 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 sometimes a Forum Arsonist, Vet Whacker or Drama Queen, though not all forum arsonists/drama queens are n00bs.
