A n00b is leetspeek for "noob" that comes from the word "newbie" or "newcomer".

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 have no idea how to make these, 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.

A person can stay a n00b for a very long time (sometimes called perman00bs), or can hopefully evolve into a Normie.

List of actual n00bs :

-Ben Purse

-Wolfsbane

-027 LB

-Hard Bot

Contrarly to newb, n00b is an offensive term/insult.

It is told that you can kill n00bs most effectively through n00b whacking, but results so far have been mixed.
