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. Also often a Forum Arsonist, Vet Whacker or Drama Queen, though not all forum arsonists/drama queens are noobs.
Contrarly to newb, n00b is an offensive term/insult.
It is told that you can kill n00bs most effectively through flaming. The ultra-n00b, however, known as Zero absolute, is apparently immune to the treatment. Only snappy remarks about his hair looking emo can make him cease. Other well known n00bs are Sparkey98 and LRA2
Often the target of n00b whacking.
