Talk:Newbie

It is originally from "new boy," but from before MUDs. --Fyren 07:35, 31 October 2005 (EST)

Mr. Anonymous (62.254.0.54) reworded the article and made it sound a lot more negative than the original. I think this should be reverted. I don't see the term "Newbie" quite as negative as he does. Newbie is pretty neutral and means just that: Somebody who is new and inexperienced. The variations (newb, n00b, ...) are a bit of a different story. Those are usually used as an insult. --Tetris L 22:20, 1 November 2005 (EST)
