Moniker for new users
« on: Wed, 05 November 2014, 14:54:39 »
Let's just clear this up right now.

It's newbie, newb, noob, or n00b. That's all.

Not nub. Not ever. Nub rhymes with dub, and makes you look like an idiot.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Also, nub is how we all refer to nubbinator and a man with such a beard can't be called a n00b.

Right. Having the username Dub doesn't make you look like an idiot. Using the term "nub" when you mean "noob," does. ;)

Neophyte also means a new convert to a religion.

So Church of Halverson or Whalebro?

We could have   Keyboard power level ratings..   

that way'

a n00b joins up.. he is at 100% power...

it will increase with the number of posts until he reaches 200% n00b power, and he has the option to transform into SSJ GHer..


Yea.. so basically .. TP4 didn't go to school when he was young.... he learned everything from bootleg DBZ tapes
