I am relatively new to forums, as in I have only been on them for about six months, and I was just wondering what some of the phrases used in forums such as *Bump* and, other ones..... please help us N00bs. This is only becuase it looks an awful lot like spamming to me. *Scans his eyes aroung suspisciously*
-
Bump is a shameless way to force a thread back up to the top of a forum =)
-
and N00bs or newbies etc are people who are new. Ie. somone who might join the furious angels today would be considered a newbie.
-
I mean newbies to forums, in a broad sense of the word. Damn I really mucked this one up didn't I?
-
Øh? :|
-
Noob - shortened form of the word Newbie; used to refer to people who are either new or, mainly, to people who make mistakes that a new person would make
Bumb - You bumb the topic to the top of the forum. When you post it goes to the top for having the newest post. In the same way you could bumb someone higher into the air so that their ground impoact would be greater because they did not know wat this meant.
-
Well incase you didn't know lmao = laughed my ass off and rofl= rolling on floor laughing.
-
Yes, bumping is spamming.l its kind of like medicenal marijuana, its legal, but is is seriously[/b][/u] not reccomended, as it creates competition with new threads that need to be read.
Now for the defference between "noobs" and newbs".
n00bs- A user who has been told repeatedly of a mistake he needs to fix, yet repeatedly does it, often leading to party splits. Many times, being a n00b is not accidental, but rather a way for a frustrated advanced player who got his ass handed to him in a duel to vent frustration by getting others killed. Most often used on message boards(instead of mistakes, replace with "questions and reword) and MMOG's. You do not want to be a n00b.
newbs-Friendly, cute little creatures that roam outside their familiar terrain and explore other realms, and often unaware of what is going on. They ask questions, only once, and unless they are anwsered by a spiteful player who doesnt want more competition, get polite anwsers from a friendly advanced player, who often becomes a "friend" of the newb. Although everyone goes through this phase when entering a new board or game, you still dont want to stay in this phase.
Its kinda funny to see one of the highest non-admin posters make this thread. Actually, its more wierd than funny.
-

youre entire last post was lost in the bouncing boobies....they still amaze me....theyre wonders of the FA.....
-
Just because I am a high poaster doesn't mean that I am all-knowing, mind you, I do know alot......
-
And I meant to start this thread in the old forums, that is how long it has ben in the pipeline.
-
double posting is a bad thing, a very bad thing....
-
Tis indeed. double posting posters are bad. ahh, anyway is there any other words Ajax?
-
Ah, now it get it!
I actually thought that you were pretending to be a noob ;). Sorry :).
-
LOL Double-posting....is where I got today...I would be nowhere without it.
-
n00b is what wankers call people who haven't played somthing before to put them down and make themselves look l337...
newb is what nice people use to say be nice to this guy or just have harmless fun
-
Keep in mind that i said noob, not n00b ;).
Also notice that he called him self a n00b :). "N00bs" (Which you aren't Ajax :))
-
Yes....let's make sure that teh FA does not fall into the ranks of such dumbasses that use the word "n00b" and 1337....Because if we do trust me....this faction will not be as great as we all think/hope/want it to b, and it'll fall apart.
-
I say we make the forums have a standard of proper grammer...not "u", "b", "sk8", things like that.
But most people dont so oh well.
-
Ok, thanks for the input. I would now lock the thread but alas, I am not priviledged with admin abilities. Damn elitists! *Waves Fist*
-
I like the way we write on these forums.
No brazilian guys (there seems to be a lot of those on the MxO forums) who never uses punctuation or commas. It just gets wierd.
"hi im wanting for a clan i really enjoy these game to come out or is it out already :)"
Almost like they used a web translator or something :).
The posts on this forum usually are above average...

youre entire last post was lost in the bouncing boobies....they still amaze me....theyre wonders of the FA.....

It doesn't take that long before it changes.
The changing annoys me. It's so not logical!
You can't shake your boobs and change haircolor! :)

Mystic can. (X-men.)

i was more refering to the fact that every1 is focusing on her tits juggeling up and down and nothing else, my poor attempt at humour, seems to have failed.
o and im not bothered about the way people type, what i h8 is when people correct others peoples typing mistakes i.e.
i will w8 for u @ the place wid d thing
you know exactly what i said but people find the need to translate it into back into english when they already know whats been said.
But i try and punctuate all i can but my english is for loss of a better word... crap
-
That should be: "Oh, and I'm not bothered about the way people type, what I hate is when people correct other peoples typing mistakes, i.e.
I will wait for you at the place with the thing."
Oh sorry...you said don't do it :).
