I play Tac Ops a lot (look out for [OK²]rEaVeR) and we say n00b loads - it's supposed to mean newbie, but really we just say it to each-other when someone we know gets a bad score or does something stupid. There are newbies who get 0/7 scores and the such, but we don't insult them for that - we all had to start somewhere.

Your posts are nearly always one-line replies which *try* to be funny.

And there's this thing called a Shift Key. You hold it down while typing the first letter of each sentence and for people/places names. I learnt that before year 1.

Not really. It's offen used when people use tactics that are cheap/require no skill, like rocket laming or ass-camping.

Why did you change the "u" in Memorandum to an "o," making it "Memorandom," Did you type that instead of clicking "reply quoting this message??" If so, why?

Just to clear things up, the term noob is slang for newbie. Newbie means someone who is new to something. You're new to the forums, so technically we are correct when we call you a noob, We was all once noobs so quit complaining!
