On my first time creating an account on Gaia I was a noob
:0
Begging for gold and everything
Lol

Nah, I think my pride was holding me back. I guess I used to think that if I begged, I'd be pegged as weak or needy. Needless to say, I liked my image. I started opening shops and making quest threads later on. Gaia was sort of the turning point for me. (Even though now I just want to run from it.) I was such a n00b on Neopets, though. -Hides-

    I don't think I ever was. :] If anyone ever though I was though, I was jokingg. :]

Montgomery Domoheart 10-10-2007 01:59 AM

New user? Everyone was.

Annoying user-noob? I may have been. If I was, I can't say I'm too ashamed of it since I'm a much better person than I was back then.

Well.
I typed in chatspeak and was quite gold-hungry, but I didn't go around making an idiot of myself and begging people for items and gold. So... I don't know.
I was young and stupid, though, and grew out of even semi-noobishness well before I turned twelve. I've been speaking in grammatically correct English (Though I'm sure there are a few odd grammar rules I haven't learned yet) and watching what I say for almost my entire internet life.

On gaia I really never begged. I wanted a nightmare scarf so bad in 03 and a good friend gave it to me. I still have the scarf. :wink:

NiceOnRice 10-10-2007 03:22 AM

'03? wow. crazy crazy.
I'm an '04.
But I don't have any of my old items. Hacked, forgotten passwords and all sorts of what not XD
Good thing it's just a game. Some of my friends take it too far. A close friend of mine was hacked, and although she didn't have too impressive items,
she still got very upset when she was hacked. I was worried about her, she even stayed home from school afew days.
This was quite strange because at the time, we were 13 ( We are now 15)
and well, 13 year olds don't often become so upset over video games.

  • I was a newbie, but goodness, never a n00b. I joined Gaia, my very first forum community back in 2004. And I acted pretty much in the same way as I do now. I know everyone (except stupid bots) are real people. And I want to treat them respectfully...

Sanctuary 10-10-2007 03:31 AM

Wizard! -tackle-

I was little bit of a n00b when I began on Gaia.
I din't beg, but I spoke in chatspeak and didn't understand the site at all. I didn't read the rules until much later. I found all the threads overwelming when I'd never been in a forum before. Then again, I was only 13. 3 1/2 years later, at 17, things I did then tend to seem childish.

NiceOnRice 10-10-2007 03:45 AM

Haha, gosh I feel so young! everyone I talk to here ( on mene) is sixteen or older, I'm BARELY 15.
But, I guess that can't be helped, I am who I am.
(and I love it)

Pee.S.
There is nothing wrong with being older.
Soon,I will be older xD
In fact, I am older right now.
older than some people at least.

llil dragon 10-10-2007 03:48 AM

I'm a noob lol
joined a few minutes ago :P

Sanctuary 10-10-2007 03:58 AM

llil Dargon- You need to learn the difference between "noob" and "newb/newbie".

llil dragon 10-10-2007 04:50 AM

oh.. .__.
but aren't noob and newbie the same thing..? :?

Pixilated Rainbows 10-10-2007 05:13 AM

Hmm I dont ever remember being a noob. I was a newbie however (I am a newbie to this site right now as a matter of fact lol). But when I first started going to sites like this I didn't post. I just lurked, and read the stickies and stuff like that. Because of that, I learned what -not- to do. <3

@llil Dragon: No, A noob is someone who begs, or spams, or is just kind of annoying in general. A newbie on the other hand is someone who is just new to the site.

Man 10-10-2007 05:31 AM

Whatchu talkin' 'bout? Noob4life.

kitchen 10-10-2007 05:35 AM

I was a noob on Gaia, I repeatedly posted threads asking for gold and threads where I'd just talk in chatspeak. I've learnt my lesson though, I realise just how annoying it is!

blitzy 10-10-2007 05:55 AM

I've never been a noob. I don't know, I just think that if something would bug me, then it's not something I should do. I'm just really reserved quiet person in real life and I think it carries over to when I'm on different forum sites. I read the rules and watch whats going on to find out how things work before I start posting. I don't think that being a noob is the worst thing as long as you eventually learn and move past it.

Livia 10-10-2007 09:35 AM

Just a little bit but not for too long ( It was just for one hour xD)... But that was on Gaia. I usually don't say to much on sites before knowing how to work with it. How to move... You know the basic stuff that anyone should know. xD What I can say is that I'm a newbie here . Like I was on Gaia two years ago or more.=3

kuroitsuki 10-10-2007 09:41 AM

I wouldn't be ashamed of admitting that I was once a noob. When I was new to this avatar-based online thing, I often posted tons of emoticons on chatterbox-type threads, believing it would gain me tons of gold too. Hahaha!

But after a few days, my friend, who happened to be a regular of Gaia that time, told me that what I'm doing is really a total spam, and she labelled me a n00b for several days. xp

Emoticon 10-10-2007 02:34 PM

I was pretty much a n00b when I first started out on gaia, later on I was annoyed by: Cuz sux and all those n00bish things, I thought it was just English/Americans being cool since I'm Dutch and everything.But turned out it was EVIL.
So I turned my back on N00bism and went to being a newb. Later on I became pretty much furniture on forums, nice and literate. Okay my spelling without spellcheck is just horrible and my grammar((edit, I told you guys I was horrible...)) isn't perfect, But I'm just sixteen, I'm still learning, right?

Mechanika 10-10-2007 02:42 PM

I've never been a noob.
Probably because I was well and truley and adult before I got the internet and my own computer. :]
I'm 26 and completely literate.
Unless I'm drunk.
:oops:

No one is literate at that point of the bottom of the glass.... :wink:

Vira Har'luthe 10-10-2007 03:03 PM

Goodness yes! I hate to admit it, but as far as roleplaying, I started out VERY noobish. After a few months, though, I got better at it and never looked back.

Although, when it comes to item begging, I don't think I ever really did that. Eh, I was posting so often at the time that getting gold wasn't a problem.

Anyway, all that was almost three years ago when I started at Gaia, I'd guess. 8)

Vii 10-10-2007 08:19 PM

I was a noob back in Gaia, and I'm a noob on this site. Yay me! ;D

zumbie 10-10-2007 08:30 PM

Everyones gotta be a newb sometimes but hopefully they aren't n00bs. o.o
