Congrats Recon, you've made sad. I'm so close to 11k blams and you have 22k! You also made happy by posting that turtle, so now I'm neutral. Also a yay for IKRU for doing a lot in 11 months. And Bonus got the badge with the hard to spell name, so congrats.

4. Knowing that a newbie is different from a noob.
indeed, but still i don't ENTIRELY GET IT i mean they are used SO interchangeably i have never been able to find out their huge differences
You're not sure? N00B!!!111
Alright, now that I've done that, I'll explain. Newbie refers to being new at something, so you're not a newbie at posting and other stuff. I know it's simple, but that's what a newbie is. However, a n00b is someone who asks "stupid" questions (eg, ones that could have been found with a search), acts like an idiot, and so on. The reason why they seem so interchangeable because not many people are actually sure what exactly what makes someone a n00b. I'm not even entirely sure, so I avoid using the term. Stamper and Crimson are not newbies because of their level, yet they still get called newbies or n00bs, by n00bs of course.
5. Being able to search.
holy crap deja vu
I get sick of seeing threads/posts that could have never existed if the person just searched (or in this forum, scroll down or even look at the first few topics). There should be a test for the BBS that the person has to find something (eg, how many b/s points are needed to get to Safety Patrol?) before they can post.
