ummmm...
junior member?
the terms Newb, Noob, are both derogetory, in the sense of the signature message it was being used to describe somebody who is unskilled or unedept...
since Newb is the abreviated Newbie, which is again an abrieviation of New person, the signaute doesn't make sense...
You can train a noob to get better at a game, but all you end up having is a trained noob. Same as a noob, just trained.
roughtly translated means...
You can train a new person to get better at a game, but (after they have spent time playing and learning the game and controls and levels, building up skill) all you end up having is a trained new person. Same as a new person, just trained.
as you can see, this makes practically no sense, you can't possibly be new to something, spend time training and improving and then still be new to it...
so this is where I think it is derogetory...
You can train a noob to get better at a game, but all you end up having is a trained noob. Same as a noob, just trained.
in the sense used roughly translates to...
You can train a idiot to get better at a game, but all you end up having is a trained idiot. Same as a regular idiot, just trained.
