Aside from this anecdote, the problem has been that I haven't been able to play Gunz for 3 full years... due to my damn router, and how it is said that it's impossible to play on it.

I posted variouis posts on the real gunz factor site... yet people simply said "no.." and just ignored the damn problem. The problem is there and the problem is simply that My Netgear WGT624 cannot play gunz, even with port forwarding, and it has the agent error. I really wish to play again, so someone, please be good enough to help. Thanks.

Truth is, there is a "real" meaning to the words newb and noob/nub. Sure, you can't find them in the dictionary, but they exist in the internets. Yes, teh internetS.

Also, you should know this:
Noob = nub =/= newb

Noobs are basically, IMO, idiots. There are more detailed definitions, but noobs/nubs are basically idiots. In-game, they may be a 'pro' or whatever, but if they act retarded, they can still be classified as 'noobs'.

The word 'newb' is an abbreviation of 'newbie' which is widely used in the internets. So technically, it does exist in the english language. You shouldn't mix up the words noob and newbie, because although they seem sort of the same, they're not. Newbie/newb defines someone who is new to whatever field of interest, and doesn't necessarily mean the person is a complete dumbass.

Those definitions aren't 100% accurate, but I'm just giving you the basic meanings.

So... Calling someone a 'noob' isn't good, but there's nothing wrong with calling someone a newbie (unless they're not.). Thus, I conclude that part of your "theory", PunkyBuster, is incorrect. You may be insulting yourself when you call someone else a noob, but not when you call them a newbie.

Sorry, I just had to point that out. Otherwise, this post is totally off-topic. Don't flame me.
