BARROWMAN asked in Yahoo ProductsYahoo Answers · 1 decade ago

Why are there so many nOObs on Yahoo Answers?

Update:

For those interested a nOOb is someone who does not know how the world works, what is going on, or anything. They aren't as new as annoying. A newbie is someone new but isn't an idiot. A n00b is the most annoying thing on this earth!

Not my definition but from the Urban Dictionary.

    becasue like most people they want a question answered that they couldn´t find an answer to anywhere else, and there are far more non users on the internet than users so I´m afraid there´ll be a lot of noobs for a very long time

    What's a nOOb?

    If it means newbie, then as a newbie myself i don't understand why someone would ask that question. Surely new people can only mean new, interesting questions. Yes ok, we may ask questions that have already been asked before, but then, hey, just ignore them.

    If thats not what nOOb means then just ignore me :-)

    If you mean silly people, they have nothing to do in life, so they come on here and just be stupid.
