    A term used to describe a inexperienced gamer/person/etc. Unlike a noob, a newb is someone who actually wants to get better.

      Someone who is new to the activity that they are currently partaking in. Very often this term is used pertaining to computer games. Contrary to popular belief, a [newb] and a [n00b] are not the same thing, as a [newb] can and will get better where as a [n00b] will partake in activites meant mainly to aggrivate other players.

      [newb]s deserve a chance to grow and become better.

        Unlike the term [noob], newb is a less offensive term which is used to describe someone new to an online community.

          A newb, not to be confused with Noob or N00b, this word only means that this person who plays a game of any sort isnt that good at the game, but would like to become better at this game, not act childish and call everyone else Noobs.

            Evolving from the word New-byers, meaning new passing byers in town, this changed to newbie, the shortened form of this is newb.
            A newb is a word used over the internet many times, usually meaning new to a subject/topic, usually a game.
            A noob was evolved through the uneducated side of games played by usually children, [runescape] for example, where children didnt know the exact spelling of newb and changed it to noob.
            Newb and noob shouldnt be confused however, newb is a new person to a game but wants to become better and be like the higher levels in a game. A noob is a new player who tends to be aggrovating and will usually spam, beg, or find any other way to annoy other players.
            As not many people like those kind (noobs), the term has become something over the internet to become offensive.

              sometimes spelt newbie, A newb is a player new to a game. Inexperienced and occassionally frustratingly so. However, due to them being a newb, they should be treated with patience because everyone was new once. Very different to a [n00b], who desire to create problems for all other players

                Also known as newbie. A newb is someone who has recently started an activity (commonly a computer game) and doesnt quite know everything about how the game or activity works yet.
                Not to be confused with [noob] (or n00b) which is a person whos game mostly consists of cheats to give them the best skills and equipment, then act as though they are an expert at the activity - usually through insults or annoying language.

                    A person who lacks in skill due to being relatively new to something, hence the new in newb. This term is more frequently used to describe new players for MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).

                      An inexperienced player of a game, and part of a never-ending cycle. Will eventually develop better skills.
                      the [defective] ones called noobs get knocked out of [the cycle] and [disposed of], like at a factory quality check.
