Why "Newbee"..?

[8bit-freak]

I know that if you join a website or forum you are considered to be a newbee... Why a newbee? why not a new guy on the block, someone please tell me what newbee stands for...

[Agent_Embryo]

Newbie is the commonly used term for someone who is new at anything.

Therefor:
A new member = Newbie
A beginner in a field = Newbie

and so on.

ya, it doesn't really stand for anything... just a newbie

Don't worry 8bit... we won't call ya a newbie

[Brainchild]

Welcome n00bie.
Although I can see by the name your obviously not a n00bie

Maybe you are an old-bie like me, 8bit-freak.

Dabble in older bits, eh??
