@DSQ.....

As noted by Chips, Fd and me, you do seem to be very very active. I assume you have a lot that you want to say.

Note: One of the other signs of n00boidism is spamming and/or post count churning or both. You may want to consider whether you are headed in that direction with your current rate of activity.

@Leonhart: most of the time i dont really like attacks on noobs, but the distinction between newbs and n00bs is no quite clear.

Just an addendum to the main Guide:

N00bs on IRC:
It is well known that n00bs seem to propergate in IRC, procrating through a technique know as 'cyber'. 'Cyber' is a tradition adapted from phone sex, where 2 people 'pretend' to have sex with each other through an IRC channel, and this is where n00b syndrome is born.

There are many ways to avoid catching n00b syndrom, and these are as follows:

1: dont chat to anyone with 'sexy' in their nickname. You're asking for trouble.
2: If they say they are 14/f/place, they really are 39/m/parent's basement.

N00bs can also be exterminated on IRC through their own depraved desires. (this works. After applying anti-n00b treatment, n00bishness declined by 40%)
The main way to lure n00bs to your trap is by adding the words 'sexy' and 'booty' to your nickname. N00bs are attracted to these words, and is similar to a femal human yelling "I'm so wasted!" in a bar. When the n00b is deep in the trap, begin to play the vasade of a 14 year old girl. continue to engage in 'Cyber' until the n00b is decieved, and reveal your true idedntity and expose his true n00bishness. Most n00bs will be cured of their n00b syndrome, and will go outside and see the real world and get real jobs, or just try to hack you using amatuer techniques similar to their close relative, the script kiddie. No need to worry, most n00bs use the CD drive as a cup holder, and pose little threat to humanity, but can be an annoyance.

@ Chips lol I like that keyboard
@DSQ spectre is Sir Spectre, he wrote 4 plays, of which three were based on real happenings, you can see these in the History of TLR" thread in fl discussion
He doesn't post in OT anymore, and I'm not sure about the other parts off TLR, last I heard he still posted in some of the MOD forums or sth
