From Lionhead Bulletin Board slang, meaning 'downright irritating and moronic' While this is obviously meant as a joke, put yourself in the shoes of a newbie. You go and register on their community's bulletin boards, and post some replies. Someone probably labels you as a newbie or dark newbie, as a joke. One thing that is often forgotten is that no one can hear your tone of voice over the Internet. On the other hand, I can see why someone would want to bash a newbie.
Newbies have a tendency to ask very dumb questions.
This, however, serves no purpose. If a newbie is annoying you, just ignore him. Let someone who isn't offended by the question answer it, and everything will turn out fine. Besides, it takes time out of your action to type a nasty response. Contact us for more information on GameSpy Industries.
