How long are you a noob?

Just curious as to what makes someone a newb?

Post count and how long you've been around the site. Like for example, I wouldn't call you a noob but someone who's been here a month and has 300 posts I would. Make sense?

I don't even know what a noob is, only ever heard of it through baby gaga. Watching   haha.

  agreed.

Makes sense to me - I just wonder what people think.
But technically I think you could be on a site for 3 yrs & if you rarely go on & seldom post, you can still be noob in mentality, whereas someone who has been around 3 months might have a better sense of the "personality" at a particular site/forum.

Newb- New member. Maybe just doesn't know the way around the site, the abbreviations, etc.

Noob- Doesn't matter how long you've been here, someone is insulting you.

I've been on here for about a month now and I don't even have 100 posts yet.  

Noob: when you stop making stupid posts  
Newb: when you've been here for a few months and can hang.

My unimportant opinions   some people are never noobs but everybody is a newb at one point.

LOL, I didn't know there were 2 different meanings

Very much so.

Noob is an insult. Newb is not.   haha

Ohh, gotcha.

I've been insulted many times. I don't think I've ever been called a noob - not that I can recall at least.

Yes, noob is a special level of insult that's generally reserved for the "preqnate", someone trolling, or the all-around idiotic. Generally. Some people use it for lesser offenses, but those that throw it around like candy are generally noobs themselves, from my extensive research and observation.
