Is it just me, or is this site becoming overpowered by "noobs" as they say? More and More, I'm seeing posts such as:
With no punctuation whatsoever. So my question to you, the masses of EOFF, is this becoming extremely common? Also, is this any way we can... make the site more legible. I hate having to desipher posts. (Yes, I know that I make my own share of grammatical and spelling errors)Quote:

It was a great attempt, though. You don't have too far to go now. Press on.
Lindy is the wind beneath my wings.
I don't mind newbies, I think it's such an old overdone thing to hate on them. You were a newbie once. Well... actually, no, you still are, as Lindy pointed out. ;)
I'm not speaking of "noobs" as in new people, but "noobs" as these supposed people call others. as in:Quote:

Overall, Eoff hasn't yet been overtaken by noobs.
Of course, I don't generally lable people noobs anyway. Labels just create stereotypes.
A takeover would be impossible, none of us are old enough to drive.
Wait, cars or bicycles?Quote:

ye...................i no wat u mean...............its cool................like me.........
FYI! It's "newbs" not "noobs". Noob is an attitude, whereas newb is the new-ness :bigsmile:
Everyone's a newb/noob/whatever sometime! And people can type how they like if it's not offensive or insulting. What people write would bother me more than how they write it :)
But if they type so badly that you can't even understand what they're saying, how do you know if it's offensive or not?
Those are the members that make me feel superior. :p
Why would I want to lose this feeling?
It has always been like this... and it probably won't change.
If I don't know then it doesn't matter :DQuote:

Thats why God gave you a brain, so you could use it. These noobs are actually super-smart. They post like that to make you think, and see if your intelligent enough to decode the hidden message. Unfortunately, its about pancakes.
You don't feel superior to a sewer rat? How low must your self-esteem be?
I R TEH TXT KNG! But this is spam, so I'm going to write this:
I don't like people who don't write properly. Not in the sense that I don't like them personally, I just hate their style of writing. Especially things like "laterz" or "l8er". That's pointless, on one you've saved yourself one letter, and on the other you've given yourself an extra letter to type. Imbecile.
Low enough my friend......low enough......:(Quote:

Obviously it isn't a problem for others, but I get rather annoyed when the topic seems to be promising, and then the poster muddles what the topic is about with gibberish spelled out in random characters. *shudders* sure, we all have our share of spelling errors, but when people do entire posts that way I don't want to be online ever again.. The I get bored and do get online.
To the people writing the the "Txt" style: Keep it legible!
First off, you're a nub nub and second off I've been saying this for years :pQuote:

Secondly, I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that since FFXII has just been released, one can expect an influx of new members.
"Newbie" denotes a new member, most likely not "new" to the community forum aspect of the Internet. These people are well-balanced and their only real flaw is that they joined after you did. "n00b" refers to a new member who is oblivious to the rules and practices of community forums in general. These people have grammatical skills akin to the children who just got off the short bus.
It's still stupid to call them something with a couple of zero's in the middle of it. It's not like we're trying to avoid a filter or anything. If they were to come up with a better name then I'd accept it more openly. I would rather 'noob' than 'n00b' (although I also find 'noob' to be a word that I would expect to be used by the dumbest of high school bullies rather than intelligent members of this forum).Quote:

I find that this problem has always occured and is a natural element to any message board. The easiest way around it is to ignore all their posts and filter all their messages out of ones sight.
Normally I would have ignored even this thread.

All this internet is overwhelming!
