The question is simple, why do a lot of you make fun of newbs? Newbs promote your sport I thought you guys were trying to expand Airsoft and when u make fun of newbs your only helping people loose interest If you could awser my question it would be great

We don't make fun of newbs, we make fun of idiots. Stop doing things like posting in 1337 talk and bringing up dead threads. Most of us got it in the past. I know I got yelled at a lot last year when the whole thing started. So you'll either get mad at us and leave, or mature and stop being an idiot.

Its just for the same reason people make fun of freshmen, Cause they are weak, they have no contacts to back them, and most of them cant stand up to who they challenge. We simply make fun of them cause they talk a lot, and 1/2 the time they dont know what they are talking about. I personally find that funny.

Having to wake up in the morning and read four or five topics on what gun is best... if this gun is any good... what should I buy.... etc has nothing to do with it at all................................................................

Sorry bro, i dont read thoes posts. I know what i want and dont care if it sucks. Theres always room for upgrades, Im not talkin about the ones who ask questions, I am talkin about the ones who sound like fools cause they say somthing, then everyone realises that they know nothing about it.
But if it has nothing to do with it at all, then what does have to do with it? I am guessing you dont like why i make fun of them, but now then, why do you make fun of them?

But if they are promoting your sport then why do u make fun of them? It does not make sense to me Not all newbs ask "What gun should I get" I didn't. You shoudn't sterotype because all of you were newbs once. And wut do u mean by "You can be mature and stop being an idiot" mature people don't make fun of others.

What really angers me with the n00bs is when they just swear for the sake of swearing. An occasional slip-up is ok online and in person with me but control yourself. I hate it when people say stuff like "why does everyone think I am so fucking imature I am 13 years old and I will do whatever the fuck I like." It is that kind of attitude that is getting causing a lot of veterans of this forum to leave. I won't even get into the lack of respect for an airsoft gun in terms of safety and you wonder why some of us hate newbies.

Flaming a newb has nothing to do with my maturity factor unless I said "You fagz0r n00b!" When I'm educating you with... oh lets say satire, then it's a totally different thing. It's just hazing. Get used to it.

How are you noobs promoting airsoft? You guys get on here and make a post talking about how idiotic you are. "Yeah, me and my friends went in the park and played with springers. It was cool." That shows how intelligent you are. Doing things like that shows you are an idiot and have the I.Q. of frozen yogurt.
I still am a noob, but do you see me posting topics of the stupid things I do? No, because I don't do stupid things. I know what's right and wrong. And I don't think anyone else besides the recent noobs go out into a PUBLIC PARK and shoot at each other with replica guns, now do they?
And about those topics, "Which of these guns is the best" and other like them, choose what gun you like the best, look around for the gun that fits your personality. Don't always depend on other with help, because you do have to do things by yourself in life. I did the same thing, asking what gun was the best, then I just decided to go and buy a MP5 because that's the kind of gun I like (plus it was cheap as dirt at the time.).

As Bigmack said in another thread, we generally oppose and ridicule idiots, not newbs. That a lot of newbs happen to idiots isn't our fault ( ;D ).
I think it's mainly a case of, after a while, what is percieved as a general lack of common sense becomes a major peeve to a lot of regular visitors.
Newbs don't necassarily promote the game, they simply help it grow. That can be good or bad with this game, however, and a lot of us older players (Older in experience, not necassarily years) realize that. Expansion and knowledge of the game in the general populace could kill it quick.
If you want anymore of an explanation, just look at my sig for another reason why newbies are sometimes frowned upon.

I don't go to the park and play with springers, im not a dumbass, I am safe with an Airsoft gun, athough a friend I have isn't who shall remain nameless but he is a member of this forum.
By the way newbies do promote the sport because they show,others and tell others about the sport
ALSO I HAVE NOT POSTED ANY STORIES ABOUT WHAT STUPED STUFF I DID BECAUSE I NAVER HAVE DONE THAT kIND OF CRAP, I NEVER ASKED WUT GUN I SHOULD GET AND YUR MAKING FUN OF ME BECAUSE OF CRAP I NEVER DID

people are classified by age group. that's a sad fact, but nonetheless, it is a fact. one stupid 15 year old, makes all 15 year olds stupid.

Don't take everything personally, man. That way leads to madness.
