Don't worry my friend... we have all been at the "Newbie" stage at some time or another.
Newbie isn't a derogative description of a person, it's merely American slang for a person new to the Internet, and Internet Site, or Internet Gaming Programme, or indeed the same outside the Internet. For instance, when I first joined Mylot, I was regarded as a Newbie. It's quite an affectionate term to my mind, and doesn't hold out for too long. Since being used initially on the Internet, this word has become fairly widespread, throughout the World. I have noticed some of the youngsters around my English Village, use it. :)
I hope that explains things for you. It will soon be dropped as people come to know you. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

I have been considered to be a newbie alot of times, especially online. I was a newbie at Mylot when I first joined because I was new here.

i guess each person on the net have had to be tagged a newbie at one time or the other probably you have called someone a newbie after sometime too because you are no longer there as a newman

My mind wasn't really working well when I responded to this discussion but I have been a newbie in several things in my life. I tag a newbie as a person who tried anything for the very first time.
