I was sure that the irony of my posting this topic would not go unnoticed hence the last comment in my original message.

Some n00bs don't do this, yourself included. They are certainly a breath of fresh air.

Couldn't agree more (and thank you) . It was nice that the author differentiated between noob and newb in the guide, although the former tends to be used almost exclusively for both "breeds" in practice.

One common forum practice (which I noticed the mp3car forums does not implement) is a minimum post count for access to Avatars, FS Forums and Custom Text etc. This usually accounts for a vast majority of forum spamming by new users simply trying to get their post count up!

These "me too" posts can often be often more annoying than noob posts IMHO.
