Newbies

Good ​ Newbies are new posters. Users are no longer officially newbies after they either reach Initiate, or are active for longer than a month. (Truly this is a matter of opinion, though.) Nevertheless, they are considered newbies for much longer periods of time until they become more active and reach the rank of MasterBuilder (Ex: Legofanyoda was considered a newbie for nearly two years). Some people used to call them n00bs until Miakittymoon said that they shouldn't be called that anymore, because some were offended by it. However, some beginners are even offended by being called a newbie.

Newbie Assistance Topics
Newbie assistance topics are for Newbie basic assistance, such as how to roleplay, what an HQ is, and other stuff. These topics are posted by regular users, and are then made Pinned topics by Moderators. Almost every Forum has a topic like this. In fact, the Message Boards Forum has a Help sub-forum for newbie assistance. There is also a topic for more experienced users to "Adopt A Newbie". This topic was created by the famous Dwarfy, but he took the idea from the MLN Help Subforum topic Adopt A Newbie, made by Legosaurus282.
