For a community built off of a word that is almost always misunderstood by "normal people" you guys sure do misuse the word noob an awful lot. noob is negative, the word you want is "newb" or "newbie".
You could think of it like the 'for Dummies' or 'for Total Idiots' series of how-to books. They're for beginners, but of course the title isn't intended to insult the target audience.
