pleeeeeeeeeeeeease explain (a rant post actually)
« on: February 17, 2005, 01:00:14 am »
the point of 1337 speak....
i mean...it\'s just pointless. impractical to write or read, aesthetically ugly.
and don\'t tell me it\'s computer speak...or something real computer ethusiasts use. Cause pretty much every person i know who is computer ehtusisast or programer are grammar nazis. They are very careful how they express themselves, and always try to say things as clearly as possible, proffesional deformation maybe.

i mean i understand the litle things like \'l8r\' or \'c ya\'...in the age of irc...it was used for convnience...

i just don\'t get it.... i am sorry if i offended anyone, but when someone types in 1337 it\'s like they are talking to me with they mouth full and their back turned to me....i find it offensive. If you want to say/write someting.... just write it as plainly as possible.

Well first off all the e\'s don\'t support your argument.
Secondly, I don\'t care.
Finally, anyone who plays planeshift shouldn\'t be speaking 1337.

Edit: spelling

errr there is a vast difference between putting extra e\'s to show desparation... and putting numbers and backslashes instead of letters to show, something.

It doesn\'t matter...i just need to get that out of my system

i suggest covering yourself in gasoline then running though a burning forest before having a swim in a pool of lava :)

that or wrap yourself in bacon and go into a feral dog compound to do the can can

hardly anyone here types true 1337 speak as there main language. so your in the wrong place to gripe

i\'ll take your suggestions under serious consideration. In the event i  choose to perform one of the two stated sequences of action, i will let you know how it worked out. If my resulting physical condition allows me so.

in any case thanks for the input.

p.s....in time of my writin you had 1337 posts...hah the irony

My two cents:

I always thought that 1337 speak was a wanabe computer geeks (haxxorz) way of trying to fraud hexidecimal encoding.

\"Hey! The cool real hacker dude is using 0-9 and A-F to describe his actions! I can be just like him! I\'m so 1337!\"

Then again, althought I do prefer to use good grammer (as best as possible seeing as English isn\'t my first language), I do tend to make comments such as \"teh 1337\"... Just to show that something is cool and worth noticing.

your all wrong.. guess ya\'ll missed out on that era od computing.

Anyway \"l33t\" (yeah its l33t you \"n00b0rz\"not 1337) was made up ina  time when most of the real HACKERS (not h4x0rz) where still in thier teenage years and needed a way to use the evil chat rooms :O (parents thought and still are in FUD about most computer things) so we would just claim we where coding as they also where to stupid to know between a compiler and a chat program and to know between
\"h3ll0 &uy$ |-|0\\/\\/ 4|23 y4\'11?\" and
\"Start Program 100: Print \"whatever\"; 110: Goto 100\"

and we meant it in all sencerity.. for the longest time it was a code and still is to most people and until the generation under me instead of being the hacker like use chose to be \"OMG sup4r 3117 h4x0rzzlolol!!111!!1one\" (sorry but i hate most of ya\'ll younger generation, guys here are cool mostly but.... :/ )

l33t is just a code still using proper as possible grammer and spelling

1337 is OMG is t3h k3wl lolololol using \"AOL chat ebonics\" and rancid and vagrant mispellings

now i will have to laugh out of the room and then flame back for insulting me anyone who says l33t is stupid, i will agree that 1337 is stupid though (there is a difference i just explained it now please call them what they are not using l33t and 1337 interchangably ok? :)  )

I just use it for passwords as... well all of  the hackers i know...cant hack worth a damn...and my parents know what a chat room is...and subsequently kick my ass if they find out im doing anything illegal...(they only catch me half the time im not dead yet)...anyways its kind of lost its purpose and most of the people using it arent worth talking to anyways...

just my two trias

yeah most of people who call themselves hackers do the following:

1. Search Astalavista for an appropriate crack
2. Run the crack

yea i know the history of 1337 and all that.  but people today using (especially little kids trying to get som kind up  \"high rolller hacker\" recognition)

today all it stands for is lame tools saying negative things to me or offensive things like \"u r teh suxor\".  you will see alot of this in online games (first person shooters) like counter strike.  \"d00d r u using hax\"

(for the record they are not \"hax\" but simple programs to cheat) had to get that one of my chest.

i used to hack alot, and i used to hack (not download little msn bots and lame programs) but i never used 1337 speak or even have a handle (an identity type thing)

not even descent.. that is the biggest load of FUD ever.. that movie is crap. And some of us lived in red states where even electricity was almost of the devil >_< (if i am told one more thing i like or is of modern thinking is of the \"devil\" i am gonna blow somebodies head off XD)

EDIT: \"suxx0rz\" and suff didnt come around till the generation under me (the current 10-15 year olds) started messing up my cool stuff... l33t was spoken EXACTLY like real english.. just with letters exchanged for symbols that letters
