Andrew1788 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 The purpose of this topic is to discuss whether or not you like leet speak. I'm sure most of you know what leet speak is, but for those of you who don't, leet speak is a language where you replace letters with numbers.

SAGE Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 It's a disgrace. It's stupid and it's anything but "leet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0z Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I have to admitt when i was still playing Runescape i did often use "leet" speak because i thought it was somewhat "cool" But now that i have stopped playing Runescape i can see how stupid it actually is. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak722 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 We kill leet speakers here! :D The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globez Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 It's a disgrace. It's stupid and it's anything but "leet" x2. Couldnt agree more. If people in game say "pl0x" or anything like that, I refuse to have anything to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonpost Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 It was only ever useful or even semi-cool back in the early 90's... But now it's used to mock newer players and it's rather pointless. Actually, if you go to wikipedia, you'll find there's a lot of information there. Runescape Name: "unbug07"Expand your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizla Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Annoying and childish. Pretty much ended the thread right there in my opinion. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 ^ In agreement. So long as it's used sparingly and for a laugh, I have no problem with it. But what are the chances of that? :P This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 i can handle it once in a while. but anything more than a word or two and it just gets annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionheart_0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Im fine with it as long as its fairly easy to read. If it the extreamly long format, it too hard for me to read and therefore becomes annoying. I dont know how to type leet speak anyways, so i dont type it. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!

Adam007 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 It's probably one of the worst trends to hit the internet, IMO. Note that you don't ever actually really see people overly typign in it. It just gets annoying because when you see it, 90% of the time it's people typign it joking around, but it's still pretty annoying. This thread already has some lines with people using it jokingly, and that's really the only time I see it, but it's just as annoying when people use it jokingly to me.

trunksrs Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 ^ In agreement. So long as it's used sparingly and for a laugh, I have no problem with it. But what are the chances of that? :P Ditto The occasional common shorthand phrase, such as "b4", are ok, and so is using it on vanity plates, I guess. But when you go all out and type something in all numbers, that's just plain annoying. But I'm not suprised, math doesn't use number's anymore, its all letters, so why should writing be confined to only letters?

hazardmaster Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I believe 1337 5p34k was used by hackers to communicate with each other? But anyway I don't see any point of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfie76 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I believe 1337 5p34k was used by hackers to communicate with each other? Most of it was coined back in the days of BBS systems where sysops would try and filter out words that might attract undue attention from the authorities... like "hacking". So replacements like "hax" were used to avoid the word filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hd2 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I can respet your desicions, but personally, i dont mind however, people cant completely change everyone in the world...

This thread already has some lines with people using it jokingly, and that's really the only time I see it, but it's just as annoying when people use it jokingly to me. Exactly. It's used much more jokingly than it is being serious. I rarely see someone using it seriously. So really, joking about it is just as bad as actually being serious, almost at least. When people start using "leet speak," even if they are joking around, I usually just ignore them.

scorpion999 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Leet speak is just annoying, immature, and makes the speaker look like an idiot "PMG MY M41N P00N5 J00" "N33b ur5 m0m5 lyk p0mg im ub3r 1337"....

stealthman8 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Im not that big of a fan of it. Its usually used by freinds joing around with eachother. Unless its abused I dont really have that much of a problem of it. 75/80 Hitpoints | 81/85 Strength | 1/1 Pray | 1/1 Defense [Make Me Rich!] | [Brutal Ownage] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
