Re: why u all sux

 

I think this topic should be locked. WAY too many replies for a cheap troll. Not to mention' date=' we are just feeding him, b/c now he thinks his post was worthy of a response :-([/quote']

He was banned day one. We're now trying to have fun with it.

Definately.

 

My 5 year old can type better than that.

 

Granted I may have somewhat higher-than-average expectations, but if my (theoretical; don't have one yet) five year old couldn't type better than that, I'd be somewhat disappointed. They say kids pick up computer skills quick, and I'd like my kids to be at around my level by age ten or so.

What Troll-boy was using was not leet speak. That was just poor typing ability.

 

+hi$ i$ 133+ $P3@/<. d0 j00 $33 +h3 v@$+ diPh3r3Nc3?

Yes, but I've never seen this before; you sure it's not some regional dialect or something? Or perhaps an earlier version I never encountered.

 

Doesn't matter to me; I refer to ALL of them as "hackgibber".

Nay tis too late for this Troll' date=' for he hath been slain by Ben, the Trolls-Bane![/quote']Funny, from the several consistent pics Ben has used as avatars, I wouldn't have visualized him as a psychotic, tatooed dwarf with an orange mohawk.

 

The things ya learn about people here...

Re: why u all sux

 

So what is the purpose of this Leet nonsense? Is it something these guys do instead of being touched by girls?

All languages and jargons serve three basic purposes:

 

1) Convey information

2) Identify members of a group

3) Exclude people who are not part of a group

 

Pidgin English, as created in China, is a nearly pure example of purpose 1.

Hacker jargon is a good example of purpose 2.

"Leet" is an almost pure example of 3, as it includes no unique terminology and is extremely poor at conveying information; its primary and nearly sole function is to keep out "lamers," meaning anyone who actually types normally, and considers such things as spelling and grammar to be fundamental rather than optional.

 

I have a very low opinion of "leet" and its users. You may have noticed this.

I must say, an overall excellent post. My only "problem" with it is...I'm out of rep until tomorrow! :weep:

 

I'll try and remember to rep you tomorrow afternoon. If I don't, please feel free to PM me about it. ;)

I got 'im, FWIW. Of course, your rep-stick is significantly larger than mine. ;)

 

And no, I don't have a problem admitting such a thing. :P
