Why bin this? This is in the lounge.

Let me clear up what this person is trying to say, as I understand it.

I believe the use of elite(31337) Speak is not only inappropriate, but also foolish. It is used mostly by script kiddies, those who claim to be hackers yet know nothing about hacking except sending email bombs and DDoS'ing users. It is very hard to understand for those of us not proficient in it, and that makes it seen as annoying, since those who aren't proficient are the vast majority. What is your opinion on the use of elite (31337) Speak?

Post by: preacher on 29 January 2004, 20:18: Well my opinion on elite speak is that it is annoying, and those who usually speak it in chat rooms or on boards are usually young and childish(no offense Refalm).

Post by: restin256 on 30 January 2004, 23:31: "leet" isn't short for "eleet". It was an IRC port.. or hacking language.. or something. It bugs me when people say it is, even though someone's likely to disprove me.

perhaps l337 has become so popular and mainstream it has saturated the "trendy". Seriousely. Can you go anywhere where someone doesn't "speak" l337 or some nonsense. Its rediculous. They have no idea what the start bar is yet they know l33t, Seems like a perfect market to exploit. Get them while its "cool" or some shit. bait. hook. score.

Even if they do know that there's more than operating system on this planet, that doesn't give them the right t0 t@Ik l1k3 741$.

Post by: Refalm on 7 February 2004, 01:48: It's because UBB clears it's cache every 6 hours. Some of the cache can even get stuck on the server :rolleyes:

I don't have DSL either, I have cable :rolleyes:

But anyway, I don't want to block images from a server which hosts lots of images, just because your signature happens to be large.
