Guess its their way of saying "Look at me! I'm different!"
Most people who speak 1337 aren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer either, since most aren't too well educated (thus the less than average command of the English language, despite the fact that it is their 1st language).Last edited by Jethro83; May 30, 2002, 02:58."Corporation, n, An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." -- Ambrose Bierce

It originated to get around censor programs, or other programs that network admins used that parsed text for certain words. Talking about "ass" over the university network might get you in trouble (to use a very lame example), but a program seeing the word "455" is unlikely to raise any alarms.
However, there are much more intelligent ways to have private conversations these days, and 1337 has been taken over by hacker-wannabe's. Negative attention is still attention.

It's been going on in the geek scene for years now, and it's slowly creeping into the AOLer lexicon and now kids everywhere are starting to use it
It's mostly an attention/elitist stunt."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Good riddance to a stupid, ridiculous, senseless waste of webspace. Those of you who missed it, consider yourselves lucky, for there was no punishment worse than visiting it.Originally posted by Chowlett

Perhaps that's what happened to the people who were running that site?
Maybe they killed an old pawn-broker with a hatchet, went mad, fell in love with a prostitute and were sent to Siberia where they underwent an epiphany and gradually regained their sanity and happiness through the peace and security of love.
Yeah .. that must be it.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

I tried reading my Dostoievski, but found it immensely dull after the first few chapters. So I went back to Gulliver's Travels.Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?
