"leet speak"

[Leviathan]

Okay so there is all this junk about leet speak or "1337 5p34|<" I do admit it was cool at first but I am just so sick of hearing it. I am wondering why people think it is cool to type in letters and if it is a code it isn't a very good one i mean look at it. and how many people on the forums agree with me. I doubt most people don't even know the REAL meaning of 1337.

This alphabet, as best put. Was developed along time ago, if I remember correctly. It was used to keep admin's from filtering out postings that carried key words like. Hacker or h4ck3r or h4x0r, or several variouse other types. I personally like it, not for what it is, but for it's success in keeping free speech alive.

Just my two cents

id advise that you move this/delete it now. Otherwise you will more than likely have it closed and lose hundreds of points, i wont neg you, but it looks like someone else already has..
