We might as well make a rule that bans the use of adjectives while we're at it.

Thank you for drawing the forum's collective attention to the similarity between an essential and universal grammatical device for describing things, and an inane method of misspelling words. I'm writing that one down in my big book of revelatory knowledge. It's in there right next to Intelligent Design.

I can almost smell a 4 letter acronym coming up in response to this...

um, what does "1337" stand for?

I'll go back to the basics, although Tubbs will probably have the time to answer this before I finish typing what I have to type. Back when the internet was just a baby, lots of people were talking on servers in something similar to the Symphony X chat and some wanted to talk about hacking. The admins or moderators didn't approve of this so these hackers were forced to invent a simple language to talk about hacking right under the admins noses. As the admins grew wise to this, the hackers were forced to make their simple language more complex and hard to decipher in order to keep conversing about hacking without the admins knowing what they were talking about. This language was named h4x0r, or haxor. 1337 is just one of the many words commonly used in this language, it was derived from the word "elite". Elite -> leet -> 1337, get it? Numbers and symbols are combined to form the appearance of letters in this language, for example: "MJR is an awesome guitarist". This sentence can become many things, my version would be
"/\/\J12 15 4I\I 4\/\/350/\/\3 6u174r157" I think it's clear enough now.

You should probably take note that this is an internet forum and there is no need to speak proper English.

1337 is.... you know what? I'm not even going to explain it.

Here.

EDIT: hahaha I didn't notice Mr. Fast's post!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Nobody starts speaking 1337 intentionally. It starts out using tiny abbreviations here and there and then it starts getting worse untill you've reached the point of no return like me and Tubbs. And yeah, I'm a proud nerd and virtuoso 1337sp33ker. Power to the nerd community! Elitism, my friends!

 

[Thraxz]

I say ban it, it's nothing but annoying.

 

[Tubbs]

I've seen how you talk to other people on this forum, and I would have to say that you are also very annoying.
