    I saw that. My sister showed it to me. And that's about when I joined 1337.com

    I had wondered what would come up if I typed 1337.com in
    and I got this
    and after a long debate, I joined...

    XD

    That's one nice explanation right there. Damn, they covered everything...

    Leetspeak is a form of written slang or street talk for the information highway. It is sometimes used to create group identity and to obscure meaning from outsiders, especially newbies (which may be written n00bs).
