Obvioiusly I am leet!!!!
« on: February 19, 2013, 10:39:22 AM »


I noticed it when posting today and it stayed for a few minutes then went back to normal.

For all of the more mature crowd:

Quote
leet
A derivitave of the 80's software piracy scene. Originally "elite" was used to show status on a BBS. Commonly the people who cracked the software, or had sysop access on a board would be referred to as Elite. Later it became common to just use "leet." With the internet explosion it was later used to describe hackers as well as crackers. Due to it being great to be known as leet, newbies started adopting the term and using to describe themselves, often with numerical variations. Anyone who considers themselves "leet" should be able to tell you who/what Razor1911 is, anyone failing to answer this question should be laughed at.

Yep, you're leet all right--congratulations on reaching 1334 posts!

That's what the software here does, although I have no idea why.

When one reaches that number, instead of "1334" showing up, "leet" does.

And then with the following post, it goes back to numbers.

Watch for any of the next ones up:

namvet 1321 posts (but hasn't been around since August 2011, so not likely)
LadyLiberty 1316 posts (but hasn't been around since March 2010, so not likely)
FlaGator 1291 posts (currently active)

Yeah I of course know that too, but didn't recognize my post count.

I thought it was 1337.

I'm old enough to remember when it was still funny.  Now it just makes me feel sad.

The fact you were playing BF2 and not BF3 with it's 10 expansion packs makes you un-leet.

I was in the Alpha and Beta test of BF3. That game sucks. They tried to make it too much like COD. That's what EA gets for dropping half the original Dev team that started it.

COD and BF3 have both bit the console bullet.

I have been playing CS:GO since it came out.

Until COD and BF3 realize there is still a huge market for us PC players, I am not sure they will get much more of my money.

I did have a couple hundred hours on BF3 but one of the big patches screwed that all up.
