Title: Newbies wondering what's up with everyone saying 'n00b' and 'l33t' all the time?
Post by: Phemar on Sun 02/05/2004 07:33:56
I know some newbies may be wondering just what the hell 'l33t' and 'n00b' and 'sux0rs' mean. I know I had a problem when I first joined the forums, but was just too embarrassed to ask. Well now I shall help you fellow n00bs, to undertsand our 'light' h4x0r 5p34x!

Just check this out: Learn to speak 13370r 5p34x! (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A787917)

Disclaimer: Please note that just now because you have learned to speak 3l33t, do not go using it on the forums. It will not be appreciated by most people I know, and you will ne more likely laughed at than helped.

Oh yes, and l33t speak does not mean you're cool if you use it!

Cheers, and hope this helps!

Don't learn.

I prefer to use one of two much more complicated systems.

The first is to communicate in a complex array of numbers that represent letters and words, but to use letters to reprent these numbers, for example, "lEEl ZqEhK" is how I would spell 1337 5p34x, which is a variant on l33t speak for "elite speech systems."

Instead of "h4x0r" or "sux0rs", I would write "khkqP\" and "ZVkqP\Z"

It's basically Russian with some extra things.

I also like the communication system of writing out onethreethreeseven fivepeethreefourex speak in words and syllabics.

So, to say "hax0r" or "sux0rs" I would instead write "aechfourexzeroarr" and "esseweexzeroarress."  This is how you get into hilarious and SUPER 1337 conversations by combining both systems, such as:

onezeroone, nq, nq, nqexclamationmarkexclamationmarkoneone, aeoneone vQV aechfourexzeroarrzz zVDh N\v ayfivefive.

Heh, try this L33t-5p34K G3n3r@t0r: http://www.planetblackandwhite.com/features/cardboardbox/1337guide/translator.shtml
Hmmm, I know there's a script that automatically "removes txt style spelling" from the board, imagine how great it would be if we had that translator processing every post? This could be the most 133t message board on the net!
