Just read another article on leet. Apparently some people now think |337 just isn't as cool as it used to be.

Some even suggest that |337 is the new sign of n008age.

What do you think?

  Which is probably a sure sign or maturity and refinement. So, you might take it as a good thing.

  I know I'm not geeky enough. I was wondering if Dane was speaking English or what language? I didn't recognize it, that's for sure!

I am not a leek speaker (using ASCII characters to replace Latinate letters) and I don't have a clue what you are going on about. I also hate text speak.
So would you care to try enlightening me?

  Thanks voodoo. I wasn't up to focusing on that translation sheet on wikipedia and figuring out what it said. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

  No I don't dangit. Coping with learning disabilities I'm used to. Coping with migraines well, what choice do I have? I did find the translation key but I was royally peeved off that my sight is so bad today that I couldn't focus well enough to translate it.

  That seems to be the consensus. Any reason why for you personally?
2. 9/14/08

  I never thought it was. But I do like the term noob. And I think it's OK to write n00b and w00t but everything else is just silly.
  
  I'm not real big on LOL language either, for that matter. I don't mind a few acronyms to make writing faster, but the rest is just nonsense.
  
  Besides, I prefer Pig Latin
3. 9/14/08
  
  timethief
  
  How about pig-less Latin? I can handle some.
  BTW I've always used n00b.
4. 9/14/08
  
  DaneMorgan
  
  I never liked LOL... Don't know why. Have no good reason. Just never did.
  
  Do you follow the distinction between n00b and newb, with the former derogatory and the latter simply an expression of progression?
5. 9/14/08
  
  timethief
  
  Oh no! I did not know that. Thanks.
  I have now officially changed to newb or newbie.
6. 9/14/08
  
  Anniepooh
  
  Haha, Pig Latin for the web.
7. 9/14/08
  
  Anok
  
  I thought both were derogatory within the specific context, actually.
  
  Which, you know, is mean, but appropriate in some cases.
8. 9/14/08
  
  DaneMorgan
  
  I suppose they could both be intended as such, but n00b is formulated for the purpose, while newb is the same as newbie, and many businesses are actually built on helping self identified newbies.
9. 9/14/08
  
  Anok
  
  Well, I direct n00b to my youngest brothers all the time, anyway.
  
  They seem to enjoy it in a weird way.
  
  I have a sick family. *hangs head in shame*

  It's not my delicate nature, it's that the balaclava is too damned hot in the sun.
  
  It's brutal!

  When I get a burka? Or burqa... heh.
  
  See:
  
  Balaclava
  
  (Or, heh, go here and scroll down cgi.ebay.nl/Black-Double-Eye-Thermal-Balaclava-100-Cotton_W0QQitemZ31007759...)
  
  And, Burqa:
  
  See how the balaclava is much hotter and meaner? (I mean, you know, hot)
  
  Oh, I LIKE being antagonized though.
  
  Maybe I've said to much...

  Don't worry Dane it's how men and women communicate, they simply antagonize each other but at the end of the day the WOMEN WINS! *snickers*

  You'll have to take a new pic to prove it. From the current pic it really could be either.
  
  Come one, you've GOT to appreciate the juxtaposition of the Anarchist in the Burqa!

  SHEESH ... All offspring are the legitimate progeny of their biological parents. It's just the religiously challenged who insist the parents must be legally married.
6. 9/14/08
  
  Anok
  
  Yeah, I think they are.
7. 9/14/08
  
  DaneMorgan
  
  But not all offspring are the socially acceptable heirs to their parents status.
8. 9/14/08

  Actually it's a socioeconomic construct, not a religious one. Religion found it already in place and useful.

  I have noticed that...don't tell the mister it will go away though, he'll cry.

  I've been married for a very long time.
  It doesn't go away - thank goodness.
  But there are short recovery breaks.
  
  Moving right along. How's your weather?
  Ours is gloriously sunny.
7. 9/14/08

  Yes, thankfully LOL.

For hours I've been scared of venturing into this thread as I had no clue wtf it meant. Now I see I've missed the discussion of the day.

So...if I may ask - does the blurb in the thread title really mean anything in "leet speak?"

Wait a minute. I don't even know where I am. I fee like Henry Winkler in that scene in Waterboy where he's supposedly on the phone...

"but Grandma!!!"

I've never felt more like a Hall and Oates song in my entire life:
