Heh. Leet was originally on very old hacker message boards, kinda spread into gaming and eventually the rest of us. They wanted to be l33t, but it became too mainstream and when everybody knows your 53k1237 (0|)3, it's not secret anymore.
I am fluent in the older and now archeic forms, and can read some of the thicker leetish accents, but refuse to speak them except in mockery. I type my own fucking t's damn it.
Edit: Any newbies (nobody but me spells it like that anymore...) out there can win a million favor points just by spelling out full words and using proper punctuation or grammar. Not that you'd gain anything by befriending me except an intangible personality attached to a lunatic with a fedora and dreams of adventure in days past. Any maybe I don't even want to know
you! Ok, that's enough out of me now. I need to get some sleep.
