Hi everyone, I was reading Joke of the Day, and I happen to look at Aad's post count and look what it said?
I refreshed the page, and it was gone. :o
-
That means he reached the elite post count - 1337. :thumbs:
*sigh*
1337 = leet
1337
Hacker "Sp33k" for leet, or elite. Originating from 31337 "eleet", the UDP port used by Dead Cow Cult, a hacker group, to access Windows 95 using Back Orifice, a notorious hacking program.
L33t or Eleet (sometimes rendered leet, 1337, or 31337), also known as Leetspeak, is an alphabet used primarily on the Internet,
-
I've got a ways to go. ;D
-
And VSTEP, or at least one of the admins, decided it would be cool that if you have 1337 posts to just have it say leet.
-
Could also ofcourse be in the forum software, in which case it's a joke of one of those devs.
I don't know.. I only know it wasn't me! ;D
-
I'll go alongside with Fred on that...
Next one 1337 will be probably sturmfahrt (http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=12), so keep an eye on his post count. ;D
-
He has 8 posts left till the leet Post Rank
-
It's part of the forum software.. There is a mod by the Dev team that removes it from the software...
-
Ohh' Interesting...I don't ever recall having that. But then again, 1337 posts is a long time ago now, and I can't even remember what happened yesterday, so :doh:

Me too...
Shame I missed it :C
-
Especially you having almost 4000 :P
-
I have posted a few times here... :doh:
-
His count DOES show leet
Can someone PLEASE tell me what muppet decided that 1337 was such a special number?
-
Leet:
Also known as L337 or L33t or 1337. This is (amongst other things) a language used in chat rooms where letters are replaced by numbers and symbols (Iri5h J4ack for example). Words may also be mispelled.
It's a programmer's joke (I use the term loosely) and is apparently buried in a number of BBS software packages, in various guises.
So here, when the post count reached 1337, it states "leet". As another example, enter "BBS software leet" into Google. In the list of matches, it will highlight those words and the numbers 1337 and 337.
Programmers! Who'd have them?
Programmer's mothers :evil:

Terry, thanks for that definition. But if it's all the same to you, I'd use another word... And it is exactly the same as the one you use when describing people making pancakes or throwing a coin to decide head or tails...
That said these people do give out some damned good software for no charge, so I shan't be TOO critical of them :)

Why did you delete you'r account then? :D

That's no one's business, sorry, I'm not going to tell. Personal reasons that were fixed very soon. I almost left..
