Mods,
While my post count was at 1337, my post count read, "leet."
Is this some sort of moderator joke? Are there other post counts that are represented by words?
Does this mean you can change Prytania's post count to say "Posts: Foracle"?
Anxiously awaiting your answer,
Noodled

Yes, apparently, that's a programmer's joke that was built into the software.
Best,

I don't get it. I mean, I can read it -- I just don't understand what you're trying to say. |

Norvell is trying to say that he has been deranged by a computer.

It wasn't about the content of the message (though some online gaming addicts may feel this way). I was merely trying to point out that Leetspeak has evolved into its own dialect...

Don't forget to pick up your prize when you hit Leet.

I am going to reach leet soon.
This is almost as exciting as getting to the Lodge! (this is false)
I'll have to decide how to approach the momentous occasion. It's not exactly a coming-of-age deal like 1K is. It's not really much of anything. But I can't deny, I'm trembling with anticipation.
...probably I'll just forget about it until post 1338 and then smack myself for blinking.

The thing is that you are only leet for about a second. Then you are just another slob in the crowd. A sad metaphor for so much of my life.

Perhaps I should stop at "leet" and start a new moniker. Then, a few years from now, I will have amassed an army of leets that are just sitting around in the Lodge, smiling but never speaking. |

Of course, I start arguing with invinoveritas and miss "leet", just as I predicted. *sigh* |

You are among the Pure and Truthful, however small their Number.
My goodness, that was an exceptionally good analysis of the forum. |
