"Leet Speak"

[[Ghost]]

[4sylum]

hey death dragon











wug

[[Ghost]]

.... dont **** me off

[Silver Ice]

wug is really annoying. as for me whenever i have an item for trade and someone wants it i just say "offer?" its much more acceptable... and i think the leet speak should be banned to a certain extent where only a bit of it is allowed.

[A|fzZz]

yea...i like Nublis idea...
I i still kind of like wtf...u dun expect to see 'what the "F"' dun u?

I am glad to join you all. I've got into the habit of typing properly and I NEVER abbreviate with a few exceptions like: Lol, Wtf(obviously.) But with things like that it's not like you would type out Laugh out Loud. It loses it's effectiveness in that respect and haha would sound a little sarcastic so that's probably the big exception. I even type with correct punctuation! It's not that people have to be perfect, but they just make more of an effort to at least spell properly and not use so much slang all the time.

Leet speak is sorta nerdy. The farthest I'd swing that way would be omg, lol, or rofl.

[Aemaeth]

Hmm, I disagree with wtf and omg, But all that numerized leet SHITE should be Filtered out. You do it with swear words, So do it with them EG HaXxor Should be changed to a different word, Maybe a sentence like "I cant spell" or some humiliating Sentence/word like that.

[endromada]

yeah... if you ask me these are ok:
lol
wtf
rofl
lmao
pwns and ownz (just becasue they sound cool )
not good:
(prettyy much all stupid totally pointless spellnigs that aren't even abreviatons... i mean, Roxors? umm yeah rocks or pwns are better and shorter... and j00? Wtf is up with that?
yeah... that was my little rant...

[Siluru]

"pwns" IMHO is retarded... but I like Abiosis's idea, make it something humilating.

[endromada]

but.. but... i like pwns... ok so it dumb but still, its fun to say

[Siluru]

How the hell do you pronounce "pwn"?

[endromada]

pawn...

and i still don't know what IMO and some other ones mean...
anyone know?

[Siluru]

I "pawned" you! Umm...right..
"IMO" and "IMHO" are "In my opinion" and "In my honest opinion"

omg I hate when i go into a trade game and I take the time to type out what I'm selling or looking for and then some idiot runs up to me and I open trade and they're like "WUG DURRRRR"
pisses the hell out of me

Use punctuation... so much easier to read.

And go here for something funny, and when you can't read it anymore, you will see why it's so hard to keep up with "leet speak."
