Is it just me who thinks it's not funny when certain people (I'm sure it's in their best intention of trying to be funny, 'en vogue', or look like a cool hacker) write 1337 speak IN THE TITLE so that the title search will skip their threads?
It could be understandable if they tried to be anonymous writing their posts entirely in leet so that the advanced search would skip their posts too. But their posts are usually an arbitrary and weak imitation of ancient hacker communication or cool modern slang. They don't do the trick...
It already hurts my eyes reading stuff entirely in lower case, no punctuation, and zero format... bad leet makes it even worse (good one could be funny in the joke thread).

Just had to tell you.... sorry for the inconvenience!

PS The title is in leet and reads like Dear user, don't mess with the title, please!

Man Harry, that's leet! It's not only supposed to be cryptic but also funny in a way. And in the circles commonly used, 'bitches' is a nice term and it replaces the 'Dear users'. The OMG (Contextual 'over my grave' and not 'oh my god') means 'please' and is also perceived as kind by those peepz. Additionally, leet does not follow the same grammar than plain English. Only the meaning counts and it's read more with intuition than intelligence.

But that proves that you're also someone who can't deal with 1337 :D .
That means, we're so far two against zero, aren't we?

Harry, please, give me a hand with this!

Don't you think that titles like 'Critic@l Ku5h (B@rney's)', 'Blu3 Dr34m & Or1g1n4l Amn3s14 HYDRO 400/800WATT', 'Blu3B3rry_T@ngerin3 Dr3am_D1n@chem - 400W - 2nd Attempt' and '[Bl4ck V4lley - Ripp3r S3ed - IN 400W HPS]' are useless?
Coincidence or not, but these examples are all from the Italian forum (and I don't mind them using leet cause I don't speak Italian LoL). Still, I hope you got my point...

This reminds me if the movie Idiocracy where the English language is unrecognizable in the future.
But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valley girl, inner city slang, and various grunts.
We are already there.

I lost a little faith in humanity trying to read that gibberish.
