Title: Easter egg in bitcointalk
Post by: Tytanowy Janusz on September 22, 2019, 04:26:50 PM
I've just found Easter egg in post counter:

"Leet (or "1337"), also known as eleet or leetspeak, is a system of modified spellings used primarily on the Internet. It often uses character replacements in ways that play on the similarity of their glyphs via reflection or other resemblance. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet)"

Give me 2 min to delete 1 old post to get back to 1337 from 1338. I'll leave it like that till Tuesday (self-muted). Admire :)

@suchmoon - Christopher Columbus seeing America as first from old land said - I'm finally in India. Hello Indians. :) - At least i knew it's America :)

It's not that you're wrong... you did find it but it's more like getting off a plane at JFK and saying "I found America!!!"  ;D

Well, this "feature" comes with SMF (the forum software we are using), so it's a pretty old one.

Btw, googling site:bitcointalk.org leet post count shows 238 results. :P

The first mention of the SMF "leet" feature which I found dates back to the 2005 year: https://simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=52259.0

That all? I'd have thought it was higher...


Yeah most of us have come across leet by now (seemingly one of the first meme-type expressions to come from the computer using community)... shame there aren't more quirks added on these numbers (especially for the sub-10000 category).
