It's just an easter egg and has nothing to do with Bitcointalk. It's something SMF (the forum software we're using) has done.

This is one question probably asked by thousands of people in the forum. Each time someone notices this, they create a thread instead of google/search on forum. What about adding a link to a "leet" thread beside the word "leet"? I guess that would be good however, people being much worry wouldn’t anymore be worried LOL.
