What does "leet" means in my profile?

[akamit]

A few minutes ago it was showing my post count and suddenly now showing "leet" instead of post counts.
Is this an error or something else?





edit: haha, its normal now after creating this topic.

It means "elite", I think it's one of the ancient memes on the internet. I remember ages ago when I played videogames online, saying that you were "1337" meant that you were really good, and it is in ASCII code, "1337" = "leet" = "elite". It's just a really geeky homage to that by theymos as far as I know, or maybe it came like that by default in forum software.

Cool! upon reaching 1337 posts you'd be branded as "leet", and you got a screenshot for it. I bet most high rank did not see this (not that it's important), hope i wont forget this when the time comes.

It's a kind of joke from SMF forum script the dev. added, when a user made 1337 posts instead to display 1337 you will see leet or l33t
it came like that by default. And @BillyBobZorton is right, it's a meme at least 30 years old

That's a nice thing by Theymos.
If I knew it then I would not have posted the op to make my post count to 1338 for at least 1 day.  

It was awesome to stay at 1337 = leet for 1 day   crap big mistake I made.  

But at least I kept a screenshot of this awesome thing.

It's not something done by Theymos it's from Simple Machines Forum simplemachines.org

Delete 3 posts, never post again and keep being leet forever

I didn't notice this 'feature' when I hit 1337 posts and now I'm already at the 2270+ posts mark

Good idea...

let me delete 4 of my posts now and stay leet for 1 day... Forever is impossible I think...

edit: done

LOL. WOW this is awesome. I hope I get to 1337 posts so I can get leet!
Congrats on so many posts 😅

This is not something that need to be concern about, and also it's not impact good or bad your account, yeah hope someday some people who get this would not be panic. This is something unique that need to be captured.

The history

Years later, the impact of The Dead Cow Cul has already changed into a subculture of jargon and language. People that claim as now is no longer a bad hacker but shows about their cleverness in technological industry.

Of course that should be it then. And then remain stagnated for life.

In my life here I have noticed that twice on my profile. I thought it was a browser lag issue. But how come I got it twice in less than a month? Does it mean I made 1337 posts twice within that period?

leet = elite?

Aww! This should give Theymos an idea what rank to create next after Legendary.

It means your total post count was 1337 twice, so you must have had some posts lost when a thread got deleted.

Sorry for bumping this old topic but this is EPIC what I just found, double "leet"...
How cool is that ?

Grats on the status! I wonder if theymos would have reserved 31337 for eleet, provided anyone managed to reach that far!

Thanks to user Vod You can see the users with the most posts. Just check out BPiP

You'll see there are a couple users that have less that 10000 posts to go.
