I'm a victim of Leet Post Count Poof

[darklus123]

This LEET post count scares me abit lol.  I know that it is just for fun but I hope theymos could change that one soon cause basically I was just freaking out while watching to why this happens to my account's post count.

Shame on me I should have known it earlier.

Newbies please be guided and try to escape post 1337 or just don't try to notice it for your own good.

There are several topics about it (I know I've also opened one similar topic a few hundred posts ago )
But I doubt that newbies will get to 1337 posts without ranking up on the way
But who knows, this 1 merit for Jr. rule will make this possible also, so it's OK to warn newbies about it

I remember seeing it myself, wondered WTF it was all about & found a similar thread. A lot of noobs will probably think WTF when they reach the milestone too

If you have been in the forum since 2016 you must know it by now that theymos is applying a lot of Easter eggs and pranks specially on April Fool's in the website. You must remember recently that this year's April Fools we have this kind of stats under our name which has "politeness", "fMerit", "Imagination", "Karma", and many others just to prank us all, I had to admit it I was fooled to but trying to research it first before panicking is the best way to calm down. I think it is also good that they are doing that as it keeps the forum something to talk about outside of its common topics.

Ha ha hah.  I can't remember when I was at leet, but it was quite a while ago.  It's so fleeting, though.  Not even sure if I noticed it at the time.

That was a good one this year.  Lots of noobs actually thought there were a whole slew of new statistics to fret about, and they seemed genuinely bewildered going by their posts in Meta. 

I actually had more "politeness" than I probably deserved.  And karma has yet to catch up to me.
