Easter egg in bitcointalk

[Tytanowy Janusz]

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."

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!!!"

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.

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

There is a member who suggested to have 'leet' for merit point. That's crazy.

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).
