Just wondering...

[Vegeto25]

I don't want to show my age or anything, but what the heck does "roxxor 1111!!!111!!!!" mean?

[Charaxes]

"roxxor" is how the kids today say "that rocks".

And the "!!!!111!!!11" is just exlamation points in succession, then leaving your finger of the shift button, making 111's. This is exaggerated for comedic effect.

Here's an urban dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com) for you, so you can figure out what those kids are talking about.

Thanks, I'm only 28 and I already find myself trying to figure out what those kids are talking about.

hell, I'm only 21, and I have to use that site more than I'd like to admitt...

[andrewtarius]

It's "r0x0r" ;) .

I means "That rocks!" or similar depending on its context. It's l337 (leet; elite) speak. Numbers or symbols are substituted for letters in its own language. It was developed so people wouldn't know what you were talking about through various chats or online forums. Pretty much, its a online version of pig latin. And the "!11!!!!!!" comes from people typing too fast. People often make fun of that by typing "!!!!111!!1oneoneone."

It's not that hard to decipher once you get the hang of it.

We could debate how childish or not it is, but I'd just rather explain to you what it is.

Holy carp, I'm slow.

Well, that and l33t speak is utterly retarded. Yeah, I said it.

[Vegeto25]

There's a lot on there I've never heard of and there's a lot that I'm going to start using.

Isn't it "Fo' shizzle?" and not "For shizzle?"

gotta type quicker, man...

To quote Trudy from Reno 911:

F you! F you, and #### you!

Yes, dammit, you're right!

While we're at it, what is l33t?

And I'll assume pwns=owns?

Here's what they mean:

pwns (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwns)

[Charaxes]

oops...

I mean: l33t (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=l33t)

You could just say that it usually looks like this: sad98f76sd8f76saadsf7865sdf 8sda5f785fasdsad7f 5d7f 6df 65dfs765dfsa75 dsaf6dsa af76ds

And for the most part, the people that use it think they are being cool, when it's truly the only meaning left for their miserable little lives......

[venarnage]

where did this come from?

[andrewtarius]

I think it came from a thread (trading thread) title "*something* w00t, roxxors!!1!! and all that good stuff."

[Vegeto25]

I've seen several people post similar nonsense.

I've seen several people post similar nonsense.

Back when I was running my own forum, I had several members use l33t speak all the friggin' time. I pretty much just let them go. They kept it to the discussion pages, and left it out of the core of the site (It was a creative writing RPG, with one hell of a rules set. I was working around the clock to keep characters updated, because they loved it so damn much. The average player was writing 2000 words a day there.)

I had a player use l33t in his "battle post" with another player. I don't even remember how he used it anymore, but I DO remember that I hated it so much that I threw my very best NPC in there to kill him. Then I created a few NPC's to chase him around in hell (your RPGing didn't stop after death....) and just continually make his life miserable. He asked me why I was being such an ###, and I told him: "Because you haven't learned to stop using l33t in your RPG posts." I never saw l33t in his posts again, nor from anyone else. And I gave him all of his stuff back that I had continually stolen from him (I had left him alone for a week or two so that he could work in a tavern in Hell, earn some cash, buy a bunch of stuff, and then my NPC's would take it all from him again). Then he got his life back, and all was good again.

God, I miss being able to abuse power........but it was a valuable lesson with little consequence in the end.

Come to think of it, I miss writing......
