Geek not nerds.  While we have a few nerds around here, most of us are geeks.

And I think the hilarious part is that you seemed surprised when it went from 1337 to 1338 after you posted again.   :cheers:

The system was designed so that anyone who posts about their leet status automatically gets their status removed, because the truly leet would not be posting about it.

It didn't go from 1337 to 1338. It went from leet to 1338. He just didn't know that leet = 1337.  :dizzy:

1337 = short for elite.

i think it is the other way around, leet is short for 1337

leet = one thousand three hundred thirty seven

Yup.  To retain elite status, you need to stop posting.

It's not too late.

How can something 4 characters in length be short for something 4 characters in length?  ???

I'll clarify.  1337 is geek-short for elite.

No, no you're all wrong.   1337 isn't short for anything.  It's "leetspeak" for leet.    ;)

Then you throw it in an arrow to make it extra leet (or extra lame, depending on your point of view):

Maybe I havent reached full geek/nerd status, I really dont see the corrolation between 1337 and leet.

Is it an inside thing I dont understand?

Did someone have 1337 as an answer to a question on a calculator and they turned it upside down and decided 1337 spelled leet?

Is it like klingon speak?

  :dunno :dunno :dunno

Here's a primer from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet)

For 1337...   the 1 is a lowercase-L, the 3's are like backwards E's, and the 7 is a T that is very relaxed.   If you cross your eyes in just the right way, you'll see it.  ;)

And now you see why Saint, and most other normal people, don't want leet speak on the forums.  Thank goodness.
