Interesting story, but I doubt that the "!!!!1!!11one!!" part is to make fun of leet.
On the contrary, I'd say that this was to make fun of people who type in all caps (using Shift). In their hurry to write a great all-caps comment, they miss the Shift key once in a while, leaving a '1' behind instead of '!'. If anything, this would be the "elite" group making fun of noobs who can't type properly. Dusting in some "one" or "eleven" is just the next step in geeky humor.
- baddox 16y agoYou're certainly correct.
- rue 16y ago1337 != actual elite.

- reeses 16y agoThat's why I make sure to throw in a !!!!!!!!!-e^(pi*i)!!!!!! every so often.
