What's with reversing letters etc?

I think it's kind of like the "Is Suck" thing that started over at Anand. Somebody does it once, and it sort of catches on.

I believe somebody mis-typed it (porn), and like Stosh says, it stuck.

I actually read about it on a cover page at another forum, but I'm at work and the connection to that page is at home.

I'll dig it up and post a link here this weekend when I get the chance.

I've been reversing the two "oo"s in my name for weeks now. It used to be "Boom" and now it is "Boom". I was surprised that none of you noticed.

Who thinks this is the stupidest thing I have ever posted here?

So it's You!
I thought it was another Boom


Life is an incurable disease that inexorably lead to death.

I think it's supposed to be a combination of ye olde hacker talk and newer-style gaming lingo (which Gamespy have not been shy to use I can tell you )

Anyway, I usually spell it as pron in IRC. Force of habit



Who needs crack, when you have chocolate?

That was stupid Boom.

pr0n came from the olden days of l33t hax0r speak. (that is "leet hacker speak", further b0rken down as "elite hacker speak")

it's so any searches (this was before the days of search engines) would not find their huge repositories of binaries of nekkid people.

b0rken...well... I believe the origin of this was a post by Dopefish from the last time the forums crapped out? Which may or may not have been a typo.

But as for the rest of it, it's what I referred to as l33t hax0rspeak, but for PuF'ers it's a tongue in cheek way of talking.

Except for those of us who _are_ l33t hax0rz. Ph34r us.
