Quoting is an easy way of replying, brings you right to the post screen.

Everyone does it, the reason I even said anything is becuase if a user has a slow connection (dial up) it has to download alot of extra needless info and makes it even slower.

Right under thier post there is a button "Post Reply" on the left side of the screen. Just hit that

as stated, old but still funny. I printed this off in my college class and left it there for people to read lol

 

[Danimal]

Done before.

 

[Tr0n]

Done before.

Many times.

 

[Stigmata]

"pr0n": An anagram of "porn," possibly indicating the use of pornography.

Possibly? Possibly?

Oh, and one more thing:

"w00t" or the smiley character \o/: An acronym that means "We Own the Other Team," used to celebrate victory in a video game.

I was previously unaware of this. This really confuses me... as I've now actually learned something from the Microsoft website.

[Jangle]

"pwn": A typo-deliberate version of own, a slang term used to express superiority over others that can be used maliciously, depending on the situation. This could also be spelled "0\/\/n3d" or "pwn3d," among other variations. Online video game bullies or "griefers" often use this term.

:O online video game bullies?

couldnt you just shoot them in the face?

[Computer5k]

I never realized woot actually meant something

such as spelling "phonetic" as "f0|\|371(."

Wow, the spelt phonetic in 1337

 

[Murray]

I was previously unaware of this. This really confuses me... as I've now actually learned something from the Microsoft website.

Ditto. I never knew "w00t" and "\o/" had anything in common, although they are usually used when something unexpected occurs that in most cases are profitable(spelling?) for the person who used it.

 

[15357]

useful but i dont know what 1337 means though.....

*crys*

 

[MarcoPollo]

My moms just gotten used to me playing a game and every once in a while yelling out really loudly OWNED or WTF YOU STUPID ASS or PWND ROFL (yes i actually pronounce rofl) or OMF HAXXORS <---inside joke (inside meh head tehehe)

 

[Swift]

I have never ever heard anyone ever say "Spl0itz"

 

[johnmedz]

ya ive never heard of sploitz before either. that just sounds stupid.i love the part about ph for f, where the example is ph34r my 1337 5kiLLz. i wonder how long this guy researched 1337speak.

 

[MarcoPollo]

[gh0st]
