l337 speak started about 9 years ago because AOL blocked words like porn, hacker and others. So to say hacker they typed 4acker, then it evolved. That's the origin of this language. You guys don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, AOL is the root of all evil on the internet. No, 1337 speak did not start with AOL. I remember seeing it all the way back before the internet and AOL ever got started.

E_Sol is right though... :gives:
