Haha. Binary?

I could probably figure out what it says (if it means anything), but I do enough of that stuff in my college classes.

Nadasee · Nov 05, 2006, 04:04 PM // 16:04

Not really. I signed a 2yr contract with a special deal when the 650 was released. As a result, I have a corporate rate + free internet for 2 years.

After my contract expires, my internet would cost $15/month, which is really no more expensive than dial-up. However, I'll be fininshed with nursing school by then, so I doubt I will keep the internet then.

Completely illegible posts are subject to moderation - and I can not guarantee their accuracy of 'translating' the author???s original message."

I really don't understand this rule.. is it a bannable offense to tlk lyk ths? I mean, i just talk like it would be written 'cos it looks good, but seriously, does this need to be a rule and why?

There doesn't "need" to be a rule saying that you can't throw your
garbage out the window into the street either.

But then it's nice to know that their are people that insist on trying
to maintain some level of civilization in society.

If I wanted a challenge, I would simply try to find the elite mission and not try to decipher this crap.

Commander Ryker · Nov 05, 2006, 07:59 PM // 19:59

This would be a good rule if people actually read it and it was enforced. I see so much of this short hand crap and it just makes me crazy. Words are shortened that don't have to be, like the afore mentioned "you" or purposely mispelled, like teh for the. When did that become a word anyway?

Note to The Pointless and Pyrea:I learned to type on a manual typewriter and learned, not only to spell everything correctly but to do it fast as well. Hehehe.....beat that!

For the love of god I dont use 1337 speak, binary, or want it banned, I was just wandering should it be a rule?

P.S Im so crap at 1337 speak i found a translator oO"

Google Ftw!

Cherno · Nov 05, 2006, 08:46 PM // 20:46

Because if it is a big enough problem and they get reprimanded by the moderators they will complain.

Why would you need a popup to warn you? When you sign up for the forums you are expected to agree to and read the terms of service which include the rules.

Mournblade · Nov 05, 2006, 09:44 PM // 21:44

You've just proven exactly why it should be a rule. good lord...

Skids · Nov 05, 2006, 11:14 PM // 23:14

I have enough trouble trying to get my son to write properly. Seeing someone type what is basically trash is annoying and doesn't make me see that person as anything other than someone who is mentally retarded. In fact its worse than that as the less abled have an excuse for it.
