Basic translation (alittle more detailed to make sense):
The History of "Leet":
"leetspeak" comes from the early days of the internet, and of hacking. At the time, hacking was becoming more threatning to companies. To counteract hacking, and the passing on of techniques, they created automated bots that would read BBS, and flag and report discussions containing words related to hacking. To counteract these bots, hackers created a new method of alternative spelling, which allowed banned terms to be used without triggering the bots. By varing their spelling, hackers could change spellings before the bots could learn them, and still remain understandable. As internet speeds increased, online gaming became popular, and many of the hackers began gaming, using "leet", often as taunts. leetspeak became a symbol of the upper echlon of gaming, and many of the best players used it. Eventually, the lesser players began using it themselves, in emulation of the greater players, and it filtered down through the internet world, where it is now commonplace.
