Well, I see two options.

Option A) Punch each of them in their jugular vien until they're either unconcious or dead.

Option B) Tie them to the front of a truck and run into jersey-bumpers repeatedly.

I can make out a few words of it, but when whole sentenses are typed up like that I just have trouble distinguishing anything. :?

I found the old thread, but since necroposting is TEH 3V1L, I'll just copy and paste.

Direct translation:

The history of leet:

Leetspeak actually comes from the early days of hacking. It was made to avoid evil robots that would seek and 0wn the hackers threads on the boards. The robots hunted for the words that hackers used. Leet was made to fool the robots, 'cause the hackers could change the spelling before the robots could learn them. Hackers went to the games and used the leet. The leet hackers became the leet gamers. Later, the other gamers used leet to be cool.


(Here is a more detailed version so it makes even more 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.
