Some kind of language using look-alike characters. 1337 = leet

it's called "leet speak"

I think it was created because some chat rooms have filters that block out certain words.

Its also to throw off some web spiders that go through looking for "illegal" happenings on the web

If you CR4C|< software you're not going to get found as soon as CRACK Software.

I think its pretty retarded myself but *shrug* whoami??
