With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
People used to use it as a "cool" fad, but now, as the Barron said, it's become sarcasm. People use it to pick on the people who use it.
For example, if I were ever to say, "You are teh 1337 suxxorz!!111," I wouldn't be implying that I'm fluent in "Leet speak." It would be more of a joke.
There used to be a time where, on some forums, every other post would be in leet, and purposely so. Then all those people got flamed out of using it, or just got tired of it because people would misinterpret what they say (because it's h4rd to r34d s0m37h!ng wr!773n in 1337).
I have no idea where the "zorz" part of it came from. It sounds funny, and once you start saying it, it becomes addicting.... Just try not to say it in the "real world."
