The Geek Hierarchy: Visualizing the Levels of Geekdom

In summary, a group of people stumbled upon a chart that ranks people on their geekiness. They discuss the hierarchy and how it is based on opinion rather than fact. They also mention an updated version of the chart and their placement on it. Someone makes a comment about using LEET language and others join in, arguing about the correct spelling. Finally, someone shares a link to a thread discussing the same topic and expresses excitement about becoming a "1337 hero."

Lol, I found this a long while ago. I like how they determine the hierarchy, since it rules out critical debate, relying solely on opinion (which is what the whole bloody chart is, anyway).

Oh, this actually seems to be an updated version of the one I got. Cool.
