I'm not making this up, it's in dictionary.com this is the entry:
1 entry found for warez d00dz.
warez d00dz
/weirz doodz/ n. A substantial subculture of
crackers refer to themselves as `warez d00dz'; there is evidently
some connection with B1FF here. As `Ozone Pilot', one former
warez d00d, wrote:
Warez d00dz get illegal copies of copyrighted software. If it has
copy protection on it, they break the protection so the software
can be copied. Then they distribute it around the world via
several gateways. Warez d00dz form badass group names like RAZOR
and the like. They put up boards that distribute the latest ware,
or pirate program. The whole point of the Warez sub-culture is to
get the pirate program released and distributed before any other
group. I know, I know. But don't ask, and it won't hurt as much.
This is how they prove their poweress [sic]. It gives them the
right to say, "I released King's Quest IVXIX before you so
obviously my testicles are larger." Again don't ask...
The studly thing to do if one is a warez d00d, it appears, is emit
`0-day warez', that is copies of commercial software copied and
cracked on the same day as its retail release. Warez d00ds also
hoard software in a big way, collecting untold megabytes of
arcade-style games, pornographic JPGs, and applications they'll
never use onto their hard disks. As Ozone Pilot acutely observes:
[BELONG] is the only word you will need to know. Warez d00dz want
to belong. They have been shunned by everyone, and thus turn to
cyberspace for acceptance. That is why they always start groups
like TGW, FLT, USA and the like. Structure makes them happy. [...]
Warez d00dz will never have a handle like "Pink Daisy" because
warez d00dz are insecure. Only someone who is very secure with a
good dose of self-esteem can stand up to the cries of fag and
girlie-man. More likely you will find warez d00dz with handles
like: Doctor Death, Deranged Lunatic, Hellraiser, Mad Prince,
Dreamdevil, The Unknown, Renegade Chemist, Terminator, and Twin
Turbo. They like to sound badass when they can hide behind their
terminals. More likely, if you were given a sample of 100 people,
the person whose handle is Hellraiser is the last person you'd
associate with the name.
The contrast with Internet hackers is stark and instructive. See
cracker, wannabee, handle, elite; compare weenie, spod.

Hi! I recently found my way back here and was feeling nostalgic. On the off chance that someone comes by here and remembers me, feel free to shoot me a line over on twitter.

These days I teach programming and design games. I'm in Seattle. This was a really cool place to hang out growing up, even if most of y'all were in a totally different timezone.
