This later turned into a condition where having "elite" status on a BBS allowed a user access to file areas, games, and special chat rooms, often including archives of pirated software, pornography, and text files of dubious quality documenting topics such as how to construct explosives and manufacture illegal drugs.

He noticed that one of the evil robots in the first issue (February, 1963) is named "H8" which is leetspeak (or at least IMspeak) for "hate" and could, for all I know, be one of the first appearances of a such a word.
