Good question.

I've mostly seen it in subject titles and they're told me reasons like it makes it look fun and makes it stand out.

I suppose it looks slightly cryptic? (Not really.)

Personally, in email subjects, I think they type it like that to get around filters people put in place on certain wors, such as sex, or home business, or whatever. Some people think it will get their emails through anyway.

Those filters use strtolower(), word case is a non-issue.

That style was/is popular with the cracker kiddies. It looks like other kiddies (and it's usually the young folks and college-age malcontents) have picked up on the style. I usually ignore threads, posts, and pages that use that style. Heck, I almost didn't read this thread but then I saw who started it.

That seems to fall under the Pool Rules.

"Please use the space bar. Posts without spaces are difficult to read and may be deleted. Any posts, or parts therein, written in CAPITAL LETTERS, are looked upon as shouting and therefore impolite. Please use capitals in the appropriate places only. In the same manner, posts which consist of primarily bold print are looked on as shouting, and are also considered impolite. Please reserve the use of bold print for titles, quotations, and the occasional emphasis of a specific word or phrase." (Bold added - DG)
