It's astonishingly accurate! For example, can you pick out the translation from the actual forum post in the following examples?
How I would write it: Oh no! Someone beside me found out the SST admins are high! It's the end of the world as we know it!
Option 1: O NO!1!1!! OMG SOM3ONE BSIED M3 FOUND OUT TEH ST ADMINS R HIGH!1!!1!!! OMG ITS TEH END OF DA WORLD AS W3 KNOW IT!!1!1! WTF
Option 2: ONOH!!!!!!!!!SOMEONE BESIDES ME FOUND OUT THE SST ADMINS ARE HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How I would write it: Please men, no, I am a good player.

I would just like to point out that there is a difference between AOL-speak and 1337.
