...leading to an ASCII-art revival? Some of the examples look harder to generate than the original English lettering!

Duh! The point isn't to be easy to generate; it's to be incomprehensible.

What the article doesn't mention is the scorn heaped on wannabes who use l33t. One of the surest ways to get viciously flamed in Usenet is to use leet - it's seen as a pathetic attempt to be kewl.

mebbe Jazzo
Don't count on it. I've never used it, nor has anyone I know. Had I not jumped onto this board two and a half years ago, I might have ended up going off into that world. Might have taught myself Flash too and I'd be in graphic design now instead of architecture . . .

Nope, but it is the final, clinching proof that you've lost your marbles.
