It seems like an ordinary article explaining a little of this 'strange language of the kids' to the parents.

A still remember a time when discussion in , about and in relation to Leet where prohibited on this forum. . .. dont you just miss the good old days. . ;)

[Dragoon Knight]

It's banned in Fan Fiction.  See Ordos45's thread here. :)

Well it was translated, the point of this was because that site about leet is just completely sad and is actually really funny if you read through it.

Errr actually its not the site that is sad. Its the whole culture of 'leet speak' (a name I find ironic seeing that no speaking is actually involved whatsoever, and it hardly encourages speech) which is sad. Damn straight ban leet speak, its as bad as common graffiti!! :P

I think its good that there is a site where parents can see how their kids are wasting time on the Internet. Maybe now they can beat it out of them!! ;)

Well the last sentence wasn't suppose to be taken seriously. But for the benefit of those who miss things like that, I'll add a nice wink to it for ya.
