Ha ha. I saw this title, and I was about to go in and edit or ask the poster to rephrase the question.

The keyword "plz" shows, that the phenomenon does not concern the vowels only. "Plz" should signal a high level of kewlness. When writing an SMS "plz" is some microseconds faster than "please". In addition it helps to keep the character limits. In a life chat, posting the first answer ís important such that these abbrev. style has a benefit.
Usually the plz+urgent-boys do not care for making an answer as easy as possible such that decreasing the readability is conform with the intentions of the authors. So my association with the vowel-free style is: "Has anybody seen that I'm so kewl that I do not even care?!"
Languages are dynamic systems and new terms will be commonly used in the future. E.g. "digital" does not mean "with a finger" anymore and "burning" some data means a backup and not the total destruction. Some of the new terms are useful, e.g. "thru" instead of "through" or "FEX" instead of "MathWorks FileExchange pages".

"a e i o u and sometimes y"
A 'y' at the beginning of an English word is seldom a vowel, but a 'y' in the middle or at the end of a word often is. A 'y' that sounds like a long 'I' or like a long 'E' is a vowel, but a 'y' that sounds like the 'y' in 'yet' or 'yellow' or 'young' is considered a consonant.

Or a short 'i', even. "Hymn", for example.
Englysh spellyng ys sylli.
