Very close, but the spelling errors aren't accidental this time
You've very nearly got it, though. Look at the capitals and ask yourself why they're used where they are. Then explain how it was encoded to everyone, and make up your own cypher

It's encoded by typing in the keyboard button directly to the left of the correct letter. D becomes S and so on.
The only letters that would appear differently are Q and A. When encoding, a Q would be shown by a tap-space, while an A would be signified by the activation and removal of caps lock.
Bah, you go next

Status : Online | I don't look at the keyboard when I type. I placed my eight fingers on the home keys, then moved them one key to the right (index fingers on the G and K). I then typed your message exactly as it was written (ignoring caps). The resulting text was the answer that I posted.
Using that method, the A becomes an S, and the Q would be a W.
I can't think of a clever method of encryption, so you can post another.

"congrats on deciphering this"
The keys move directly one key down theoretically, but they move down-left and down-right a bit intermittantly, so the cipher doesnt really work very well. It would work better as:
f0jy5w6e 0j r4f9-u459jy 6u93
(translated moving down-left)
Here's a good one thats easy to figure out, but a pain to translate:

But if youre feeling particularly masochistic, try this'un:

Note: I'm seeing spacees in the above bit, but they are not supposed to be there, so just ignore them.

Sweet!

That would have been practically cheating. Where's the fun in that?

I'm assuming that one isn't ASCII. Does it represent the alphabet as some sort of binary tree? Does it use some funky compression scheme?

Took me about 5 minutes to paste it into a text file, replace the symbols and run it through the morse translator.

So it does use a funky compression scheme! Well, maybe not so funky, but a compression scheme nevertheless.

More frequently used letters are represented by shorter sequences in Morse code. That's a form of compression.
