Ok,
I think this has all gone toooooo far. lol I can understand, all the original stuff. ROfl, stfu, but I keep reading these posts with meaningless (to me) acromyms. IBL, ect ect ect.

Ok sorry, perhaps it hasnt' gone to far. I just think it's funny that I have no idea what in the hell this stuff means.

IBL=In Before Lock. When you know a thread is going to be locked for whatever reason, it's common to say IBL just to demonstrate your opinion of the content/subject of the thread. Any others you want cleared up?

Ok what about ROLFMAO what does that mean is it like lol?

it means

Rolling On Floor Laughing My Ass Off

Funniest Thread Ever. Im with you Gonthrax, I dont understand half of these acronmys either, but they still give me a laugh

IBL :D

At least with EM, you still get consistently grammatically correct, well spelt and intelligible postings.

Well at least with most of you I usually have some vague idea of the meaning of the acronyms and used sparingly or in context, they add to the content of the thread. However, on occasions in the past - some posts consisting of just a TLA (Three Letter Acronym) have been nothing more than self-serving attempts at ego-inflation by virtue of perceived numerical supremacy.

:rolleyes: At the very least, you could have spelled "shreds" right.

I don't have much of a problem with acronyms, when I know what they mean. What I find most bothersome is \/\/h3n P3op|e 7yp3 th3!r p0$t$ \/\/!th |\|u/\/\b3rs @nd sy/\/\b0l$ B3c@u$e !t'$ !/\/\p0$siBlé tø r£@d @|\|d d3feat$ t3h $3@r¢h É|\|g!|\|e$. :rolleyes: Also searching is very difficult when I have to search for every possible spelling variation of every possible slang word for whatever I'm searching for.
