    Sometimes when i am reading posts, there are the likes of OP and IBTL and stuff like that. I cant understand most of them so can you post what they mean?

    eg. OP = Original Poster

    PS- Can you please not move this for a while as AH is the only forum i look at.

    IIRC = If I remember correctly
    IMO = In my opinion
    LOL = Laughing out loud

    These are just my guesses. I could be wrong with some of these.

    TLA - Three Letter Acronym :)

    This can help occasionally although it often muddies the water even more when you discover that FTW has 28 listings.

    It's not just second life.
    I had to ask someone in the mod forum what AFK meant.
    People laughed at me. :(

    Have a look at some locked threads.
    Anyone who uses it and doesn't report the OP will be banned in future.
    I will also delete up to 400 of their posts so that they don't get their precious +1.
