Abbreviations

This is where we can post our abbreviations so we don't confuse anyone.

ROTFL = Rolling on the floor laughing
JSYK = Just so you know

When people use abbreviations a lot of times I have to go to Google for help… but if we had a list of abbreviations in alphabetical order It would be so helpful!

And how do you intend to list emoticons in alphabetical order?

Margaret has a point. :-)

It really saddens me how people can be so insensitive when condemning unnecessary threads. I mean, some people (I'm not mentioning names) who get upset when other people write badly about their threads, then go and write badly about other peoples threads! I think that even though we may be upset that people are starting threads we think are cluttering up the forums, we should care more about the people than for the forums. Just try to be nice to each other guys, please? I know you may not be intentionally mean, but I know that a lot of people's feelings have been hurt by these "unnecessary posts".

Sorry this is so long, I just felt like I needed to write this. I think we need to be more sensitive, especially to the younger members here.
