Looks good, can't think of anything to add.

Typo? under GTG: after "Yes!"... the "and" should be capitalized.

done.

ETA: should we add any acronyms? DH, MIL, GTG, TTGKTFU, etc?

sure. which ones should we add besides the ones you listed?

[Deleted]

I like it.

[Deleted]

All sounds good to me. I agree with Jennuine about the abbreviations, perhaps others being POA, DW (Dear Wife)

I would assume people can extrapolate from MIL to FIL, SIL, BIL?

[Deleted]

Acronyms: POAS, TIA, WWSND

I'm sure there is more....

[Deleted]

More acronyms:

Ttgktfu

kinmir-- i'll add some of those, but not all! i think some of the easier ones people can figure it out, and if they can't, they can ask =P

[Deleted]

yah, i figured that. there were just some that I remembered we sooo confusing when I first started.....3yrs ago. haha.

like AW, PP, OP, NSFW, F/U, IRL...

I always thought AW was Attention Whore. Hahah. Which, basically it is, but still.

[Deleted]

I thought AW was "Attention Whore" in a self-fun way. I think it's better than attention wanted.

After reading UWHusky's post I was just coming to add NFT/NFM (message)
AW, PP, OP NSFW, F/U (which I still read as fuck-up even though I know now)

[jennlin]

yeah--i think "attention wanted" was just TN's making it less offensive. nobody uses attention wanted.. it's attention whore.

[niq]

Whoops I didn't see this thread... Jennlin, I sent you a PM with a couple of suggestions.

[jennlin]

Lol niq. I will make those changes

hello! welcome to seattle!

once upon a time, a long long time ago, there was a message board that was very popular called "the nest". the nest overlords didn't take their users seriously, and there a mass-movement to the new, proboards. GBCN is "good bye cruel nest", because the nest was never very nice to it's users.

[jennlin]

okay i added more acronyms. i really don't want that thread to be an entire post dedicated to acronyms.....so are there anymore that ABSOLUTELY MUST be on there that i missed? otherwise people can ask what it is, right?

[niq]

Fun bbcode test!

This is a giant block of text that I want you to have to click on to read, so that it doesn't clutter up the post. It's common on some other forums, or when there's lots of quoting.

EDIT: Derp! I guess it doesn't understand spoiler. Never mind...

Yeah pretty much. I posted to the Help board ... if we have control over the HTML code there is some stuff you can insert to make spoilers clicky.
