    TWF Chat Room Etiqutte, Hints and Tips

    Some advice for the unsure, the beginners or the novices.

    Etiquette
    Typing in all caps, LIKE THIS, is considered "shouting" and should be avoided. Likewise, do not repeat yourself or otherwise "flood" the channel with many lines of text at once.

    Some smileys and jargon

    :-) is a smiley face, tilt your head to the left to see it. Likewise, :-( is a frown. ;-) is a wink. :~~( is crying, while :-P is someone sticking their tongue out. :-P ~~ is drooling. (-: a lefty's smile, etc. There are hundreds of these faces.

    Here are some common acronyms used in IRC:

    brb = be right back
    bbiaf = be back in a flash
    bbl = be back later
    ttfn = ta ta for now
    np = no problem
    imho = in my humble opinion
    lol = laughing out loud
    j/k = just kidding
    re = hi again, as in 're hi'
    wb = welcome back
    wtf = what the f--k
    rtfm = read the f--king manual
    rotfl = rolling on the floor laughing

    remember the most important thing is to have fun.

    Just like in the forums, all swearing is frowned upon.

    We are all here for a good time, so lets have exactly that.

It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

    its a PG13 site - if the context is friendly, WTF and RTFM are fine.

    Otherwise alluding to using obscenities is no better than actually using obscenities when the words are unmistakable and is discouraged....

    the majority of that post was a cut and paste from a website that I found it on, and I didnt even thinking about those acronyms. My apologies to all.
