hey mg, you asked exactly that same question less than 2 months ago. DP answered it on top of this same page.

I guess i should change my question. Has anybody seen L@1C used anywhere? LAF chat

[mathgrant]

Then add RPS to the list and remove the F-words already!

RSA =
CB =

[Hitchhiker]

I think the F ones need to be kept, since they are used more often than many of the others, FCOL (for cryin' out loud).

And probably the Ragin' South Asian and CrystyB would agree, especially if one of them has a Citizens' Band radio.

Also, check out the Canonical Abbreviation/Acronym List.

[CrystyB]

yeah i might as well stop that old topic and replace it with "How to find acronyms online: If you know its exact spelling, try [url=http://www.acronymfinder.com/default.asp?p=dict&String=exact&Acronym=*****]http://www.acronymfinder.com/default.asp?p=dict&String=exact&Acronym=*****[/url] ; if not, try to Ctrl-F on the page HH linked to."

PS Happy now, mg?

What is MMORPG?

[Vinny]

Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

Refers to games such as Ultima Online, or The Sim online, or Dark Age of Camelot, etc where you pay a monthly service fee, get an account, and role play on a server with other people (as oppose to playing by yourself at home). Your stats are usually stored on the server also.
