 You could just disable smileys ^^

 You just click, below the box where you type (not in Quick Reply) where it says "Additional Options..." Then there will be a box that you can click that says "Notifiy me of replies.", "Return to this topic", and "Don't use smileys." Check the "Don't use smileys." one XP

I'm not sure, but I think BF actually stands for "Boyfriend" but I'm not sure...
ID To me is also kind of a trollface. And ":U" is kind of an annoyed face. Also ">:U" might be a more annoyed face...

Title: Re: For Internet Newbies: What those abbreviations mean (UPDATED 7/14/13)
Post by: darkknight on July 15, 2013, 12:35:13 pm

Great listing here. Also I think you should add to the list:

HB = Hurry back

and for the " :I "  face, it often means "neutral mood" or somewhere in the lines of that nature.

Post by: hugrf2 on July 15, 2013, 03:29:10 pm

Hmm... I remember my brother using a text talk thing once that meant "Be right there" or "almost there" or something... how about...

OMW = On My Way

Yeah, I think that was it. ^^ Also, perhaps add this too?

Trolling = Annoying people for their own amusement (Ex. "COME 2 N/Z ITS IMPORTANT" and when you get there they say "hi :)" )

^ Lol, I just randomly thought of that for certain terms used on the internet/game.

Updated! Now added more abbreviations and two new sections: Brands/Products/Places and FH Groups.

So if anyone has any FH groups you would like me to add, please tell me! It must actually have an abbreviation though, not just one word.
