What do these abbreviations mean?

I'm a bit of a newb and I was just wondering what IMO, FWIW, ATM and all those sorts of things mean. See them everwhere on this site but haven't the foggiest idea of what they mean.

NH is NN (not necessary) as there is an off topic section.

I think I prefer ATPPIT (at this particular point in time) better that ATM. It's easier somehow.

Non-Hoops is correct. From memory, it was used before the Offtopic category was created and, also, because the category designations are easy to miss.

AFAIK = As Far As I Know.
FTW = For The Win.

Saw rage against the machine here in perth last night...

AWESOME...lol, they blew the sound sytem in the first song and continued playing for 5-6 minutes tho no-one could hear them. After was fixed they were loud n proud as you would expect.

Also saw Billy Bragg for the first time...love that man.

Silverchair, daniel johns is the most talented performer in Oz at ATM.

Hilltop hoods... what a great night! :)

For topics, they're usually for notable threads - major news, 36ers/Lightning games, etc.

For replies, they're for funny posts or helpful/informative posts.

In the upcoming version of Hoops there will be different icons/awards.

That's the 2nd time (possibly more) that you've mentioned this 'new hoops'.

So, when, what, why, etc.

One day (working on the RSS part now). Better than this. Because this one's struggling to deal with traffic.

I probably mention it because the more people expecting it, the more likely I am to find time at night to work on it!
