Well, as a lot of you may know, the way speak in the forums is quite fast.
Normal three words can be written as three letters now.

This is a cool thread. We defenitely needed to have one of these; so many people were asking a lot of these terms. :)

At the moment, I can't think of anymore. Wait a minute, I just thought of one and I just said it.

ATM = at the moment

I've heard people say it. :p
And also, some people say GTG (Got to go) like G2G (Got 2 Go). Just another suggestion.
 
Don't forget these:

CC-city championship
BR-battle road
Nats-nationals
pre-prerelease

EDIT: tourney-tournament
 
IMHO = In my HONEST Opinion

I've never seen humble used, to be quite honest.

I believe that it is only right to just type out the whole sentence rather than using short forms and such. Yes, they may be quicker, but doesn't that mean that everyone has to read this thread in order to understand what another person is saying?

Moreover, by typing out the whole sentence, you will be able to reduce the posts which would go:-

Whoever said:
'What does [insert short form here] mean?'

And as we all know, that is semi-spam. Although I have no say in this, I just recommend that you type out the whole sentence, instead of short forms.
 
^^you are both right, but It seems as if not many people think the same way.
This is merely to help delete those SPAM posts, AEX, but I in no way am trying to enforce it. Okay, so maybe I use it a bit, but your right, it would be easier to write ou the word
 
Well then, may someone explain to me what QFT is?

Because I have no clue.

QFT is 'Quoted For Truth'. This phrase is to show that a certain sentence/fact said or mentioned by another person is the truth. For example:-

Someone said:
Person A: Aerodactyl should have Choice Band when going Offensive.
Person B: QFT

It is to show that what another person is saying, is based on his/her opinion, is correct, just to remind and make things short.
