Acronyms

[Kreeps]

Hey guys. This is just a suggestion for the forums to help out noobies like me.

As i read alot of posts, i ran into alot of acronyms that i had no idea what they meant. For example, when i first started browsing i had no idea what the differences were between rba, rda, rga. Every time i ran into an acronym, i had to google the acronyms to find out what they stand for.

It would be soooooo helpful to us newcomers if someone can round up a lot of the commonly used acronyms and their meanings in this forums and sticky it somewhere.

In long thread that I might subscribe to, I sometimes lose track of just what might be being talked about since I last visited. The use of an anachronism or abbreviation for a vendor or device might be cause for me to go back through previous posts to be up on just what is being talked about. Sometimes many different vendors or devices may be mentioned within a thread.

It can be helpful if a poster will mention the subject, fully spelled out early in the post.

Kreeps, no problem. I stumbled across it by accident last night and saved the link. I have been so frustrated by all the acronyms that I began compiling a list but some I just can't find the answer to. You are right, it should be a sticky--in every forum.

Cool Breeze, yes it would be very helpful. I've read some monster threads in the DIY (do it yourself) forum that have left my head spinning.

Also if there is a dotted line underneath, you can hover your mouse over it and it will pop up what it stands for
