Saw this on another forum, thought it could be useful.

[a] = Acronym BBCode.

For example, [a=laugh out loud]lol[/a]

When you hover your mouse over the text, whatever you put after the [a=] will appear.

I was thinking we could expand upon this (If possible). Maybe make an acronym filter than automatically changes some more frequently used abbreviations, like so:

Filter "ftw" to "[a=For The Win]ftw[/a]"

And to show they have bbcode on them, the color could change (Like URLs do) to maybe purple or something.

To see how it's used..

Well

I mean

It could be useful for the n00bs that come in not knowing what any of them mean, if we autofilter it.

I can also see it bieng used in some lulzworthy situations.

You'd be surprised how many people don't know what those are and would make a spam post to find out.

But ya, it seems pretty useless...
