Tim generally I think the forums try to avoid 'chatspeak' mainly out of choice although there are some forumites who use it. The chances are though it's easier to converse using long hand and just use the eupemisms like 'lol' to express laughter when you find something funny. Also people tend to use alot of emoticons... have you come across those..?
:? or
and there are shed loads more you'll come across - just ask what they mean, people don't mind.

Dont think anyone's ever been expulsed (is that a word) because all you do is re-register.
Wee Piglet = female
Evil Pixie = female
assorted hippos - female (Benz or Ruth)
Barkles = bloke
DS is the Darkside, but I think that needs some explanation! A rather weird place where the caht gets surreal, but then it's spread into other areas
URWFRC - Unnoficial Runners World Forum Running Club - a virtual running club
Hilly - female
:-))
Sorry EP
Evil Pixie- All woman!
Running Tim, I'm no mathematician, but there must be an equation that show foul language increases directly as a result of contact with teenagers. Could change nickname to Sweary Mary?
BTW I quite fancy being reprimanded by old scowly there, anyone that's already that red in the face would be toooo easy to tip over the edge hehehe.
;-)
"Gng 4 rn ths evng, so CU L8R M8" etc...
And I had no idea there were assorted Hippos - this needs clarification. Are all Hippos Benz? Or Ruth? Who's who? And why? In fact, I had no idea Hippos were female, although it stands to reason, I guess...
BTW - my favourite acronym -
NOCD - any guesses?!
