maxxx, request noted.

Also guys be sure to check my edits at the bottom of some of your posts, nothing is official unless it has been deemed so by one of the admins.

I'm not sure if this is exactly 'proboards' slang, and sorry for the short post but:

=^.^=
x3

Who could forget the kitty face and the strange and slightly confusing smiley that I can only assume is a cutesy smile with demented cat lips?

Whatever it is, it's damn popular on the proboards I frequent. -shrug-

There is one that I have been seeing around and I don't know exactly what it refers to. What is someone doing when they are "minimodding"?

Also, here's a few which I don't believe have been mentioned:

lmao= laughing my a** off (is it bad to say that word? )
nvm= never mind
teh= a backward form of "the"
b/c= because
np= no problem
ty= thank you
Inserting text inside two asterisks (*) shows someone doing an action (some people didn't know this. )
ur= you are
ttyl= talk to you later
stfu= shut the mess up
plz= please
fyi= for your information
comp= computer
IM= instant messaging

Meh. Sorry if they've already been told.

Huggles - 'Huggles' is a word created by one of our moderators; Enchant.

The word, meaning kindness, friendship, and hugs has become a ProBoards phenomenon.

If you want to offer a good gesture toward someone, give 'em a huggles.

Actyaly, huggles is an world-wide-chat word...no one person can be credited with its intro..

Thats true. And by the way, 'Nuff said. is STAN LEE's phrase ( he always says it.), the creator of spiderman, daredevil... in short, he basically created marvel.

Also, l337/leet is when you use numbers and charactors(other then letters) to replace letters in words. Things like "teh" would not be considered leet, as its simply a funnier way to write "the".

E.G., :
Normal Word:
The
Leet Word:
7h3

E.G. 2:
Normal Word:
Proboards
Leet Word:
Pr0b0/-\rd5

That is whatt l337 is.

I assume 'minimodding' here is what I call 'armchair-modding': pretending to be a moderator when you're actually not.

If a non-staff member frequently posts stuff like: "You're not allowed to post this here", "You're being rude and you'll get a warning/ban for that", he/she is minimodding.
