I did. I created the "ITG". If you don't know what it stands for, it stands for "In the game". I thought it up after I saw someone say "IRL", which stands for "In real life". I made it while playing PSO Episode 2, and my PSO character was either Nico or Glenn. I forgotz...

So, you ever make an internet acronym? How/where did you make it? Is it used commonly? Tell me!

I'd like to say I created HAP, but alas, it was my genius friend. And I'm not explaining what it means because you'll all take it the wrong way and then I'll have to explain the right way and that'll just take up too much of my time.

Sadly I can't take credit for wtp, as I'm sure Tanja used it before me. I just still use it, that's all.

I turned BRB/brb into BrB. This is, of course, a highly notable difference.

I've probably created a fair few acronyms through websites, though, such as LJF (LiveJournal Forums). There are also acronyms that I honestly don't know for sure if they are mine, or if they count as an acryonym. Rye was originally a twist on RikkuYuna89 (89 = E), although it was unintentional - I merely liked 'Rye' because it used the 'RY' of her name and was easier to say. 'E' being the first letter in 'Eighty-nine' is purely coincidential, although could still be used as an acronym. Also, WML - I'm not sure if I actually was the first one to start using this acronym for the Warned Members List or not. EoffFF for Eyes off Final Fantasy is something else I'm not sure if I used first or not. There are probably a fair amount of others, though, I just can't think of them.

The only acronym I use is brb, just because it is easy.

No I haven't created any. I'm not that creative.
Unless you count tLotR(tm):tBfM-E(tm), which is the full acronym for The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth, but it is just a pain to type. No one ever uses it.

I created limh. Laughing in my head.

It was used a lot more in old days EoFF.

It's not an acronym unless it actually forms a word. For example, MADD (mothers against drunk driving) is an acronym. Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is an acronym that formed a new word. One could probably argue that LOL is an acronym as well.

STFU, like most internet abbreviations is not actually an acronym since it has no resemblace to any word or sound whatsoever.
