    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.

    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.

    PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Recursive acronyms are the best.
