    Yep, as mentioned earlier, "Eyes on Final Fantasy" is a pretty bad example since it starts with a vowel either way. However, I always put AN in front of all abbreviations. I can't think of an exception.

    Its all based on sound, you dont say an Europe *insert thing here* and thats becuase of the sound of the Eu sounding like a y.

    I'd talk about the content of the thread, so I'd say neither. For example...

    "You know, that EoFF thread that states Ken is a ponce."

    Except for the topic and polloptions were changed to FF instead of EoFF, get with the time man and discuss the current topic.

    I still say "an" fits

    Well, according to English pronounciation rules:

    "an"

    ...because saying "a ef-ef thread" feels very, very stiff.

    it depends on the starting sound.

    An eff eff thread.
    An Eee oh eff eff thread.
