    One thing that is annoying with abbreviations is an abbreviation can be the same for multiple games.....for example when people use WW for White Water. WW is Whirlwind. White Water is WH2O.

    There are more examples where abbreviations can be more than one game.......not to make it a pain in the ass but maybe it would be good to have a permanent link to generally accepted game abbreviations and a brief message somewhere for all to know there is an abbreviation list. So many new people that do not know them. I know when I got in the hobby about 7 years ago I had to learn them and it wasn't difficult but you had to learn them if you wanted know quickly what game someone was talking about.....can't tell you how many times I had to google an abbreviation. Should be required reading before anyone can post LOL!
