For Codex, you forgot:

TEBI - That Evil Bitch Invidia

Can I get a 2nd?  I'm not familiar with standard codex discussion acronyms

I added WAG to the general section

[narphoenix]

I saw it on tvtropes.

GoR, Guardians of Reality

[Tami Seven]

Nfection = Nemesis infection

I have to admit that the at times heavy use of acronyms are what has kept me from writing too much on boards like this....There are alot of them that really makes sense when it comes to very long names like (DFRPG = Dresden Files Role Playing Game) but I just think that some of them are a result of rather extreme laziness:p....It can't be that energy demanding to write NeverNever...

Not a criticism, just an observation that it makes it a little intimidating for new users

The DF section is getting huge.  I'd like to reiterate my recommendation that the acronyms for the books get broken out into their own section.

Maybe brake up the rest into Characters, Groups, and Places.

Also there are some that are outdated.  The one I have in mind is GG for Grey Ghost.  That pretty much went out of fashion shortly after everyone had finished Ghost Story.

Here's what the DF section would look like with my suggested edits:  (I didn't get rid of GG, and I lumped places and groups together because appart the catagories would be half the size of the others)

Dresden Files

The Books (and other works)
AM = Depending on context of post either Aftermath (short story) or Ancient Mai
BAT = Big Apocalyptic Trilogy - The final 3 books of the Dresden Files (should be books 23, 24 & 25 if I remember correctly)

CD = Cold Days (book 14)
DB = Dead Beat (book 7)
DF = Dresden Files
DFRPG = Dresden Files Role Playing Game

SF = Storm Front (book 1)
SK = Summer Knight (book 4) (or the actual summer Knight)
SmF = Small Favour (or Favor, depending on region ) (book 10)

TDF = The Dresden Files
WN = White Night (book 9)
WttJ = Welcome to the Jungle, the original DF Prequel Graphic Novel.

I've made the change, and you were right, it does look a lot better and easier to use.

I'm also thinking of dropping the following due to age:
BM = Bolshevik Muppet
CF = Chlorofiend

GG has been dropped, once we found out it's identity it seemed to go out of use.

Not Bolshevik Muppet! That was so funny.

BTW  you could use GG  for Ghoul Goblin,  the latest Graphic Novel.

I like referring to certain forum members by acronyms and nicknames.  It gives me a feeling of jovial familiarity that I like, and I figured I'd record them here for reference.  Not all of these are currently active.

AA = AcornArmy
EMcB = Electric MacButters (RL friend)
LML = LogicMouseLives
ME = Myyrdn Eopia
TCF = TheCuriousFan
EG = Eldest Gruff

Nicknames:
neuro = the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh
Prisc, The Goddess = Priscellie, (Some also use cellie)
The Count = 123456789blaaa
The Quackers = Ms Duck

Sounds like a very good notion. Voting in favor of the additions.
