So, it also refers to user ID Handle: Same as above Newbie : refers to a new member. OP: Means Original Poster i.e. the starter of a thread Thread: It can also mean a topic.

MPD- Multiple Personality Disorder. This occurs when a person acquires pseudo names on a thread and makes comments as if they are distinct and separate personalities. Usually the individual unleashes the different personalities to force down his opinion(s) down the throats of other NLanders. Exception to these are the people who use the different names on a thread for fun rather than to cause mischief. |
