On the positive side, I think that forum should have an easily visible link to an article with all such IT acronyms, so the newcomers can visit it any time, while other authors will be free of duty to explain the same again and again.
Good idea, @Slavic!

I find the Urban Dictionary can be good for a lot of computing terms, before the "big Hitters" are updated

Although, as it's user maintained / edited there can be more than one result for an abbreviation :wink:

When I was in college one class I took there were tons of questions about acronyms. It was a horrible test but I did really well on it..

But then that's my main interest and I work in the field.. so.. I don't expect others to know as much as I do.
