Acronyms 01
A lot of you are probably feeling the same I way am right at the moment I am writing this file. I just got done applying for a nice board and I simply went blank while filling out the New User Application! I really hope I gain access, but I hate having to remember what is what all the time. Besides, it’s been almost a year since I have had to fill out a REAL challenging application! So, I have forgotten probably 90% of my acronyms! A shame really because if I could only remember what they meant, I’m sure I could remeber what they were! That’s why I made this file! To help us all remember what is what! I’m sure tons of SysOp’s are going to come down on me for telling what the acronyms mean..but remember.. I am NOT telling what they do, are used for, or anything of that nature. Just what they STAND for! So, don’t give me too hard of a time. This may help you define better New User applications for your board to be more selective! I will try to come out with updates as my time allows for this file.
My Disclaimer:
I don’t know why I need one..but here it is..I take no resposiblity for anything in this file, anything it’s used for, or anyone that reads it! I pretty much don’t take responsibility for anything at ALL and I am beginning to doubt that I exist. Oh well, on to the file!

Another note! Due to a hard drive crash, I lost ALL {I do mean ALL} of my cool BBS numbers! If you run a cool BBS and would like to have me give ya a ring send me up the number somewhere I am! Which is probably in the 606 or 513 area code..either that or on one of the few boards I did find around on paper.
In closing, I would like to thank the following folks! Insanus Maximus, Akira, Lestat, and Captain Blah. {<- My local Greets {hehe}} In the far away lands from me, I would like to say 'Hi' to Starbuck {thanks for saving my account!}, Digitone Cypher, and Night Ranger...as well as all the other dudes in LoL/Phuck that are too many for me to mention right now!
Any questions or comments should be sent to me {user #2} on The Quest’s End at (606)491-3483…
Thanks and Catch ya later,
Max Headroom {513}
