This may seem like a dumb question, but I've seen many different abbreviations floating around these boards and was wondering what they all mean. I've managed to decipher a few, like IMHO (in my humble opinion?) and IIRC (if I remember correctly?). One I've seen recently that I couldn't figure out was ISTR. If you have/use any others, please post 'em here so I know what the heck you're talking about!

When you hear about LCARS style in a webpage, let your mind form the image of TrekRPG.net, with all those curves and buttons. I'm beginning to hate it.

I despise the LCARS look myself, but on TrekRPGnet, for whatever reason, I find it comforting It's the only place it doesn't make me retch.
I was particularly disturbed by LUG's "diploma" in the Starfleet Academy Boxed Set. I find it terrifying that 24th-century society is so devoid of style that they'd apply the LCARS look to a diploma. They'll be redisigning the uniforms to include it, next ...
LOL (now there's another one), now that's something I'll be waiting for!
Actually, have you ever noticed that villains often get better style/dressing taste than heroes?

Haven't you heard? In the standard villian contract it states "The villian will have a superior fashion sense compared to the heroe's" I can't remember which paragraph or subsection, BUT I do remember seeing it there.

Yeah, but the fashion clause in the villain's contract never helps them...there's a fine-print clause (which most villains never seem to read before signing) which states that "...in any given shoot-out, the villain must always miss the hero(es) by the barest of margins, although sidekicks may be killed with the first shot."
