Any specific acronyms? YORF, obviously, means "Ye Olde Rocket Forum", while TRF means "The Rocketry Forum"...

CR centering rings
BP black powder
AP ammonium perchlorate
APCP ammonium perchlorate composite propellant
BT body tube
CP center of pressure
CG center of gravity
BAR born again rocketeer
CATO people still argue if it's a word or an acronym.....I don't really care cause it means the motor went boom. (catastrophic failure)
OOP out of production
IIRC if I remember correctly
AFAIK as far as I know

Wait a minute....wouldn't it be easier for you to make a list of what you've seen and let us fill in the blanks for you? ;)

ROTFLMAO!

Any in particular? IMHO, I think they are all self explanatory. ITMT, we'll wait your reply. FWIW, some are just made up. OTOH, some aren't.

It lets you know if they're online or not.

I should add that if the user has invisible mode turned on that the dot stays grey for other users "hiding" the fact that the person is online. The moderators can see you though due to the dot being red on our end.
