I have a suggestion:
What of having the administrators create a new tab entitled "Acronyms" located at the top of the page maybe just after the "My Posts" tab. This (new) tab would then be used to present any acronyms regularly used within this forum, as in 'TFG: The Former Guy'. They could be set to arrange alphabetically by acronym or perhaps be set within some type of Excel spreadsheet which would make formatting, additions, and changes easier...just a thought.

The Former Guy as "The Former Guy". It stuck like shit to the outhouse door.

My vision of the term:

A T bone rump cut steak with loads of fat and gristle that is inedible. Like the ones he sells.

I find myself using it more and more, given how many unexplained abbreviations turn up around this place.
