(Quite a bit of it is outdated, but a lot of the terms about forum stuff is still relevant. e.g. kick, n/t)

The old DU2 software allowed for an open edit thread where multiple members could post and edit the information - which made maintaining a glossary a community effort. Unfortunately the current software has no such feature.

DUer AmyStrange also compiled a glossary hosted on her own website:

http://dug.amystrange.org/index.html

Although that hasn't been updated in years, and Amy hasn't posted here for a long time either.

We could use a glossary and also a FAQs thread here, but someone will have to volunteer to collate and/or coordinate such efforts.
