I hated it the first time I read it, and even more so now.
internet meme
That's the kiddie. Like the Mr. T/David Hasselhoff/Chuck Norris/Jack Bauer meme
There's a big difference between lazy grammar like 'ppl' and 'ur' (which saves exactly 2 keystrokes) and abbreviations like FWIW and IIRC, which are whole expressions that can be reduced for substantial time saved.The first time I witnessed it being used, I thought Duke lost his mind. (Or maybe he sold it on eBay.)
Seriously, I believe it's idiotic and only encourages lazy grammar on the forums, making younger members believe it's cool to post like that. Bad trend.
Duċk;2393870The IM IN UR whatever fad is a fad. It'll die down, and I'll probably take mine down in a week or two.
You see it in many people's titles, but I don't see it in avatars or sigs (except maybe once). And I really don't see people post it, either.
EDIT: I guess Nøz will be the first person I see with a IM IN UR avatar.![]()
And indeed the Walama.
GTP has its own memes too - of note are the "Watch out for Famine" gag and, of old, the Kiwi.

DukeIt started on Bchan (a wide-open-rules graphics forum)
Fad. It'll last as long as the "O RLY" bird.
Ever notice, the fads are coming and going rather quickly these days?
It was cool when Famine and Duke were the only ones that had it, now that damn near everyone has it, it's godamn annoying.
