    thanx Julie, lol that still doesn't make sense to me "for the win" don't see how it makes sense into the way j-c'ers use it maybe I'm just dumb.

    yeh an example of how people use it around here is when they are saying something is the best eg. question whats is the best model commodore someone may reply "vt ftw!"

    just lazy geek speak really lol

    well thats the way I understand it, some of this net lingo stuff makes it hard for newbies, my hubby who very rarely rarely uses computer for anything other than checking emails got ****ed off one day when someone called him a noob- he thought they were calling him a knob haha

    Would seem weird considering their killing the whales :S maybe there is an invisible letter, like a silent one, DFTW which means Don't Free The Whales :whistling

    PS. If you have no idea what I mean, highlight my post :thumbsup:

    It depends really, i didn't think Wales needed freeing.

    The % of whales in captivity would be pretty low i'd think (well, maybe not in a few more years)


    Its without a doubt referring to 'for the win', in which case, calais international ftw ;)
