Yes, another useless post out of how many so far? Though it has served a very important purpose: getting personal enlightment (or whatever is written).

FTL also means Faster Than Light, for example Battlestars have FTL Drives.

Wonder how many people know: orz

FTW = For the win
FTL = For the loss
NBSI = Not blue, Shoot it (If someone does not have +10 standings with your alliance/corp, destroy it)
not as common:
NRDS = Not red, don't shoot (If someone is not -10 standings with your alliance/corp, leave it alone)
w00t = We Own the Other Team, now a simple expression of joy or happiness.
WTS = want to sell
WTB = want to buy
WTT = want to trade
WCS = warp core stabilizer
MWD = Micro warp drive
AC = Autocannon
POS = Player Owned Structure
QFT = Quoted for Truth (Basically, agreeing with the quoted poster)
And there are probably more that I am missing.

Just a quick note about the word "w00t".
It is not "We Own the Other Team". It was originally created by players of Dungeons and Dragons for "Wow, loot!" Over time it has changed and had lost its original meaning and nowdays is used in a term of excitement.
There we go. Be educated.

Note how left arm is raised. Considering the media it was probably done to avoid starting with a forward slash which denotes command in most chats and not for historical reasons.

Well, there are several Internet legends as to the origin of words such as w00t. The commonly accepted "official" meaning of the word w00t is that it is an expression of victory, joy and happiness. Another legend is that w00t was originally 1337 speak for "I have just gained root access".
