Txt speak is also known as Netspeak amongst social networkers.

this too shall pass many of these internet initialisms predate texting - I started seeing them when I first began frequenting USENET forums, which predated internet forums such as this one (this would have been during the 90s).
"Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea. Massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it."

Auckland, New Zealand Like you say, a precursor to UBB.
I'd used terms such as WYSIWYG and GUI and HUI as well

I don't text Rhub, so you've got me.
But surely you will remember now, Luke that AFK = Away From Keyboard!
You have come across it before.....when wofahulicodoc said it recently.
And its not to far to figure out that RTK means the Rhuby has returned (to keyboard)

Oh, well, no loss. I am not a social networker either, rather
read a good book. But thanks, Olly.
