NSFW? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Sixteen · 11-04-2003, 08:49 AM

I see it all the time around the boards. What does it mean?

Redlemon · 11-04-2003, 08:53 AM

Not Safe For Work.

Sixteen · 11-04-2003, 09:14 AM

Haha! Didn't think about that.

...are you being facetious?

Ok, thanks.

Nope, that's how NSFW is used here. Of course, half of the avatars themselves are NSFW as well, and if you are at work you should be working instead of surfing TFP, but people like that info anyway.

cheerios · 11-05-2003, 01:40 AM

in other words, if you wouldnt' want your mom to see it if she walked in, please label it. I do some surfing from school, for example, and while my fellow lab-mates wouldn't care if I were browsing forums, some of the stuff here'd startle em. warnings, even redundant ones, are ALWAYS appreciated.

Sixteen: some other acronyms for you
sfw = safe for work (not used a whole lot on the boards, but you see it in the IRC channel)
lmao = laughing my ass off
lol = laughing out loud

bparker805 · 11-16-2003, 02:25 AM

Halx · 11-16-2003, 01:58 PM

that's a general rule for the whole board, bp

HAHA, classic, I like that interpretation.

mrbuck12000 · 11-23-2003, 08:26 AM

Not Safe If Your Girlfriend Walks In.

MoNoXiDe_XXX · 11-23-2003, 08:15 PM

There is an option to not display avatars. Check your user control panel. I ran that way for a while. It loads faster, too.

robnochain · 12-01-2003, 07:34 AM

lol someone should make website to explain this to people...

Dilbert1234567 · 12-04-2003, 12:46 PM

it means that the content of the post is not acceptable to be viewed at work (unless you have a cool boss) it may be nudity, graphic, extreamly sexual, etc

if you at work dont risk it, acualy dont even be on the site at work. we dont want any one geting fired. nsfw is also universal to many sites.

horatio · 12-04-2003, 04:44 PM

At my work NSFW means every one in the office will check it outand my boss will go into his office and shut the door so he can " review" it in private.

Merlocke · 12-05-2003, 01:20 AM

I figured most of the people on this board found it through FARK, and knew what NSFW meant.

Anyway - before asking a question on anything:
1) dictionary.com
2) google.com
3) ask.com

No answer? - now the right time to ask.
These 3 sites alone have made me sound smarter and more articulate than I really am

.

There's one for that old quote:
"Give a man a fish - and he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime"

MexicanOnABike · 12-05-2003, 08:13 PM

good stuff... took me a while before someone told me that.

Octo · 12-08-2003, 10:57 PM

i thought u meant Need for speed Wanker or something

ahaha

ahh i c

I thought it was more like:

"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he sits in a boat and drinks beer all day'

was wondering that myself

Monre · 12-29-2003, 09:07 AM

On some sites you really need to know what it means...like tgereare some sick ass pictures.

Tfproject doesn't have much NSFW things other then nudity.

Pencilneck · 01-12-2004, 04:40 PM

Of course, it all depends on what your work is. I'm sure if you work at a sex store, NSFW doesn't hold the same associations

mystmarimatt · 02-02-2004, 01:01 AM

funny, i always assumed it meant Not Suitable For Women...but then, i'm a bit old fashioned.

minyn · 02-02-2004, 01:11 PM

ah ha! i finally understand and i've been running around this board for awhile now =P
