ftw = wtf backwards? like fuck the what?
blood diamonds and boxcar were DC things originally. boxcar is from the comic strip for better or for worse and blood diamonds just means GOOD or GREAT
― 69, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 15:00 (eighteen years ago)
Maybe something to do with LeZBians?
I saw those Marissa Marchant threads back then, but I didn't want to contribute to them, the whole thing seemed to creepy to me.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 15:02 (eighteen years ago)
(x-post)
FTW will always be associated with that mid-90s movie where it stood for Fuck The World.
oh.....paws is associated with Wrinklepaws, a former (and...well maybe current, who the fuck knows any longer) poster who would say things and would get the response, "oh wrinklepaws". just sort of funny.
― the table is the table, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 15:03 (eighteen years ago)
oh and i meant the FTW thing for me, not everyone
I thought FTW was WTF backwards too, but For The Win sounds like a better explanation, given the way it's used.

i never got '8080'
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)
That had something to do with the URL ILX had after the move, which had "8080" in it.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 15:08 (eighteen years ago)
8080 means OTM, another DC thing - it was part of the URL for some of the sandbox pages
― 69, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 15:09 (eighteen years ago)
i wish i never got '8080'
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 15:18 (eighteen years ago)
I thought the 90s movie was SFW (So Fucking What) - was there a whole slew of terrible acronym-based movies around that time?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=FTW
I've never thought of it as anything but for the win (possibly because I spend my life surrounded by gaming geeks), but that there link has it as an intentional misspelling of WTF.

SFW is right. FTW was the name of a punk band's song... i think it might have been Boston's The Unseen, when they were still in high school and not some bad joke of a political punk band.

― 69, Wednesday, 26 December 2007 21:30 (eighteen years ago)
- thread asks people to imitate the poster directly above them - Laurel posts - n/a follows with "I'm a leprechaun, gree hee hee"
this is funny in part because Laurel is not a leprechaun

FTW = Originally, "fuck the world", and should still be. However, because of game show culture creeping into idiot video gamer culture, it's "for the win" now.

SummaryA forced meme is a meme that came to be through incessant posting of the meme by the creator, in an attempt to gain popularity for the meme. Almost all forced memes are not actually memes, as they with the intention of doing so, while true memes pop spontaneously. People rarely understand forced memes, they are simply just there. Most forced memes get completely dumped into the dark corners of the internet, though some actually become famous. Prime examples of forced memes are "F YEAH SEAKING!!!" and Milhouse.OriginsForced memes normally come from image boards like /b/ and /v/.Current statusThere are still forced memes out there on the internet, and they are still not funny.FactsThey are often bounced between being memes and not being memes.They are rarely funny
