For Codex, you forgot:

TEBI - That Evil Bitch Invidia

Can I get a 2nd?  I'm not familiar with standard codex discussion acronyms

I added WAG to the general section

I have to admit that the at times heavy use of acronyms are what has kept me from writing too much on boards like this....There are alot of them that really makes sense when it comes to very long names like (DFRPG = Dresden Files Role Playing Game) but I just think that some of them are a result of rather extreme laziness:p....It can't be that energy demanding to write NeverNever...

Not a criticism, just an observation that it makes it a little intimidating for new users

I don't think it's been used it, but in case it does Come SG (Did you add that for theSkin Game?)

Al - Alfred (DR's other name). 
War Cry -
"Thomas doesn't fight back, not even for an instant. In the end, it's not common sense that pulls me back from the brink, or even fear of being devoured by the Shoggoth....It's the look of unshakeable trust in my Brother's eyes, even as my hands tighten around his throat."

The DF section is getting huge.  I'd like to reiterate my recommendation that the acronyms for the books get broken out into their own section.

Maybe brake up the rest into Characters, Groups, and Places.

Also there are some that are outdated.  The one I have in mind is GG for Grey Ghost.  That pretty much went out of fashion shortly after everyone had finished Ghost Story.

Here's what the DF section would look like with my suggested edits:  (I didn't get rid of GG, and I lumped places and groups together because appart the catagories would be half the size of the others)


Dresden Files

The Books (and other works)
AM = Depending on context of post either Aftermath (short story) or Ancient Mai
BAT = Big Apocalyptic Trilogy - The final 3 books of the Dresden Files (should be books 23, 24 & 25 if I remember correctly)
BR = Blood Rites (book 6)
CD = Cold Days (book 14)
DB = Dead Beat (book 7)
DF = Dresden Files
DFRPG = Dresden Files Role Playing Game
DM = Death Masks (book 5)
FM = Fool Moon (book 2)
GP = Grave Peril (book 3)
GS = Ghost Story (book 13)
PG = Proven Guilty (book 8 )
SG = Skin Game (book 15)
SF = Storm Front (book 1)
SK = Summer Knight (book 4) (or the actual summer Knight)
SmF = Small Favour (or Favor, depending on region ;)) (book 10)
TC = Turn Coat (book 11)
TDF = The Dresden Files
WN = White Night (book 9)
WttJ = Welcome to the Jungle, the original DF Prequel Graphic Novel.

Characters
Al - Alfred (Demonreach)
AM = Depending on context of post either Aftermath (short story) or Ancient Mai
BM = Bolshevik Muppet
CF = Chlorofiend
DR = Demonreach
DV = Dresdenverse
Eb = Ebenezar
EBG = Eldest Brother Gruff
Eeb/s = Red Court Assassins
GC = Depending on context of post either Grey Cloak or Grey Council
GG = Grey Ghost
GK = Gatekeeper
HWWB = He Who Walks Behind
HWWB4 = He Who Walks Before
LtW = Listens to Wind (Injun Joe)
SK = Summer Knight (book 4) (or the actual summer Knight)
TTH = Time-travelling Harry
TWG / WG = The White God
WK = Winter Knight (rarely used for White (vampires) King)

Groups and Places
AT = Arctis Tor
BC = Depending on context of post either Black Court (vampires) or Black Council
BCV = Black Court vampires
Blampires = Black Court vampires
DR = Demonreach
GC = Depending on context of post either Grey Cloak or Grey Council
Jampires = Jade Court vampires
JLC = Justice League of Chicago
KotC - Knight(s) of the Cross
LC = Little Chicago
LoOn = Lords of Outer Night
LtW = Listens to Wind (Injun Joe)
NH = Nickleheads (The Denarians)
NN = Nevernever
Rampires = Red Court vampires
RCV = Red Court vampires
SC = Senior Council
WC = Depending on context of post either White Court (vampires) or White Council
WCV = White Court vampires
Whampires = White Court vampires
WK = Winter Knight (rarely used for White (vampires) King)

I've made the change, and you were right, it does look a lot better and easier to use. :)

I'm also thinking of dropping the following due to age:
BM = Bolshevik Muppet
CF = Chlorofiend

GG has been dropped, once we found out it's identity it seemed to go out of use.

Not Bolshevik Muppet! That was so funny.

BTW  you could use GG  for Ghoul Goblin,  the latest Graphic Novel.

I like referring to certain forum members by acronyms and nicknames.  It gives me a feeling of jovial familiarity that I like, and I figured I'd record them here for reference.  Not all of these are currently active.

2πr = Second Aristh (It works because his avatar is the symbol pi)
AA = AcornArmy
EMcB = Electric MacButters (RL friend)
LML = LogicMouseLives
ME = Myyrdn Eopia
TCF = TheCuriousFan
EG = Eldest Gruff

Nicknames:
neuro = the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh
Prisc, The Goddess = Priscellie, (Some also use cellie)
The Count = 123456789blaaa
The Quackers = Ms Duck
Waldorf = Shecky
Griff = Griffyn612

Other:
Fred or Fred Hicks = iago (site owner/admin)

Sounds like a very good notion. Voting in favor of the additions.
"...when you know something the rest of us don't."
"It's like heroin for wizards," I confirmed.
   ===          ===
"And if the child was no warlock, she would have lowered the shield by now."
"No! I'm not dropping the shield until Harry says it's okay." She paused. "Uh, besides. I'm not sure how."
