Although, if having your name on a website counts as fame, then the simple act of posting on the forums gave just as much fame as the fame website itself. Communication:Acronyms Forums |

Angela Brett, when somebody spammed the Apronyms Forums about a website promising 'instant fame', where the fame was no more than having your name on the website. If having your name on a website counts as fame, then a much better way to get famous is to submit apronyms to this site. (Note that this apronym was added in 2005... but I haven't added many apronyms recently so I won't claim that fictitious title for this year.) Communication:Acronyms Forums |
