      This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It was definitely the go-to abbreviation during the early days of the internet, at least in my circles. Nowadays we've become so anglicised that everyone just uses English norms instead.
I remember using asg as a kid/young teen, and I remember people at the time were looking down on those using "lol" or "rofl" instead, calling them silly posers.
