What's the point? That's an absolute waste of time when people here can quite easily be so much more informative in what they post. This obsession with acronyms and pseudo secrecy is completely retarded, and is quite obviously a symptom of the elitist attitude a lot of posters here seem to have. Like you say, it's easy to find the information within a few minutes, so why bother withhold it in the first place?

i somewhat can relate to that
however, a lot of people have been at this forum for quite some time, and when talking about bittorrent and trackers it is often easier to use abbreviations than writing the full (long) tracker name
this is similar to using imo for "in my opinion", url for "uniform resource locator", etc.
examples are:
- TL for torrentleech
- TVT for tvtorrents
- TB for torrentbytes
- SCT for scentorrents
- SCC for scene access (when you try to write this one the name is replaced by *'s)

there is another reason for the use of abbreviations
for some bittorrent trackers it is against the site rules to mention the full tracker name or url, this is the case for FSC and FTN
so using these abbreviations isn't so much elitist as just abiding by the site rules
