IBTL stands for In Before The Lock. Ignorant people will tell you it means that the person who posts it expects the thread to be locked by a forum moderator for inappropriate content, but Lock in this case is clearly short for warlock. It's just used to mean that you posted before any warlocks did, because we're all so erudite and logical that we set the benchmark for any forum in which we participate. (Either that, or we whine louder than anyone else.)
