Re: How old is this site?
woooooooooooooow! I think the Wayback Machine just may be my newest website obsession! Did y'all know these boards used to just be one ginormous forum??? And threads were simply called messages, and to indicate that there was more to the message than the subject line you'd put txt instead of m??? Mind. Blown.~~~~~PNLs:

Oh so that's what that '(m)' means! The mystery is finally solved! xD

(m) means (more).

In my experience, any forum post with mature content is labelled (m). I had no idea BtN used it for a different purpose. I just assumed that anybody putting (m) was following those rules

I'm a little late to respond here but this board typically does (PG-13) or something to warn about mature content. Most other forums don't allow you to write messages in the title of a reply. If someone writes a sentence reply in their title, they'd mark it with (nt) or (m) to allow people to know quickly if their post needs to be opened.

I've always interpreted it as 'message'.. with nt being 'no text'.

I think nt does mean no text. I think message or more both work.
