• AFAIK: As Far As I Know
• AFAIR: As Far As I Recall
• AFK: Away From Keyboard
• ATM: At The Moment
• BSOD: Blue Screen Of Death

Solution 2:

One I've seen only recently is

• tl;dr

which apparently means "too long; didn't read".

Solution 3:

WTF - What the F*** (or 'Why the face' - Modern Family. Phil: "I'm cool dad, that's my thang. I'm hip, I surf the web, I text. LOL: laugh out loud, OMG: oh my god, WTF: why the face")

Solution 4:

i've noticed the emergence of the letter "F" in common acronyms, added for color. i.e. BTFW (by the f-ing way), etc. @Kramii's answer includes my favorite: RTFM!
