I'll make a couple guesses:
CYM: Check your mail
YGM: You've got mail
YGPM: You've got a private message
LOL: Laughing out Loud
ROFL: Rolling on the floor laughing
LMAO: Laughing my @ss off
TTT: To The Top (Bumping up a thread)

very helpful abbreviations...(VHA)

thanks

 

[gychang]

what does it when it says "bump"?

 

[kranky]

Since most people have it set to show the most recently replied-to thread at the top of the list, posting a "bump" in a thread will push that thread to the top of the list. Makes it more visible to others.

HTH (hope this helps)

Here is the AnandTech SemiOfficial FAQ. It doesn't have too many abbreviations but will help you know what people are talking about.
