Alright, I'm making this so that everyone is familiar with every internet term out there!
- newb: Someone who is relatively new to the internet, which may include a site or forums. This person does not fully understand the ways of that site/forum, and is therefore often shunned by older netizens. The truth is, everyone was once a newb.
-n00b: A n00b is commonly known as a person who is familiar with a site/forum, but acts like a newb to annoy people, or just because they like to. Other times, n00bs are just all around jerks who flame people for no particular reason.
-netizen: A familiar citizen to the internet, who has been a part of a site/forum for a long time and knows how everything works. An overall experienced surfer of the net.
-LOL: Most commonly known as "Laugh Out Loud", but also an abbreviation for "Lots of Love". Used to show laughter of one's self. Also known as "lawl".
-nom: Known as "to eat". To nom something is to devour them.
-no'm: An abbreviation for "no mam'". Not commonly used, but still semi-important.
-lolwat: A sign that one is laughing, but doesn't really understand the joke. Commonly, when someone says this, you want to go into further detail about the subject.
-WTF?: A sign that one is annoyed and/or confused. Stands for "Where/Who/What/Why The F*ck?".
-GTFO: An acronym for "Get the F*ck Off". This is commonly used out of anger, but in some cases, may be used for lawls.
-banned: When someone or something is no longer allowed to be on a site. This may apply to members of a site/forum or a video/picture on a site.
Shall be updated.
Also, Staff, PIN this.

You forgot STFU, and other uses of lol, such as lawl (the one you had), lawlz, lulz, and lolz. Also, Pwn, Pwned, Pwn3d, and Pwn't. >:
Rocket Fingers - April 8, 2008 02:24 AM (GMT)
The lol ones will all go to lol.
The STFU will be added.
And the Pwn'd ones will all be one definition.
Hyorinmaru - April 8, 2008 02:27 AM (GMT)
Pwn was meant to be one, just added in all the examples.

Lacks FTW and FTL. Two acronyms of great importance from which the pilars of the internet were built.
EDIT: Also missing are powned, pawnage, owned and ownage.... and you should explain what flaming is.
I mean as long as you're making an index like this you are still missing a lot of things.
