On some forums people need to post in order to be subscribed to a particular thread. They’ll do a quick “in” to save it and then can go back and read the rest later. [/quote]

So why do it here? Habit?

It’s become an Internet meme. People do it because people do it.

The only place I’ve seen inb4 was on 4chan, until now. I was really hoping to keep that place seperate from here. Rules 1 & 2, after all.

My understanding if it from there is when someone asks a question, they’ll put inb4 as a kinf of diversion. Kinda like saying, “Yeah this is a weak post, please don’t flame me too hard.”
