Why you post "IBTL" ?
Is it because you are predicting it will be locked? Because you reported it? Because you are busting someone? Why do people post IBTL? I have wondered that, since I was told what it meant.

2. I suspect people do it after they have alerted on a thread.

5. I have never alerted on a thread that I posted IBTL in.
It is more of a prediction.

7. If it's obviously a call-out or a sex thread, people do that.
Today, though, I'm simply screwing around with a certain someone.
