I would link to a wiki page, but it contains bad langage, so I sadly cannot, or at least not without breaking the forum rules. Sorry. However, from what I know:
AFAIK — As far as I know
BTW — By the way
Bump — When somebody posts in a thread to bring it back up to the top of the forum page and get it noticed.
Spam — Posting, which often makes no sense, just to increase post-count. Most posts of this nature include the phrase "+1" to indicate the level of which their post count has increased by.
AoR (a.k.a ZoR) — Area/Zone of recruitment, A feature in many modifications, and in the games M:TW and R:TW, which restricts certain units to be trained in certain regions. For example, Swiss Pikemen can only be trained in the province of Switzerland or Spartan Hoplites only being available in Sparta and Syracuse.
PBM (a.k.a PBeM)— Play by (e-mail) campaign. A nice explanation of this can be found here.
Hope this helps, cheers!

Dawn is nature's way of telling you to go back to bed
Thanks guys! :)
Found two more confusing ones:
FRAPS
UI
Also, as for FTW ("for the win), "[x] ftw" means "[x] is (a) good (thing)". Could be extended to FTD, ~L (For the Draw, ~Loss) - again, "This is mediocre"/"This is bad", but those are really only joke ones.
UI is User Interface, I believe. It's basically what you see on screen (Unit cards, mini-map...)
FRAPS, I don't think is an abreviation, but is a usefull program to take screenshots and videos. It's free, but in that case you can only get 30 seconds max videos. I don't know any other limitation.
