I've seen the term AFOL around; for example, this site has an tag. What does AFOL stand for?

AFOL stands for "Adult Fan Of LEGO".

From an unofficial LEGO acronym glossary:

AFOL

Adult Fan of LEGO. The most common term used to refer to LEGO fans who are adults. Generally pronounced to rhyme with “hay-foal”.

Or from Brickipedia's glossary (also unofficial):

AFOL - Adult Fan Of LEGO

    I saw that meaning before asking, but it didn't explain the way [tag:afol] tag is being used. Is there another meaning, or is the tag usage incorrect? – Dori Oct 26 '11 at 04:22

    The only question using that tag at the moment isn't really about adult fans. – Joubarc Oct 26 '11 at 04:27

    I'd say that it was a case of incorrect tag use - perhaps the OP considers themselves an AFOL, and tagged it as such? – Zhaph - Ben Duguid Oct 26 '11 at 09:02
