So, how do you say it:

"F-Wis"
"F.W.I.S"
"Fwis"

or some other way?

Well, it used to be 2 spaces...
I use F.W.I.S. and Fwis interchangeably. Or, "This internet forum I'm on."

I usually go with "This online forum I am part of". If I am talking to someone who actually knows what it is I usually say "FWIS".
