Hi Daan!!
Nice to meet you, first of all! I'll do my best to answer your questions.

BURP = Big Ugly Rock Piece.
You can also check out my Acronym FAQ if you need any other acro's...:

Welllll.... sure you can, but many people prefer to focus on one theme (due to
cash or time issues).

Yeah, 6097 is not a bad set, especially for pieces. And $40 is an OK price for
it, although when I got them for $25 that was nice...

Ahhh....
Castle World is a place for castle fans to share their creations in one place.
It's like one big world for all the creations by AFOLs (but only those who're
interested in participating, of course).
You can submit structures, characters, creatures and stories to share with
other people.

CWSOTW is something we're still working on. It stands for Castle World Story
Of The Week.

Heh, well, the guys on BrickLUG have been fighting for the past I-don't-know-
how-long about which is better. I vote for castle. <bias> ;-)
