I know it means "In before the lock", but why would you post that in your reply to the topic? Does it do anything for you? or is it just kind of implying that the topic will soon be locked or asked to move?

Its simply a way of raising your post count.

Everytime you are actually "IBTL", your E-Penis grows one inch.

ETA: IBTL just in case. Every inch counts.

because the bigger your post count, the smarter you are, the richer you are, the more physically fit, the better looking/cooking/shooting/most loyal wife ever you have, the larger your penis etc.

large post counts in no way imply that someone lives in their parents basement, sucking face with a blow up doll nightly, with no life other than trolling a forum on the internet ...

Since you only have a post count of 303 we all know that you have no idea what you are talking about and should be ignored.

Edited to add.

ETA: or it's estimated time of arrival.

Anyway, IBTL, +1, blah blah.
