"The use of LOL on these forums"

It must end. Only when occasions truly do make you laugh out loud (which on these forums, doesn't happen very often) are you allowed to utter this shortcut. Any occasions which are mildly funny or just chuckle-worthy cannot be adorned with LOL - perhaps a 'Heh' or a *smiles* would be more appropriate.

Think about it, what would you sound like everytime you actually laughed out loud when you say you do? A mentalist, that's what you'd sound like.

It ends now. Just a quick reminder, but I can ban you all if you don't comply, like a nerdy Robocop.

Happens all the time on MSN. But remember, we wouldn't be doing it in real life - things are slightly exxagerated on the internet compared to the "outside world" - so a LOL is really a "Heh", so a LOL in real life would result in a "HAHAHAHAHA" or an "LMAO". Possibly.

LMAO

I'll use that instead or...

LMFAO.

lol (not much but a little)

Also it can have unwanted long term side effects. Once at school someone told me a joke. Instead of laughing I said lol...

People stared at me strangly for hours.

LOL!

TTT..

People coud use *g* aswell; stands for grins or grin, I quite like that.

Thing is though, the combined posts of this thread actually made me LOL ;>
Am I sad? (No, I just have to read console wars all day - it numbs the brain).

I havent said it since I read this topic first.

Does this rule (heh) apply to ROFL and LMFAO.

If not, I will adopt them. Great :-)

I probably use {:) too much, but that's because when you POP, you just can't stop.

err and how would you know if i said anything. unless... *to the side * i think we might have a stalker on our hands here (or is it the other Tony

I haven't.

Even Tony has said it a couple of times.... *and I was going to say it to Ali's 'Robocop' thing*
