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.

I was just thinking about this the other day. The word in question is said a lot, most of them time not when the person is laughing out loud. I'm going to stick with my Meh and Heh's now.

Has anyone ever said 'LOL', you know after somebody tells a joke or something.

I haven't.
