I hate that you can't write lol here

[Sid Fairgate]

Not a big thing, but I hate when you try to write l o l as one word, you get this: lol

[Pamela Barnes]

lol lol lol l o l

Yes, we can change that. It is annoying.

[Garrison]

Can we keep the smiley around as :lol or something? I personally hate the way just the letters l o l look on forums, it's really an IM thing.

[PT Freakin' G]

Lucy Ewing did make one positive contribution in her time by fixing that. It must've gone back after site changes/updates.

[Garrison]

I hate that you can't have an all-caps post on here.

[Afton]

Amen...

[PT Freakin' G]

I hate that you can't have an all-caps post on here.

So does Ca--

Nevermind.

[bacteriophage]

I love that smiley! I use it way too much. Its even a substitute full stop for most of my sentences.

[graysonmom]

can't agree about the all caps thing. I DON'T LIKE TO BE YELLED AT!

[JROG]

Yes, let's change it if need be, but keep lol in some form!!! lol

This would go greatly in my Suggestion Box thread, I now realize :D:

DDD

[Pamela Barnes]

I like not having all caps. Its horrible when people shout.

[Garrison]

It's done nothing to curb the nastiness around here.

[Pamela Barnes]

What nastiness?

[Garrison]

What nastiness?

Is that a serious question? This forum has a political forum where virtually every thread for the past ~3 years has descended into pandemonium. Even the Help forum has tons of fights on it.

Oh theres a fine line between love and hate. Some of those people just need to get it on and let the passion out.

Then stop contributing to that nastiness, if you're so bothered by it. ;)

Just an FYI: telling people that their post is the "stupidest, most moronic statement I have ever heard" doesn't bring out the best in people. It's fine if people disagree with things that are said here, but telling people how moronic they are usually isn't a good way to get a civil debate off the ground.

That is just about the stupidest, most moronic statement I've ever heard.

lulz

[Mel O'Drama]

About the l o l thing, I discovered it by accident when I wrote the word lollipop. See what I mean?!

Like Bacteriophage, I like the symbol, and find it quite handy to be able to insert it in quickly, but it's quite funny that I can't write a word with those three letters in it without getting the giggly face.

[Pamela Barnes]

Oh yes lolipop

lolita

[Mojo]

Don't forget lollapalooza, lolling, lollie and lollygagging.

[Garrison]

l-o-l is so out of style anyway, everyone says lulz now.

[mztx71]

Try LOL

[Sid Fairgate]

l-o-l is so out of style anyway, everyone says lulz now.
Well call me out of style then, but I still use it. The only time I use "lulz" is on this forum, and only because I'm not wanting to post this: lol.

Not only that, but it affects all words that have l-o-l in them. It's dumb.

[mztx71]

What's lulz?

[Sid Fairgate]

What's lulz?
It's just another variation of LOL, and basically means the same thing.

[Afton]

"lulz" sounds like something an eight year old would text to their best friend.

[Garrison]

And l.o.l doesn't? lol Lulz was invented to create an actual, pronounceable word version of l.o.l

[bacteriophage]

Its easy enough to pronounce l.o.l...its just like the first part of l.ollipop but without the ipop bit. Lulz is stupid.

[BJR]

And l.o.l doesn't? lol Lulz was invented to create an actual, pronounceable word version of l.o.l

how do you know that?

[Afton]

That's right, Garrison. Keep telling yourself that...

[Garrison]

how do you know that?

Because it's... fact?


That's right, Garrison. Keep telling yourself that...

Umm, ok? Nothing in my post was a denial of anything... more young people say "lulz" than "l.ol". Internet slang, amazingly, has the power to evolve! l.ol was originally used to mean "lots of love"... it's meaning changed. Lulz makes no less sense as a term than three letters representing laughter.

[PT Freakin' G]

Ha ha he he ha ha ho.

[The Lovely Sue Ellen]

I love that smiley! I use it way too much. Its even a substitute full stop for most of my sentences.

Same here.
I use it way to much and you really can say LoL but you have to type it like that
