Title: The history of lol
Post by: Drace on July 11, 2005, 01:51:18 PM
In the beggining god created the planet, as most think. After that there were some wars and fighting when finally the PC came. With the invention of internet and games it took us in a new age, the age of fun. I remember it like it was 4 years ago. It was a normal game at C&C Renegade. And that's where Lol came from. C&C Renegade, one of the greatest online games of it's time. After that game and me and some gaming friends used it sometimes, other people used it and as we all know lol is allmost in the dictionary now.

Now wasn't that fun, history. It's a true story though, I really was there when it first came in gaming.

thats a load of bullcrap. lol has been round forever, timeless even.

Post by: Drace on July 11, 2005, 02:15:17 PM
You're wrong, it wasn't around forever. The shortcut "lol" comes back from C&C Renegade.

Post by: Weregnome on July 11, 2005, 02:18:28 PM
way before than m8. I started hearing lol when Battle.Net first got up and running.
Title:
Post by: Drace on July 11, 2005, 02:21:52 PM
Well I never heard it in my C&C Renegade and MOHAA time before that one game. And I played alot.

Post by: Trevlac on July 11, 2005, 03:56:36 PM
Yes battle.net is the true origin of many internet saying like "lol" and "pwned".  Actually, WarCraft is what brought about "pwned" because the developers had not properly spelled "owned".  Either that or it was Diablo 1.  One of those Blizzard games.  Anyway, Diablo 2 is an awesome game.

We can all agree on that Diablo 2 part. ^.^

lol had too many meanings and pointless ones like "Lots of Love"
Title:
Post by: coasterkrazy on July 11, 2005, 09:45:32 PM
No one mentioned using
c: see
o i c: oh, i see
gtg or g2g: got to go

I always thought those things orignated with online messengers such as aim, which i started using long before my friends, which was kind of pointless because i had no one to talk to.

I just also wanted to mention how terribly, TERRIBLY wrong Drace is.

Since lol has indeed existed during those first diablo1 Battle Net days, it must have existed before that, to the earliest IMs, things like ICQ, AIM and IRC. Not that I have any idea how long they have been around.

But they ALL have been around WAY LONGER than C&C Renegade. SoDraceyousuck:).

Just another abbreviation because the people in that speak english are too lazy to type anything else. Just like slang. I hate slang, that's why I'm moving to French.

You're moving to the language, or perhaps the country France?

I'm learning the French language.

And please don't anyone insult it as you just were. This may not mean anything to anybody, but just a small example of how screwed up the English language is today. If someone insulted the english language, no one would care. If you would insult the French language, they would turn hostile, that's how much they care about it.

Sorry for going off topic.

Post by: Razor on July 13, 2005, 10:09:04 AM
Whoa, Jiggy, you're making a whole lotta something outta nothing.

I'm just pointing out you said you were moving to French (a language) not France (a location)
Title:
Post by: Trevlac on July 13, 2005, 01:34:29 PM
This is exactly why I made up my own language.


And regarding French, I took French for 1 year.  Never, again.
