"lol" is sort of a token gesture. I may "lol" when i think that something is fairly funny but doesnt warrant an audible laugh. A slight rush of air from the nostrils may be considered a "lol". I may also "lol" if i dont think its funny at all and im just humouring you.

I reserve "haha" for things that i actually find funny. If you get an extra "ha" or 2, such as hahah or hahaha then boy have you really made me laugh! Im not some kind of dumbass retard so i dont say lmao or rotfl

lol at this thread

OP makes good threads that provoke discussion. All these other mrgathreads Suck.

He just needs to learn to only post 1-2 threads per day to avoid further probation
