Oooh!! Lois & Clark/Batman crossover - really??? Weeee!!!!
I used BBS systems back in 1994 and we were barely even starting to use smileys in our messages at the time - we definitely weren't usng acronyms yet. At least not in any bulletin board or chatroom I was ever in at the time. I got on the internet per se in the fall of 1995. The first time I ever saw anything like "LOL" show up (and I had to ask because it meant nothing to me) was the first time I used IRC, sometime in the summer of 1996.
Mind you, I'm only one person and it could be simply because it wasn't hip with the people I used to hang out with at the time - I'd probably wait for a couple more people to swing by and answer before making a decision.
