While we may never know the true origins of LOL, ROFL and all that come attached, we can go from anecdotal evidence, Ive enclosed a page kept on the University of Calgary webspace that has a story concerning the believed origins.
In all honesty, it's like asking who invented "Yo-Mamma" Jokes. There may never be a 'proper' answer, but like all things, I have a feeling that it was born out of nessescity, people hate typing.
In lending credence to the story enclosed in the link, way back in the days of 9,600baud and the 14.4kbps modems, LOL would have been seen by users in the chatrooms sooner than "Oh man, I was Laughing out loud on that one", thus leading to the time/bandwidth saving.
Also meant Loser on Line, back when people started living online instead of in the real world.
