I wouldn't portray a laughing smiley in words, I'd try and express the emotion. However you raise a fair point, if it could end the use of "lol" as a surrogate for punctuation then I'll take back my previous doubts.
no cool face either...
How revolutionary it would be to add that, it would be an internet forum first.

This one would amuse, but it really riles people on another forum I frequent.
Ahh that smilie will do

It would be so distracting.
This forum is distracting, i think it will go well together

This guy speaks the truth.
That looks more like a nervous twitch to me
Animated smilies are for people under 14,
anyone older has generally got the hang of stringing words together into a coherent sentence.
Yet some will hit enter when there is no need to.

Okay so for a sentence to replace a laughing smilie would be,
"I find that funny"
"Guffaw guffaw so funny old chap"
or the classic,
"lol"
You saying people should write sentences instead of smilies, for goodness sake smilies are meant to portray emotion, laughter is a hard one to portray in words without sounding like a ****.

You could always change lol to a full stop as it's used as a punctuation mark a lot.

The smilie we really need for some of our more ... ah ... special posters is as follows :

ahem, I believe you also double-space your posts for clarityYet some will hit enter when there is no need to.
So someone happens to say something funny, do they really need my acknowledgement of their quip? I'm sure they are emotionally secure enough already to make do with an occasional lol.
I think it's attention seeking - oh look at me, I'm finding something hilariously funny - hence you only ever see drivel like this on American forums, where inane backslapping is what passes for interaction.
