This is getting annoying. I am always seeing this website spammed in the most un-needed situations, and it is getting out of hand. I think they should ban this or making this website bannable. If you seriously wanted to help, you could post an actual link or a google link, but don't use this smartass website. Thank you. edit: To everyone saying "ignore it", some people will choose not to, and it will disrupt the thread. This site is essentially a meme, and last time I checked, those are pretty bannable.

It's not that the site is wrong. People use it wrong. People make it look like a troll or troll it.

Anything can be trolled, you might as well ban everything, because I could troll with "the" "pancake" "meso" "LMGTFY" "rickroll" TROLLS WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, SO SUCK IT UP. LMGTFY IS COOL ANYWAY

The problem isn't the website, the problem is the kind of people using the website to be stupid. Honestly, I think the site is rather funny. But regardless, I think that those who USE it in a kind of manner should take responsibility.

Its not a website its a google search engine if someone is dumb enough not to be able to find something online for themselves and asking for someone else to google something for them then let me google that for you fits into that situation since you are googling for them. (For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves.)

this is what happens when people do one thing for too long go out and do something else (you dont even need to leave the house if your THAT lazy) if you dont like it move on or better yet make your own not a whole bunch of people are complaining about it except you, you know...

I agree 100%. It should be counted for as a meme.

LMGTFY basically redirects to Google so why not ban Google while you're at it?

I believe sometimes it actually contributes to the topic.

Go check the general section, one guy even posted a lmgtfy link to a scammed thread saying "the difference between nx cash and rl money". It is just being a smartass and not helping anybody out." On that thread, the person posted that link in response to a previous poster who had asked "What's the difference between cash and nx?" "What's the difference?" LMGTFY Response I noticed that LMGTFY redirects you to a site called vanillaresults.com before sending you to google.
