LSAC does not recommend faxing because the image of the letter is not always clear, and the barcode on the form can be distorted. Either of these problems can cause a significant delay in processing. If faxed documents are clear they will be accepted; however there is no guarantee.
It's in the LOR FAQs on your LSAC account. Maybe next time be a little more patient and/or spend 30 seconds on your own research...

In the FAQ's it says that they don't recommend it, but I have heard from others that it still works fine/is the way to go. I was just wondering if anyone had any insight.

It sounds like, unless you're under a time crunch, try faxing it and see if it gets processed or call LSAC. I think I faxed them something once, (though it may have been a different org, I can't remember) and it went through without incident. Most fax machines do a reasonable job of faxing. You could also consider e-faxing.
