It looks as if the flaws inherent in the low security level here (at greenspun) are beginning to show. Instead of being just an ugly blot on the community that people can shake their heads at and then ignore out of boredom, a 'problem' here has more freedom to poison and warp the whole process. It's awfully hard to maintain the decorum of 'real life' in an online community unless the participants are *held* to some immutable facsimle of an identity. Some will undoubtedly argue that is the great thing about online discussions - that new freedom, unpredictability, rawness, fire, blah blah blah etc., but I don't get the sense that *that* is what most here are after. There's a lot of fun here and a lot of intelligent debate, but most importantly (in the survival sense), there has been an awful lot of trust and respect. When individuals flaunt the conventions and treat the place as their personal playground, they weaken the established bonds and poison the group mentality. It's a bit of a tight spot, as it seems that some people will just never, ever get over themselves and defer to the larger intended purpose of a place.

One of the things I love about ILE is the LUSENET technology, and specifically the way it allows you just to keep away from certain threads if you can see they're boring or aggressive. No, ILE has not gone down the dumper.

honest question - as a current poster, why should i care if former posters have left ILX because it sucks now/is too in-jokey/is full of meanies? thats what people do when they stop enjoying something, or when something changes in a way they don't like. im not saying that stalky stuff is ok, but i dont understand the endless hand-wringing over these fantastic posters that have left the board, and i think it silently reinforces the whole golden days of ILX dichotomy that makes new/newer posters feel unwanted and unimportant.
didnt want to clutter up the meta-bitchiness thread with this, so i thought id put it here

I don't think you should care that people have left, JJ, but it's worth thinking about why they go. Like if it was a club night you were running, and everybody left because they were sick of the venue and the people who went and the music, that's one thing and, yeh, fuck 'em. If they leave because it's nothing but the same Boredoms track for six hours straight and there's always a huge punch up, with glasses and CSS flying everywhere, that's another thing.
Not saying ILX is either, mind.
― stet, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:10 (seventeen years ago)
the point isn't that the site is losing people, which is clearly not the case, but that the people here now are somehow less important/desirable than those people who have gone, cf. the pinefox's sadsack list of his friends who aren't here anymore.
the running theme is that lots of people are sad that ilx isn't exactly how they would choose it to be (or romantically remember it being) and it's tired old bullshit.

The general number of threads/posts trend is downwards, but it has been since 2004. There are ppl like pinefox who are harking back to some sort of halycon ILX days, but I don't think that's at all what's driving Pash or this no-meta thing -- it's about posters who are here.
― stet, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:17 (seventeen years ago)
i get your analogy, but the problem is that we aren't dealing with a big empty club, or a diminishing membership. despite the people leaving, ILX is bigger than ever, AFAIK. so if people are upset about people leaving ILX, this implies that it isn't because of a quantitative problem, it has to be a qualitative one. you rarely see people talking about how lots of posters are leaving in droves, but ive seen a lot of people saying that a lot of great or good posters have left because of the current uncivil/unreadable/lacking in legit discourse environment. which begs the question - what kind of posters are the rest of us that enjoy ILX the way it is, in the eyes of its current detractors?

― max, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:20 (seventeen years ago)
it is a qualitative problem, because people are leaving of their own accord and stating so e.g. not because of real-life issues like kids, jobs, or a new pill that makes them not have to use ILX any more; they're leaving because the ad hominem shit about them is making it untenable to post any longer from their perspective. I don't care whether those posters have been here for seven years or three months (though I'm not as likely to notice their disappearance in the latter case, I suppose), I care that swaths of ILX (outside of the regional threads, the MOLLIFY chat thread, or other rolling cliques) have essentially become hostile territory for a number of people and that the exit count continues to rise.
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:28 (seventeen years ago)
the whole argument being made about "if you say it here it's fair game" is being made with this really lovely assumption that's been evolving over time that anything/everything is "fair game" for something at all - you don't call something "fair game" if you mean fodder for earnest conversation, you mean "fair game" for fucking with the person who said it.
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:30 (seventeen years ago)
The general number of threads/posts trend is downwards, but it has been since 2004.
2006/1 94079 2006/2 82012 2006/3 99766 2006/4 87712 2006/5 95657 2006/6 80727 2006/7 73366 2006/8 57420 2006/9 75403 2006/10 75845 2006/11 66648 2006/12 4 2007/1 98195 2007/2 52238 2007/3 84534 2007/4 92889 2007/5 101476 2007/6 87792 2007/7 84254 2007/8 79861 2007/9 80435 2007/10 93167 2007/11 86283 2007/12 72389 2008/1 111294 2008/2 90844 2008/3 83796 2008/4 90883
True, there were a bit more average posts per month in 2004/2005 (a little above 100,000), but I'd say the general trend hasn't been declining or increasing in the past few years, just undulating around 90,000 or so.
― Z S, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:31 (seventeen years ago)
Yes, the "great" and "good" posters language isn't at all helpful as it does imply that everyone left is shitty and crap, and I don't like that, although there are posters I personally miss. Part of what's behind it, I suspect, is that ILX used to have lots of co-existing cliques, but they've broken down a bit and some posters' friends have left.
This could be my own rose-tinted specs, perhaps people were always digging on threads that wouldn't usually interest them for lulz -- there was a time last year when even Aeon Flux was getting comedy raids -- but It feels to me that ILX is not as good as it was at live and let live.

i think a lot of the sense that "things aren't how they used to be" is more just that so much of the stuff that's worth discussing and worth saying has been used up....all the great themes have been turned into theme parks...there's a thread on ILM for almost anything you could possibly think about music.....all that's left to do is just, you know, either leave or stick around and continue to TALK HARD

JJ: What happened with you is how it should work, ideally. Not you get a thread all about you on a sub-board posting everything you've ever done for mocking, posters looking for real-life shit about you, turning up on your Flickr and all the other stuff Pash mentions, all because yr "boring" to them about music.
― stet, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:40 (seventeen years ago)
I don't give a shit about the history here. I give a shit about the fact that last week I nearly quit the boards myself because I didn't want to be a "mod" where my job consisted mainly of explaining myself to the likes of rude shit-stirring motherfuckers who take perverse enjoyment in getting other posters to recuse themselves from the board on a permanent basis
There's a problem here in that all the egregious examples of what Pash is talking about are all DELETED so we can't exactly hold them up to eveyone and point and say "this, this can fuck right off, understand?" no teaching without a visual aid these days

fair enough, I guess it's noble to feel a sense of duty to serve as a mod because you'd been asked to. but I think it's fair to say you're thought of as an A++ poster but controversial at best as a mod, and a lot of us would rather you quit or take a break from being a moderator than just up sticks and leave because being a mod is, I can only imagine, a pretty big pain in the ass.

why is this not worksafe, or is that a joke
has anyone ever done the IMPORTANT STATISTICAL WORK of plotting posts per thread over time?

― DG, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 19:49 (seventeen years ago)
wow. we need more to do.
― Surmounter, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 19:49 (seventeen years ago)
Sure does make it easier to tell who is incredibly self-important.
― dan m, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 19:49 (seventeen years ago)
It does?
― HI DERE, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 19:50 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah if you can like, read.

OH CRAP THATS WHY I KEEP GETTING CONFUSED

Good job playing the purposeful obtuse card guys.
― dan m, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 19:56 (seventeen years ago)
if you want to see purposeful obtuse you should see the other thread
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 19:57 (seventeen years ago)

I'd c&p but I don't wanna get banned :D
― dan m, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 20:10 (seventeen years ago)
(my point was that most everyone here has stretches of shocking self-importance all of the time and I don't think you need a thread like this to see it)
― HI DERE, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 20:12 (seventeen years ago)
uh there's definitely a spectrum
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 20:13 (seventeen years ago)
There is, but you still don't need a thread like this to see it.
― HI DERE, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 20:15 (seventeen years ago)
this thread is all about ther evivial of butt mucous - well fuck you all, i'm out of here, and i'll never shit my filth upon your darkened doorsteps again. i can tell when my anal weeping is not wanted.

^^^real talk
― DG, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 20:17 (seventeen years ago)
Right but IMO the difference is that there are the people who go in streaks of self-importance and then there are the people rehashing the same obscure points over on the ADMIN thread all trying to rationalize why they do/don't agree with the ideas put forth by the mods. Plus I don't read every thread so it consolidates that shit a bit. xp
― dan m, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 20:18 (seventeen years ago)
i can't even remember what back then prompted this thread
― DG, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 20:21 (seventeen years ago)
