Solid good people, a lot like she says about Kevin. elmo argonaut: Foolish not to like, I think. Mr. Que: I like it when he agrees with me. Too obvious? Naw, just joking, I agree with him just as much. Morbius: You all know he's actually a big softie, right? I mean, nobody *really* thinks he's an old crank? :) Jon Williams: I look forward to his podcasts, lolz, and bitch fits. Endless entertainment from this guy. chaki: dude is insane. max: I can't say exactly, but... good vibes, I guess? He seems v bro-like. Abbott: goes without saying by now. Rubyredd: Is she still around much? bell labs: favorite picture of cat power, new champion. Tombot: I don't think it would be too bad to grow up to be a little more like him. ILX System: does this dude have your back with the timely thread revive or what? Amazing. Prescient, even. HI DERE: I'll let Mr. Perry stand in for all the eternal classic posters.

-- tombot reminds me so much of my cousin's husband (just swap out national security with nasa in the job description) which makes me smile at the smart dude rage. also he invited me to brodown when i was living near dc one summer (with said cousin and c's husband) which fell through cos i was living in the boonies of maryland WHATS A DUDE TO DO-- hoos is at the very least a spurs sympathizer which makes him A+ broseph, also probably closest in geographical proximity to me! also it would not surprise me if we at least have mutual acquaintances for this very fact-- all the ILHoops and rap dudes dudes and ladies are golden-- ade langston for #1 login names ('butt is the loneliest number' a personal fav)-- dan p gave me props once for remixing a song of his which made me feel like the president of 808 drumbeats-- libcrypt an enbb are also veggies like meee

Clarke B is a really great and often under-appreciated poster. I always like it when he draws analogies from the world of wine.
Even though Lex and I don't often see eye-to-eye all that often, I still enjoy his posts a lot. Really knowledgeable and forthright poster.
Contenderizer has a great way of explaining often quite abstract concepts in simple, understandable terms. Number of times he's managed to translate my rambling flights of fancy into succinct intelligible English sentences while others do the internet equivalent of raised eyebrows.
Vegemite Grrrl strikes me as a really fun person to be around
ENBB - makes me laugh on probably more occasions than any other poster, and that's saying a lot

I'm always fascinated by the fact that we never know where Posterity will come a-knocking.
Picture a quiet street in the north of England, sometime in the mid- 80s. Posterity, who looks a lot like The Reaper but carries a butterfly net instead of a scythe, knocks on the door of a detached house.
Paddy McAloon opens it. 'I am Posterity, and I've come for the pop of the 80s!' says Posterity in a grand voice.
'Ah, I've been expecting you,' says Paddy, and drops into the net a couple of pristine vinyl copies of Prefab Sprout's 'Swoon' and 'Steve McQueen'.
Posterity flings them aside angrily and marches into the lounge, where Paddy's 8 year old nephew is playing Arkanoid, filling the room with flurries of scuzzy blippy sound. Posterity grabs an armful of datasettes.
'Oi!' chorus Paddy and his nephew, 'that's not the pop of the 80s!'
'It is now,' cackles Posterity. Snubbing Paddy's 1000cc Triumph, he makes his escape on a poorly-pixelated BMX bike.

dayo's 'photowheel thread' on ILP is my favorite thing on ILX atm -- not that they're all his photos but the idea and the 'no commenting' thing really nails it
and I love his screencaps thread too
that is all.

i wanted to say something about amateurist before but my excuse was that i was posting on my phone. i've made comments to him on other threads that i think he took as sarcasm, but we don't share the same tastes and we don't move in the same ilxor circles and i'm mostly reading him and not responding to him in any concrete way. i've been reading ilx for ten, eleven years now, i guess, and he's a guy who i've always paid attention to because: i like his honesty, his sensitivity, his emotional unguardedness. among his posts there are thumbnail pictures of his life that seem a bit vague, maybe, if read in isolation but reward close reading and stalkerish tracking of his life as viewed through ilx.

I can personally attest to this as well. One time she sent me a decoy "emergency text" to get me out of a bad date and it was something like "Omg rhonda has a major cat poop problem, you need to help rhmda!" which made me laugh way too hard to pretend that I'd just received an actual emergency text but it did make the awful date a bit better.

emilys otm. homosexual II is smokin' hot and has some interesting stories, seems to have a certain kind of equanimity too and often v funny. i associate her with nicole, enbb and carl agatha, who are also smart and often hilarious people. jordan s, reverend, some dude, DJP posts/threads about r&b/hip-hop are engaging, enlightening and consistently lolworthy, especially in the deployment of gifs. dayo also a gif master. elmo always has intelligent things to say in the style thread, among others, and i admire his taste and acuity. i'm another who has learned a lot from alfred, and i appreciate his devilish wit. dmac also very quick-witted, makes me envious. slocki and eric h make me laugh a lot but also very knowledgeable about movies. also, scott, you are awesome.

realise this shd be 1 ilxor, but i'm feeling p good about everyone here. remember saying to xyzzzz__ that ilx at its best felt like George Eliot's description of a Florentine marketplace, with gossips, thieves, priests, barbers, scholars, the entertaining untrustworthy, the boring, the indifferent, the show offs& sceptics. so big shout out to ILB cru - ledge, xyzzzz__, woof, james morrison, c#m, thomp, j redd & the bs, and hon member Tom D - yr words and thoughts impact directly on my life and appreciation of lit in an incredibly positive way. in music and ILE, NV is a hero, dmac is a gas, likewise Nakh's language and lex p's dowser-like musical enthusiasm. Rob is amazing for keeping that dancehall and reggae thread going almost single-handedly. K8 sorely missed. Think I've had more good songs off Skot Seward (not to mention his book recs) than anyone else in recent years. Plasmon, TIm F and nabisco are str8 tutors 4 the modern mind. And kinda everyoe else as well? *The convivial marketplace*.

Turns out imago is a lovely man who put up with my stream-of-blether about barth, accents, scott walker, daniel kitson, beer, daisies, gass, david thomson and paul anderson. V glad to meet meet ya L
Should warn everybody tho that I introduced him to elkin's famous defence of maximalism
My editor at Random House, Joe Fox, used to tell me, “Stanley, less is more.” He wanted to strike—oh, he had a marvelous eye for the “good” stuff—and that’s what he wanted to strike. I had to fight him tooth and nail in the better restaurants to maintain excess because I don’t believe that less is more. I believe that more is more. I believe that less is less, fat fat, thin thin and enough is enough. There’s a famous exchange between Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe in which Fitzgerald criticizes Wolfe for one of his novels. Fitzgerald tells him that Flaubert believed in the mot précis and that there are two kinds of writers—the putter-inners and the taker-outers. Wolfe, who probably was not as good a writer as Fitzgerald but evidently wrote a better letter, said, “Flaubert me no Flauberts. Shakespeare was a putter-inner, Melville was a putter-inner.”* I can’t remember who else was a putter-inner, but I’d rather be a putter-inner than a taker-outer.
so if he doubles down on his LJness u can all blame me ;-)

Even if I don't seem to agree with anything anyone says I appreciate everyone's contributions and this is a super chill place for the most part. I can't count the number of amazing videos or music or books or movies or ideas that I've been introduced to. Just wish I was a better writer/communicator in general...

Mordy wrote this on thread Conventional Mealy Mouths: The 2016 Primary Voting Thread, Part 5 on board I Love Everything on 25-May-2016that argument only makes sense if your self-conceptialization is entirely as a lone independent actor - in which case one solitary vote does not participate in any meaningful way in the political process. however there is such thing as a society and we are not just independent actors but part of large collectives of self-interest, identity and affiliation and the only reason why NY is a stable blue state is because there are a whole bunch of "independent actors" who go and vote and make it that. you have to be dripping w/ self-aggrandizement to not understand that your participation in the vote matters not bc you alone get to make the decision but bc /you/ collectively do. i wonder if other countries have this "your vote doesn't matter" argument or if it can only exist in the context of america's radical cult of individualism.

Like many skilled debaters, he's adept at sniffing an opponent's weakness and making a rhetorical lunge. When this doesn't work he smothers in Latinates, like an squid shooting ink before escaping.

In this forum since we don't have avatars it takes me longer to assemble an idea of who each poster is and what they're like. There are lots of posters I still get mixed up. Most of those "(name) in (place)" posters are just jumbled together for me. I've seen a lot of your opinions on films and music but I still haven't figured out what your favourite types of things are or what you're likely to say.

SV & goole I value for always being so well-informed on all sort of current events & trends, and also being able to succinctly and pithily summarise e.g near-eastern domestic politics or obscure factions of online crypto-fascist neer-do-wells for the rest of us.
dlh & NV can do this too, but what I really value them for is their ability to place events in a broader analytical framework and convincingly connect them with some kind of positive leftist narrative of change, but without slipping into sentimental pieties and platitudes. NV also a knack of putting forward analyses which prod me out of some of my more complacent, basically bourgeois reflexive assumptions (but without resorting to challops or falling into the trap of being 'provocative' for its own sake).

More broadly (no pun intended), ILX has been gifted with top-tier women posters (just not nearly enough of them). The thread where men are forbidden to post is often one of the best. Wish we had more threads where people were relegated to just 'listening' to other people.
― Home of the Ill-Considered Gravy Spigot (Old Lunch), Thursday, 16 November 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
wow, thanks, people! like i said on that other thread, my most genuine gratitude goes to the ilx massive even through its many dramatic changes -- i have stuck around here this long for a number of reasons, and managed to mostly lay low and try to interact with people about music and other things in a mutually positive (noncombative) manner. people aren't as mean here as they used to be (i have been here for 12 years!) and i feel more comfortable just being myself. that wasn't the case when i got here 12 years ago, so thanks for being here ilx! i do regret that many women said fuck it and left. i totally understand why.
and hi 5 to all ilxors i have hung out with irl -- wkiw again, i aim to be peaceful in all spheres
it's great if there are spaces for "listening" but tbh i don't like the idea of having an audience. it makes me uncomfortable. that is why i like ilx, i can just be myself!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 16 November 2017 17:57 (six years ago) link
i think w/ILX and the time i've spent here since 2004(!), the women who have posted here in the past and at present (LL, enbb, roxy, jbr, in orbit, horseshoe, tokyo rosemary, harbl, branwell, and others) have just through reading what they have to say have contributed in some way to making me a better man. i'm much better now than i was back then. i'm sorry that some of them don't post here anymore though i get it. i actually met JBR IRL for about thirty seconds, wish i'd had a moment to talk to her more actually but it was at a show...

― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 16 November 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link
i used to drink a ton and i don't anymore and i'm just glad i didn't post anything too terrible that made too many people hate me. i made some bad jokes that i regret. sometimes i will remember when i would be up late spending, like, an hour typing a sentence because i couldn't see straight. those were the days!
on Facebook once this rock critic guy who as far as i know has never ever posted here posted something and i posted a youtube that i thought was applicable and he said something like: scott, you aren't going to post a million youtube videos are you?
it embarrassed me! my reputation preceded me or something. anyway, i don't know if i have grown since the old days, but i am less drunk. and the women here are definitely a big reason why i am still here. and i do miss the people who don't post anymore too. it was geeta's birthday yesterday.

For the record, I'd like to state that ilx/ilm user Toby is a prince among men. Having never interacted with him on here before, he saw a post of me and offered to send me an extra copy of a - to me - invaluable record of The Caretaker that I missed out on and didn't have a chance to get a hold of. No questions asked, nothing required in return, not even a reimbursement, 'merely' a grand act of kindness from one ILM'er to the next. This poster made my new year, it warms the heart, and it's a testament to how beautiful ilm can be (underneath all the snark etc).

The excellent and unspoken corollary here is that if Brad likes something I very much do not -- let us say, oh I don't know, Third Eye Blind, curse of the earth -- I can read his appreciation of them, disagree with it, but never once think his opinion about something I might not have heard yet is wrong or bad because of such a judgment. And that's sometimes a rare thing.
Also, having hosted him at a party at our place a couple of years ago, he's an excellent guest.

Aw, thanks, y'all are tops, too. And I have to say, more than being thought of as smart or funny or good looking to a point which is ridiculous and frankly almost unbelievable, it's my overriding life goal to be seen as kind, so that's a high compliment imo. I'm still kind of a long way off from achieving that goal (had to reeeeeally dig deep through a couple interpersonal interactions yesterday), but I try to bring it 'round these parts as much as possible and only rib those posters (like the Morbz) who I'm relatively sure know that there's no malice involved in my ribbing.
On the Zep front, I was just the other day wishing I had a lawn to mow because sweatin' it out to a LZ side was about the only thing that made that particular activity tolerable. Made me feel like a badass, tbrr.

― Mordy, Saturday, 15 December 2018 01:53 (five years ago) link
like you see sometimes people have different tastes in styles of communication and some people like a more complex idea presented in a more compelling tone and some people like more straight forward homespun wisdom and sometimes people in one group may not understand what the people in the other group are seeing because perspectives are complex and we all see things from our own point of view. a nine to me could look like a six to you. and so it's best to be kind by recognizing our own limitations in seeing another perspective.

engendering a kind of fundamental humility, I guess. like what the fuck do i know? someone posted in the masculinity thread something like “it must be nice to feel so sure of things” and it got lost in the thread but it resonated with me.
there are a lot of different kinds of people in the world, and people are complex, difference exists I remind myself all the time and it helps me to be a compassionate person and less concerned with having right or wrong opinions and beliefs

I'll add my voice to the chorus of Aimless praise.
That said, as a follow-up to what Mordy said, what strikes us as common sense or an attempt at understanding the topic at hand from a reasonable angle may be construed as covert ideology. It goes without saying that I don't believe that to be the case in this instance (or it's an ideology I agree with), but I'm afraid his efforts ultimately did very little to bridge the communication gap, which is somewhat tragic.

I'd like to say something nice that is more generally about ILX: When I get the urge to engage in conversation (specifically online in lieu of an IRL option), I strongly prefer to have a conversational group of people who might care about what I have to say. The way ILX is structured, I can choose to share my thoughts/questions (at any time of day or night!) about a specific topic with other people interested in that topic who ostensibly read/ post on the thread because they also have an interest in the topic. Then I potentially (ideally) avoid 1) annoying/inciting the "rage" of other people by yammering to people who don't care and 2) can learn from others interested in the topic 3) post in several different threads without feeling like I am yammering in a manner coherent to myself alone, as I would if I were to share my thoughts on twitter, for example.
There's no Me Feed here unless someone specifically searches for posts by a specific user (right?). I realize that hashtags function in this way for some people, but I like the general environment of ILX because I am free from my own image, free from my public-facing identity, and yet also hopefully at least somewhat known to people on account of having been here for a while (since 2005?!) and having met/enjoyed quality hangs with a number of you irl (and online!)
So thanks ILX, you have weathered the social media storm and come out ahead in a number of ways. You are not perfect and you have had many bouts of being unwell as a space for my preferred variety of nonconfrontational conversation, you are still here and have the above-mentioned attributes to your favor. This post is not about me; it is about appreciating the longevity and specificity of our old pal. ILX. *toast*

― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 1 August 2019 21:18 (four years ago) link
LL says what I have thought for a while now but too much of a lurker to articulate confidently. I've been here in one form or another for over 10 years I think and keep visiting because it's like walking into a pub where you're comfortable to sit on your own or equally strike up a conversation with a likeminded soul. You might not speak to many people but you're on nodding terms with most.

so i woke up thinking about this (no i don't have an ilx problem) and i'm sorry if i get kind of personal here but i do want to talk a little about how ilx has grown and developed and what that means to me
i get frustrated when i see people being nostalgic for Old ILX because, particularly when one of those threads gets bumped, it was something i was always kind of conflicted about. the people here were really smart and really well-spoken and, well, the reputation was that it was sort of a critics' hangout, right?
that was kind of difficult for me. partly because i'd had some pretty terrible interactions with a music critic on usenet (he will not be named and as far as i know was never here, but he was super into kink shaming), and partly relating it to my own life
all the trauma work i've been doing the topic of the "inner critic" comes up. it doesn't mean quite the same thing as someone being a professional critic, but i don't see the two usages as being entirely unrelated. writers are people who tend to have a pretty poor self-image in the first place (one of the misguided reasons i never really pursued being a professional writer - i feel like i sort of confused correlation with causation, which i've done in other areas of my life), and then you add in a sort of work which tends to magnify the critical voice and at worst critics can become these "boys in the band" types who are utterly merciless and lacerating both of themselves and of others
well that was sort of how i saw Old ILX, and for whatever reasons - i'd prefer to accentuate the positive ones - i feel like ILX has become kinder, more compassionate, its posters more self-accepting. that makes me happy.
at the same time that experience and growth, this is the paradox, means that i feel like people here don't necessarily say as much stupid shit. people give the impression of having thought before speaking. certainly that's what i try to do, and the flip side of writing things and not posting them is that i've written some stuff where not posting was absolutely the right decision. there's less viciousness but it's still an environment where if someone talks shit, i mean speaks ad ignorantum, they stand a good chance of being called on it. it's been helpful and hopefully i talk less shit than i used to!

Every woman who still posts here, AFAB or not, helps me be a better person. I tried to make a list of notables but it got long, and then I realized I would inevitably leave someone out or far worse, deadname somebody by accident. I also recognize that “help tombot be a better person” is probably as far as possible from the real reason anybody still posts here, just pointing out a side effect that I personally appreciate.

Lots more but it’s 3.30am so
When I first joined ilx 13 yrs ago it was exactly the same time I really started using the internet - I’d literally only used it to check my email once a year. But I got my first computer and dived right in. Not even sure how I found this place. Anyway, I was extremely immature, knew nothing about being *online* in terms of community, was going through a v difficult patch where I wasn’t sleeping or eating on any kind of regular basis, posted a lot without thinking (I hit delete way more often than I hit publish these days). But ilx was generally pretty forgiving of my idiocy and I made some great friends here (still surprises me that anyone wanted to befriend 2007 me), met a bunch of you in person, and ilx has definitely made me a smarter person (although I still feel like I’m the dumbest person on any thread I post to). The last few years my depression-thread buddies have been a particularly amazing source of support.

just1n3 your ilx origin story is so great! i also started full time ilx duty around that time, also under somewhat lone internet wolf circumstances. sometimes you're just driftin' on the internet, and then you come along a messageboard and make a post, see what happens. i like that we've been in the same internet town for 13 years! honestly, i think the fact that i haven't shaved since i started feeling weird about 'coronavirus' is giving me this drifter mentality. it's hard to say what ilx was like in 2007, but it wasn't the wild west.
i'm high as hell, sorry. <3 you just1n3!
tomboto did something incredibly thoughtful and caring for me a couple years ago, as a surprise during some really dark days for me. i haven't had too many irl tears in general the last several years (which is weird because i used to cry at everything. i guess now that i'm a longtime ilx "drifter", some emotional states have gummed up the works, so to speak), but what he did was no nice, and i felt so undeserving at the time (feeling better now!), it was just...something else. anyway, he was already an all-timer before that but now i'm like robert redford/zack galafanakis nodding and giving the thumbs up in that one clip, in his direction, all the time. *tumbleweed and dust*

For the curious: 'pomenit' (from the Slavic pominĕti, like most Romanian words with potentially religious connotations) means 'evoked', so 'pomenitul' is 'the evoked one' or 'the aforementioned one' (male), the '-ul' suffix being a definite article (like 'le' in French or 'der' in German, except you append it after the noun). The names of various pomeniți are chanted during Christian Orthodox memorial services, provided you ask the priest nicely ahead of time (Balkanic bribery ftw). At the time I decided to run with this handle, I was listening to a shitty bootleg of Ștefan Niculescu's Pomenire. Un recviem românesc (literally: Evocation: A Romanian Requiem, after Brahms, of course).
No idea what a pomentiful is tbh, but I'm willing to learn.

Haha, Google translates it as 'memorable', which is fair enough, I suppose, since to evoke is also to remember.

I try to think of ways to describe it or talk about people on it that aren’t defensive-sounding but it’s hard. Then I want to backtrack and to add things like “but I met him several times in real life and used to run into him quite a bit in the city! One of his best friends lives a few blocks from me! She used to date one of my best friends when they were in college, he was in my wedding party. As was my other friend who is a DJ at the station where she is also a DJ, where he was well-known as a volunteer! It’s all connected do you see?” So even more defensive. I have some formulations that I tell myself at least, but I can’t type them into the chat box right now.

― frogbs, Thursday, 22 October 2020 13:34 (three years ago) link
definitely didn't see myself posting on and off for 15 years here. closest experience I had was a web magazine I used to write music reviews for between 2000 - 2005. That board, we are all mostly still in contact, but it's not like it is here - the messages are infrequent, and we no longer have a board where we all post to. it's kind of scattered on FB, and some of us have met in real life but not many.
admittedly around 2016 I was frustrated here and only sticking around to read the politics thread until Trump was vanquished so I could skedaddle away, and after that didn't happen, I stuck around to be assuaged, since everybody I knew IRL was utterly freaking out in ways that weren't helpful to me, that I wasn't able to parse.
was only after that where I managed to actually properly connect with people here for the first time due to my hair-trigger anger issues that often make message boards difficult. i'm glad for that as right now, I need a board like this for more cogent, even-handed takes where my friends, great people as they are, tend to be too stressed out to help me parse a lot of what's going on in calm, reasoned tones.
I realize the board began as a community as many of the original posters knew each other IRL, but even as the board moved on from those days and the community tended to be more people who didn't know each other IRL, it was pretty apparent that everybody here gives a shit about each other's offline lives, and (for teh most part) engages with each other as human beings rather than just sentient display names.
have definitely learned a lot here - hell, my earliest posts in 2004 barely appear to be English, and filled with ellipses. a large part of my vocabulary and improved writing style came from absorbing the things I learned and read here.
have definitely needed this place during the pandemic. am grateful for it.

Somehow, this place has taught me some essential lessons about what it is to be human, and I'm really grateful for all of you, even if I am sometimes a crabby leftist jerk.

I have been on here for around 20 years. I've written some absolutely juvenile, ignorant and frankly offensive rubbish on this board in the past which I'm really very ashamed of, and it's a wonder anyone still gives me the time of day. But I've also learnt a lot from reading other posters and from being challenged on a lot of things I'd never thought to question until that point. So to those ends, I completely identify with ILX as being somewhere I learn about everything and where I learnt to grow up.

xpost yeah I have a hard time describing ILX to people who don't already know it, as "message boards" in 2020 people either think you mean Reddit or like a Joe Bonnamassa phpBB fan-site which sees one new post every two weeks. the idea of a board where some people have posted to it for 20 years seems antiquated.
(course I also don't tell other people about ILX as I definitely aired some dirty laundry foolishly at various times that I wouldn't want to get out).
i was crying last night and didn't really know how to explain it to the non-ILX friends, so I simply wrote a rest in peace message for Morbs that was geared towards ILXors. I never met Bill/Morbs (sadly), but have been following his health journey and it was just overwhelmingly sad to me last night.

I'm lucky that my husband understood what ILX was almost immediately. He even met some old ilxors in Seattle back in 2013.

xpost yeah I have a hard time describing ILX to people who don't already know it, as "message boards" in 2020 people either think you mean Reddit or like a Joe Bonnamassa phpBB fan-site which sees one new post every two weeks.
Huh, I didn't really think of it like that - it depends on who you know of course - a lot of people I know in the UK I know from ILX or Livejournal - but my wife (who's from neither) gets what I say when I say the death of someone from the boards hit me. I think it's people who understand that a messageboard about X will stop being about X nearly immediately.
I mean, I could say I'm from an online community, but that just sounds like FetLife.

One time when I was still attempting to learn Norwegian I was talking to a well-known Norwegian-American writer about her father’s grammar book- she was telling me he never lost his accent until the day he died- which seemed to make her better-known Francophile writer husband a bit jealous. He was a cinephile too, I used to see him around at screenings, although I never saw him and Morbius in the same room.

evan - i think about that festival a lot, was such a fun, amazing weekend, going to all these different bars and venues, meeting people from all over the world, seeing amazing music...i don't know, i guess you don't know what you have until it's gone, if things go back to "normal" i won't take those type of experiences for granted anymore.

Definitely feel the same! Such a nice festival. May I also add to that taking friends for granted. Was easier to be anti-social media when there were other ways to connect with people. 2020 means I am extra disconnected. ILX is at least some social interaction even if I'm not very good at it. I appreciate being able to tune in and get intelligent perspectives here.
...unless it's about what happened or is happening in the narrative of a TV drama, my god. From my experience in those threads ILX can't seem to follow a simple storyline or keep track of any characters. So, besides that!

Thank you, J Redd, that's nice of you to say even after I ignored or forgot so many photoshop requests. I think I became a much better ILXor years ago thanks to DJP, who once advised the young Rock Hardy: "Shut the fuck up."

one very strange side effect of the later trump years, the vortex of twitter, and the trapped/overstimulated feeling of lockdown (and about 18mos of grueling job stress in there too) is just forgetting to look at ilx. it seems like a nice place, still.

Another something nice about ILX in general, not any specific poster
This place has remained comparatively unblemished and more or less civil, with attentive modding and long institutional memory, in an internet social landscape that has gone through so many changes in the last 20 years. Migrations to and from various platforms have affected ILX but the forum continues to offer what it has always offered: text based chat. No avatars, no upvoting, no deleting or editing. I'm glad you're still here, borad.

Not being able to scrub one's own history is an inducement to more civil posting (I hope).

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 25 April 2022 20:19 (two years ago) link
edit buttons allow the OP to change what they originally said and make the respondent look like they overreacted unless they clearly show an edit was made and/or allow you to see what the original post said.
but even then lots of people read fast and don't notice a post that said "Edit" next to it, so people can see you overreact to your post and edit theirs to make you look unhinged and force you to explain "uhh that's not what it said originally, see where it says 'edit'?"

I like searching threads and seeing posts from ILXors from 2003 who I also see posting in the here and now. Mark S, noodle vague, Scott Seward, Raymond Cummings, Josh in Chicago, james redd, enbb, daniel_rf, trayce…. The list goes on and on sorry not going to name it all. It’s really something to have an internet space with this kind of longevity in the community, and as a silly young trotter myself, this place makes aging seem fun (yeah I know it’s probably not). This website is unique and I love seeing all your names fly off with takes and take downs. Lord knows I’ll be happy if I can keep anything going consistently in my life as long as some of you have been ilxors. Thanks for the lifetime of posts you’ve left to some of us

ftr all of my posts until like 2009 are bad and should feel bad, my initial run in with ILX was classic "kid who's used to thinking of himself as the smartest guy in the room is faced with reality" stuff
I do endorse the sentiment tho, what I particularly like is that whenever I get into a genre or rediscover an old artist I can search ILX and will almost always find a thread of heads breaking down the career trajectory and best releases.

One of the reasons that I like VegemiteGrrl so much is that she might be the only person I know who can write at length about Pearl Jam and make me enjoy reading about it. It's like some sort of miracle! But her fandom is so infectious and she really gets to the heart of why she likes something and as a result she almost makes me want to listen to Pearl Jam. That's the kind of writer I admire.

VG writes about things on the internet the way I would like to write about things on the internet. Like she has this voice that is completely her own and never sounds forced, and she always manages to hit off the complete essence of a thing and why she loves it and why we should love it in a few casual sentences while also being really funny.

doing that record show last weekend i just talked to byron coley all day and by the end of the day my voice was shot! mostly because he is deaf in one ear - i know right? now you know why he likes so much fucked up music. he doesn't know that its fucked up! - but also because i can just say ANYTHING to him. it just rolls right off of him. and same with people here. a rad bunch for sure. i don't talk to people much like that on the regular.

you guys are super nice thank you! Raymond you are always so nice to me. i really appreciate it. i do feel welcome here and i'll be honest i needed it. so, what i'm saying is, i am using you all. haha! not really. but i went away for awhile because i was not in a good place and i am in a better place now and better able to interact. i just worry about bugging people or blabbing too much. i feel like i do sometimes. like now!

scott seward is awesome and i love him so much. i can't engage with his posts so much these days because i just... i don't have much time for music, but i'll always love music, and i love how much scott loves music, and the way he expresses himself, and just, like. yeah, the vibe. the place feels brighter when he's around.

3 post ment but I've learned more about what it might mean to be a 'man' from posters like Kate, map, Alfred, gyac and left than from any other source I've read in the last ten years. Honestly, I want you dudes to write me a guidebook for gender and masculinity.

Sarahell, this pleases me since haunting people's thoughts is my primary goal in life.

― z_tbd, Sunday, 21 April 2024 19:33 (one month ago) link
omar little -- including various previous incarnations -- is an incredibly funny and solid poster, and of course the author of some all-timers
i don't support his sports fandoms but i respect them. he's always kind and circumspect when wading into awkward subject areas. also iirc there was an xzibit-themed photo of his kid that was astonishingly cute (although i understand why he took it down and also that kid is probably shaving by now)
i like him a lot.
― mookieproof, Monday, 22 April 2024 01:41 (one month ago) link
Otm, his posts only range from solid to great. No duds. An incredible obp guy who's good for a couple home runs a week with a few stolen bases litered in between

you're all too kind, i peaked on ILX sometime during the early part of the second obama administration and have been coasting on fumes ever since but it's very nice to hear.
mookie, you're a top poster and your fandom is admirably stubborn and will be worth the wait, and soon your team may also move from lovable to annoyingly competitive.
to show the passage of time w/r/t my kid, we're checking out high schools.
obv the rest of you are legendary posters and any positive feelings are mutual even though i've never met any of you IRL, though Ned I'm pretty sure i saw you at Amoeba once years ago when i was checking out and was going call out to you but you were pretty far away and likely it just would have been like--

Left has always been a wonderful poster and their recent posts in ILM on e.g. Joan Armatrading and Heaven is a Halfpipe make me wish i had time to read everything (sorry Left, I'm not sure what pronouns you prefer)
Camaraderie at Arm's Length has always been one of my favorite posters for the sensitivity and openness to experience reflected in his posts and listening habits and i wish that he posted more prolifically.
