― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK, fair enough, F. I have no idea who I was picking on; is he some kind of ILX mascot or something?

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

More of a bogeyman.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

― Vic (Vic), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 17:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ha ha, I haven't earned the right to categorize Ptee, but it's not like he's a multimational mogul or anything.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 17:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

He's not?

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 17:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Arrghh.... Apologies for the name confusion Rosemary.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Since Rosemary isn't your real name anyway, can I call you Parsley?)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

marjoram

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 08:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

shut it mascot

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 08:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

someone might wanna give kate a hand or some medication or company or something on Uglification and Derision

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 08:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, that's OK, me and Jason are just fine by ourselves.

they lopped off his head!

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 08:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dammit, could some kind moderator kindly fix the Alex James image on this thread by putting in the I? Cheers...

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 09:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

That would be THIS thread:

Uglification and Derision

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 10:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

check

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 10:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mwah! Mwah! I kiss you!

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 10:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Could someone resize or remove the really huge picture I posted on the robot thread? I didn't know it would turn out so big.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 11:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Okay, moderating out the giant Tom Selleck pic on the Threadkillah! thread was completely unnecessary IMO.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

it crashed my machine dan and i'm using broadband

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

ok now dada is posting photos to every single new thread. this is going to cause major problems for those of us with slow connections. it was funny for a few hours.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

it was an embed obliterating the entire thread: ie same as if you or i had locked it to "win"

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

The problem is that Dada is doing something really interesting (I mean, not every post is golden, but overall...) and yet it's formally irksome to... um, to those who have slow connections and can't be arsed to change their setting to "turn images into links", I guess. Does that setting not work or something?

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 10 July 2003 05:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

no offense to either party, but the Dada stuff reminds alot of Custos in rimshot mode

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 10 July 2003 05:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chris, I don't want to turn that setting on b/c the average ILx user does not abuse photo posting to warrant this. Why should I miss out on everyone else's photos b/c Dada is completely overkill?

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 10 July 2003 06:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

but you don't really miss out, you can view any photos you want to by clicking on them. at least has merit as a temporary solution

― ron (ron), Thursday, 10 July 2003 06:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

But how do you know which ones you want to click on??

Many of us occasionally post pics that add to the goodness of a thread. I don't want to be forced to miss out on this occasional pleasant surprise b/c some asshole can't think of anything else to do.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 10 July 2003 06:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

don't get me wrong i totally know where yr coming from. as chris points out, dada occasionally posts pics that add to the goodness of threads. (though i'd say the nature of the gimmick will make that less and less the case with each post)

― ron (ron), Thursday, 10 July 2003 06:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

have the brains around here or the isp investigators, etc finally figured out who this person is yet ? ned?

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah I've had to change my settings to 'turn images into links' which I suppose is no big deal but I feel a little sore about it. I liked seeing the odd picture come up.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

As Dada is a very new poster, initially there is going to be a huge burst of activity. Probably s/he will settle down into a more regular pattern of posting that will be managable and acceptible to other posters. Give him/her some time, and if this continues to be a problem, then I think we should address it.

Because I've generally been quite pleased with Dada's occasional contributions.

― kate (kate), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can someone tell me if "Did anybody else cry at the end of the 25th hour?" has 24 spoilers in it?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 10 July 2003 10:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

No I surmise that thread's about a cinema film called the 25th Hour.

My understanding of 24 is that a 25th hour would rather spoil the concept. But maybe you were asking about the specific number of "25th Hour" spoilers there are in that thread, in which case the answer is still no, but may be yes later.

I am not a moderator but am happy to provide this service.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 10 July 2003 10:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

My feeling on dada is that some of the pics are good contributions, and as someone on a dial-up at home, it's not even the frequency of them that's a problem - it's that some of them are really colossal, like hundreds of times the size of regular pics. I don't want pics that take half an hour to download. Plus the instance on the Threadkiller thread, which was just abusive. If those small-minority cases were eliminated, I would have no problems - though I'd happily live without most of the pics, many of which make no real contribution and aren't intrinsically interesting.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 10 July 2003 10:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

If the ISP is any indication, Dada is a completely new poster. Beyond that, nothing is known.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 July 2003 14:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

sigh, mark - "someone"'s whining you're a nazi again

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

And this time in ALL CAPS!!!! Oh joy.

― kate (kate), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think it is his way of saying Mark S. is sexxxy.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Songs about women that think they're sensitive/caring but are actually skeevy/misogynist/sexist was a thread that I was waiting to be ruined by him for a long time...

― kate (kate), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

man, ilx moderators ain't nothing to fuck with!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

congrats congrats I am in awe

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

kate - open sesame!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

meanwhile, ilx moderators: engage!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Is that what that was about? Ah dearie me.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah, he's posting all over all kinds a threads now - see here.

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

(I would like to opine that if the original thread had been left alone rather than deleted, the progressively uglier ones wouldn't have happened.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

so what now?

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

(they haven't gotten progressively uglier have they?)(I didn't see the original - too fast for me! - but the successors have been identical no?)

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

they looked pretty identical to me

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 11 July 2003 14:51 (twenty-one years ago) link
