Say something nice about another ILXor

agreed!

otm

Bring back gaz/mullygrubber!

Electricsound I very occasionally see post on FB (along with Haitch). Also verty verrrry occasionally see moley (in his IRL incarnation). Gaz sadly I have no idea :(

I always wanted to know what happened to SuperCarit.

Also lol @ me forgetting to mention estela and pato, my bad :(

where's thelema about these days or mr. xolotl

mr. xolotl is doing quite well he just doesn't post here anymore

Ive never heard of either of those people! :\ Are they ILMers

i used to speak with xolotl on @forumz

he has great musical taste

Was floating through blade runner thread and got to a post that at first glance seemed epitome of tldr and scrolled down and saw it was by j. so I bookmarked it instead and I'll read it over a cuppa later

qualx is a thoughtful and good poster whom I would love to meet and play videogames with

<3

la lechera does good posts, smart and insightful. always appreciate the respite from rolling my eyes when i'm reading thru a thread.

LL is one of my favorite ppl full stop

^ LL's the bomb

yep

tombot is always otmbot

LL rules.

Great drummer, too.

she is v wise and a great poster

LL rocks

yes, totes

LL totes rocks.

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.

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!

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...

co-sign on all of that. i have perma-cringe at some of the things i've said here, but at least i'm aware of it, and it's something i actively think about in my day-to-day life now.

co-co-sign, genuinely

la lechera and vg’s posts have given me sustenance in these ugly and harrowing times. i’ve been appreciating them both very much.

In Orbit should have a radio show or something, I have learned so much from her postings

bonus: she has a ridiculously mellifluous speaking voice
she'd be great on the radio!

LL is great, it's true. Also, gets bonus points for use of "mellifluous".

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.

i too think LL is great and wish she would be my friend again even though i was an asshole

scott your contributions here have always been solid, always enjoy what you have to say

oh clouds -- i don't know what happened honestly.
you know where to find me! i'm definitely still around.

scott once you helped me find yoshi wada and i will be forever grateful.

i was there for the scott endless youtubes era

high in my bed at 4 am listening to 70s prog choons with 37 views. i was there

'harvey pooter got ated by a dumblydood'

Doctor Casino has put an impressive amount of time and care into the Joel thread. Though some posters have been dismissive and/or contemptuous of this project, it has brought joy into the lives of many others.

aww, thanks <3

Hereby seconded - what a lot of fun and fascination.

Cheers DC

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).

If the internet is good at all it’s that it brings people together to do nice things for each other just ‘cause

so many things in ILM year-end polls that i think i hate and then BradNelson says something enthusiastic about it and then i think "ok lemme see here what this is about"

truth

A fine beacon.

Indeed he is.

bradnelson <3 pile-on

i love the way that he loves music

omg y'all <3
