Say something nice about another ILXor

When in a conversation irl I refer to ILX, it is so weird and hard to sum up this place in a short way that captures the outsize impact this place has had on me. "Message board where I learn about everything" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

I'm really glad silby is back

It was/is really nice to see so many departed ILXors return to pay tribute to Morbz ... it's like a "very special episode of ILX"

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 think the only ILXor I met irl was bamcquern.

was supposed to meet NYCNative this year but the festival got cancelled (hopefully next year)?

xxxpost otm sarahell, that was heartwarming

I describe ilx as a “music messageboard I used to post to”

-Gotye

i miss ally and tza, wish they were back under better circumstances

I think the only ILXor I met irl was bamcquern.

he said you were a rad dude, Neando

xpost hadrian, i'm sorry to hear about your uncle. that's a lot of loss in the span of 2 days. :(

My condolences, Hadrian.

Yeah, i think I learned to be an adult here.

Me too, strange as that sounds. I think I've had to learn it a bunch of times.

i told her a friend of mine died.
This is the correct answer.

Sometimes I look back at what I was like when I first started posting here and shudder. I was 29, for heaven's sakes, and still had a lot of growing up to do.

xxxp thank you guys

I am planning to get the ILX logo tattooed on me sometime before I die.

you know, i've never gotten a tattoo because i can never think of something that i'm sure i won't hate in 5 or 20 years. but i'm pretty sure i won't hate ilx in 5 or 20 years.

it's kinda cool looking

I'd consider another ilx tattoo but I already have the photo from the "so not gonna happen" on my lower back.

I had my face surgically altered into Hunter Age 3.

I have a 7 on each ass cheek.

The only people I've ever met irl from ilx, from the old chilxor crew, all seem to have disappeared or post v v v v v v v infrequently (except Josh). I see their updates on other social media so I know they seem to be doing well, but I do miss that connection. I still feel like I float around the periphery of ilx even though I've been here on and off for 15 years or so.

I got ILX tattoed on my butt. Well just LX, i have an inherent I

I had my face surgically altered into Hunter Age 3.

I tried to have my face turned into a heart, but failed. Shoulda known.

xxxpost Yeah, the only ILXors I've met in person are long-gone ILXors of old. Feeling more urgently the need to change that. We should do a Chicago Metro FAP once the plague has run its course in 2024 or so.

lol, km, beautiful

KM that is heroic, thank u

I miss the listening room crews, even though I did end up accidentally staying in them until 7am too often and it was v bad for my health.

I also miss being able to see Matt and NickB and Col. Poo irl. A top bunch of lads.

sobbing at the thought of 2024, but yes i think a nu-chilxor FAP is in order post plague

i mean, that one is preferable to wallogina

lol, so many ILX memez. isn't there a thread for "ILX catchphrases you repeat to yourself"?

snorg snorg snorg my day is ruined

I get nostalgic for the greenspun goats.

feels weird that the only ILX'rs i have met was on a mad work trip to chicgao many many years ago (2010! bloody hell).
in 20 years here i have never knowingly met any of the UK crew other than Doran, but he is no longer involved here and i know him via playlouder as opposed to ILx.
also, very sad news re Dr Morb.
i only really know of him via the chaos he caused on the politics thread, but still ...
as per the other thread, and it has been a long time since i had the need to say this : fuck cancer.

ok, this is for real. give me your honest opinion, what do you think?

thank you to YMP for the butt concepts

karl what happened to your genitals??

that was the closest reference image i could find for my chiseled, athletic body

well, i knew this would come up, but i didn't think it would happen so fast. sigh.

let's just say the lawnmower got them

Xxp

*snif* and I feared I might leave this world without a lasting legacy

My legacy will be "butt concepts".

i'm like dying laughing at that ilx leg/butt tattoo mockup

tats look amazing though

Impressive physique so many years after your NBA retirement.

One time way back, like 2002 or something, I remember saying to Tom Ewing that we should have a global meet-up. Like everybody pitch in to rent a huge house somewhere for four days. It was probably in my head but I remember his reaction being something like baffled pity.

calves look like they have their own butts

Of course Karl’s AI legs would be the bouncer
