Say something nice about another ILXor

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.

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

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.

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"

― sarahell, Thursday, 22 October 2020 15:15 (thirty minutes ago)

So true. I did a double take when I saw jbl's screenname.

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

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Thursday, 22 October 2020 16:00 (three years ago) link

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.

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 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.

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.

emil.y, Thursday, 22 October 2020 17:07 (three years ago) link

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

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

I get nostalgic for the greenspun goats.

Kim, Thursday, 22 October 2020 17:14 (three years ago) link

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?

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.

i got an idea, maybe an island in the caribbean where we build luxury tents and get a famous caterer, and ja rule is part of it for no reason at all

superdeep borehole (harbl), Thursday, 22 October 2020 17:27 (three years ago) link

but with a little bit of fyre festival mixed in too, because who among us is actually going to take care of logistics, not me
