Jordan's work in the re-re-reconstructed club threads is exceptional and has turned me on to so much new and exciting music

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.

Bee OK's love of music is inspiring. I'm not at all a Daft Punk fan, but the way that poll was done was inspiring.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 25 April 2022 19:57 (two years ago) link
And I used "inspiring" twice. Oh, for an edit button.

NEVER!!!

jimbeaux you seem nice and new? I'm glad you're here, yay for good new posters
― thinkmanship (sleeve), Monday, 25 April 2022 20:06 (two years ago) link
Well, thanks.
I am sure there are historical reasons for no edit button, I'm just unaware of them.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 25 April 2022 20:07 (two years ago) link
Not being able to scrub one's own history is an inducement to more civil posting (I hope).
― Everybody Loves Ramen (WmC), Monday, 25 April 2022 20:17 (two years ago) link
Makes sense. I suppose the occasional poorly worded post is a small price to pay.
― 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'?"

Lol nice to see you too and then realize I thought I posted this in the Twitter thread.
Edit?!!!

If it means Hoos being back for good silver lining

LL otm I appreciate this place a great deal despite not posting a lot and getting all messy sometimes
― brimstead, Monday, 25 April 2022 22:02 (two years ago) link
it would be nice to have a hoos back here

don't know who hoos is, but I like you being here table
― Dan S, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 01:48 (two years ago) link
hoos? it was said of James Bond that he was the one all women want to be with and all men want to be. ofc, no one would think to compare hoos to James Bond. no real resemblance. but he was a standout contributor to ilx and remains much loved in memory. you may search his posts under: BIG HOOS aka the steendriver
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Tuesday, 26 April 2022 01:57 (two years ago) link
hoos, when we finally meet, I'll hit on you for the sake of Christendom and ILX.

Songs where it's fun to say HOOS in place of the actual lyrics
HOOS are you

to this day, i believe the Who song "Who Are You?" is "Hoos are you? Hoo Hoo - Hoo, Hoo!" is about big hoos aka the steendriver

This is a thread that is literally about liking posters
There are a zillion threads that are about other topics
― Fifty Centaur (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 26 April 2022 02:34 (two years ago) link
sorry
― Dan S, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 02:37 (two years ago) link
Seems to me this is a perfectly good place to say "I miss big hoos aka the steendriver"
And a weird place to disparage the sentiment "I miss big hoos aka the steendriver"
― Fifty Centaur (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 26 April 2022 02:38 (two years ago) link
I see that you all miss them, so I'm sorry
― Dan S, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 02:42 (two years ago) link
you’d cry for hoos too if it happened to you
― estela, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 03:25 (two years ago) link
I never heard it before, but I thought about it for three seconds and figured it out.

I like a lot of posters on this board, including you Aimless, I'm always interested to read what you have to say. Just thought brimstead's comment was demeaning
― Dan S, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:07 (two years ago) link
lol you just seemed like you were being a jerk to hoos or were mad that we were talking about him but I’m sorry Dan s
― brimstead, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:22 (two years ago) link
Even though I've scaled back on my posting in recent weeks, it makes me happy to see Neanderthal back around again.
And credit to Bee OK to always having a lot of enthusiasm, even when I don't share the target of said enthusiasm.
