Say something nice about another ILXor

otm. i read a bit of the thread and found it interesting but whatever.

sorry for threatening to leave, it’s really silly behavior i’m guilty of often, i was just upset

I don't know most ilx posters at all but recently I've quite enjoyed reading the posts by poster Grandpoint Genie.

That thread could very easily have gone totally fucking insane very fast, but instead, everyone posting has made thoughtful and substantive contributions despite clear and vehement disagreements. Good work by kate, Brad, ufo, paolo, table and everyone else. It's a model for the rest of ILX to follow, honestly.

i've been entertained lately by ashley pomeroy's digressive miniatures

thank you for not leaving. it's a difficult and hard thing for me to talk about!

I love y'all.

A lot of love for Brad (I, uh, am not sure I've noticed ufo, but I am very bad at noticing names)

ufo’s equanimity and imminent reasonableness is yin to the yang of bradnelson gleeful hyperbole

both ilm mvps ofc

I love y'all.

Oscar Bravo is a great poster and should come to London FAP next year

wow that is so very nice of you gyac and v much appreciated.

I greatly enjoy Zach TBD’s poetry and hope to see more when the time is right.
Also I get a blast when I see my fellow Aussies post, you know who you are and I am afraid to make a list because it will accidentally omit someone good.

I wish more of us still did! I miss the days we had the huge crew with Gaz and Moley and all us Melb mongs. I saw ESOJ and Haitch at my birthday in March but otherwise havent seen any of youse in forever.

xp that is very kind matttkkkk, i really appreciate it, thank you <3

clemenza gave me some very thoughtful and helpful advice recently. thank you, clemenza. it was a wonderful gift in the sense that i didn't know how much i needed it. thank you.

i greatly appreciate ilxor wins' advent posts on social media ... it really helps get me in the holiday spirit and reminds me of the good auld days of ILAFL

otm

Aw cheers mates

Shitty life stuff meant I didn’t keep up with it this year & had to do half of advent in one go (coincidentally I did the same with my chocolate advent calendar)

Definitely, ufo is really smart and underrated in general imo

not that it means anything coming from me, but i think Evan and Andy the Grasshopper are two of the most consistently hilarious ilxors. underrated.

zach_tbd IS A POSTER!

aw thanks! xp

cheers!

love zach!

I like searching threads and seeing posts from ILXors from 2003 who I also see posting in the here and now. Mark S, noodle vague, Scott Seward, Raymond Cummings, Josh in Chicago, james redd, enbb, daniel_rf, trayce…. The list goes on and on sorry not going to name it all. It’s really something to have an internet space with this kind of longevity in the community, and as a silly young trotter myself, this place makes aging seem fun (yeah I know it’s probably not). This website is unique and I love seeing all your names fly off with takes and take downs. Lord knows I’ll be happy if I can keep anything going consistently in my life as long as some of you have been ilxors. Thanks for the lifetime of posts you’ve left to some of us

Rob is always smart and level headed af

Have grown to appreciate Steve Shasta

ftr all of my posts until like 2009 are bad and should feel bad, my initial run in with ILX was classic "kid who's used to thinking of himself as the smartest guy in the room is faced with reality" stuff

I do endorse the sentiment tho, what I particularly like is that whenever I get into a genre or rediscover an old artist I can search ILX and will almost always find a thread of heads breaking down the career trajectory and best releases.

i'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me, and that's ok

And here is why

For the love of God, Montresor

thank you so much gyac, that really means a lot to me!

Lol YMP

Also, I first got here in late 2004 and only later became JR&tB but I appreciate being included in such august company.

wait who were you before that nick? JR&tB is such an iconic dn for ilx that it's hard to believe you were something else previously!

yeah, I can't imagine James behind another name.

Wait, is JR&tB a nick? I was inactive for a few years but I thought he was the poster previously known as k/l lolol

think he meant nickname

lol indeed.

NO MORE NICKS ALLOWED WE HAVE TOO MANY NICKS

In the Beforetimes I was a troll known as Ricardo.

James Redd's commitment to regularly changing his screen name is impressive

I used to change mine all the time, but Stoop Crone feels like me yanno?

Thanks, but commitment is not quite the word for it. A more appropriate word would be, would be....hmm.

It's a very cool post from H.P. there to start off the revive but I admit I'm a little verklempt I wasn't among those directly named. :-D (This says more about me than H.P.)

Clearly he was bewitched by Ricardo the Troll ;)
