Say something nice about another ILXor

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 ;)

Ned, been missing you on some other threads: Argentine Rock, Soda Stereo, karaoke set list. Did you stop reading every thread ever at some point?

I had to! The volume got too great years back.

Still, you had a very good run.

Sorry Ned, you’re so ubiquitous to ILX that I didn’t even think to mention you. You’re like the elder statesmen of this place, feels wrong to place you in the realm of mere posters like the rest of us

Hahah too kind. As long as DJP's posting here too it's not like I'm alone from the actual first day.

Did you two debut on the same day? I remember I used to think of you guys as The Two Imaginary Boys.

Sorry Ned, you’re so ubiquitous to ILX that I didn’t even think to mention you. You’re like the elder statesmen of this place, feels wrong to place you in the realm of mere posters like the rest of us

one of the more minor things i appreciate about the great-hearted and frequently otm poster calzino is his use of simple quotation marks where most of us apply bb code.

uh, yeah, 100%. it means the exact same thing and sooooo much easier 🤦‍♂️

Just saw HP's post. I think I first posted in 2006. I can't really think about how long ago that was because it fucks with my brain. Anyway, that was a sweet post. :)

Wait - it's 20 years ago in 3 years. Fuck.

the table is the table is a good table. i know we've bumped heads a few times in various threads, but i appreciate table's persistence in sticking with their point and often bringing up points i might not have considered, even if i don't always agree with them. anyway, just appreciating someone that doesn't just take drive-by swipes at other posters and seems genuinely interesting in a conversation.

I have been appreciating the calm, reflective posts of raymond cummings on heavy topics for some months now

i almost said "quietly" too, and i'm not sure why! but one of my first thoughts was "damn, i loved that defector piece Raymond quietly dropped a couple days ago"

Ray is awesome.

Excellent poster on both ILE and ILM!

Damn, thank you guys!!!! I didn’t have any idea about these posts until right now

(I should open this thread now and again, shouldn’t I? And I have some kudos to hand out to others as well.)

Also - thank you, H.P.

<3

LOVE RAY

Truth indeed!

darraghmac is one of the funniest motherfuckers on here.

Co-sign jimbeux. It’s hard to get away with comedic aloof detachment around these parts, but somehow darrghmac walks that tightrope like a pro

He always has been!

another post just to appreciate rob. i can see that gyac finally called him out just a month ago upthread. so it's 15 years too late but i'm trying to make up for it. i love rob's love of dancehall and soca. and he's really funny.

rob is the best

aw y’all are so kind! thank you so much, I’m really touched <3

I love u rob

tbf all the canadians are grebt iirc

granted that all canadian ilxors are grebt, but not those idiot canadian truckers who closed the USA-Canada border crossings about a year or so ago.

I love you too Alfred

Otm
