Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

Followed by the blossoming studentgaze movement.

you weren't.

"skot is a legendary shitposter and also did not challenge the hoi polloi"

wait, am i really shitty? isn't that like people on 4chan posting pictures of dead bodies or something? maybe i'm just too prolific. i don't know about the hoi polloi.

i did post a lot of pictures back in the day. sorry. i was excitable! man, i had a lot going on back then.

tbf you did use to flood threads with images that you didn't like. I assume that iswhat the poster refers to?

weirdly i used to think i was defending ilx by doing that when some random asshole would be an asshole on a thread. random googlers! i was trying to defend the poptimist castle! but i realize how annoying i could be. i just hate the word shit so much. it makes me think of shit.

defending ilm from stupid asshole posts was a noble gesture but sadly here we are in 2023

I had hoped that post was meant as a compliment of some sort. Now I am not so sure.

eh, its okay. i know i'm not for everybody. who is? well, ned, i guess. but i'd like to think i've toned things down a bit. i kinda just want to stick to my 80s thread on ilm now. its a good spot to park myself. someone compared me to bimble on there! ah, bimble.
i just came back to chat, really. and i missed the folks here. i can't talk to anyone else on the internet. everyone is so slow. here the brains still work a little. i don't mean any harm though. i don't defend castles anymore.

I do think that post was meant as a compliment but anyway scott ilx is richer for having you along

i enjoyed how scott's poll had only 15% spotify coverage

I wept because I had no shoes until I met a person who had no feet.

Did you ask him for his shoes?

hello and welcome to the Steve Hoffman Audio forums

Did you ask him for his shoes?

I wept because I had no shoes until I met a person who had no feet.

i was watching a documentary on lon chaney and they talked about the getup chaney used to convincingly pass as someone who had both legs amputated and my girlfriend asked if i was watching a film about kink. then the doco talked about how chaney did "the hunchback of notre dame" and she didn't believe me when i said i wasn't watching a film about kink.

the point is that i don't get that aphorism. not just because there's no use crying over lost feet, but because there are all kinds of reasons people lose their feet. i mean, most of those reasons are tragic, but maybe the person in question had apotemnophilia. i'm not gonna judge.

tbf you did use to flood threads with images that you didn't like. I assume that iswhat the poster refers to?

I think it was more like he flooded threads he didn't like with images.

Anyway, the skot seward image bomb was a classic bit.

How can I say this? Skot is a classic old school ILX0r who was here for quite a while before I got here. There might be quite a few areas where I don’t see eye-to-eye with him tastewise, but not always. I really value his contribution on things where we do overlap and on other things I might not have known about without him. I feel similarly to him as I do about unperson.

skot rules been great to have him back

otm

I feel like I should be making student loan payments on the education skot has dispensed over the years, all-time MVP

otm

ya agreed

Totally, he's pointed me in the direction of some great stuff over the years!

great skot

Surely by being a shit poster you challenge the hoi polloi?

i like where this is headed. like being at my own funeral.

i just don't want to be like that old t.v. show you used to watch and then you see it again after years and you're like "was this ever really very good?". you know?

i'll stick with my strengths.

unperson, though? sick burn! hahaha! kidding. me and him are cool.

Yeah, I felt bad for you for a minute there, since I am apparently ILX's cranky right-wing grandpa now.

Glad I could bring ILX together on this matter.

i like scott because he's heard of a shitton of music i haven't

this is very valuable to me

*backslaps scott* "NICE, KEEP UP THAT POSTING, EH?" *lurches into party background*

jk i don't backslap.

🤷‍♂️

exactly.

i also started *I Love Books* 20 years ago! Would a shitposter do something like that? i think not.

backslaps in motion

i THINK i started *I Love Vinyl*...it must have been me. kinda dead there now. but it's there.

I stopped going to specific boards here a long time ago, always weird to hear references to ilm specifically or something... it’s all one place via “site new answers” for me. If I actually start a thread I’ll pay attention to where it belongs but that’s it.

Right, it used to be a lot more important

Still some threads bear the stigma of their original borad. Talking to you, I Love Film!

iltrmb i miss ya ha.

long after erone is back in cars trains or like ebikes or personal drones, i’ll rep. maybe y’all do too, but it’s so dead there.

oh no

that is not at all what i meant re: skot

he is one of my absolutely favorite posters and i missed him over the last several years!

my bad for posting drunk (although that's not likely to stop me in the future)

anyway: i love you skot (and also i'm sorry that you & your wife are no longer running that radio station on the vinyard)

no problem. love you too. in the future i would like to be referred to as "once-prolific image-bomber" though.

and ironically i was JUST thinking last night about how drunk i used to be on ilx. i used to drink a lot. i can remember late at night covering one eye just so i could read ilx. i would search painstakingly for individual letters on the keyboard just to post something stupid. it could take hours!

i stopped getting drunk about 5 years ago though when i started my long painful non-smoking journey. and stopped drinking entirely last summer.

but i am all for drunk posting. drink and post away!

my non-smoking sorta coincided with me not being here. i wanted to die for about two years straight. it was ugly. but allswellthatendswell.

look man we dont refer to ted kaczynski as the once prolific unabomber and we have to be fair

Happy or goofy drunk posters are great, the rest not so much

I’m sure there’s some good content on Gab too what’s your point

I'm beggin' of you please don't take my thread

lord help us the thought that *that* was the bar has me in stitches and i do mean actual laughs out loud

It really says something about masculinity more than political purity

#ilxhack: post a bad-faith polar distinction between two tweets that essentially express two parts of the same sentiment (distaste, followed by defiance) and, hours later, ILE will still be dancing to your little tune

Haha I should have guessed who was responsible but I didn’t bother opening the thread
