Go ILE, it's yr birthday...

― DG (D_To_The_G), Saturday, 7 June 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

HA! I thought it was three years!

I will pay a visit to Planet Greenspun, just for old times sake.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 7 June 2003 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

ha! I was looking at the Michael Jackson forum, and it went to the server busy message! Just like old times.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 7 June 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Two years of madness and mayhem!

And as DG recalls, initially I was down on the prospect... ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 7 June 2003 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Good god. This place has eaten almost two and a half years of my life. I also was wary of the split but it's been useful--now we can attract music-specific and general-interest trolls!

ILE celebratory birthday picnic, anyone?

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 7 June 2003 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

without ILE (and ILM) I'd be brain dead or one productive dude during work. Since the benefit of its absence would not be worth the risk of cerebral damage, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo grateful this place exists.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 7 June 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

someone ought to get a picture of the ILXor server with a birthday hat on it and a birthday cake

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 7 June 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, happy birthday, inanimate object created by a collection of animate objects whose individual birthdays are not on this day (except maybe one or two, to be wished warm wishes on a separate thread) (offer void where prohibited) (sorry Tennessee!)!

― Chris P (Chris P), Saturday, 7 June 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Hoppy boitday, ILE! I had no idea this was so young -- I thought it'd be going on for ages! Oh well. I come bearing a modest gift:

Tell me if you like this, chickadees.

Many thanks to the awesome people responsible for this forum. This is the only forum I've gone to that's managed to not only pull a few posts from me but has actually pulled me in for the long term. Amazing!

Millar, yr raining on the party!

― lyra (lyra), Sunday, 8 June 2003 02:21 (twenty-two years ago)

oh my god triple birthday extravaganza!! someone summon ma$e!!

― geeta (geeta), Sunday, 8 June 2003 02:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Millar needs to take the birthday spankings on this once, since he's exhibiting such a prickly and non-friendly attitude toward the joyous celebration. Anyone second the motion?

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 8 June 2003 03:01 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, I took an ILE birthday stroll down memory lane into that Michael Jackson forum...deep calling to deep over there 24/7

YAY!

I've been on ILX for just a couple of months shy of two years now. I've taken breaks, I've changed handles, but everyone who knows knows that Sam shows love.

Those of you who *do* know, know how much I LOVE YOU. This place has been my distraction, my amusement, my waste of time, and my full support more often than I can account for. This community rules the fuckin' hiz-zouz. I love all you guys.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Sunday, 8 June 2003 08:39 (twenty-two years ago)

good god i've been addicted to the internet for two years now.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 8 June 2003 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been addicted to the internet for almost 6 years! eek!

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 8 June 2003 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Junked out on the Internet for 14 years now.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Sunday, 8 June 2003 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I have heard of this Internet. (11 years or so for me)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 June 2003 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

11 years or so for me too. Changed a bit hasn't it?

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 8 June 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember when the internet were all sheep in fields and you could get a porn site subscription and a fish supper and still have change for tuppence three farthings.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 8 June 2003 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I HAVE BEEN ABSORBED < / archon lawgiver voice>

No, you've been Neducated.

― j.lu (j.lu), Sunday, 8 June 2003 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I need to patent that process.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 June 2003 22:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh, ILE marks the start of the internet for me, what an odd point of reference.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 8 June 2003 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

[insert verse rhyming "Bacardi" and "party"]

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

ILE has the same birthday as Mark S. and Traitor Hand? Why have I never noticed this before?

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Merci for a place where mentalism is the norm: the more odd you are, the better!

ILM is almost four years old and if you were around for the start of that, then the age factor seems ALL THE MORE AMAZING.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 June 2004 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Ho-hoooo, "and if you were around for the START of that..."

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 7 June 2004 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey! You quarrelsome infant.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 June 2004 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

May you party into your 80s omgwtf.

― Crickets Dance On Tequila Booty (Barima), Monday, 7 June 2004 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I think what Ned's trying to say is that he invented the Internet.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 7 June 2004 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

he didn't?

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 7 June 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I did that with MY MIND.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 June 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned in Lawnmower Man SHOCKA!

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

no way, ILE.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

yay no more terrible twos!

― oops (Oops), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Three year olds are even more unruly and detestable.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

ME ME ME ME ME

yeah but hopefully you can get them to shit in the designated area

― oops (Oops), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

We've tried with C***m and yet.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

They can't be paper trained, Ned.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Diablo, just wait til they hit four, and REALLY start to run off at the mouth.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Kids just get worse and worse the older they get.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 7 June 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

They can't be paper trained, Ned.

But oh, the dream.

Aw, hacky sacky, ILE!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 7 June 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Throwing hacky sacks at ile may be the only acceptable use for a hacky sack.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 7 June 2004 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Lead hacky sacks make excellent gifts for nu-hippies.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 7 June 2004 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm just waiting for ile to be old enough to send away to military school; it can come back to visit for holidays, but the rest of the time is kept well out of sight.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 7 June 2004 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Shit, I just realized I've been around here a lot longer than I thought. I think my first post to ILE was Nov. 2002? Sweet Jesus, I have nothing left to offer.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 7 June 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't say that!

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 7 June 2004 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Wot Nicole said.

Did anyone actually remember ILE's birthday this year?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

OLYMPIAD!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

I try and feel the sunshine
You bring the rain
You try and hold me down
With your complaints
You cry and moan and complain
You whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow
The touch you bring
You just don't step inside to 4 years
So hard to keep my own head... that's what I say
You know...I've been the beggar...
I've played the thief
I was the dog...they all tried to beat

But it's been
4 years of silence
It's been
4 years of pain
It's been
4 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

Your stupid girlfriends tell you
That I'm to blame
Well they're all used-up has-beens
Out of the game
This time I'll have the last word
You hear what I say
I tried to see it your way
It won't work today
You just don't step inside to 4 years
So hard to keep my own head...that's what I say
You know...I've been the dealer...
Hangin' on your street
I was the dog...they all tried to beat

But it's been
4 years of silence
It's been
4 years of pain
It's been
4 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

Bullshit and contemplation
Gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth
What would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern
It's time to play
These last 4 years of madness
Sure put me straight
Don't get back 4 years
In just one day
So hard to keep my own head
Just go away
You know...just like a hooker she said
Nothin's for free
Oh I tried to see it your way
I tried to see it your way

wtf this wasn't revived?

FIVE YEARS

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 15 June 2006 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

This is our fifth year baby
And I feel like I'm in jail, Lord
I'm holding on to this card
Can't seem to get it in the mail
And the card reads ...

Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
