BOLLOX TO IT!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 25 July 2003 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish to be sober ASAP.

― RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 25 July 2003 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm far too overcome with emotion *sobs uncontrollably* to think of any last wishes.

― C J (C J), Friday, 25 July 2003 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate you all.

(I would quote Pia Zadora from the Lonely Lady, when she won the oscar, but I don't want to steal Ally's thunder.)

― doom-e, Friday, 25 July 2003 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Excellent. I can finally get some work done.

― robster (robster), Friday, 25 July 2003 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going out to enjoy the sun. Bye.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 25 July 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

You see what's gonna happen? *shakes head*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 25 July 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I- I guess *sniff* now we'll never know what the Top 10 *sob* Stephen Malkmus songs really were *choke*

Erm, this is the real last thread ever, right? Right?

I will feel very silly if this turns out not to be the case.

Sorry Sarah - word came through from the lizard home cluster this morning.

This is a bit like when in primary school you go up to other kids in the playground and tell them that the police have just come to the school and said their parents are both dead.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 25 July 2003 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Matt it's hardly my fault that Earth has been declared unsuitable for domination!

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 25 July 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Or that his parents are dead.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 25 July 2003 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, this isn't the last one cos I just started one on ILM...

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:02 (twenty-two years ago)

― barney s (mark s), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:05 (twenty-two years ago)

HA. I spit in the face of death. Baltimore FAP happens whether you like it or not. Us pally bastards will go and recompile on my friend Luke's hosting account!! We'll never tell you where it is!! It'll be our little cliquey Amerikaner invite-only room where we can be TOTALLY TWEE AND STUPID and the rest of you can just act miserable with no outlet for yr daily frustrations at work. I say again HA.

Yes this thread is a joke, but it does mask a serious problem as refered to on the ilx Admin thread that some of us are badgering away at solving. This is not the last thread - but some time in the next three months there may well be a last thread, and we are desperately trying to make sure that there is at least a life raft we can jump to.

We have found another system and site who would be willing to help us out but they have said we can only have a maximum of 100 posters at any one time. There are ways and means around this (time shifting etc etc - and the 100 seems a bit arbitrary) but can people express interest if they would be interested in being included in this 100.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I kill you with guns, ok?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

''There are ways and means around this (time shifting etc etc - and the 100 seems a bit arbitrary) but can people express interest if they would be interested in being included in this 100.''

that would be a negative. I think there are abt 100 regular posters but plenty of lurkers and really good contributors who never make it onto the top 50. not a good idea.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i just shit my pants.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

As I said its just something we are considering at the moment. The problem with open access is thatits very easy to hack into the server - which mans that 90% of it is used to host all sorts ofnon-ilx stuff (hidden in the system as "the invisible ilx pages" - three quarters we think are probably adjuncts or mirror porn sites. You can see why Adrew isn't keen on that.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)

How does that work, then? Surely there's some way to stop it?

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 25 July 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Some of the finest computer minds of our generation have been on it for the last couple of months. They thought it would be peasy - but the finer minds of our generation all work for porn sites it would appear.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

and can you blame 'em? its where the money is!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

There are ways and means around this (time shifting etc etc - and the 100 seems a bit arbitrary) but can people express interest if they would be interested in being included in this 100.

Yeah, this sounds like a great idea. Will the 100 coolest posters please step forward?

i wanted to say fremme neppa venette as my farewell sentence, but fortunately enough i kept reading this thread until the end.

Dear ile, I am retiring the phrase "hip hip hooray for you, on your magical birthing day", just thought I'd let you know. I guess it's lost it's appeal for me to post on every single birthday thread. I guess it's time for new directions.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 25 July 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I will miss it Jel. :(

― Larcole (Nicole), Friday, 25 July 2003 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I will have an angry phase now.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 25 July 2003 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

So some part of ILX did die here today :(

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 25 July 2003 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Nice! I just saw the "JEL BAR" car again!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 July 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

but you know, not that angry :)

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 25 July 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I need to post less anyway, I can't believe how seriously I took all the ILX to close business. I've been feeling kind of low, and annoyed at myself about coming home from work, and not really reading any threads and just posting nonsense and flooding AIM chats with my irrelevance's. So, I will calm things down a bit, and see some of you at Trig Bro next week.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 25 July 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

jel, you can just go "hip hip hooray for you, on your magical birthing day, fucko," and satisfy both tradition and anger. That way everyone's happy!

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I always preferred the 'Hi! We're Poison" etc. wishes anyway. You're not retiring those are you?

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 25 July 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I came back from a week of no internet access (a dispute with my provider) and the first thread I opened up was this. Dammit, will you all stop scaring me like that! :-)

Ricardo has brought down the tone of ilx, it was such a lovely place before he started posting here! :(

It was a moment of high stress. I thought we were all about to die or something.

I don't mean that like "Oh, you never say anything interesting Mark", I was just imagining that some great insight was now lost. Sorry if it seems harsh (it did to me, rereeding it).

one year passes...

Indeed.

If anyone wants to keep in touch with me, just go to a certain popular profile hosting site, and search for "macro" but put a k in between the c and r.

IN CASE this is it, well.. garsh... it's been five years here. Honestly, this site has changed my life, as it allowed me to meet so many people from afar during my travels. Thanks to all of you, and thank you to COLLEGE RADIO! George W. Bush doesn't care about ILXORs.

In case the site moves elsewhere and keeps on...

The legend of Ricardo may live on, but the real threat is Ricardão

― Ruud Haarvest (Ken L), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

If ilx should close and reopen elsewhere under a new guise, I'd be very grateful if someone could drop me a line to my hotmail address below to let me know where the new home is. I'm not always around all that often and fall out of the loop sometimes - but I really would be sad to lose touch with this altogether.

Thanks. :)

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 12:46 (nineteen years ago)

I heard a rumour that Ricardo was Nicole all along AND that some people knew that but that the whole thing was hushed up.

TELL THE TRUTH.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

No, I didn't mean anything! I was just talking to Ken!

He said, like "don't anybody touch this, this my stuff" and I just said "YOU FUCKING DIE" - like I was just finishing his part for him.

Know what I mean?
