What if They Said They Were Shutting Down ILX for Two Weeks But In Fact It Was Just A Hoax To Show How Pathetic Everyone Is? What Then?

Well?

― Skottie, Friday, 2 July 2004 05:48 (twenty years ago)

We laugh? Do a little jig? Get drunk?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 2 July 2004 05:49 (twenty years ago)

It's not, don't try so hard from now on out sugar

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 2 July 2004 05:50 (twenty years ago)

I'll believe it when I see it.

― Skottie, Friday, 2 July 2004 05:51 (twenty years ago)

Cool!

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 2 July 2004 05:51 (twenty years ago)

Like everyone doesn't know how pathetic we all are anyway.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 2 July 2004 05:52 (twenty years ago)

DUDE! I'm pathetic!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 2 July 2004 05:54 (twenty years ago)

I think it's all part of Baldrick's cunning plan

― Skottie, Friday, 2 July 2004 05:54 (twenty years ago)

Maybe it's not really coming back at all. Maybe they're just saying it's coming back in two weeks to lay the groundwork for a massive, crushing, life-altering disapointment.

See THAT'S how you do it

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 2 July 2004 05:58 (twenty years ago)

We'll make it I swear!

I'm going for a long soulful walk to ponder this.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 2 July 2004 06:02 (twenty years ago)

Yes, ALex, that could be it. It's either going away for ever, or it won't go away at all. It can't be gone for a two weeks and suffer no ill effects.

― Skottie, Friday, 2 July 2004 06:04 (twenty years ago)

That's silly. Sure it can. It'll come back in two weeks and no one will notice any difference, for better or worse.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 2 July 2004 06:06 (twenty years ago)

Thinking of it vanishing entirely is surreal.....when you select the address, nothing comes up. All that information, all those names, all those e-mail address, all that wanton smartassery, all those pics of Alize the french booty-shakin' pop singer,.....GONE...and impossible to replace. All those tenuous relationships formed in the cyber-microcosm....GONE

WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE FRIENDSTER, FOLKS!

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 2 July 2004 06:09 (twenty years ago)

It'll be like that final scene in "Six Degress of Separation"....Stockad Channing wants to help Will Smith get out of prison, but she doesn't know his real name. She can't find what precinct he's in. She doesn' really know anything about him. He's lost from her forever.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 July 2004 06:11 (twenty years ago)

Like everyone doesn't know how pathetic we all are anyway.

but that's why we all love each other, oops.

(btw, i dropped off of friendster, myspace, tribe, buttkut. . .it's the new black.)

oops completely OTM in BOTH his messages.

If this community IS indeed staying put, I won't know. I'll just PLAY ALONG, like how the powers that be must be expecting. I'll stay away from this forum for two whole weeks, pretend like it's not even there, and then when the two weeks are up and I see a shitload of new messages, I will express deepest surprise. "Wow," I will say, "How on Earth did you people post all these things in such a short period of time? Did you stay up all night or something? Wow, it must've been a Herculean effort for you guys to do all this posting! Impressive." And then pretend to not hear people when they say, "It's been here all along!" La la la la, I'm not listening to you, la la la la, ignorance is bliss, la la la laaaaaaaa.

How hard is it to get ones head around the idea that sometimes, databases need to be taken offline for MAIN-TEN-ANCE?

I mean honestly, its a no-brainer.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 2 July 2004 06:27 (twenty years ago)

(Dearest Trayce, I was just kidding.)

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 2 July 2004 07:25 (twenty years ago)

We haven't been told EXACTLY when it will be up again, though, have we? Suppose there is a delay? These things can happen, right? Will we know? How will we know?

― Bimble (bimble), Friday, 2 July 2004 08:12 (twenty years ago)

these two weeks are manna from heaven. god bless andrew.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Friday, 2 July 2004 08:15 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

props to Skottie for providing Andrew with the means to make a funny.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:45 (twenty years ago)

That was GREAT, Andrew.

― Hunter (Hunter), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:52 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, props on that 4 rilz.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 16 July 2004 21:04 (twenty years ago)

i thought i knew how pathetic i was, but i was even a little surprised by how i realized july 15, "ILX IS OPEN TOMORROW!"

― Maria (Maria), Saturday, 17 July 2004 01:34 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

I'm shutting down the noize board.

'we had to destroy the village in order to save it'

― N_RQ, Friday, 19 August 2005 13:05 (nineteen years ago)

Why would you want to shut down the noize board? :-(

― @!@, Saturday, 20 August 2005 01:59 (nineteen years ago)

Hasn't this happened like every six months?

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Saturday, 20 August 2005 01:59 (nineteen years ago)

No.
