Can somebody give me (and newbies) the lowdown on all the ILE "rolling" threads?

I guess we have:
-Excelsior (I guess that one is pretty clear to everybody)
-the TITTWIS/This is the thread where
-UK Watercooler
-mongrels/sheeps/fuxors

Am I missing others?

The image threads?

The what are you listening to threads?

You forgot the Rolling Dancing, the Rolling Walking and the Rolling Gigging threads. All of which are also pretty self explanatory.

People like to talk to one another. In their own towns/time zones. (See also Chicago and Glasgow.) And make plans and gossip and just chat without dragging other threads off topic. I would have thought it was pretty self evident.

it took me ages to work it out :-(

i've "factored them in" to my understanding of New Answers on ILE.

Well, for people coming late to the party, it would be nice to have a little guide, no? If I understand correctly, Mongrel/sheep is the Oceanic thread and I guess the IK Watercooler is self-explanatory. What about the TITTWIS?

UK Watercooler is loser corner, where the unhip talk about cookies and fender jaguars.

Unhip? Speak for yourself, dude! I'm so hip I'm going to be in an Edgy Style Magazine!

disclaimer: i was speaking for myself. the other Watercool0rs are in no way unhip, and most definitely aren't still wearing their pyjamas.

What happened to Dunedin?

I think they got absorbed into the sheepfuX0rs/mongrels continuum.

also they have the rate board
