Simple. How many people post here? Just say how long you have been reading or posting.

― kevin enas, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since 2 days after DG set it up.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since February 10, 2001.

― kevin enas, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

shit. when you started posting to ILM if you came from there.

― kevin enas, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh right. Well I started ILM so yeah, then. August 2000.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two days and have been quite verbose and wittery in that short space of time........have had time off work so explains why, sadly cannot 'play' whilst at work so curtailment soon. And have essays to do so looks as if working, but not.

08/00

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since mid-December 2001. So I got to miss out on a lot of the good stuff, like Doom Patrol and Alan McGee masquerading as an illiterate cockney

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just over a year ago.

― Kim, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since the day after DG set it up.

― RickyT, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(Read the fricking thread before you post, Tunnicliffe) I've read and sporadically posted to ILM since its inception.

― RickyT, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Only for a couple of months.

― Douglas, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Day 1/from the start for both ILM and ILE.

― DJ Martian, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

June or July 2001.

― Maria, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since this whole shebang got started.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

only recently, i've only started going on regularly over the past week and a half.. although i posted a couple of times under a different name after christmas.

i was aware of ILM before then.. people said good things about it. i thought it was full of cliquey over-educated obsessive compulsive inbreds.

i just knew then i was going to love it.

― Wyndham Earl, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Let's start at the very beginning..."

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OAK!

Since September 2001

― Mandee, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was in to ILE before it got big...

― JM, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― Kris, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since the first day of ILE!

ILM...can't remember, early last year I think.

― jel, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"In the beginning..."

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I danced on the morning ILM was begun.

― Tim, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since midsummer

― Honda, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Amusingly enough my first ever ILM post - and therefore the first ever ILX post - was me complaining about indie. How things change eh.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Amusingly enuff my first ILM post (nov 2000?) was a pedantic defn of rockism!!

― mark s, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hi Folks :) I have been here twice, and couldn't tell ya! ( My age?)

― Gale Deslongchamps, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is where I think Gale first gatecrashed the world of ILE back in August 2001.

― DJ Martian, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I started this fucking board with my rantings.

― Ally, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

um, august 2001? i was lurking a bit before then, but thats when i posted out of unemployment induced boredom.

― jess, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Let that be a lesson to you all.

My 1st ILM post was April of last year where I came out four-square in favor of graffitti tagging. Oh dear.

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

From the start.

― Andy K, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the pink moose has been grazing these fields for lo these many years , providing flourescent droppings of wisodm and beuaty

― anthony, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since the birth of ILE (or a wee while just before that). (Wee.)

― David Raposa, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

filth has been flowing since ally's ass dragged me over on day one/

― goeff, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I dropped by off and on starting last summer but didn't become a regular until 9/11.

MIKE DADDINO POST NOW!!

― Samantha, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh my, that thread. I had to do it, though. I was *so* worried.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

May 2001 on ILM, I don't post much here due to the large intimidation factor and my tendency to read past posts and be horribly embarrassed.

― adam, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I used to read it more, but less now. Not sure why. I think I don't like long mutating threads as much and this place really has LOTS of posts everyday, each of which goes off into tangents. This is a good place for lurking.

― Nude Spock, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Started on ILM during boring summer job last summer, maybe June 2001?

― Vinnie, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

for a month. How long has IL* existed?

― misterjones, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ILE started in june01 i think. i posted i think on the first day (or very soon after if not)

ILM i think started in august00, but i don't think i actually posted until march01 (had been reading since the beginning, not entirely sure why i didn't post for so long)

― gareth, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, more or less since the start of ILM - ah heady days. It was just this little thing that Tom started up for freakytrigger 'feedback' 'it's your turn' malarkey.

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I never really posted much on ILM, but I posted on here from just about the beginning I think.

― chris, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ILM - pretty much the beginning, but also pretty much stopped when ILE started. I'm much more an everything kinda person.

― Pete, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

About a week, found the board through a random Google for info on the Tatty Bogle. Stuck around because you all seem warm and cuddly. This would be my second post, Hello!

― Simeon, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When I got the modern interweb properly at wurk! And I cannot remember when that was. ILE search not vvv refined. But I had been posting sporadically before then and going down the BOOZER and having threads explained to me.

On way to rooftop picnic:

Tim: "Sarah pretend to be Doompatrol"
Mike: "Yes do it do it"
Sarah: "Yeah okay cool... who's Doompatrol?"

So I did not have it at Rooftop Picnic Time.

― Sarah, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

After Rooftop Picnic:

Tim: "Sarah pour beer down Emma's arse"
Alex T: "Yes do it do it"

(you see the fun we have eh new posters. sigh)

― Tom, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

CrumbZoR - my first post was Sept 2000 (in a previous incarnation where I was played by Jon Pertwee): 'Was the British Music Press Ever Any Good?'

― Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What was the first ILM thread, anyway? I can't remember.

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since just after it started, never much of an ILM poster though.

― Ed, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

First ILM Thread - "Is indie rock an aesthetic desert?" Mind you those two tracks I downloaded were bloody awful.

― Tom, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sporadic posts, regular reading, since the start of ILM pretty much...

― alext, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blimey upon seeing that I note that I seem to be often bullied/co- erced into doing things. I may point out though that I did none of those things that people wanted me to do as I am an independent womang.

― Sarah, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I started lurking back when ILM had all the threads on the front page (April?), then on ILE, but only started posting when I got my new computer, around June 22nd ish.

― Graham, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i cannot remember - one year ? seems ages since the Cover Wars, the skirmishes against the *yuppie fuckwit* and the formation of The Clary Protectorate

^too long^ cry the geek chorus

― Geordie Reboot, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thing is, I've actually been here longer than most of yer Prominent Posters, I've just been hiding at the back. I've been reading ILM since, ooh, about the end of 2000, but I didn't post _anything_ for ages...

― emil.y, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah, yes - the Geordie Cover Wars...

My first post (early 2001 - a year ago?) was possibly the one saying that it was GOOD, not BAD, when the MM put the Darling Buds on the cover in Feb 1989. This topic and opinion remain Urgent and Key for me, 13 years on.

― the pinefox, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

reading on and off for some time then consistently for a couple o months before posting in, um (quick search) September, tho i think i did do the odd ILM post much earlier. (largely in reaction to rockist defamation of crap bands that i happen to like)

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pinefox you posted a few times very very early - in fact your "Ow!" thread was in the first month I think.

― Tom, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

how did everyone find out about this bboard then? I was a comparatively late arrival, I pay my respects to the elder gods...

― Menelaus Darcy, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i think freakytrigger may have got NTK'ed a couple of times. Tom? Which begs the question how i got to NTK, and that's a hazy blur of TVGoHome (when the author still cared), USENET, google and retro- games.

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not as far as I know Alan. I think I'd have noticed the hits.

― Tom, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

well maybe it was some actual IL* threads.

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Been reading for about a year. Been posting for about a week.

― Colin Meeder, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

LONG OVERDUE. Welcome. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Aug/Sep 2001 - after meeting many ILErs at indie gigs. Heard about it first when Tom complained it didn't work one day on LondonIndie. Not posted recently cos I've just moved from London to Paris. Still, hello!

― Will, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've been reading ILM since May 2001. I've been posting on it since October.

― Mark Dixon, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Posting since October/November. Started reading the board several months earlier.

― Nancy Drew, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Almost exactly a year, it seems. I didn't realise it had been so long.

― Ally C, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

uhm, hi. i started posting in december. well, if the ile awards were before that, then i started posting before that. (i'm just too lazy to go look it up, and my memory is made of pudding.)

i don't post much, and usually to say things that don't matter.

oh well. at least i have cute sneakers.

― nancy b., Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

SNEAKERS!

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

TRAINERS!

― jel, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mmmm...no. sneakers.

― nancy b., Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

TENNISHOES!

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pretty much from the beginning (ILE) Since whenever Momus put up a link to Tanya H's "I Hate Music" in one of his essays (ILM) I don't seem to post nearly as much since email connection came home, but still read attentively.

― Norman Phay, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As well you should, Norman. One of us!

Anyway:

BROTHEL CREEPERS!

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As in "gabba gabba, we accept you" ? ? great!

PS big chunky boots w/high heels & shiny bits like wot goths wear.
