206.174.196.167 so rolls off the tongue, though.

Use your old ILX bookmarks, they still work.

That's everything before the Big Crash of '06 innit? Is there a way to somehow get the sandbox threads over here?

xpost: yeah, ilx.wh3rd.net and ilx.p3r.net both work. One is a lot faster than the other one, though. (yay! we can have that old discussion again too!)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:32 (eighteen years ago)

best thread from the sanbox era... what is it?

― mahalo 4 ur kokua (grady), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:34 (eighteen years ago)

Is there a way to somehow get the sandbox threads over here?

this was discussed, i think, and IIRC the answer was "yes". stet/ned/keith: what thinkest thou?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:38 (eighteen years ago)

One is a lot faster than the other one, though.

Patently false.

^^^ so defensive

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:41 (eighteen years ago)

how can you get the threads over here if they were posted by different user accounts?

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:42 (eighteen years ago)

I don't understand.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:42 (eighteen years ago)

I remember the good old days of the sandbox like it was yesterday..

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:43 (eighteen years ago)

where is new code :`(

― PRKLTR (flezaffe), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:44 (eighteen years ago)

Patently false.

I know, but that was always what people said then :-)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:53 (eighteen years ago)

hi!

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:55 (eighteen years ago)

okay, looks like sandbox threads will be staying on the sandbox. such is life.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:19 (eighteen years ago)

will the sandbox remain active?

― spectre (gear), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:20 (eighteen years ago)

maybe until we're happy with the new code, cos this code is as likely to collapse as it was on the old server.

― stet (stet), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:20 (eighteen years ago)

LET'S JUMP UP AND DOWN AND BREAK IT

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:21 (eighteen years ago)

TBH, the best thing is probably to leave the two running concurrently and let ppl slowly migrate back here, recreating any good threads they want to.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:22 (eighteen years ago)

let's be sure to recreate that nifty little dreamgirls thread

― spectre (gear), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:24 (eighteen years ago)

i like that ilx has an alternate universe. sanbox should remain.

― mahalo 4 ur kokua (grady), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:27 (eighteen years ago)

should the statscock be reset?

― kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:29 (eighteen years ago)

Does that even work?

― stet (stet), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:30 (eighteen years ago)

i hope not.

Should we have a permanent link to the sandbox, just to make sure it's easily accesible to new folks when/if this board goes down again?

― kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:48 (eighteen years ago)

it should be a secret only cool people know about.

― mahalo 4 ur kokua (grady), Thursday, 4 January 2007 00:49 (eighteen years ago)

Wohoo, I never bothered to register in the sandbox, but now I'm baaaaaack. Wassup?

I found a new lotion, Lubriderm w/sea kelp extract. I am posting this here so the info will not die w/the sandbox like so many cat turds.

Jeeze, sorry for being accurate. (The idea of one host name being somehow faster than another when they both point to the same server is just insane. (Almost as insane as the concept of being defensive about something so impersonal!))

"Sandbox rip" is when kids bury you in the sand and you fart but the air-bubbles never make it to the surface, then a week later, somebody is digging up some tunnels or some shit and discover your hidden fart-cloud treasure room.

Using p3r was quicker for me at work, because using wh3rd involved me turning off the company's filtering software.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 4 January 2007 22:37 (eighteen years ago)

Real ILX is back, but it seems like we will each of us always carry a little piece of the sandbox with us in our respective vaginas.

i feel like there should be something related to dreamgirls in that never forget sandbox pic (but i don't know what b/c i stayed offf that thread, only heard the talk abt it)

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Friday, 5 January 2007 02:51 (eighteen years ago)

I felt bolder in the sandbox. I'm a little shy again now in the greater ILX.

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Friday, 5 January 2007 12:15 (eighteen years ago)

You know, I'm feeling exactly the same thing. I don't know if I'm going to start threads here, for instance, but over there I just did. It's like, now it's the real thing and only important people start threads here.

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 5 January 2007 20:23 (eighteen years ago)

do not worry

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Friday, 5 January 2007 20:30 (eighteen years ago)

This reminds me of this great statement about chess a former friend of mind once made (I've substituted chess with realilx, obv) : "Failing at RealILX is like failing at life."

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 5 January 2007 20:55 (eighteen years ago)

mind? He was a friend of mine too, btw.

also is this the sandbox layout? i can't tell the difference

temporarily turned off the sandbox server to see what it does to performance.

sb'd u for that

Still have to use Zing Touché to post otherwise get redirected to shutdown sandbox

― Miss Piggy and Frodo in Hull (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 2 January 2012 19:30 (thirteen years ago)

Can you explain more about that? You shouldn't be getting redirected back there after posting.

― stet, Monday, 2 January 2012 19:35 (thirteen years ago)

Not after posting, before. I posted from Zing T. If I went to the browser and typed www.ilxor.com in the address window it would redirect me. But now I just switched browsers momentarily and it works in this other browser. I am going to clear out the cache on the other browser and see what happens. Yes, that worked, thanks.

― Miss Piggy and Frodo in Hull (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 2 January 2012 19:43 (thirteen years ago)

i just loaded up ilx rather half mindedly. as i was scrolling down the thread list it suddenly dawned on me YAY ITS BACK!

― Summer Slam! (Ste), Monday, 2 January 2012 21:12 (thirteen years ago)

Be careful what you wish for

I miss the sandbox tbh

The sandbox is a foreign country, they do things differently there.

hate it when ppl say they were there at the sandbox & you know they weren't, i remember it was just me, tony wilson, my friend bernie, twenty old punks at the back, what we saw changed our lives

sandbox logins on ilx is stranger still, it's like we were having an affair & now you're here in my living room with my kids

― Abattoir Educator / Slaughterman (schlump), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 01:16 (thirteen years ago)

Good riddance, I say. I know you all want to tell nostalgic tales of the old country but I remember the cold sandy nights, the long queues for sock rations, the illegal polls and the lack of democracy (well, SBs). Embrace the future!

― questino (seandalai), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 01:18 (thirteen years ago)

I remember saying something just like that to Neal Cassidy before he died. We were sharing a smoke. I was four years old, but Neal was like that, y'know - could relate to kids.

Never made it to sandbox and am very glad to see us back. Missed you all!

Hey, is the sandbox down for good? It'd be nice to have access to those threads sometimes.

― Godzilla vs. Rodan Rodannadanna (The Yellow Kid), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 20:55 (thirteen years ago)

No, definitely not. It'll be back. I'm just trying to work out the best way to do it -- this server might not be big enough to run both simultaneously (that was the cause of the serious slowness when I first turned this on a couple of days ago)

― stet, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 20:58 (thirteen years ago)

Are you planning to have it up as read-only? It'd be the best way to go.

― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 21:02 (thirteen years ago)

Not for the sandboxers!

thank you, stet! <3

― Mayan Calendar Deren (doo dah), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 21:38 (thirteen years ago)

stet, while/if you're here: can you pull the sandbox thread "THE 2011 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations" out of the database? We need to go through it in order to compile the nominations spreadsheet, and voting is supposed to start in a couple of days.

― questino (seandalai), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 21:45 (thirteen years ago)

Saved a sandbox thread to disk before the shutdown for just this reason.

― WATERMELON MAYNE aka the seed driver (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 22:06 (thirteen years ago)

I shoulda done that. Shoulda/coulda. Oh well.

It's only just stable, and there's some stuff that still needs fixed for Amazon. No code changes till that's all done.

Thanks for agreeing to pull that Albums/Tracks noms thread, stet. You remain a king among men!

have a vague memory of starting a thread the night the sandbox went down, went on to check it the next day--gone.

hey who was it on sandbox who was into starting/arguing on a slow/boring/contemplative-cinema thread. i am into it but i am probably not going to get around to starting one anytime soon so if you have any provocative opening gambits, go for it
