Is ILX more mature now than it was in 2004?

have we "all grown up since then"? Do we look back at threads from the dim and distant past and redden with embarrassment? Has the departure of certain individuals facilitated such a change, if indeed it has happened, or has it been achieved primarily through changes in the temperament or behvaiour of the old stalwarts?

The sudden and to me perplexing revival of sundry Calum threads prompted this thread, as if you didn't guess....

no, but it seems to think so, certainly. ilx is the smuggest site in the world right now.

BAN DARRAMOUS

Darraghmac, I am interested, in why you think ILX is smug.

there was some pretty horrendous stuff in the past, unwarranted attacks on ppl and so forth. Is it possible to separate the development of a board from the development of the interweb in general?

i think ILX has gone past mature into starting to become a little senile

FUCK YOU POOPOO PANTS

I dunno, it seems there's so little going on here right now.

People on their holidays?

hey, the jerk store called - they say they're all out of YOU

lol a picture of victor mature lol

balkanization - different factions don't trip over each other except when 300 polls are started or 200 calum threads are bumped.

The lines on my face say growing older.

The Ring

It's clear to me that the advent of HSTNGS THRDS helped usher in this new era of prosperity.

You're welcome.

no offense to anyone or anything, and i'm not claiming to be above anyone here, but this shit is like middle school or something, half the time. things definitely seemed much more laid back and cool just a couple years ago.

we have all been gradually maturing since the war

cue arrogant, snarky comment.

that was xpost to me.

but don't get me wrong, i love you sons of sons of bitches.

Well, at least you recognised you made an arrogant, snarky comment.

I like looking back at those 2001 threads where people are all like "Very nice to meet you, 'Ally,' but I must respectfully disagree about Manic Street Preachers! <three-paragraph explanation>"

i take it all back. if it weren't for being funny and mean and snarky and everything, we wouldn't have threads like the one for the snorg girl. i love you sons of sons of bitches. guess who's a little drunk? rah.

Myspace bulletins changed everything.

Back in the old days 'long ass' posts were possible as the time between posts could be several hours (or longer) and your point wasn't made redundant by several x-posts. In that respect ilx is a victim of its own sucess.

Or in other words to keep the thread narrative going, brevity of posts became a necessity.

Well, that and everyone started learning one another's rules of taste well enough to effectively zing people in six words and know they'd be understood.

my bad

Flashmob for Dean!

zing culchha = death of ilx

and good riddance

In order to save ILX, we had to kill ILX.

I started posting in 2004, it was on a "cheese rap" thread. I daren't look at it as I'm sure some of the rhyming patterns I used were just plain wrong. Thus I believe I have matured, at least a little bit, since 2004.

aw I still want to read it

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
