It's been around since 2000. I think these were the first two threads: Songs About Quitting Your Job? Indie Rock: What's Going On?
― jaymc, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 18:20 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, August 2000 was the start date.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 18:20 (seventeen years ago)
Awww, I'm in the Quitting Your Job thread.. too bad we have to wait another 2.5 years to hit the 10 year mark!

we will celebrate the 10-year anniversary with a big IRL meetup where we'll dress in costumes referencing our favorite LOL threads and we'll talk in impenetrable thread-specific terms that will really let the squares know where they stand, and there'll also be, like, a mark russell style song referring to many classic ilx moments, I have it on good authority that we're actually hiring mark russell to do this
it's going to be awesome

We should all do a synchronized dance, alone, in front of our computers, for a few minutes, and then maybe watch some television or drink a bottle of water.
