"ill-ex-saur" sounds like a pharmaceutical = classic.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Monday, 19 August 2002 18:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Can someone draw an Eyelleksaur fighting a robot? Or can we deem that the dragon in Oh No! Fite! Oh No! is actually an Eyelleksaur? That gives us a 'justification' for putting it on the front page!

I always read "evasev" as "evasive" -- up until last month I thought it was Mark's overly-complex spam-dodging device.

But I never got with the notion of calling the site ILXOR. The site is ILX, its denizens are ILXors.

If you're really old school, it's just IL*

― Grebo Jones (Branwell with an N), Thursday, 17 September 2020 15:36 (five years ago)

I can remember a long-gone poster proudly telling me at one of those freaky trigger poptimism discos, that "he was there, at the pub, when Tom and DG decided that there should be an I Love Everything (else) as well as an I Love Music."

At which, I laughed uproariously, and told him, "my friend, I'm the reason the second, off-topic board was considered neccessary in the first place!"

― Grebo Jones (Branwell with an N), Thursday, 17 September 2020 15:41 (five years ago)

Should ask some really old school ILX trivia questions, such as...

-What was the statscock (and how did one suck it)?
-Who won what at the very first ILX Annual Awards?
-Name at least 5 people who have worked on the ILX code, starting with Greenspun

etc. and so on

― Grebo Jones (Branwell with an N), Thursday, 17 September 2020 15:51 (five years ago)

-what is the etymology of ‘GREBT’
-what was AMA (not ‘Ask Me Anything’)
-what did Omnipotent Baby demand in exchange for restoring the ILX database?

― Grebo Jones (Branwell with an N), Thursday, 17 September 2020 16:01 (five years ago)

the pronounciation of ilxor, that’s where i’m a viking

― you are like a scampicane, there's calm in your fries (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 17 September 2020 16:27 (five years ago)

Agreed, I've always pronounced it 'where I'm a Viking'.

― Wessonality Crisis (Old Lunch), Thursday, 17 September 2020 16:29 (five years ago)

you mean Vixor

― avellano medio inglés (f. hazel), Thursday, 17 September 2020 16:33 (five years ago)

You know, just occurred to me, but did we actually mark the 20th year of the site? The first threads on the original ILM forum were posted in August 2000, so we're almost old enough to drink at this point.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 September 2020 17:49 (five years ago)

I think we’re all just prentecing this place hasn’t just sucked 2 decades of our lives because the thought of us being that much older is too much to bear!

Srsly this is one thing that should just be decided by Ned instead of put to a vote. To hell with democracy in this case
