'resignation from ILX speeches' is the obvious winner but doesn't happen anything like often enough

Tommy McTommy (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 September 2013 09:24 (eleven years ago)

definitiely a strong case for them

iMacaroon dragoons (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 4 September 2013 09:26 (eleven years ago)

btw can we agree that the lowest scoring genre in this poll gets banned?

iMacaroon dragoons (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 4 September 2013 09:27 (eleven years ago)

we couldn't even agree that the 'next mod' became a mod so i doubt it

"Asshole Lost in Coughdrop": THAT'S a story (darraghmac), Wednesday, 4 September 2013 09:28 (eleven years ago)

Can we rig it so music polls is bottom?

when a man is tired of music polls, he is tired of life. might want to give one of the other simply red albums a shot at some stage though?

i feel like i need to come up with a selection source as arbitrary and self-congratulatory as rateyourmusic.com before launching an epic new series of VERY IMPORTANT threads of people going "Black Sabbath, obv" for 10 weeks

as chief publicist for Porcupine Tree I fully endorse this plan

Feel compelled to vote "late night drunks/trolls that make no sense" since I've contributed most to this genre over the years

You forgot "liveblogging my personal journey (real or metaphorical)"

But I voted [you missed my favourite type of thread you dick] because I do not see my favo(u)rite type of thread here.

no fomo (La Lechera), Friday, 6 September 2013 01:16 (eleven years ago)

Actual best: in every ____ ever

Best from this lol list, the one abt hating on stuff from the internet which brings joy to less bitter and cyical people (which wd probably include 'in every' if they were jpegs circulating on facebook)

Amazing how dead C/D, TS, POX etc are at this point.

What kind of thread is mostly to have in it observations of something more than two people do with an accompanying "stuff white people like" style breakdown of said thing? All in a desperate attempt to show off how cool and unique you are for not being so easily categorized?

Evan, Friday, 6 September 2013 19:52 (eleven years ago)

most likely*

Evan, Friday, 6 September 2013 19:53 (eleven years ago)

Boy, did I have a hard time parsing that paragraph.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 6 September 2013 20:35 (eleven years ago)

i think "dissections of why the rest of the internet are lame" is probly your best bet there, Ecan

iMacaroon dragoons (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 7 September 2013 07:40 (eleven years ago)

Noodle Vague- in your opinion, what is ilx for/what should ilx be for? (this question is not meant to sound sneery or passive agressive or a complaint about the nature of this thread, i would like to hear your take on this question)

oedipaul mccartney (bends), Saturday, 7 September 2013 10:47 (eleven years ago)

Jay Z vs Nas smackdowns

Jeff, Saturday, 7 September 2013 10:51 (eleven years ago)

bends in all honesty ILX is probably about all it could be, but the price of having a message board worth using amidst all the horrible crap on the internet is at least a level of snarky vigilance from the peanut gallery. there's been times in the past when some of the shit flung on here has no question gone too far, but i think it's not a big deal to accept that if you say something that people think is horribly banal or offensive to taste or reason then you ought to get zung and get zung good. cut and thrust and all that. if you (not you personally) want a world with no cut and no thrust then maybe there's somewhere else to go where everybody agrees with every dumb thing you (we) decide to post. personally i'd only mod for bigotry and attacks that cross into personal abuse - if somebody's only attacking what somebody else has said then all's fair i reckon.

but y'know this uneasy balance is how it has to be, i can understand it's tedious if somebody likes stacking their albums up in different patterns week after week, month after month, that they might think it's mean when somebody comes into that little bit of private space and calls them an idiot. it's just that each of those little bits of private space are also part of this collective thing and i seriously believe if the balance shifts too far any one direction then the board eventually becomes a wasteland of lamesters.

iMacaroon dragoons (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 7 September 2013 12:57 (eleven years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 00:01 (eleven years ago)

The best thread I have ever seen on ILX is the one about the excellent puppy Henry. Because Henry is more than just cute. He's soulful. He is the dog of my dreams and I feel pure joy when I see his picture. So I voted for the cute animal thread, but really, it's all about the excellent puppy Henry.

banjoboy, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 01:25 (eleven years ago)

Tommy McTommy (Tom D.), Thursday, 12 September 2013 08:28 (eleven years ago)

best thread genre to vote for in a poll on ilx imo

his LIPS !!! (darraghmac), Thursday, 12 September 2013 09:20 (eleven years ago)

I guess it's a good thing that there are like 3 years of future music polls lined up in three coordinating thread.

how's life, Thursday, 12 September 2013 09:58 (eleven years ago)

tom you love polls on music you like and do not deny it

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 12 September 2013 13:24 (eleven years ago)

late night drunks/trolls that make no sense

^^^ Correct answer.

Matt DC, Thursday, 12 September 2013 13:27 (eleven years ago)

In tribute to noodle vague failing hilariously here I decided I would not run the 60s version in my rock decades big polls. Hopefully that will cheer him up.
deems I know you will be gutted but be brave.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 12 September 2013 13:34 (eleven years ago)

jesus christ, it's like i barely know any of you

be brave cad

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 12 September 2013 14:10 (eleven years ago)

i have a little less ish with the write-ins that try to explore different ground tbf, but the relentless shuffling of the same deck that some people seem to be into, well...let's just agree that me and those people do not understand one another.
