Where have they gone, those beautiful injokes of our youth?

- The Rule of Three seems to have fallen into tragic disrepair.
- N.'s magnificently frightening tyrannosaur .gif

Others??

There aren't as many Pete/Emma fites.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 4 October 2002 11:45 (twenty-three years ago)

or indeed Pete/Emma MONOBRANE, the antithesis of a fite shurely?

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 4 October 2002 11:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't remember either of those two Tom!

There aren't enough Mike Hanle y posts/threads, especially the 'tart' ones.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 4 October 2002 11:48 (twenty-three years ago)

We have started having physical fites instead of online ones.

Just to please Nicole: oi Baran you stink.

― Emma, Friday, 4 October 2002 11:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Rule of 3 wasnt an injoke really it was a useful mechanism for thread creation.

You would remember the scary dinosaur if you saw it.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 4 October 2002 11:50 (twenty-three years ago)

There's a positive correlation between the number of Hanle y posts and the number of Ally posts, so since she isn't posting anymore, well...

And that was probably the only picture you had of your birth mother, wasn't it N.?

The requested URL was not found on this server. Was all I got when I clicked on N's link!

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 4 October 2002 11:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I know Mark - that was the heartbreak. But archive.org came to the 'rescue'.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 4 October 2002 11:58 (twenty-three years ago)

yay! I like the scary dino, I remember.

also, yeah I R remembering the rule of three.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 4 October 2002 12:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Hammers, you stink stinkier. Out of the country with you I say.

The Rule Of Three in full - if someone or something is mention in three different threads a new c or d thread should be started about them.

The statscock has gone quiet of late I note.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 4 October 2002 12:19 (twenty-three years ago)

I miss Kodanshi links.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 4 October 2002 12:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I cannot wait to get out of the country for my week of Canarian sun worshipping but you are so stinky I will probably be able to smell you from there. Also I must spend the weekend fitting a lock to my bedroom door in case my prolonged absence encourages you to go digging round in my knicker or bra drawers again.

I thought "Tom will email him" was some kind of code for "Nobody will ever email him oh well". You mean to say I should actually email him? ;)

(I suppose I have done before)

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 4 October 2002 22:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Charo ripoffs.

Hi, Anthony! Boy, do I owe you an e-mail.

― Arthur (Arthur), Friday, 4 October 2002 23:18 (twenty-three years ago)

It's been a while since there was a really weird ILE weekend. I like to imagine the week day crew scratching their heads thinking "huh? what the hell is all this?".

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 5 October 2002 07:31 (twenty-three years ago)

that's bcz it used to be FORBIDDEN TO POST THREADS AT THE WEEKEND or something!!??

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 5 October 2002 08:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah but that was only on ILM. There used to be a rule that you could only post one thread a day and none at weekends.

― Tom (Groke), Saturday, 5 October 2002 08:18 (twenty-three years ago)

A Good rule (half of it at least)

two years pass...

It seems that ILX nostalgia ended two years ago with the spiderman strip and mysterio's gayness for all things spidey. For me, this seems apt,for though it was purile and bizzare, that spiderman strip made me laugh a lot, and I look back on it fondly. Does ILX reach the heady heights it once did? And obviously people could argue even back then, that it wasn't as good as it used to be.

I am generally an observer so am not best placed to say. But, returning to that spiderman strip, I am still trying to work the term "rape dollars" into a conversation. It is not an easy task, and I live in Bangkok! But when that day comes... oh boy, I don't know what to tell you.

The spidey thread has no link anymore, Spiderman but look on their works, ye mighty, and despair.
