ADMIN: Chat, Blogs And Forum Expansion - Read This Regulars!

Re: The blog thing, I don't know, isn't that what emailing someone is for? I suppose if Tom goes thru with the idea that me and him discussed a teensy bit yesterday, which is starting a separate *forum* for general not-necessarily-music chat (as opposed to just a separate thread) then you could do the blog thing there.

I kind of think a general forum is a good idea, but hey, I would.

And again, I'm really sorry for continuing that discussion, Tom. It's done, finito. Don't worry :)

So if say Ned wants to start a thread about italian football here, currently, great he can. But if everyone does so, ILM becomes about not-music and so cool new people looking for music chat find impenetrable forum. Whereas in theory if ILM is mostly music, new people can show up and join in and then if they like us there's this whole other place they can go. Does that make sense?

I'm not quite convinced myself.

Or maybe we should just all be told to shut the hell up more often. "YOU ARE FULL OF BOLLOCKS SHUT UP" should be a good stock answer for when people go too far off topic.

I still think chatrooms are dumb. You can set one up, there are loads of free chatroom sites on the net, but it'll end up empty as these sort of formal chat rooms always do.

I definitely wouldn't be in the chatroom, I'm not THAT bored, no offense, I just hate chatrooms.

I don't think that blog thread is a bad idea.

Oh, before I forget: click this.

Okay, this is degenerating rapidly. I think the new ILM rule should be "ALLY IS NOT ALLOWED TO POST".

Everything else I'm setting up a survey on.

is it fun to abuse fred still? it seems so passe by now.

You know we love you, Fred, even though you write horrid songs about Nicole and leave me psycho voice mail. It's all good. If we didn't love you, we'd ignore you entirely. OR WOULD WE?

I do remember that DJ Martian thread, that was permanently bizarre.

Midwestern is like the stereotypical US accent, isn't it? Like when you have just an "American" character in a foreign tv show or film, they have midwestern accents, unless it's very specific to the story that they are a New Yorker or a Southerner.

good sideshow bob episodes: the one where he marries selma, the one where he runs for mayor (the best one?), the one with the his brother from frasier

bad sideshow bob episodes: the cape fear one, the one you referred to, the recent one where he was trying to kill bart AGAIN even though he said he would never again in the previous sideshow bob episode.

the garfield thing was when the general is referring to sideshow bob and says 'well, we'll find him faster than garfield finds lasagna.' and then mayor quimby gives him a look and he's like 'sorry, my wife thought that was gangbusters.'

Why are we reviving all these irrelevant things?

I just wondered what happened, if nothing, to the proposed 'blog threads'?

ilx chatroom up on discord

https://discord.gg/gfKNyh

Apparently it doesn’t work on an iPhone?

Not sure how often I'll be on, but signed up.

RIP ILX Slack

Im using the iphone app

You can stay logged in and turn off notifications

Then open it whenever the urge kicks in

Chat - as in back-and-forth off-topic messages of presumably no/limited interest to most people

thank god this was nipped in the bud

It took me way too long to realize that the initial post wasn't new and that someone wasn't actually proposing a second ILX exclusively for ILM-ers who want to talk about something other than music. Coffee, then ILX, Old Lunch. Coffee, then ILX.

man i would never get anything done if there was space on here for talking about something other than music

discord chat is for anything rly

so feel free to procrastinate
