Could Tom really delete ILM?

I know not very much at all about internet things - could Tom really delete ILM? Is he the only one with this power?

Incidentally, this is my least favorite catchphrase ("tom, delete ilm").

Tom, delete... I'll wait for Jess to say it instead.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

tom, delete ilm plz.

― well, duh, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

goddamn it, dom.

― jess, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who's the daddy? *struts*

to be honest, i have no idea if tom can delete ilm or not. the "joke" began because a. he claimed on a thread there was a chance he might get fed up with ilm one night and delete it and b. he was grousing about similiar in chat one day. ethan ran with it, naturally and now it is our job to beat it into the ground.

of course, it would be a bad idea.

since the new laws allowing the police of every nation to snoop every part of the internet, tom only THINKS he can delete ilm => howevah it is on each of our cia/stasi files forever HURRAH oh wait

Alec Empire sez "Delete Yourself!"

― Mark, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd like to know why Alec hasn't taken his own sage advice.

In A.D. 2002
Stress was beginning

Tom: What happen?
Ned: Somebody set up us the bomb. We get signal.
Tom: What!
Ned: Main page refresh!
Tom: It's You!!
ethan: How are you gentlemen!! All your thread are belong to us. You are on the way to stagnation.
Tom: What you say!!
ethan: You have no chance to survive make your time. Ha Ha Ha Ha….
Tom: Delete all "thread."
Ned: You know what you doing?
Tom: Kill "thread". For great justice.

HAHAHHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Chupa-Cabras, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This is exactly how Tom and I talk, BTW.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

When you reach your peak, it's time to die.

I heart doom-monger.

I thought Only mr Greenspun had the authority to kill anything on this forum.
But maybe that might be a good idea. All the Old-Skool ILM'ers (Ned, Tom, Nitsuh, Momus, Keoki, Ethan, Sterling and all the rest who've been here since time began) should all go on vacation, go on musical grailquests to broaden our horizons and meet back here on January Second (an extra day to recover from the hangover) 2003. In the meantime, Mr Greenspun can rm -rf the entire back catalogue of old threads so that when we all come back, we have a clean slate.
MR GREENSPUN, RM -RF ILM!

(For the windows users that "MR GREENSPUN McAFEE SHRED ILM")

― Lord Custos X, Monday, 10 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"RM -RF ILM" should be made into a t-shirt.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 10 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm surprised you made it past the all your base parody without dying of laughter, Dan.

― Ally, Monday, 10 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That's because I was incapacitated and couldn't type.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 10 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I kind of wish he would sometimes.

― Nicole, Monday, 10 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Delete a website? How do you do that? Come to that, how do you set one up? In fact, could someone here please buy me a home computer with: a) working E drive b) working A drive c) working B drive d) working printer, and e) if it's not too much to ask, a phone line that works? Hell, it's no wonder I can't use one of these things!

― Anna Rose, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

For a moment, I thought Nicole was wishing for my death. I cried.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, that would be bad. Imagine Ghost Dad redone with a sassy twentysomething with a taste for ICP.

Actually that sounds like something I could pitch to Miramax. Thanks for the idea, Mr. Perry!

― Nicole, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That's what I'm here for!

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A Cosby/Perry superbeing could bring innuendo to new and glorious levels.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Only if He brought back the pudding pops.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

These are Frightening and Disturbing Visions. In classic American fashion, I will sue you all for mental distress.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, hey, HEY!!!! There's no need for that. Now come here. Come. Here. HERE. HEEEEEERE. Now sit down and eat this Jell-O.

― Bill CosPerry, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

("Now sit down and eat this Jell-O" may be the worst euphemism ever hahahahahahahahah)

― I make the crap jokes so you don't have to!, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, but you could say 'suck on my chocolate Jell-O pop' and all would be made right.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

that here, heeere bill cosby parody is hilarious!

― dave k, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! WHY. MUST. YOU. SIT AROUND MAKIN' JOKES.

WHEN YOUR NEIGHBOUR MRS PARKER NEEDS YOU TO DRIIIIIVE HER. TO THE HOSPITAL.

THE WOMAN. IS ABOUT TO GO INTO LAAAAAAAAABOUR.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Best thread hijacking in a long while.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I dream of James Avery, Philip Banks, from the Fresh Prince and Bill Cosby having some fantastic showdown.

The Fresh Prince is almost as good as the cosbys for sheer quoting fun.

"WIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, I've MAAAADE up my mind, Ashleeeeeeey, go to your room".

Vivian:Phil-ip, if you think (neck movement), for one second (points finger), that I (either of previous), a working female(...), am going to, tolerate(...), your restrictive attitude, thenyouhavealottolearnaboutme.

Will:Yo Aunt Viv, Unc'Phil got so much to learn he spend most of his school days at Burger King.

Audience erupts.

Philip:WIIIILLLLLLLLL, Ashley is not making that snuff movie.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ronan either you have wasted yr teenage years or you are throwing away yr future i cannot decide

― mark s, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i have made a horrible mistake...ILM MUST STAY.

― jess, Tuesday, 11 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Little from column a, little from column b I suspect.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I just want to say that Ronan should do a Fresh Prince skit on every thread 'cause that was fucking great.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Little from column a, little from column b I suspect.
Two B's...no...not two b's...
Little shakespearean humor for you there.

― Lord Custos X, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But seriously...I wasn't kidding about the idea I posited earlier. All the Old Skool could genuinely go on vacation, go out into the world, discover fascinating new thangs and report back. And that would be the start of a BRAND NEW ILM, but we must also throw out the past and start fresh. So I say...Mr Greenspun...RM ILM, MARK I!

― Lord Custos X, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Howaout the nu-ilmers who feel similarly just go start their own I Love Rockist Music board?

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 14 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And every time anyone started to THINK about the music, everyone would jump in and start complaining that they were destroying it. It would be great!

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 14 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Stan: "Hey! Sterling just killed ILM!"
Kyle: "That BASTARD!"
