Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

You need more chaki, he'll watch your back.

I think more than one person is suffering from a pain in the neck just now.

it might be the flu, i'm all aches and pains.

are you sure it's not the crushing weight of your jejune mediocrity?

i'm not even going to look that up, i'm sick.

so are we.

This rules. Imagine, a madeup person seeming all nice and loving and genuine and appealing to the softer side of whatever! When people do this IRL noone defends them ;(

Anyone care to explain wtf has been going on?

luna fake
chaki says "luna fake"
everyone bitches at chaki
everyone slowly realizes luna is fake and backpedals
except kv_non

Broad brush strokes.

and onimo

lol

Funny bit; accusations that Chaki is just as fake as Luna.

Well amongst many

I have always struggled with the concept of fake within the context of anonymous internet message boards.

I think the thing here is that it extended beyond the anonymous internet message board and into... AIM, phone and email, I guess.

And people moving to LA.

That too.

was there a thread?

it's all on this thread.

The parts that aren't on this thread happened off-board/in RL, Ed.

my ears are fucking ringing

^^^THIS

grimly's taking his time making these photos of him "with Bernard Manning's body" look photoshopped.

ah shall probably not backtrack and find out. Life is too short for that although this does seem to be haymaking time for the mindless element of ILX.

Depeinding on who you're calling "mindless", you might want to get a headstart on back-pedaling.

Mainly Enrique and Dom P. who seem to be doing pointless revives of every luna started thread ever.

i dunno if chaki went about this in a good way tho. esp. going onto this particular thread where luna was fairly regular poster and with everyone on here 'knowing' her a certain way (online persona) and liking her OF COURSE they're going to be defensive and critical of someone attacking her without giving any real immediate clues as to the story behind that (these all emerged pretty slowly - is a bit unfair to just say 'well you should've already known and you are dumb/naive for never considering it or giving benefit of doubt' if anyone did that) - it's the fear that you've been manipulated or made to look a fool just by having regular polite friendly conversations with someone who turned out to be phoney/actually manipulative IRL. so i don't blame people for having a go at chaki on that basis but this isn't an attack on chaki either just a 'could've gone about this with more sensitivity' thing not that i guess he gives a fuck about that (that would be the 'selfless' aspect of his 'broness') i guess.

argh too much guessing

Meanwhile one of the many intriguing subplots to this whole clusterfuck is that I have just become the first ILX mod to accidentally ban themselves from the board. I suck at internet.

you're not the first mod to accidentally ban yourself (unless you did it before)

I think it's funny in the end

moving to LA!?

xposts

jol out.

She wasn't that regular a poster on here. I'm not quite sure why this thread was used for the 'I Am Off The Internet Because Of You' announcement considering all that I saw before that was on Excelsior (lol I know).

Lots of xposts to blueski

because this was a thread she was active on at the time no?

at some point throughout the whole bunglefuck, it was insinuated that (a) chaki and i were the same person (b) luna and i were the same person (c) luna and chaki were the same person

I think chaki was hoping more people would come out and admit that they, too, had been affected by Luna BS. Because he's taking heat for everyone who left ILX already or who doesn't want to be publicly IDed over this crap, I can understand it would be cool if other people who were affected or just plain had suspicions would speak up. Those people obv didn't want to, for their various reasons, so fine. But that was prob why he started with small comments instead of, say, starting a thread about it on main page. I don't blame him, I don't know what I'd have done either.

I would like to know who are the 53 people that left ILX because of the noize board.

I think it's funny in the end

said the leprechaun

52 of them were JW sock puppets.

xp

I wonder where the fake luna(s) is/are right now

or real luna(s)?

I don't think it's much/ANYTHING to think people should be truthful on the internet. Why misrepresent yrself? You want to be someone else, either grow up or do it.

can you rephrase that in a modern language?

i'm sorry we're not up to the high intellectual standards of the watercooler.

Apparently he's saying you should either fake it or not fake it, which is a sound advice.

Ik denk niet het veel/OM HET EVEN WAT om is te denken de mensen op Internet getrouw zouden moeten zijn. Waarom verkeerd voorstel yrself? U wilt zijn iemand anders, of groeien of doet het.

(x-post)

i don't exactly know what anybody expects would have been the 'right' way to go about this. i really don't think chak went about, like, maliciously trying to prove this whole fakeness at all. it was just a couple of spurious comments that got drawn out, and in the course of defending himself and proving his point, he began to illuminate something that a lot of us had been trying to leave alone for a while. things got heated, of course ...

hopefully sam will come back; she's a nice and very decent person who takes things pretty personally. she's left before ...
