how many here remember the greenspun days or 'turn back you poxy fule' (which I never understood the nostalgia for as it was bloody annoying)

I was here for the poxy fule era, and maybe greenspun? was that when there was a w3hrd.ilx or whatever, two separate URLs?

Just over 11 years, apparently, between this and my prior login. Christ.

The first thing I remember seeing on ILX was Momus's penis, so whenever that was.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 27 April 2015 20:43 (nine years ago) link

12 years, that's almost a third of my life! Though I still sometimes feel like a newbie, the whole Greenspun era is a myth to me. I remember poxy fule though, and the days of anonymous posting. Remember what a furor there was when some folks dared to suggest posting on ILX should be allowed for registered users only? Such simpler times!

Ive been reading/posting since 2003-2004 but I cant prove it =\

i think my first ever post was 2005 but I may have had other logins I've forgotten. Started posting more in 2007.
This is not me btw: Have you done anything that should have gotten you murdered?

i switched over to old.css earlier today and i can't believe the suffocating waves of nostalgia coming off this monitor. also, the eyestrain.

A little over 11 years. Though I'm quiet these days I used to talk a lot a lot. Then I got *jobs* and other stuff, incl a baby. It's just by weird luck that I didn't get into ilx earlier! But one day on a bus in London in the early spring, ken c. told me about this, the other Internet tendency. I think everyone was just sheltering me from it before. Haha no.

March 13, 2001. So over 14 years. I'm having trouble comprehending that.

but then again, who really cares? I don’t. (dog latin), Tuesday, 28 April 2015 08:27 (nine years ago) link

apparently I've posted 17,831 messages, but I think that must be since around 2007 or something as I changed my account details some time ago.
