Ideas for ILX

where do i sign to make this happen

maybe ilx would feel more epic if we used teal&orange.css

And she feeds you teal&orange that comes all the way from China

^lol

it would be cool if the search function could display how many posts each thread contained. especially for something like "russia", where there are a million threads and i just want to find one that's been commonly used.

ability to fp entire thread without clicking into it

This has been suggested a bunch of times, at least of couple of times by me. It's really necessary.

yeah i've mentioned it a few times myself too, but i keep bringing it up on occasion because i think it's a good idea

Yeah, 15+ years of archives call for better winnowing tools.

Or we could just nuke the archives.

*slowly reaches for torch and Pitchfork.com*

Yeah number of posts and maybe even the dates of last or even first post would be a huge help.

Search results do include date of first post, but date of last post and number of posts would be a vast improvement.

search threads by number of flag posts

Can we have a substitution of JEB! for Jeb until Jan 2017.

y'all should search yr arses for yr heads 🐍💾🎃⛅️🗿 #changenothing #bringbackpoxyfule

add autolinked hashtags to ilx

jesus christ, NO

I'd vote for hash tags. Hash browns too.

#no

I'd like to see Keith posting more

an algorithm that automatically deletes a post from its original contest after someone copies & pastes into one of the excelsior/o_O/pvmic/trenchant/zing threads

...and an algorithm that automatically moves a post to its originally intended context after someone posts it in the 'posts you had second thought about' thread

ooooh a+

...oh, and an algorithm that automatically responds to fart/wordplay threads. if you start a thread called 'itt put butt in the band name', ILX System will immediately flood the thread with 100000 Rae Butt/Fetty Butt/Speedy Butt posts and lock it when it runs out of permutations (which should take less than a second, seeing as it's an algorithm). same goes for threads asking for avant-prog youtube embeds or albums with no filler.

Fetty Butt! Ha!

ikr

an update to zing that farts out of your phone whenever someone posts to a bookmarked thread and smells really bad

in order for it to fart, whoever posts to the bookmarked thread has to smell really bad, just to make that clear. this is going to take some advanced sensor tech

which should take less than a second, seeing as it's an algorithm

damn, think I've been running some broke ass algorithms on amazon cloud

flag to exclude giant-ass list posts from search results

obv. and permabans for those making them

y'know, you could put an end to all the max and j0rdan handwringing by simply banning all semi-famous ilxors (so...whiney, buzza, steve tyler, unregistered...) from 77 and purging some of their more embarrassing posts from the public boards. maybe you could throw in a Celebrity link next to the Flag Post link so we could 51 certain posters *for their own well-being* once they'd risen above a certain fame threshold.

alternately, you could rig certain people's accounts so that Gawker would automatically reprint any of their posts containing certain salacious word strings (booty flakes, rimming, cheating on my wife, really liking the new Wilco). celeb-ilxors would get a warning (similar to the HTML and xpost alerts) if they tried to post scandalous content ('you're pretty famous brah, you sure you want to post this?), but if they ignored the warning, anything they posted would be fair game for the tabloids.

wait, who is whiney irl?

Tim Geithner

buzza and unregistered are semi-famous?

in the same way that special darks are semi-sweet

Almost semi-famous

Don't want to reveal too much here, but buzza is a former US President xp

We've never had a former president that was either special-dark or semi-sweet, highly doubting any of this.

with stet mentioning the hassles of funding the site i was wondering if a rolling voluntary sub style model a la patreon had been considered, presumably less administratively demanding than periodic fundraisers altho that may be wrong, i have no clue.

i'd buy an ilx funding t-shirt

Oh shit that’s not a bad idea.

?

a wall o' gina patterned bowling shirt

wear it to your NASA press conference or whatever that was

A feature that provides a textual précis of embedded YouTube videos so I have some idea of what my valiant workplace is preventing my delicate eyes from seeing.
