(CURS YOU DMON KYBOARD)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:55 (nineteen years ago) link

dan why don't you just lock the thread if you feel so strongly?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:00 (nineteen years ago) link

(Because it would be an abuse of mod privs.)

This is like that Victor Borge sketch where him and another piano player are playing manic chords going up a piano, swapping to the bottom of the piano and going up the keyboard again and again and again, until Victor gets to the top and then slams the piano lid down.

BANG!

but dan don't you think that maybe your "last word" posts are doing nothing but prolonging the thread's existence?

I think this thread could conceivably catch Sadahura Oh! And it started off its career under the radar (tear)

(This thread has essentially devolved into a contest to see who can have the last word; I am participating without any of the obfuscatory rhetoric.)

The irony was: I did decide to print one copy, much later when all was quiet (in fact, when ILX was off for those 2 weeks), only to find the pdf file was a bad format.

Story ends...

This thread brings back memories of the meltdown of 2004, the two week blackout, and how we went on regardless. Is it two years already?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 28 July 2006 09:08 (seventeen years ago) link

for me the fallout from this was kinda worse than I'd thought - obviously I came back posting under (several) different names, but there's something about posting under my own name that encouraged me to think harder, speak more clearly, be more kind. I always thought of this as a pleasant side benefit of the old-old-school ilm "rule"/suggestion/tradition of posting under one's own name. It's not news of course that wearing a persona has a transformative effect on one's speech, both in content and form. So, while I didn't have to leave, it was obvious to me that I couldn't post under my own name, and the small but real pleasure of that openness was lost.

Of course the upside was how long it took Momus to figure out who Thomas Tallis was, but then I understand that Momus has had a stand-in writing his posts for months now, so the joke's kind of on Thomas eh

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Friday, 28 July 2006 11:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I really don't understand what's going on around here any more.

― Silver Machine Manor (kate), Friday, 28 July 2006 11:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Postýng under ones own name bears some responsýbýlýty. And ýt took me longer than momus to fýgure ýt out as wel.

Bad typýngÞ heyç I am ýn turkey...

otm

I remember that summer particularly well, because I was unemployed and bored, so ILX was the perfect distraction. Which is why the blackout felt much worse than it would, say, now.

Thread of missing excelsior the book

― The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:33 (fifteen years ago) link

oh this was a bad idea, sorry

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:35 (fifteen years ago) link

haha was this the first time we saw "Just a bit of fun, so lets be cool."

― Ste, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

it looks like the damage has already been done so swiftly and efficiently that there's nothing even remotely concievable I could've done to stop it

― omar little, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

Ste: yes

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link

I always thought that the idea that you should "think harder, speak more clearly, be more kind" wasn't a bad one.

Was it?

― Mark G, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link

six years pass...

does anyone actually have this? seems like the ultimate ilx collector item.
