ILX top 20 posters MAY 2007 POLL

Hmmm.... two of my homies in the top 3, I'm going to have to recuse myself from voting.

The Gier campaign trail starts here.

lex hongro

.

If Geir wins the poll, we're another step towards Nazi Germany.

T/S quantity vs quality.

How did Ned not get his way into this?

worse choices than US prez

i don't know why you've split the lex passantino vote like this.

scott seward deserves this!

Hongro = ILX MVP

No me, no credibility.

There's a g�▲�ұ now?

Don't underestimate the creepy Louis Jagger-esque stalker votes for Jesse.

Don't you mean "jessie"

x

Jesse != Jessie Monster

Yep, I can't keep up with this shit.

I need a lie down.

i am contractually obligated to vote for the schef in any poll in which the schef appears

Hey, it's cool, KBP. Jesse mostly posts on the Chicago thread and the Gay thread, so if you don't read those, I don't blame you for not knowing him.

can i see that contract, jhoshea?

I voted for the pervy 696 devil, aka Gareth. I mean, that IS Gareth, no? Either way, he has my vote.

time to get a new job :(

popular != good

In your heart you know he's right.

can i see that contract, jhoshea?

http://scoopsnoodle.com/adam_schefter/adam_schefter.gif

sure

Stevem; but at least you're at the top NOW. ;-)

Yeah, all the betting interest here is in who gets no votes.

Top ILX poster is whoever will start my fucking lawnmower.

I got my and fucking backwards for a moment when I read that.

No Neds, no credibility.

Oh my god there is a top posters of all time as well and I am in the top 10! OMG. Get one life, me.

If Geir wins the poll, we're another step towards Nazi Germany.

Heil Hongro!

;__;

Oh my god there is a top posters of all time as well and I am in the top 10! OMG. Get one life, me.

Trayce, here's how you console yourself with that: You've kept the same username for the whole time you've been on ILX (or as long as I've known you at least). You're only ahead of people like Jess or Dan Perry or JW, for instance, because they've all used several different names over the course of their time on the site.

At least this is what I have been telling myself.

must be something about the "ay"

Can we get a Replies per Board in addition to Threads per?

No gale deslongchamps no credibility

jaymc: yeah you're right, I didnt think of that. I don't think I have ever changed my username come to think of it.

I'm giving my Hamilton Bloc vote to Brigadier L-P.

hi dere creepy stalker vote

I was torn between a few people so I went with Jess because we almost have the same name. My logic is powerful.

ugh, so depressed that i'm actually in the top 20 again

i was doing so well for a while

wait WHICH jess

but think of how happy you are making the rest of the internet.

YOU.

I don't read Chicago or gay threads so I don't know the other Jesse. :(

he is on LOST thread, too jessie.

jesus on a cracker! so sorry everyone:

Top Threads Starters
Ned Raggett (Ned) 1646

scott seward (scott seward) 711

that's the kinda info i don't need to see in print.

well shame on me.

jess (dubplatestyle) 11414
strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle) 9504

GRAND TOTAL: 20,918

i feel a bit ill

that doesn't even really take into consideration all the variations on the ___o ____ington meme as well my other personalities like dabnis coleman's ghost and jewess harvell. and when i was posting without signing in. and nu-ilx.

dear god.

the first step is admitting you have a problem.

don't worry about it. ilx isn't that bad a place to spend so much time.

*biting down on lip really hard*

it's kind of comforting to know we can never touch neds 90-FUCKING-THOUSAND posts

you're not helping your situation here.

a quarter of those posts are just him saying he has a problem. he's got that covered.

x-post

can we work something into the statistics about who's claimed the most often that they've GIVEN UP ILX FOR GOOD AND THIS TIME I MEAN IT and then come back?

there's no shame in playing second fiddle to old typey-lots Ned.

The correct answer is "you."

i'm guessing patrin, but i'm sure i'd be up there

I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or relieved that I don't turn up on the all-time list.

OK, I know I was one of the last long-term regulars to actually get a log-in, but still.

Alex in NYC (vassifer) 1033

50% cover connections, 35% T/S Appetite For Destruction vs. ___, 14% Killing Joke, 1% Neneh Cherry

I voted for Jordan. Underrated.

i like 7 out of 20. not even 50%. sheesh.

Jordan gets my vote too, Nick, if only for creating a TS Snare vs. Kick Drum thread.

i like 50% of strongo

I voted for Jordan. Underrated.

I am totally voting for myself.

No Nabisco, no credibility!

Deslongchamps all the way: forever in my heart.

jess should comfort himself that he usually posts lots of little posts all in a row

like so

as opposed to nabisco's multiple-para essays in one post

When did that ILX stats page show up? I barely made it onto the top posters of the month list, I better start posting "otm" to every thread I see.

I am totally voting for myself.
Wouldn't expect anything else from you, Dan.

All are quality, can't choose

Less than 7 hours left to convince the undecided voters, populilxors!

Vote for me or I'll post 40,000 pictures of Dirty Dronerock Boys on every thread on ILX! Huzzah!

Does it count as voting for yourself if you have your alternate personalities/screennames vote for you? ;-)

Not if you don't tell everyone about it, no! tsss!

(or wait, I mean yes, I think. Nevermind, I'm not on the list, I can make mistakes!)

I don't give a shit whether anyone votes for me or not.

(unless of course the missus reads this in which case VOTE VOTE VOTE ;-)

i voted. and i usually bet the winning horse in these polls. just so you know.

If you VOTE FOR ME I pledge I will pass a law making GEIR ILLEGAL!

I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or relieved that I don't turn up on the all-time list.

Kate, i'm a bit surprised you're not on that list too. server error?

If I was in the top list and you voted for me, I would promise to lobby to get Dr. Pepper put in the vending machines by the lunchroom. And 7th period pep rallies every Friday.

If you substituted "Dr Pepper" with "absinthe" you'd be on to something there.

Yes. Her lawyer in all probability

yeah, I don't know what's going on , server error or what.

I know I didn't have a log in for years and years, but I've been pretty much averaging 1000 posts a month (while in full time employment for the past two years) which should get me at least down around the bottom.

The server HAAAAAAATES me!!! Waaaahhhhhh!!!

It's a new Server though. What did you do to it?!

I got off with its girlfriend. I have no idea!

JW probably did it when he banned me last time. :-(

who is 696

You are number 2.

this thread should be printed out and mailed to every new ilx user from here till the end of time.

:-(

(just kidding, carry on!)

Mwahaha, I voted for Marcello. I *can* vote twice since I have two logins. :-D

I'd have a punt on HI DERE at those odds.

I voted for gareth!

Geir = robbed

poor rw

rw is one of my favorite posters!

me too. LUV U RW but i voted for scott.

pro-rw, but this Scott result is A++++.

My horse finished 4th. :-/

tried to register 14 new logins to vote for That one guy that quit

haha i voted for scott

Rjg! I couldn't work out who the hell was registering all these pollster accounts from france!

That's what constitutes an emotional outburst for RJG.

yeah <3 rw but had to vote for scott b/c he's scott, hey, and his music knowledge is whoa and picture threads are awesome and he's married to maria:D and his bro's posts always makes me laugh/think(ish) - multiple levels of ilx ruling

also, lol polls and stats

now i feel bad about not voting for river wolf

scott 4 student class prez!

Where were all you scott aficionados on the Mad-TV threads?

hee hee my misanthropic, hermit hubby is popular on the internet! Reminds me of a story he told me about some 7th grade English class and they were reading Lord of the Flies or something and his teacher was trying to prove a point about how hard it is to choose a leader in that sort of situation so she asked the class who would be their leader if they were stranded and they all said Scott. And, in turn, that story reminds me of the Marooned book that's coming out this summer and that we're going to go to NYC in August so Scott can read from it at some party they're throwing for it. And that reminds me that Scott prolly wouldn't like that I divulged all this info about him.

cuet story!

scott's 7th grade english class otm
also - nyc reading party - exciting!

we'll be staying with my sis who has the same name as you minus an r and subsitute an i for a y (and she is not the female ILXor version of Scott as you are rrobyn).

kudos to scott and his team!

now i'm going to see if he'll get dr. pepper and absinthe in the vending machine somewhere.

roby/in is not that common a name i have realized but it is a good one
being the female ixlor version of scott remains awesome to me and i thank jbr for ever thinking of it, whether it stands up to accuracy tests or not. scott wld prob still be a better desert island leader of stranded pre-teens (whoa and the book is called Marooned! weeird)

i am very happy scott won this race to the poll

Yay!

speech! speech!

Of course this is merely the midterm blues...when the next General Election comes around the faithful will rally round our strongholds and we will gain new territory...Hongro has no mandate to form anything save a coalition administration...the careerist troll surge will be stifled once the electorate realise the real cost of their plans, both financial and moral.

top poster in my HEART MAY 2007: RIVER WOLF

Yes, Stronghold Hulkington is surely going to win next time. (xpost)

Rjg! I couldn't work out who the hell was registering all these pollster accounts from france!

haha!

Thing is, what do you get if you do win?

http://i11.tinypic.com/4qgzvgm.jpg

I voted for myself. :(

scott seward is chuck eddy's most diabolical creation yet - BEWARE!!!

I voted for myself. :(

-- kenan

Ouch!

I wish I'd given my contrarian Hongro vote to rw now :(

Contrarian votes are how Nazi Germany started.

he's right!

Yes, but Scott is our overlord now! Better whip out those dusty early '70s thud-rock LPs, people.

voting for oneself = v bad form surely

surprised by some of the results!

I do not accept this bank-ripped gibber-mint (copyright Neil Kinnock 1983-92).

http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/images/320/portillofringe.jpg

i wonder who voted for me (and why!). would love to see complete list of who voted for who - some real surprises here (not least the high turnout).

egos be massagin'

<I>voting for oneself = v bad form surely</I>

Of course not! If you are a leader, you should have some self-respect (as we say) and self love.

And BBcode conversion skillz. *sigh*

i didn't vote for myself (or anyone) as i have too MUCH self-respect. no comment re 'self love'.

i voted 4 u :x

Whoa, I couldn't have been beaten by a nicer guy.

I'm still shocked I came in second. I was expecting to get exactly 2 votes, both from my alter egos.

i voted 4 u 2 :x

Tony Blair votes for himself.

Obviously the server hated his girlfriend (xxpost).

I think I voted for Dan or 696. Who knows anymore! I LOVE YOU ALL!!

no comment re 'self love'.

None necessary since you admitted you didn't vote for yourself. Just kidding.

Kidding aside, I find the whole "ooh, I didn't vote for myself" thing quite disingenious.

I mean, I know this isn't a real vote, as none of us put ourselves up for candidacy. And it does smack of primary school popularity contests "elections" with the whole "don't vote for yourself" otherwise there would be 1 vote for each person.

But if it were a genuine election, political stylee, what's wrong with voting to yourself? Wouldn't *not* voting for yourself show a certain lack of support for your own cause?

Couldn't have said it better. AKA OTM.

... and scott, don't fake, you know how loved you are. :-)

http://www.tc.umn.edu/~hick0088/images/blog/jeremy-carey.jpg

Okay, wtf is going on there?!

But if it were a genuine election, political stylee

it isn't tho, so no need to do here what you would do there. it just seemed lame in this instance.

i expected between 0-2 and that's what i got but i expected the winner to only have like 8 or 9 votes, not as many as 30.

i tried to vote for rjg but it wouldn't let me. lol ilx2 part 1,000000.

this might be the biggest poll on ILX so far ever in terms of number of votes. very telling. would a 'who is the worst poster out of the top 20' poll prove even more popular?

and would the third last position turn into a third place?

I don't actually think the voting distribution would be much different (apart from maybe the number 1 spot) on a "worst poster" poll.

"Best" and "Worst" in terms of popularity competitions usually mean "most noticed" rather than a value judgement.

"you know how loved you are. :-)"

aw, and i love right back! i'm thinking it would have been a different story if ned were on that list. how is ned not on that list!?

did i mention on ile how much fun it was for maria and i to meet all these ilxors in seattle? it was way fun! ned, alfred, mister daddino, mister stelfox, rodney, maura, jaq, matos, nate, mark s, geeta, oh, everybody. such a great time.

We really don't need to have a worst poster thread.

Nor did we need to have this one - typifies everything that is worst about ILx, cont. p. 94.

I think you meant everything that is BAD about ILX.

(This is why I didn't win.)

Is this the politest meta-thread ever?

Hahaha

No, I meant worst - the worst tendencies of these boards.

I think he's picking on your grammar.

Haterz just be jealous of their poor showings!

are you two gonna argue about this cos that would be awesome

Is this the politest meta-thread ever?
I don't know about that, but this love fest is sicklier-sweeter than any episode of late-season M*A*S*H.

um... not to break the polite spirit of the thread... but how th fuck did kate come in second?

backlash?

Marcello, you are by far the most popular Marcello on that list.

Watercooler pressure! (xpost)

The poll did not specify what critera to base your selection on. I suspect a lot of people just voted for most "entertaining".

the first thing i think of when i think of scott now is his lovely 'how i got together with my missus' story. fitting i guess.

696 makes me think of the daily mail and fratton park so i could not vote for him.

Ooh, now it starts to get nasty and personal! Get her, etc.

Haterz just be jealous of their poor showings!

nu godwins

Ooh, now it starts to get nasty and personal!
We knew it was only a matter of time, like a Tom and Jerry ceasefire.

so were all 4 votes for TOGTQ from RJG?

there's a bunch of people on that list that i've somehow completely overlooked, which is weird. i barely recognise a few of the names.

There's a big article about it in the Daily Mail today.

Ooh, now it starts to get nasty and personal! Get her, etc.

oh relax, i'm just wondering how you can be the female kenan and be so much more popular than me. :(

there's a bunch of people on that list that i've somehow completely overlooked, which is weird. i barely recognise a few of the names.
That reminds me of the time jess made a lightning-fast run down the names on the statscock top fifty and put a snide comment next to every one.

rjg likes nrq

Scott also has a knack for funny photo threads that Dada never seemed to manage.

My post got eaten :(

I never look in photo threads.

This is presumably why I fail to recognise several of the names near the top of the list.

No doubt the discrepancy will continue its exponential increase.

Warnock resigns as blueski manager. Jagielka has assumed caretaker duties.

kvlol made a post but i eated it

i started a marcello greatests hits thread on the noise board once. i'm a fan!

I never read the noise board either.

No doubt I am missing out on many enticing treats.

Nor do I read balkanised threads.

This may equally explain the dearth of recognisable names in the upper tier of the above honours list.

this might be the biggest poll on ILX so far ever in terms of number of votes. very telling. would a 'who is the worst poster out of the top 20' poll prove even more popular?

i thot the $$$ poll had more votes?

speaking of the daily mail, wildly o-t, but can anyone tell me why jack straw is picking press conference questions for gordon brown? general obsequiousness? or is this sort of thing standard practice in your parts?

at least i beat geir

i thot the $$$ poll had more votes?

money over bitches

who the fuck voted for me

the lolcats

at least i beat geir

*insert punchline of your choice here*

i thought i voted for river wolf but i guess i didn't. sorry mang.

I voted for you Ally! (Nabisco wasn't on the list)

i forgot to vote for anyone

i didn't vote, i didn't realize this thread was here ;_;

<i>so were all 4 votes for TOGTQ from RJG?</i>

i voted for him. he's easily my favourite.

uh

How did Ned manage to escape this list, anyway????

voter apathy is clearly at an all-time high

How did Ned manage to escape this list, anyway????

All I'll say is that I've been terribly amused at seeing who actually posts the most on here recently.

is the list entire board-wide or just ile?

B-b-but you post more than I do, Ned! Go look at the stats!

(altho ROFFLE at HSTNGS being one of the most active/popular threads!)

May stats or in general? I mean, I'm not doubting the latter.

May stats! At least as of today; maybe you were on a lull when the poll started?

Could be!

god who the fuck voted for kate

A. every limp dick from the home counties

river wolf wouldn't have been shut out if "shirtless" had been specified

or "bicycle butt"

Aw, JW, I know it was you and your 18 other alter egos who provided the votes I didn't. :-*

god who the fuck voted for kate

ok see, Kate, now that's nasty and personal.

Yeah, I really don't get that, either.

I kind of don't see why people don't just write "Shut the fuck up and get over yourself, Jon" and move on at this point...?

It's JW, of course it's personal. I was beginning to think he'd forgotten all about me, now that he's been pulling Trayce's pigtails for the past few weeks.

lol morbs u perv

Wait, who said we're not allowed to be nasty and personal, you assflangers.

fuck you guys

evan is teh hott, just admit it ppl

because it's funny? xxxxxpost

Wait, who said we're not allowed to be nasty and personal, you assflangers.

NOBODY! But we do get to call you a dick. Fair?

i like the idea that if someone had said we're not allowed to be nasty and personal that it wouldn't have just happened anyway.

http://oberlin.edu/student/lfamular/headache.jpg

if Kate didn't want to be insulted she shouldn't have run for office.

if kate didn't want to be insulted she shouldn't have quaffed gravy out of a beer bong for the past 15 years.

lol @ baldy

i feel like the dc/ilnfl/schfterblog bloc kinda split the vote

lol, groundhog day.

(I might have voted for either Jess or Ally, I can't remember offhand)

but which merry pranksters voted for crazy clown Geir Lexantino?

before anyone accuses me of anything, i voted for dan.

i ack-ack-cuse you

i voted for dom passantino. his ex girlfriend has taken his favourite sophie howard poster. anything to cheer the boy up.

i mean it could be worse she could have taken his rhona mitra calendar.

these things are collectors items.

It's JW, of course it's personal. I was beginning to think he'd forgotten all about me, now that he's been pulling Trayce's pigtails for the past few weeks.

<3 Kate =D

it's site-wide, not just ILE.

i voted for you, scheff

I tried to vote scheff in '07 but I've been disenfranchised by prior felony convictions

I voted for Jordan because of the jazz drummy connection and because he generally strikes me as a nice dude with very little obnoxious baggage compared to many of the posters here.

oh, I voted for you, Ally. I like a lot of these posters, though.

So why does it have to be either/or?

guys you didn't really have to answer me

haha you sounded mad!

yeah i dont think i really wanna know who voted for me

I voted for Jordan because of the jazz drummy connection and because he generally strikes me as a nice dude with very little obnoxious baggage compared to many of the posters here.

And I met my girlfriend at one of his band's shows. And he's hot.

he generally strikes me as a nice dude with very little obnoxious baggage compared to many of the posters here

totally otm, irl as well. I can't figure out why he hangs out with the Chicago ppl.

i'm not even mad, i just like saying "fuck" today!

i'm gonna come to chicago and up yr baggage levels tenfold, someday!!

I don't know what that means, but it sounds awesome!

wait until i leave, i think our combined obnoxious baggage would result in a giant sinkhole that would swallow the american midwest.

A visit from Ally would be an A+ treat, for reals.

"baggage"

you guys :D

It's never gonna happen. Remember how Laurel came to Chicago and hung out with us? Me either.

Where are you going Kevin?

I voted for Jordan because of the jazz drummy connection
He's probably the only nominee who owns a set of agogo bells.

wait, no, i totally plan to do this during the summer is the thing. i will most likely have to come there for business during the year and i'm thinking of doing it for the hell of it so i can get a weekend out of it. srsly!!

i want to know why jess got more votes than geir when jess has no melody

xpost ok cool, you will totally dig Chicago. you already know Nick and Sarah, and I think Jenny and Jesse are also essential parts of an ilx fap diet.

Where are you going Kevin?

midsouth/east coast at the end of september through early october, europe for a couple weeks in late winter/early spring, out of chicago for good next spring.

kevin hates chicago for some reason. I think he's projecting.

i have "soul"

But you're not a soldier.

decidedly not

WHY ARE MY POSTS ALL BEING EATEN!!!!

I kind of don't see why people don't just write "Shut the fuck up and get over yourself, Jon" and move on at this point...?

OTM. Really sick of it.

Ally you can sleep on our futon for realz.

'call them an aspie and move on'

kevin hates chicago for some reason. I think he's projecting.

i don't hate chicago, i love it. before i leave i'm getting the chicago flag tatooed on the inside of my left biceps so it will always be next to my heart. best times of my life have taken place here; best friends i've ever had i made here; i've seen, heard, and experienced some amazing things here. but i've been here long enough. time for something new.

Des Moines

oh ok.

chicago loves you, too, and will miss you a lot.

fuck dude, if i come back from europe i know i'll be broke so i'll be around for a while before i can get my shit together and shove off. but if you hear me say i'm moving back to boston kill me with a shovel, please.

move to new york, don't pussy foot around

it's the only next logical step from chicago

I voted for Jordan because he is the only person on the list who has gotten my band a show, let us sleep at his apartment, and made us feta and basil omelettes and sour cream waffles the next morning.

I don't understand 0 votes for river wolf though.

it's the only next logical step from chicago

i was thinking about just not coming back from europe. i've got some friends and even more friends of friends so we'll see.

Chicago has a flag?

I don't know what's more heartbreaking, 0 voted for river wolf or Kenan's "... I voted for myself *sniff*" post.

Chicago has a flag?

Yes, Chicago is exactly that full of itself. What are ya gonna do.

MPLS/STPL has a flag, but it's of two river rats fighting over a chunk of feces, so you don't see it very often.

I feel that the Chicago flag should be redesigned to accommodate a picture of Frankie Knuckles.

It appears Austin also has a flag although I can't recall ever seeing it. Perhaps all cities have obscure municipal flags.

I just noticed this thread.

I feel...supported?

I like Grand Rapids, Mich.'s flag:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e8/GrandRapidsMI.gif

It's like an insane, blood-hungry Pac Man.

jello-filled power pills

Uh, now my posts are getting eaten as well. That's weird.

So, further research shows that MPLS does has a flag. It sucks, and looks like this:

http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/clerk/images/cityflag-1.gif

Thus, revision:

MPLS/STPLHASTINGS has a flag, but it's of two river rats fighting over a chunk of feces, so you don't see it very often.

top blue stripe represents north branch of chicago river and lake michigan, bottom stripe the south branch and the great canal. the stars represent pivotal moments in the city's history; the fort dearborn massacre, the great fire of 1871, the columbian exposition of 1893, and the century of progress exposition of 1933-34.

That looks like it might belong to a communist country.

chicago doesn't value labor enough to be communist

http://www.sarahjanerhee.com/20021108chicagoflag.jpg

http://www.dcwatch.com/issues/flagproposed.gif

whoa big sorry

the six points on the stars represent something, too, but I forget. Because it's v forgettable.

beer
sausage
bears
broads
cubbies
pizza

xpost

also v complicated:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_flag

apparently each point of each star represents something different?

The first star represents the Fort Dearborn Massacre of 1812. It was added to the flag in 1939. Its six points symbolize transportation, labor, commerce, finance, populousness, and salubrity.

The second star stands for the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, and is original to the 1917 design of the flag. Its six points represent the virtues of religion, education, aesthetics, justice, beneficence, and civic pride.

The third star symbolizes the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, and is original to the 1917 design. Its six points stand for political entities Chicago has belonged to and the flags that have flown over the area: France 1693, Great Britain 1763, Virginia 1778, the Northwest Territory 1798, Indiana Territory 1802, and Illinois 1818.

The fourth star represents the Century of Progress Exposition (1933-1934), and was added in 1933. Its points refer to bragging rights: the World's Third Largest City, Chicago's Latin Motto (Urbs in horto - City in a garden), Chicago's "I Will" Motto, Great Central Marketplace, Wonder City, Convention City.

I like that the images on ours seem to correspond to government, science, sailing, and designing a plan to blow up the sun.

fuck it, from now on that's what i'm saying the points stand for.

if I had a flag, the stars would represent rock 'n' roll & brew, rock 'n' roll & brew

clevo flag = the red represents the time the cuyahoga river caught on fire, the blue represents the time they put out the fire

I just had to look up "salubrious." It means "good."

ok the last 15 posts on this thread are incomprehensible. i hope that one day this thread is the only thing left of our civilization and future archeologists are like lol fucking old civilization was retarded, what does this even mean.

Oh. Hi. Someone just told me that my name was being taken in vane here. I am not Jesse or Jessie. I am me!

BIG HOOS wuz robbed

I can't believe I'm one of the top 20 posters. I'd estimate that at least 90% of those posts have been to the Chicago thread and then some recently on the gay thread. I read the L O S T thread, but rarely post there.

However lex (?) did have a point that I tend to put up a series of small posts.

I want to thank my 2 supporters, whoever you are. Unless you thought you were voting for jessie, in which case, mucho boo-hoo.

lex was talking about jess re series of small posts i think. i do it all the time myself.
