i started here in mid-2002. i think anything up to about there counts as old-ilm. although ilm had already jumped the shark by then.

Oh my! You're always around on ILX chat sessions, you go to FAPs when you can, your picture's often up on those "what do you look like?" threads, and there's more than one TITTWIS post with your name on it. In the middle of all of ILX's crazed flame wars and dripping sarcasm, you never stop treating it as, you know, just a pleasant message board. Which is sort of awesome, and might just mean you're a "young Ned in training". ;-)

***

I am quite thrilled by this, as I am a huge fan of Ned. If Nabisco is the King of ILX, and Momus is the Queen, then Ned is the bishop: diplomatic, diagonal, works well in a tactical situation, can be used to break through pw3n structures.

Does this mean Nabisco/Momus slash is on its way?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 5 January 2006 03:13 (twenty years ago)

it isn't already?

so who's gonna be stroking the Ned?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 5 January 2006 03:43 (twenty years ago)

another cheerful regular. I'm quite sure more than a few TITTWIS posts have my name on them.

eight months pass...

Oh noes!

what's your username?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

i have just emailed it to you.

I met up with a girl from OKC on the weekend. I am honestly shocked at how well it went. Before I met up with her I was assuming she'd be missing an arm or leg or have gained 80 kilos since she joined and that I'd make it an early night. But after meeting her I assumed she was out of my league and that she'd make it an early night.
Being wrong wrong wrong never felt so good! I see her again tomorrow!

But you're so smooth and cool, Thermo! Why'd you think you'd have trouble? Ok Cupid is easily the funniest of these sites, and I think it might be better than all of them. It's done me no good, though.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

when i say "it's not very good" i think i thought once i'd filled in 500 of their quiz/test things i would be presented with a cornucopia of delectable thirty- or twenty- (or even morety-)somethings, all of whom hate football, love indiepop and bikes, and live within 10 miles of london e5. but instead i've got... i dunno... a lot of people who can't spell very well. and TWO or maybe THREE (photo/memory inconclusive) ilxors.

― emsk ( emsk), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

I've always thought good spelling is an overrated criterion when it comes to selecting a sexual partner. When Justin Timberlake brought sexy back I bet he wasn't checking whether it was spelt "sexxi" or whatever.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

emsk otmfm, i just joined recently and i'm pretty underwhelmed

― nervous (cochere), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

Bryan send me yer username! I want to fill your profile with copious amounts of nonsensical, rambling comments.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

you lot missed the boat is all

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

It's sockies, Thermo. Ramble away.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

i met someone very nice on OKC. they are in glasgow now.

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 23:51 (nineteen years ago)

there's totally a few in london too.

i once invited dom passantino to a hen fap through the powers of text message from a non-ilx okcupider's phone.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 00:00 (nineteen years ago)

It truly was wheels within wheels.

Someone came up to me at a dinner party a few months back and went "You're on OKCupid, aren't you? So am I". SOCIAL NETWORKING.

― Sadly, he will be the next Alexis Petridish. (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 00:37 (nineteen years ago)

I have been having better luck with real life with OKC.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 04:18 (nineteen years ago)

why am i not saying what my username is? it is bluelights.

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 09:29 (nineteen years ago)

the trail has gone cold on my search for LUV on OKC.

― i've dreamt of rubies! (Mandee), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

Say it aint so mandee!

OKCupid makes me feel a bit Groucho Marx ish - I wouldn't want to go out with anyone I've been highly matched with. Matt and I are only something like a 67% match according to OKC, so there you go.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

my whole life makes me feel a bit groucho marxish :(

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

i met a dude on OKC. he is awesome. also, 2 hours away. :/

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

lol i'm being messaged heaps on okcupid atm lol

― Eazy-Esteban Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

I just got the following message

hi

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

Ouch.

― Eazy-Esteban Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:55 (nineteen years ago)

due to never receiving any messages on this thing i am now completely lacking in any self confidence with approaching ladies in the real world.

thanks ok cupid.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

what's yr username there ste?

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

haha ok i have changed my mind, this has *just* started getting fun.

― emsk ( emsk), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

Sigh.

I'd rather keep on with my impossible crushes, methinks.

― Cabal Of Secret Chefs (kate), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 12:23 (nineteen years ago)

great! someone from REAL LIFE found me on here. EMBARASSING.

― i've dreamt of rubies! (Mandee), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

That's embarrassing how? They are on the thing too, you know!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

I still visit OKCupid occasionally, but I've only met 2 people in real life through it in the 4+ years I've been registered there. I think the more generalized nature of it actually makes it worse as a dating site, because it's kinda hard to tell why some people have put their profiles there. I think the sort of dating sites where people leave actual dating ads that only valid for a month or two instead of a general profile work better if you want actually go out on a date, because it's easier to know what they're after in that particular situation. I guess if you just want to chat with like-minded folks from other countries or do personality tests, OKCupid is ok for that.

― Tuomas, Monday, 13 October 2008 10:43 (seventeen years ago)

"that are only valid"

― Tuomas, Monday, 13 October 2008 10:44 (seventeen years ago)

this site was only fun just answering the questions and seeing how it matched you up, heaven for bid I'd actually *gasp* meet up with someone from it.

― Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Monday, 13 October 2008 10:47 (seventeen years ago)

I thought that's what dating sites are for though...?

― Tuomas, Monday, 13 October 2008 10:48 (seventeen years ago)

i made quite a few okc buddies over the years (but mainly was back when they had a messageboard going)

― ILX Systern (ken c), Monday, 13 October 2008 10:49 (seventeen years ago)

i met my gf on okc

― thereminimum chips (electricsound), Monday, 13 October 2008 12:17 (seventeen years ago)

link?

― ILX Systern (ken c), Monday, 13 October 2008 12:23 (seventeen years ago)

It seems like you'd have to invest a lot of time into it to get a little return. Still, I have dated one or two people from it, not that they were very successful overall.

― Casuistry, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:07 (seventeen years ago)

i am scared to meet the people on it bc they creep me out.

― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 13 October 2008 14:14 (seventeen years ago)

girl profiles get way lot more action than boy ones (i registered the exact same profile as my real one, except changed the name to a girls name and put myself in as female, with the first google picture i found for 'indie girl', the first day i registered i received 85 messages)

― ILX Systern (ken c), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:04 (seventeen years ago)

cool, are you meeting up with any of them ?

― Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:05 (seventeen years ago)
