Longtime ILXors - how has this board changed over time?

Haha and I have entirely been xposted into irrelevance, carry on, carry on.

lol old but I was going to say "you all are making the noise board sound like 'Heathers' + HTML"

if anything, it has been my experience that snarky mean cutting remarks is more stereotypically female than male (who stereotypically have trouble expressing themselves) --> NOT THAT ANY OF THESE THINGS ARE ACTUALLY TRUE DISCLAIMER

if those are your feelings, they are valid, of course -- who can argue with that

it's that slippery slope thing, where you act like you're that way as a pose, but then it kind of worms its way in. I always think of the Lester Bangs article about his friends being controversially "racist" or "intolerant" but in doing so they were being the same sort of assholes they were posing as

it's like having a party where everyone does coke "ironically" and then the whole thing gets out of hand

funny you say that

agree with andrew. hope that vice magazine sensibilities are dying a peaceful death as this decade moves on

xpost
lol...

man i think i posted on a very different noize bored than the rest of yall. thats not meant as a dismissal of laurels thoughts at all, she has way more validity than i do wrt to this because duh i am a dude.

i dont actually mean validity there was looking for another word but im tired and thats my excuse

what you mean is "insight"; Laurel got to see both sides of the curtain because she was IRL socializing with the core group of posters who made up the noise board

haha it was v. interesting to ultimately meet noizers in person

did you guys do a lot of coke while making racist jokes or what

no i just watched

They'd tell you, man, but that is a more personal tale that probably would go on that board you refuse to acknowledge

i used to be on the noize board all the time and i'm old and don't hang out in brooklyn. and i'm kinda girly.

what about your ironic video persona, scott?

there were "longtime ilxors" eight. years. ago.

scott was an image flood pioneer iirc

I won something! :D

a pioneer of the worst thing to happen to ilx
xp

this thread is being derailed by mookie's stories about meeting noizers in prison and scott's erotic video persona

me and gareth and estela are not exactly bro-down dudes i guess is what i'm saying? but yes i did get noisy back then. probably depended on how miserable i was that month.

estela enjoys mirth in all its forms

ive never thought of gareth as a bro

the impenetrability of the "best animal friends", "lol tubmlr", and "VAPEZILLA!" threads is really keeping the drawbridge down, not sure how anyone would understand that board

it was easy if you didn't try to understand though. i wasn't a noize dude though. but it was fun i thought (mostly) but sometime mean i guess.

i started posting here in 2006 after reading for a few months. the culture was both intimidating and appealing. i loved the remnants of the long-form serious discussion era that remained at that point, nabisco was still posting a lot and quite a few other regulars were willing to converse seriously and at length. on the other hand, it was the height of the dom & ethan era, so there was a lot of bullying and loutish aggression. like del says, that waved seemed to crest a year or two later, and ILX has been a much friendlier and calmer place since then.

it seems to me that the board has collectively adopted a controversy-averse stance over the last five years or so, perhaps in response to the ugliness of that more savage age. both a good and a bad thing, imo.

still quite a bit of bullying going on

well yeah

The fact that it's "dude"-ish and was carried to ridiculous extremes was part of the actually very layered joke, it was largely a performance but sometimes in some ways NOT a performance, etc etc. But it got kind of up its own ass after a while with the layers and for people who were being lazy or not as smart as the others, it was easier to just actually BE sexist or bigoted.

this seems otm, Laurel you were a voice of reason/maturity on NB

idk charges of sexism or bigotry get tossed around so casually they become meaningless. I've been accused of being racist by posters I respect because I've read and liked books by certain authors or expressed disdain for certain rappers. who cares? yet it's hard to laugh off. I grew up in a time and place where prejudice against blacks was pretty much the norm and have made some effort over the years not to live that way or pass it along. so these charges hurt. yes you can get your feelings hurt on ILX. and I've been a jerk to some people here in the name of "humor" hopefully not any more. But if nothing else I - we - have learned something about human interaction while posting and I'd like to think some of the ugliest trainwreck banning situations or clusterfux result in self-examination and dare I say it a more mature attitude among our little community...

Piss shit fuck oh wait

then again I don't post as much as i used to

when i was posting on the noize bored, espec in the beginning i was 18/19 and probably said a lot of stupid shit i would not say now, even in jest.

Darn youthful hooligans

The past!

flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ok ok ... time to bite

wtf is this noize board ?

surely i have done my time here to be advised of such pleasures ?

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=60&threadid=2955

the parts of the nouisse board i enjoyed were more eco-hippy than ny brodown although the two did intersect. milton parker, scott seward, gott II, rrrobyn, am0n, jon lewis iirc? etc. on like the leonardo threads. then there was the west coast contingent. and chaki, the lone ranger. the "core" group seemed to model itself on the dudes in lightning bolt or something. heavy sideplots involving a butthurt hstencil. inscrutable relationship drama. amusing appearances by hipster strawman spencer chow. *sighs*

the board is too big now for these discussions.

oh and sophisticated center "get bent" xp

this is a noize thread that the whole family can enjoy:

this iz the thread where we all post like r momz

feel like vice magazine grifter thread was the noise board's last hurrah xp

oh and sophisticated center "get bent" xp

and token britisher adamrl!

yeah it was/is pretty easy to dwell in the cosmic-noise contingent and ignore a lot of other stuff that goes on
but the same could be said for all of ilx really

haha what word means the opposite of anglophile? xp

^said w/ love

yeah it was/is pretty easy to dwell in the cosmic-noise contingent and ignore a lot of other stuff that goes on
