Longtime ILXors - how has this board changed over time?

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

all of life hopefully!

adamrl has gone so cali tho. i heard all he does now is surf and green light "projects"

<3

for some reason i still love when that steve aoki thread i started gets revived. i don't know why. most of the best aoki pictures are gone from the thread. r.i.p. aoki jpegs.

i think its always been pretty easy for me to ignore the stuff on ilx that i don't care about/think is dumb.

i'm learning

i seriously still remember the day scott realized that he didn't need a scanner and could just take pictures of pictures and make threads out of them.

I love that post like your mom thread

the internet got bigger, better that day
xp

once every few months i find myself thinking about scott's friend lance.

as expected, i don't understand a word on those threads.

~ back to ilm i go with my un-coiffured tail between my legs .. ~

lance ruled. also the 70s HS yearbook chicks or was that the same thread

don't feel bad, i mean, i don't understand most of what goes down on ILM, and i listen to and write about a lot of music!

ah, lance

same thread I think

a classic

xpost

i'm feeling like use SNA more may help me with my ILM problem, but maybe/prob not

@ rrrrrrrrrrobyn : i dont feel bad.

just locked out of a secret world.

however, now i have had a skinny peek, i suspect it would in the end bore the f*ck out of me.

I've been here since 2005 and have mostly been ghettoized in my own little ilx world, but it has been such a long time that i feel more or less comfortable here if not only because i've just been hanging out in the corner watching people for 7 years.

all my snark about british football jokes is because i feel locked out of a secret world iirc xp

i know you don't feel bad :)
xp

there are always keys to secret worlds
in your ~mind~
