The hoax itself is only about two years old isn't it?

Not me. The thread wasn't a hoax. The spirit of 'so not gonna happen' wasn't a hoax.

listening to this podcast, damn, it's an incredible story!
i was always kind of defensive of the guy in the photo. at first i thought people were really projecting onto the photo and being a bit mean, like talking behind someone's back. this podcast really gets across that it's more about the curiosity, piecing together this mystery, and these layers of hoaxes and false stories all intersecting and colliding. fascinating stuff!

did they ever find out who took the photo? that may be one of the most important keys to the mystery of this moment.
there was at least a 4th person present -- girl on the right is looking at them (?) -- who is this?

the luna story would make a good pod. it involves deception, money laundering, death and cheating.

No no. I agree that this is extremely fascinating and interesting. I was intrigued when I heard the podcast. I was just wondering if anyone was angry about the death hoax, since sometimes that's how people react. It's difficult to gauge an internet community, and I just didn't know how y'all felt about it.
― whtkrkid, Friday, 14 October 2016 20:11 (seven years ago) link
It's not like it was a cancer-blogging-child death hoax

agree w all here that the luna saga (which I was totally unaware of at the time) is a way more dramatic story
― Οὖτις, Friday, 14 October 2016 20:19 (seven years ago) link
i only know the vague outline but it does seem pretty dramatic. that nyer story about the catfishing new orleans phone operator reminded me of it.
― The times they are a changing, perhaps (map), Friday, 14 October 2016 20:24 (seven years ago) link
Personally I'm not at all angry about the hoax. As people said above, the hoax part is only from, like, last year I think? And although I was sad about the possibility of it being true I don't think anyone was personally affected by it. We've had active members of the board die, so an object of a protomeme is not going to have the same impact. And it's not like this whole messageboard is about the picture and we thought about it every day - this place is huge and we have many other petty things to talk about. If you're new you probably haven't had a chance to participate in polling every single fucking list from every single fucking music magazine yet. (NB even though I think this is ridiculous I generally like the ILM polls and certainly don't begrudge anyone polling anything they want to, unlike some of the hardline grouches here.)

Finished listening a few minutes ago, and now I've been going back over the thread. I was still strictly ILM-only in 2006, so I missed the original frenzy, but I got up to speed later on.
I agree with someone upthread who said you don't have to know anything about the thread or even ILX to think that was a remarkable podcast episode. I applaud the considerable amount of work they put into it.

My wife knows Roxy and Nijoli casually IRL but has never been an ilxor. I have occasionally shown her ILX classix, like Bloomps and this thread. She is also a Reply All fan and likes to listen while doing her morning yoga, which she was doing this morning when this came on. She came into the bedroom to tell me and I said "You mean the photo [Roxy IRL] posted?" She hadn't realized that connection, so now she's all worlds-colliding.

Wow. Familiar with the thread and photo but must've missed all the other photos that were found but long since not showing itt, and the ensuing sherlocking of it all. Great, if slightly unnerving, podcast.

― kinder, Saturday, 15 October 2016 16:18 (seven years ago) link
Just listened to the podcast, I think I would've enjoyed it even without the ILX angle. But having followed the thread for 10 years it's pretty weird to have it exist now in another arena.
The transcript is a rich lode of board descriptions, but this is my favorite: " Just picture pages and pages of black text on a white background; everybody’s trying to outdo each other."
