If ILX has become an intolerable hellhole recently due to insufficient banning, it has escaped my notice.

not really sure where else to post this without feeling awkward, but: our house on lawton street caught fire last week. my roommate's room, our kitchen and living room were totally wiped out, ditto the upstairs kitchen and living room, and every bedroom in the house got at least some measure of smoke and water damage. everybody has had to move out and is in the process of extracting and trying to clean/save anything not blatantly soaked and sooted to the bone. this has not really been very fun in a lightless house with face masks and headlamps. the worst thing of all is that our cat passed away of smoke inhalation, which i really don't even want to talk about. we're hoping it was quick and relatively painless.
i say all this as a preamble to, there is a gofundme for all us housemates (save Shuj4 H41d3r who lived downstairs of me - if you follow him on twitter you know he got his act together sooner to set up a fundraiser [plus had separate additional expenses to deal with] and has also shared this one). i hardly would ask any of y'all internet cats here to donate but please consider sharing, and more in the spirit of ILX, coming out to the bar-room fundraisers this friday! happy hour at marcos (broadway & malcolm x) from 2 to 8 followed by band showcase at The Gateway from 8:00 on. come have a drink, bring your friends, spread the word! i will be the frequently unshaven man wearing stupid hipster aviator glasses.

I think the way Turrican has (miraculously) survived so far is by *posting intensively only occasionally and only in certain specialist threads and posting blandly and uncontroversially in lots of others the rest of the time - even I don't mind him when he does that. Also he only posts on ILM, I doubt he would survive long if he posted anywhere else. I think I'm right in saying Turrican only survived his last scare because his FPs were widely distributed and some were now considered 'out of date' - I don't how that mechanism works. Fred has made mistake in the past of posting intensively more frequently in threads that were well populated and were about something more profound than what guitars George Harrison played on "Abbey Road" - thus running up a lot of FPs in a shorter period.
(*for 'posting' here read 'annoying people')
― Scottish Country Twerking (Tom D.), Friday, 17 August 2018 14:32 (five years ago) link
i wouldn't say nobody cared fred, at least 51 people did. good to know that having a large portion of the active positing population here wanting you to be forcibly prevented from posting has not chastened you at all tho.
