ASK ME ANYTHING RE: The History of ILX

because crut discovered it and then they gave the board to him, iirc

the privacy/deindex part came later I think?

77 was always a hidden board. stet gave me mod privileges there & put my name in the board name as a gag/experiment after I found the other hidden boards: favorite hidden ILX board

IIRC, at the borad's inception, anyone with access to the board could invite any other ILXor, so it grew pretty quickly. Pretty soon controversial posters showed up and the site admins were forced to lay down some rules.

Now only mods have the power to add people to the board. I don't have mod powers there anymore because I abused them (undeleted a thread that another mod had deleted).

imo the real hidden board is the ILX sandbox.

Cue Groucho Marx on clubs.

i'm a member of 77 and can confirm that it's undermining the spirit of ilx. hate to break it to yall but tom d. is right

the exclusive content on 77 exceeds the "internet salon" of your wildest dreams. there is absolutely no watercooler talk, and so many great excelsior threads to have a laugh at. and yet because one has to ask to join, it means there is a step to join, so none of this delightful universe of content is available to someone who does not take that step. it makes me sad--sad for ilx, which is now unambiguously split into two groups, one superior (77 regulars) and one inferior (non-members of 77). i am sad for the inferiors though happy to be one of the superiors. it is, truly, bittersweet.

if anyone is looking for a 77 membership i have several for sale. skip the wait list and background/reference check. $4k or couples 2/$7k.

lol sounds just like high school

But is it any good?

Anyway...

Would you say that 77 covers the ground that the old "This is the thread where I say" threads used to?

Not at all

one day alex jones is going to break into 77 and do an expose about it that will BLOW EVERYBODY'S MIND

I want to see the faces of those who've just gotten their first exposure to 77 after years of ever-expanding expectations. (needle drops on 'Is That All There Is?')

Finally gets access to exclusive club, realizes it's just a quartet of septuagenarians in the boiler room of a Greek restaurant, playing pinochle in their bathrobes.

If only...

that's just the bronze tier, though </Frasier>

Still waiting on my damn VIP bottle service

There's Fresca in the minifridge, what more do you want

ehhh, this prison.... it's not so bad

I'm tired of hearing "77 is an elitist board where it's an exclusive club and blah blah blah..." talk. It is not.

Anyone with an ilx account that hasn't come from out of the fuckin blue is welcome to post on 77. The only catch to 77 is that it is de-indexed.

Not so people can fuckin gossip about shit. I'm going to break a rule and post some current threads running over there:

• Depression and anxiety and how we try to deal
• moments when you seriously believe all of popular culture has been reduced to fan service
• commiserate about your ptsd symptoms
• graphic design, 1986-94
• Tracksuit-clad-Mila-Kunis-grabs-solitary-caffeine-hit-way-pilates-class.html
• 77 thread for teachers who don't want to lose their jobs

Any of you old regulars who boo-hoo about the existence of 77, tell me where else sensitive topics like depression or ptsd should be discussed? Out in the open with the rest of our Googleable zany threads? Do you not see why that would be an issue?

Swear to God if you say "in a pub," I'm gonna FP you so fast.

huh weird i could swear i've seen the first and fourth of those threads, but i am not on 77. or am i?

I don't discuss my personal life or problems online so that side of 77 is of no use to me, I can see how that is of some value to people though.

doc casino - there's a non-77 version of the first of those threads. most of the recent posts consist of regulars encouraging people to come on over to 77 - what with the stigma still attached to mental illness people don't necessarily feel comfortable going into detail about it on the public internet

if i go to Boards i can see 77 and view all the threads. does that mean i'm on 77?

I believe that's what that means, yes.

Unless it's a trap.

Tell me, do u see a tantalizing hunk of cheese which seems weirdly out of place

lol yes

moments when you seriously believe all of popular culture has been reduced to fan service

what's the logic for a thread like this to be on 77 rather than ILE?

Come over and find out!

Many many non sequitur ILXor nudes iirc

so did i get added to 77 at some point? or did i ask for it and completely erase this memory?

Maybe you were always there, Doctor. Maybe 77 is you.

i am a doolly appointed federuhl postuh

I don't discuss my personal life or problems online

tbf half of ilm is people doing exactly this, they're just couching it in language that makes it look like they're commenting on popular music

now i wanna see a bunch of ilxors do their best to write fake reviews where they are clearly discussing their own life shit

(don't send me "real" ones, i mean, i want ilxors to do these as a joke)

Did anyone mention M1ke Stuchb3ry/Mikey Bidness as a semi-notable former ILXor?

i didn't know he was an ilxor but he's getting RT'd to my timeline a LOT after getting doxxed and confronted by a famous white ethnonationalist cunt a week or so ago

Someone I follow just retweeted him, which is what reminded me.

i didn't know mikeybidness was famous.

jaymc have you always kept the same xls file updated or has it gone through several iterations

I like the idea of a secret cabal that I'm not permitted access to. Otherwise, this would just be a webforum stuck with 1990s design, packed with music journos, and born of usenet's rec.music.alternative.

I mean... he has approx. the same # of Twitter followers as ghost rider.

johnny blaze, danny ketch, or robbie reyes?

i'd like that graphic design thread to be on ile, or to just remember to request 77 access

but that's where we talk all the trash on regular ilxors

did mikeybidness live in australia?

yes, he's on some old mongrel/sheepfuxor threads

(but now lives in the uk)

amazed by these posts
