Hey Googler, what brings you to ILX?

any explanation for why HO WBEAUTIFUL IS THE GENTLYFALLINGBLOOD? has been at or near the top of most read threads for the last weeek?

I think it's self-explanatory, really.

CUZ ITS WBEAUTIFUL?

Mostly people googling "GentlyFallingBlood"

also "Alex Macpherson". That has been constant all day.

!!!!!!!!

er...does that often happen, or was it just...that article?

not very often, but sometimes, yeah!

current top hits: "best beloved tuppence", "i prefer the lindstrom remix", "singing detective"site:ilxor.com/ilx and "whippet on a pikestaff"

^^ of these the most tremendous, most awe inspiring, most deeply affecting is "whippet on a pikestaff". The others shrink to insignifigance beside it.

does anyone have the "i prefer the lindstrom remix" new yorker cartoon saved?

singing detective? am i missing a thread on that?

maybe you should google for it

We should def be talking about it.

otm and otm

Google doesn't find anything. So peeps have been hunting for a thread, failing to find and not starting one?? For shame!

Bloody zing, innit

I googled "I drank a bottle of whiskey". first result is an ilx thread

Mostly people googling "GentlyFallingBlood"

really?

yup. tiny trickle from tumblr and blogspot, but mostly googlers

it said 10,000 reads at one point last week!!

wonder what made all those people google that?

oh wait, i'm only looking at the external stuff. the majority of these hits are coming from inside the house ILX. Checking

I think Mike Hanle y is running some kind of experiment.

The phrase "How beautiful is the gently falling blood" reminds me of reading of a heroin user (possibly famous?) who always injected above a bath of water as the gently falling drips of blood hitting the water and forming "blood flowers" just as he was getting high was the most beautiful/cool/fucked up thing.

Think I did come in via google after looking up some French avant-folk-psych singer whose name I can't remember. From what I recall I should have bought the cd which was still reasonably cheap at the time.

How is "How beautiful is the gently falling blood" the only single hit on google? Deserves more recognition tbh.

Woah I missed this. That was my SN at one stage :/ Tho it was based off something another far more likely to be googled ilxor had said, so who knows.

you guys stet said 'checking' 2h ago and we haven't heard back

do you think something happened to him? prob vampire-related? this is all v. mysterious

I checked, I banned, I went.

my blog has seen a spike in traffic for people searching "mexican hipsters" all week

hey googler

They came for the mexican hipsters, but stayed for the HOOS.

I checked, I banned, I went.

Thursday, February 16, 2012 1:48 PM Site flopson and jetsam (unregistered) has been banned permanently.

not to be all "mods r dicks" but dude is a regular poster-- is a permaban for goofing w/ statscock really worth it?

or was it messing w/ the server?

Yeah, it was -- he was running a one-man DoS. More than a million hits from his IP, and it was still running. Only way to stop him was to boot his IP.

I've also put in some other stuff to stop it happening again. When goofing with the server turns into three hours of work for me, yeh he's getting banned. Don't fuck with our server.

wow

lmao why was he doing that

that seems random

Wau wtf! Why would someone ddos ilx?

It could maybe be sthing else he was trying to do and some automation or app went mad, I suppose.

dos ddos mis amigos
