(ie slice it doon the middle at around the 2007-2008 point)
xp that sounds like a standard boredoms experience tbh

is the nu-ilx dividing line revisionism. the old divider used to be "back when anyone could start a board" or something.

feel like the creation of 77 was a dividing line
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:51 (five years ago) link
i forget that there are people who are not on 77

mookie - that happened around 2007 too iirc

77, never been interesed in it, what's the point of it?

You’re not on there? So weird. We talk about you a lot.
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 22:27 (five years ago) link
xp. de-indexed, you have to ask for an invite. so not as public as rest of ilx - there are some de-indexed threads on the rest of ilx of course
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 22:29 (five years ago) link
Yeah, but why is it there?
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 22:32 (five years ago) link
because crut discovered it and then they gave the board to him, iirc
the privacy/deindex part came later I think?
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 22:33 (five years ago) link
People can talk about things they wouldn’t want on a public forum. Still risky but you know
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 22:33 (five years ago) link
OK. I'm not going to do that anyway so it's not for me.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 22:35 (five years ago) link
I can see how that would potentially have changed ILX radically.

I was at the Big Hunt the other week and felt nostalgic for glory days if ilxDC.

Also nostalgia for the sandbox days. When was that?

I am joking about you saying you have no interest in X and then immediately asking about X
― steven, soda jerk (sic), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:04 (five years ago) link
I er think that might be a rhetorical last clause there, sic
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:05 (five years ago) link
Tom's followup suggests he was asking in good, if disinterested, faith
the joke stands either way though!
― steven, soda jerk (sic), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:08 (five years ago) link
Good, if disinterested, faith sums it up. Mostly I think I hate the idea of asking for permission to join something or be nominated to join something, or whatever the process is.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:11 (five years ago) link
the creation of 77 was not it, tom always acts completely bewildered by it and thats a decade old now
the mod action against ask chaki is the actual answer
modern ilx is the result of that decision between two factions (wrong choice obv)

xp it’s about as much of a request as asking a friend if they’d grab you a drink while they’re already going to the kitchen
― mh, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:21 (five years ago) link
If you mean bcs of the potential for ppl talking behind backs there was already fuckloads of that going on thanks to AIM chats, but anyway.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:22 (five years ago) link
Yeah, well, I wasn't involved in any of that either. The idea of a second, exclusive, invitation only board running parallel to ILX has got to have had some impact surely?
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:24 (five years ago) link
nope
― ~mine own~ bitcoin (darraghmac), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:25 (five years ago) link
Don't believe it. But, what the fuck do I know tbf.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:27 (five years ago) link
lol Tom I don’t think anyone that ever asked to be put on there was denied
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:28 (five years ago) link
The asking is the sticking point.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:29 (five years ago) link
That and I don't agree with the principle behind it anyway.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:30 (five years ago) link
You’re right It should be like a test or something xp
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:30 (five years ago) link
for reference there are 5 threads from 77 on site new answers currently out of about 200.

not an attack at all on yourself man but you really are stuck on this is all
― ~mine own~ bitcoin (darraghmac), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:35 (five years ago) link
the principle is just having a place that’s ungoogleableit’s never been for talking behind regulars backsThe idea of a second, exclusive, invitation only board running parallel to ILX has got to have had some impact surely?It only exists bcz crütis discovered a whole bunch of exclusive boards that already existed and asked for one of his own and stet said “sure”
― steven, soda jerk (sic), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:50 (five years ago) link
Not really, I think I've only ever posted about it two or three times, and this is probably the most sustained bit of posting I've ever done on it. And that's, as you say, over a decade.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:52 (five years ago) link
tbf it’s be *offered* via a thread over the years and posting on the thread as a regular is more of a “yes, i’m interested” and not an *ask* per sesomeone just give Tom some access to 77 and then force him to ask his way back off imo
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:06 (five years ago) link
lol tom one of yr defining characteristics is moaning aabout what 77 and sna might be but never checking either out

SNA is for people who are super catholic in their tastes or who are disorganized
― Dan S, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:22 (five years ago) link
wait until you notice the travesty that is "blog view"
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:24 (five years ago) link
Blog view is the best feature of ilx, it's too bad it craps out on the reg.
― Top Gut Doctor: I Beg ILXors To FP This Vegetable (WmC), Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:26 (five years ago) link
or who are disorganized
how is it disorganised to curate the boards you want to see, in one convenient place
― steven, soda jerk (sic), Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:27 (five years ago) link
My opposition to sna lasted about a week! I can't even remember what my problem with it was.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:31 (five years ago) link
Xp didn’t realize SNA was curatable. I thought it was just a running list of the most recently updated threads
― Dan S, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:32 (five years ago) link
the most recently updated, among boards you pickI have sna covering all boards I look at other than ilm, then look at ilm on its own
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:33 (five years ago) link
ok I see now that you can customize view
