ILM is kinda sucking these days (boring and meta ignore not safe for work)

Maybe we need more threads about bands you've never heard of, or songs you like when you're drunk?

I can't understand all this poll hate at all. The polls are the main interesting new thing on ILM because they haven't been done before. ILMers seem irrationally afraid of having redundant threads, so we get one giant thread about a band which, if you haven't been on the board since like 2001 means that you have to read through the opinions of a bunch of people, many don't even post anymore, just to understand where the thread is at 7 years later. Fuck that.

At least with polls there's the chance to stimulate a new conversation with active posters on an old topic, plus you get the extra benefit of knowing exactly where those sufficiently motivated to register and click a button stand on the topic. The main problem comes in when people include too many choices and make their polls meaningless.

"Maybe we need more threads about bands you've never heard of, or songs you like when you're drunk?"

definitely. but i'm only one person. i do what i can.

in any case, here's a picture of that guy again:

the best polls so far are the lines from rap song polls! as to what wins or loses - i mean, there's no compendium of these things.

All of this poll shit is out of hand.

they can't all look intersting

*sigh*

Or maybe I'm so ridiculously bored at this stupid job that it can never possibly satisfy me.

feeln u dogg last week i tried to revive a bunch of threads about hip-hop & white ppl but nobody was interested

was sucking at the time seward wrote that. not now.

but yeah people still insist in doing some silly polls

I was gonna start a Nicodemus thread (not the riddims dude), but I didn't know how to give it an angle, except for 'ayo... how bout this Nicodemus dude?'

rolling vinyl thread, non-indie underground PUNK thread, MS records thread, and world music threads thrivin!

hey now dont leave rolling metal out there mang

No, it's just me, I'm sure.

It's been better than 2008 for sure

Just curious--and this is coming from one of the all-time great thread assassins* Anyway, I'm sure I'm this for others, but does anyone else have particular posters that you reflexively recoil from? (NO NAMES PLEASE) like they drive you crazy? I think I'm projecting my own shit on them, but god, this person posts everywhere and makes me crawl up the wall....

*I would say people comment on maybe 1 in 20 of my posts, although sometimes a thread of mine will do sort of well.

all of them.

name names xp

fwiw i'm really enjoying ilm these days for the most part. thank u bookmarks!

I'm really sorry for posting in all the ILM threads : (

It's Ned isn't it

paranoid now

*conspicuously avoids posting on thread*

iago galdston that is a terrible, terrible post for a number of reasons, chiefly that i opened this thread hoping to see a proper moan about the traxpoll results ;)

now have your clusterfuck

It's Ned isn't it

*camera closes in*

Soon.

Maybe this is a bad idea when things have been low-conflict lately, at least on the threads I've been reading.

iago u need to harvest that impulse to recoil

Ha ha, I didn't mean to but I guess I got a response for once! Meta-meta

I meant he posts all over ILE in addition to ILM--I didn't phrase that right. It's nobody who's responded here though! ;)

Clue 1: male

I could've changed the gender though, but I would never, ever say. No one has affirmed or denied having this feeling though (even though i'm probably rocketing up the charts with this little riddle)

Iago Galdston
Strongo
Matt P
乒乓
polyphonic
NickB
imago
Raggett
Rudipherous
flopson

don't say it... just savagely zing them next time u run into them in a thread...

i think, sadly, that you might want to take the strike mark off old iago g.'s name. i'm pretty sure i'm projecting my own issues onto him/her.

ach that old twist ending eh, 'it was himself all along'

sing another one

consistently worst taste in music on ILM

乒乓 is unstrikeoutable

hey nickb why didn't you cross me out

I should think of a really weird, distinctive word, give it to you guys, and when you see a mystery poster use it in a response, you'll know exactly who i mean

because you really are the worst xp

that word is....travertine.

rolling 2008 list thread for shit to keep mccain from becoming president

does anyone else have particular posters that you reflexively recoil from?

Heh...yeah. (longer answer deleted)

there are always going to be people who rub you the wrong way, he said gingerly.

what the travertine is going on in here?

there are several who REALLY make me want to start an @ILXTXT twitter account.

if you think it would be better and more accurate than 'solitary posts that etc etc', then you should totally go for it

clue: it wouldn't be

bit defensive there lol m9
