I must admit I never think of anyones racial or religious make up on here. I have no idea what most people look like.

what ILM definitely needs is more posts about music people don't love

The rolling worst music thread gets bumped every few weeks.
― MarkoP, Friday, 10 July 2015 15:58 (eight years ago) link
if ILM being "loud" requires new posters then I'd expect it to continue to be quiet as the amount of money spent on music per person continues to decline (assuming that's true? it feels true, isn't that a enough of a standard for a post?)
dunno about ILE, I took it off SNA a long time ago, only check it once or twice a day (plus whatever threads I've bookmarked)
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 10 July 2015 16:05 (eight years ago) link
money might be spent less but with streaming services/youtube etc being free its probably never been listened to more.

I don't hate "music chat" cause I like music & conversation but I rarely post to ilx, just find I don't personally have much to say

I've been posting to ilx a fair bit lately but no-one ever takes any notice of anything I say, which is fair enough

Any reason why ILM is so quiet these days?Maybe it's because PC Music haven't done anything/anything stupid lately ;)

Makes sense! I guess the thing (for white dudes) is developing the judgment to stay on the right side of paying attention.

It often takes me a long time to figure out what people are talking about on ilxor. So many in-jokes and things you only understand if you go to certain threads. I'm guessing LJ, l0u1s jagg3r and Imago are all the same person?
And FAR TOO MUCH abbreviations and acronyms that are really difficult to search for. I assume people are using them so much because they are posting from their phones?
It's hardly the most aggressive forum but there's still a lot of rudeness that might turn people away but I don't know if the alternatives are much more friendly or if most people care that much about politeness.
I don't get the appeal of the regular Taking Sides threads. It seems pointless. Especially when two bands are compared.

All collected data had come to a final end. Nothing was left to be collected.
But all collected data had yet to be completely correlated and put together in all possible relationships.
A timeless interval was spent in doing that.
And it came to pass that System learned how to reverse the direction of entropy.
But there was now no man to whom System might give the answer of the last question. No matter. The answer -- by demonstration -- would take care of that, too.
For another timeless interval, System thought how best to do this. Carefully, System organized the program.
The consciousness of System encompassed all of what had once been a Universe and brooded over what was now Chaos. Step by step, it must be done.
And System said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT!"

I'd like to see more threads dedicated to individual records. The rolling threads served a purpose back when ILM was at its busiest and the genre-specific threads are great for checking out, for example, the latest afrobeats or trap tunes, but there's rarely that much in the way of discussion and when there is, it's generally the same four or five posters doing an inside-baseball thing.
