valuable new posters

i don't read travel threads either! honestly there's probably a lot of awful shit people say that i miss because it's in the middle of a conversation about the cure or something

Could have done with him in the Belle & Sebastian thread.

fold yr hands child you bone like a peasant

The poster that infinity symbol most reminded me of was Calum

Hopefully he’s on to better things. In the cold light of day, I feel like we should lay off infinity sign. If he’s reading this it can’t feel good... even if he was troll-y

I was shit talking too so i’m not throwing stones. Just feel like it should be remembered he never made this a hostile place.

Ban fake treeship

xp
imo you are wrong about that, but I'm not going to spend time digging through old posts for evidence

Yeah he was noxious

I mean it is obviously nice to think he stopped posting because he suddenly got a job or a girlfriend or simply grew up, and if he’s lurking that is very sad (for him I mean - obv it is happier for us than him posting); I’d feel bad about pointing out his inadequacies in the very low-stakes game of being popular on the unpopular messageboard ilx if it weren’t for the fact that he was clearly kind of a prick

I found him good natured usually. He was glad to be ilx's house churl/boor though and that's never been welcomed here fbow

i'm sorry, i'm missing something - did they self-ban or something?

it’s a low stakes game but they play for keeps — ilx the movie. xp

Retired, karl. And claimed they were not an individual but a collective.

ilx is funny like that, most places embrace content-free boorishness

ah, thanks treeship

a collective? ok, gotta go re-read the thread, sorry

Maybe not in fancy england wins but here in america blah blah etc xp

The thing is ilx has a lot of beloved/behated one-note trolls but this one was just particularly rubbish at what he was trying to do, which is why this is the first and only time he has really been discussed (and only now thanks to a deems bored conspiracy theory)

He borrowed the joke from dayo in 2013. Not worth rereading imo xp

"Our little project was not without its faults, of course, but we are just regular guys after all. A few did not stay in character and posted as regular users, developing bonds and connections that were not the team's initial intent. That was to be expected, though, as this was purely voluntary and done on downtime."

lol, this explains so much! sometimes i'd interact with infinity and they'd be totally nice! and then they'd be a total asshole other times, and then soon afterward i'd forget what their deal was and repeat the whole cycle

There were a few days last year where he seemed to be sexually harrassing me. That was weird.

“As a joke,” i guess but bad joke. Forget the specifics

Good lord Karl, it wasn’t a collective

I miss banaka

He said something nasty in reference to a poster’s personal history kind of recently, which I don’t think really hit as hard as he hoped and said more about himself than his target.

Good lord Karl, it wasn’t a collective

oh, ok.
well, i guess at this point i'll join the chorus of people who conclude "...who cares about any of this"

wins otm. discussing him this much now is some Philippides shit

i am more interested in that metaphor, tbh

There is no “I” we are all a collective, as infinity sign once said with trademark eloquence

My usual rule of thumb is to never acknowledge or interact w/anyone when they’re begging for attention or desperately trying to be controversial.

Also if 77 is considered by many a board for more personal content that will remain on the low, maybe quite seriously make sure the posters who are allowed on there aren’t potential creeps.

I realize we’re all potentially creeps

Yeah like 77 can never be “vetted”

I found him good natured usually. He was glad to be ilx's house churl/boor though and that's never been welcomed here fbow

oh idk its a living yknow

please send a scan of your drivers license, social security card, and passport to me along with some references and I will set up your verified 77 profile

omar otm re 77 we let in some v dodgy characters and its rly not wise to treat it any differently than any other part of ilx, save that on-board it's treated with a bit more respect

course everything is v no after you no no after you now so even that probly doesnt hold

i am more interested in that metaphor, tbh

lol, this was an indefensible stretch tbrr, but basically we won the battle against giving this guy attention, let's not celebrate by giving him tons of attention

Oh, gotcha! I was thinking that infinity was the relatively unknown courier, finally achieving some sort of fame/recognition just before dying

Oh hold on, is this all about some 77 shit?

no

We really need a dedicated ILX autoproctology thread

Tonight, we look back at the highs and lows of dearly departed ILX poster name of infinity symbol. Join us, won't you, on this heart smart journey as some of your favorite ILXors share their insight and reflections on one of the more controversial members of our community. Sponsored by Huggies.

i like the fact that the board is steeped in rumors and lore

if you thought everyone's opinions on the latest hyped acts were spicy, wait til you see their opinions on each other!

the outtakes and the spittakes, that's what sells dvds

∞ was one of my favorite posters of the past few years and I'm sad to see him go, but it's understandable. The announcement itself was a little weird, to be sure. sleepingbag is another longtime favorite ilxor though, and if esby is him, then I'm glad to see him back after his hiatus.
