btw, I meant this thread kinda srs (like, I actually stand by my estimation - even tho it is largely arbitrary), but mostly in the lighthearted sense of a parody thread, in light of all the B4 threads of recent vintage. So yall can get meticulously analytical and/or butthurt if u feel so inclined, but know that it was not in such a spirit that this was meant!

Best thing about most of these inclusions is that they're prone to the sort of multi-paragraph considered thinkpost that kill debates with how OTM they are, and then you have Ned who is impossible to leave out because he has the power to just post an emoticon and have everyone go "Yes! Ned OTM"
― Matt DC, Thursday, 14 April 2011 09:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Nabisco would be high up in a list of "posters who have influenced the posting styles and argumentative approaches of ILX" (in ways beyond mere phrases like "OTM" - of which Nabisco was beneficiary 10 billion times more than user).
There's probably been a thread on that topic.
In that regard I would say:
Nabisco - top shelf logicEthan - top shelf trollingNed - top shelf largesseDog Latin - top shelf challops
My second division would be:
Some Dude - top shelf balloon-puncturingGeir - top shelf posts consistently in characterSinker - top shelf equation-speakDave Q - top shelf contraristanning
Most other posters are combos of the above, e.g. Lex = Nabsico X Geir, Vahid = Nabisco X Ethan, rtc = Ethan X Dave Q.

instead of a big 4 posters imo we should work out the big 4 differences ILM has from other music communities
here's my effort
- poptimism was won so long ago and so firmly that pop is kind of ancient lore & rite here, not something new and exotic that we're suddenly allowed to like. this puts ILM at odds with other communities that I've seen going through the same wars we did 15 years ago
- by far the best EOY polls & celebrations in existence
- absolute intolerance of fatuous thinking, which is mostly a positive but also sometimes i do feel a tiny, tiny bit sorry for the Turricans of this earth. adapt or die tho tbh, i did
- definite progressive agenda forcing regular posters to go without their usual anglocentric listening habits (while also still catering to the latter plenty) - again, a v good thing, even if u all diss indie 2 much sometimes
― imago, Friday, 6 November 2020 18:28 (three years ago) link
anglocentric/manocentric. an ilx alltime canon would be much, much more female than almost all the other canons, and frankly, good
