whatever im just saying i think that adding this new church board would be a slippery slope to us having 80 different boards on the front of ilx by this time next year
giving kbp a board made sense because a. he is annoying b. he used to be a board mod, but adding boards like the church would be stupid
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 June 2008 00:54 (fifteen years ago) link
c. giving him a board cut down on the amount of times the mods needed to deal with an asinine kbp mod req
idk the church just seems like ask a drunk to me
DG deserves a board y/n
why don't we start a thread "posters who deserve boards"
and then someone can start the inevitable parody "posters who deserve broads"
and then i go to bed a shaken man

we didn't dump IDME because masonic kate left and we shouldn't dump chaki because chaki "bowed out". in fact i suggest IDME as the new church.
― omar little, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 00:56 (fifteen years ago) link
IDME isn't named Ask Masonic Kate, though
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 00:57 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah j, ordering based on threads or posts or whatever
lol omar
most posters do not want boards, i am guessing. it is surely a very heavy cross to bear. enuff w/ this slippery slope bs. hail to the church.
― deeznuts, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 00:57 (fifteen years ago) link
To j0rdan: that's partly why we had this idea and are bringing it to you folks. there is no longer a need for "Ask Chaki!" (or "Ask I am Robocop" for that matter) but ppl seem to be generally enthused about having a new board called The Church, this way we can give them the new board without establishing a precedent that could lead to, as you say, "80 different boards on the front of ilx."
which really we try to be fair and consistent but "precedent" hardly matters to be honest - at the heart of it there is no accountability besides what we demand of ourselves out of conscience (and u kno this)
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 00:59 (fifteen years ago) link
nah i mean i don't care about how many boards there are all that much, i'm just wondering out loud and obtusely if all it takes to get a board is three people with a hair brained idea and a few others willing to play along
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 June 2008 01:01 (fifteen years ago) link
if so then w/e also YAHH board
The function of "The Church" would be as per The Reverend's request here:
please create new board "The Church"
why because it sound interesting. Ideally its function would be just as the reverend said:
The Church should be a place where any members of ILX suffering a crisis of faith or needing spiritual guidance can seek expert advice from ILX clergy.
On-topic, for ecumenical matters only, but not necc. serious w/this.
Also, ideally it would just be for this and not a load of meta-ish gibbering as per some of the other small boards.
At this point we're not too keen on further proliferation of sub-boards.

if ask chaki goes i want idme to be "ask omar little" and then when i leave pass along the board title to someone else
― omar little, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 01:03 (fifteen years ago) link
like it could then become "ask sanskrit"
or whoever

ok i mean if u guyz really think that real ilx posters and not heave ho's trolls and grady's sock puppets are going to be clamoring to the reverend and abbot looking for actual religious advice and "guidance" so often that it can't be covered in a rolling thread then by all means

lets not try to whitewash our history -- chaki contributed so much to these boards and went out like icarus, flying too close to the sun -- i for one will never forget him and i wholeheartedly oppose renaming the board that has given ilx so many lols

what's the appropriate analogy for people who think that "chaki" is coming back when ilx stops being "lame"?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 June 2008 03:01 (fifteen years ago) link
i vote that "ask chaki" remains "ask chaki" for the eventual lols when new people ask who chaki is and we attempt to explain.

so we've gone from the suggestion of

- renaming an unrelated, existing one
- replacing an unrelated, existing one and locking all existing threads.
three easy steps.
who's first to suggest deletion of all existing threads?
