I did both A and B 'cause I can't make up my mind ever

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 14:54 (twenty years ago) link

I like RJG's post. Or do I?

I didn't really like early ilx.

Was there a thread on ILM which started the breakaway?

From what I have heard tell of the schism, I think of it like the way the District line came to outgrow the Metropolitan line, even though the District was instigated by the Met. I suspect not many people have considered the similarlities between the formation of ILE and the early underground transport network.

"I love Books" is the Jubilee line of ILX..

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:15 (twenty years ago) link

I like the direction this thread is taking!

So what's the Waterloo and City of ILX, then?

― Psycho Kate (kate), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:16 (twenty years ago) link

"Shouts for the Moderator" board. obv...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:19 (twenty years ago) link

But the Moderator board is actually useful!

― Psycho Kate (kate), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:21 (twenty years ago) link

And so occasionally is the W&C!

Although I've never taken too long getting off the moderator request board and ended up stuck down the tunnel until it runs again...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:22 (twenty years ago) link

Nah, I think of the Moderator board as more like an overground. Probably not the DLR, but more like Silverlink. Quite slow, there's never a moderator around when you need one, but it goes to all sorts of useful places you wouldn't normally think of getting to by tube...

Weirdly I was going to post ILB and the Jubilee Line. Mark beat me to it.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:24 (twenty years ago) link

It's not weird if its true...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:25 (twenty years ago) link

OK, take two..

The Waterloo and City line of ILX is....

"the Pimf my ryde" threads...

Theres not that many of them, but they are PACKED with people you have never seen before...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:26 (twenty years ago) link

No, it's weird looking at the boards and seeing something written that you are intending to write, then thinking I must have already written it, then thinking my name isn't Mark Grout.

Course it's true, all shiny and new.

x-post

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:28 (twenty years ago) link

More weird is thinking about posting something to a thread, only to find the same comment already posted by yourself, two months ago...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:30 (twenty years ago) link

I blame wormholes

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:34 (twenty years ago) link

I was "here" from the beginning, but I remember being suspicious of the upstart board. I don't think I had been on ILM long, and departing from the impersonal and comforting world of music discussions seemed a bit scary.

It also seemed very jokey in a way, suddenly being able to apply search & destroy, classic or dud, etc. threads to things like toothpaste.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:35 (twenty years ago) link

So, ILM is the Bakerloo line, and ILE is the Circle line...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:39 (twenty years ago) link

I blame wormholes

I read that as "I blame wombles".

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:40 (twenty years ago) link

you're obsessed

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:44 (twenty years ago) link

I read Mark's post as I Blame Wormholes, so parity restored.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:45 (twenty years ago) link

.. and I read it as "I bum wormholes" so whatever...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 15:49 (twenty years ago) link

I lurked for a couple of weeks, then took a deep breath and introduced myself to you all like this :

The ILE bar is now open..............

Blimey, nearly two years ago now!

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago) link

For the first couple of years I was consistently top ten, I've tailed of a bit over the last year or so, as I'm not good enough and don't have much to say.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 17:11 (twenty years ago) link

I sort of gravitated over here from ILM because I like the variety and find people less pompous, posted about whatever I wanted to as I didn't know anyone anyway, still don't really know barely anyone on the board, and tend to go through heavy periods of use interspersed with complete abstention for weeks or months.

― webcrack (music=crack), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 19:54 (twenty years ago) link

I still have a hard time caring what everyone's wearing today.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 21:19 (twenty years ago) link

except for you, RJG.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 21:28 (twenty years ago) link

It's all about leprechaun hairdos.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 21:29 (twenty years ago) link

Mostly B for me, though Jordan's experience is eerily similar to my own. Lurked during the Greenspun era, gradually delurked on wh3rd.

― O.Leee.B. (Leee), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 21:39 (twenty years ago) link
