ASK ME ANYTHING RE: The History of ILX

Here's the image in question:

http://kuci.org/~nraggett/nedwedding.jpg

My favourite moment was when the "tie" meme crossed over with the "imagine your pet in full military regalia" meme, with someone posting a pic where a pile of pancakes had replaced Ned in that suit.

It looks blue to me now, but I swear back then I thought it was purple! Has the image changed with the passing of years, or have I?

Oh, I know that pic.

I don't care if Ned's tie is black, blue, purple...

The important thing is the precious neck it is tied around.

That's a hell of a way to talk about his victims

what's the history of De Subjectivisten?

can someone recount the whole history of Luna?

She went oops and disappeared forever.

Something about not turning up at the airport, right?

what are the chances that she's still among us and we don't know it

what's the history of De Subjectivisten?

Informative thread here:
Luna

Sure felt like it at times. And then there was me, the perennial weirdo in love with '80s synthpop/New Wave.

can someone recount the whole history of Luna?

this has been done a million times!

yeah but this time its for a netflix series

I should make a podcast about the history of ilx, using everyone’s real names though obviously

also ftr i was a total dick/toxic af the way i went about "exposing" luna over a decade ago and def regret it and def would go about it differently if i could and feel like shit about it.

xp you and ned can make a tolkien/ILX hybrid podcast called Lord of the Zings

kurt=chaki? was always grateful for having someone put the stray pieces together wrt luna

is marcello real

marcello is very real :)

i agree with chaki as far as my own "work" on the luna thing, i got much more heated than normal on that tip.

crazy times ! this place changed a lot and i'm sure if that would have went down in the present it would have been very different all around.

i wouldn't feel too bad; it was pretty shady

ended up working out, bcz nabisco playing good cop to yr bad cop made a lot of ppl switch to taking it srsly

keep in mind i don't forgive her, after the dust settled a bit i discovered she apparently told some lies about me to a late ILXor and i assume no one ever pushed back against them before he passed away. it sucks since i liked that guy. however i would absolutely have gone about it a bit less aggro...i think i just snapped when i put a few things together.

Yeah, I dunno. I felt bad for a bit. But some of the (off-board) shit-posting / chat logs that came to light absolved me of my feelings. As did the financial impact of her pseudonymetry. Also, I got frustrated that she (and roxy) consistently confused me with another poster who was.... not my favorite.

btw happy anniversary everyone

Yo is it true Dom Passantino got permabanned by a moderator after a clusterfuck beef???

rip big man

wait why on earth would anyone forgive HER? maybe I'm missing something

luna aside, have there been any other similar scammers on ilx?

Not on ILX, but one of our beloved regulars did get p catfished online. ;_;

delaware never forget

I've been reading ILX since 2007 and had heard references to the Luna fiasco, but never spent the time to figure out what happened. Holy shit!

I have always been a little intimidated by all the seemingly smart people on ILX who know so much about music, movies, books, philosophy, etc. Let's just say that after reading about the Luna thing, I am no longer intimidated. That photo she posted of herself is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. Seriously, maybe I am just not a trusting person, but how the fuck could anyone have believed that was her?

i had forgotten that ilx was so traumatized by a catfish all those years ago.. kind of explains some of the lost moxie

Was guess papers a scam or someone looking to be scammed

never a real scam here, just happenstanceand looking to be scammed/pass their tests

Anyone know why Chaki nuked all his social media?
