As the starter of that thread, I alerted him to its existence on fb just a few minutes ago.

from making fun of Boston to writing about which children's movie cartoon character you'd want to fuck, he's written it all

damn matty p lookin like a snacc

someone shop a pineapple into the villain's hand

yikes, I forgot the whole personal appearance aspect to that particular pic but after scanning the thread... have to say I just thought it was funny that the icon image was him holding a pineapple

i never said about the guy on this thread but I was surprised to find him here after I started lurking/posting on ilx because he'd been on another board I'd frequented before finding ilx. Same posting style, same unrelentingly positive outlook about boosting whatever he was into. kind of felt like the early internet years where people who didn't know other people irl with the same interests and the ability to find a group /just for that thing/ on the internet was novel

the world needs some of that, I guess

wait what was your FMBB handle

FMBB4LYFE

the board was Barbelith, it's completely off the web now iirc but was originally fans of Grant Morrison's Invisibles comic series

oh yeah I knew that one too (although I didn't post there), mattybeebs linked it to FMBB more than once

but yeah, both are completely gone from the web, like they never existed

what was FMBB? sounds familiar

Fake Matador Bulletin Board

I don't think the real Matador Bulletin Board is online anymore either lol

i lurked on barbelith for years, it was grate

it was a bulletin-board style site similar to (but much uglier than) ILX for nerds to argue about 90s indie rock (Pavement, primarily). Morbz, Johnny Fever, and several other ILXors gradually migrated over here

xp

lol of course you were there, bg

it was relevant to my interests

in the days before wikipedia that was p useful for parsing Morrison's references

goths detected

i never had the patience required for the makeup tbh

lol no one's ever accused me of being a goth before

I don't even like Joy Division

Morrison's fanbase of that time was only part goth

at least compared to another Vertigo writer who'd wrapped up a series in the mid 90s

it's a continuum

show me a chart

most of the data is lost to the internet, i'll have to rely on guesswork and prejudice

on a scale of occasional guyliner to custom all-black wardrobe...

Fake Matador Bulletin Board

I don't think the real Matador Bulletin Board is online anymore either lol

It's long gone, though I sometimes still go to click it in my bookmarks and remember it's not there.

I don't even like Joy Division

the goth "I don't even own a television"

lol

I posted on Barbelith too (though not that much), and I've always been far from a goth. I assume Invisibles fans were probably more likely to be ravers, like the protagonists?

i never had the patience required for the makeup tbh

so you keep insisting, strangely urgently

stop harassing me, if i get even a little verklempt this eyeliner is done

FMBB - wow hadn't thought about that place in like a decade (was mostly a lurker). that and the Joos board were my go-tos

everyone here is goth, sorry

Bruh, how am I just now learning bg and mh were on Barbelith. I was a mod up in that mug, yo. Mind blown rn.

lmao what the fuck

were you haircare on barbelith too?

Arthur Sudnam, it was my Other Pseudonym.

i def remember that name! spent a few minutes earlier browsing through barbelith via the wayback machine - amazed at how many of those posters i remembered vividly

i think i might have ended up at ilx for the first time via it being mentioned offhandedly in a flux post, so i guess matty p is directly to blame for my benighted presence on this board
