Why do YOU still have ILM in Site New Answers?

I still could go a couple of different ways about which Steely Dan song I like best.

the open circle thing means i only have to read the threads i want to read

i can understand not finding any value in ILM's chatter about music, but i dunno if ILE's chatter about film, politics, food, etc. is intrinsically better in any way.

idk man it's a lot less prone to preciousness, snideness, keyholder-type behaviours imo

we ile'rs seem to realise that we're not doing anything *important*

lmao (laughing my ass off)

what are we going to do about i love music, is music just not discussable anymore?

idk man it's a lot less prone to preciousness, snideness, keyholder-type behaviours imo

nice sarcasm, dude!

every time i look up an ILE thread about a movie i liked, 90% of the thread consists of 3-5 of the same posters saying "this was terrible"

stunned that 'Eagles listening thread' was not a poll option

xpost and ILM is not the same way?

ilm is way friendlier than ile these days

yeah that is def true

... I think the point was that ILE isn't as different from ILM as some fondly imagine.

it's hard to tell what the point is tbh

Marcos' point that I meant

That??!!/?

can't even remember which thread tipped me over the edge tbh.

sure there's good and bad across (most of) the boards. sometimes the worst, most blithering, precious assholeness runs amok on ilm tho.

other times no doubt it runs elsewhere.

i firmly believe that blithering precious assholeness can run amok on multiple threads on multiple boards simultaneously

i guess i still care about music, i probly miss a lot of the other shit

i'll take straight up assholeness over covert sock trolling any day
it's more honest for starters

Well, yeah.

:D

What is the most assholish stuff on ilm? All I can think of are whiney/deej beefs in the rap thread and I don't even know if those guys do that anymore.

yea it's a pretty friendly place imo. at least the places i frequent there.

i guess "worst music writing" can get pretty caustic sometimes, though it's usually directed outward and not at other posters.

Plenty of ILM threads with barely anyone posting on them

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

looks about right

I think the Grand Budapest Hotel movie was the only time this did not happen.

someone liked that piece of shit?

thinking abt taking ILE outta my SNA for a while

look at ILM, there's hardly any threads posted on each day. Mostly under 20 but ILE has 3 times as much (mostly about Trump)

Go back in time and ILM had a lot more new or active threads. Now everyones on ILE talking about Trump.

lol

ilx died when bores like deems^ arrived

I'll cede the point but I want to get a few of my own pet projects on the platform first

good idea

I do wonder now how many don't have ILM on their SNA as it would explain so much.

I just need a couple of new sub boards (I Love Weather, I Love Mass Transit) and I’ll quit ILE. The politics threads I can take or leave, but it’s the tv and movie threads bogging down ILE that are the worst for me.

I thought TV and Movies would have had their own subthreads, but then ILE would have fewer new answer threads than ILM

i love music

Fuckin hell, 18 years on this board to find out this is possible? Goodbye ILE I hardly knew ye etc.

lol

specific user such as imago

Would ILE be improved if politics had its own board because the regular top of new answers is full of US politics threads and that must put off a lot of people.

oh FFS not this again

Music was my first love
And it will be my last.
Music of the future
And music of the past.

To live without my music
Would be impossible to do.
In this world of troubles,
My music pulls me through.

Music was my first love
And it will be last.
Music of the future
And music of the past
And music of the past
And music of the past.

Music was my first love
And it will be my last.
Music of the future
And music of the past.

To live without my music
Would be impossible to do.

My music pulls me through.

could move politics threads to ILM and solve all opinions

xps

LEARN HOW TO USE GODDAMN SNA YOU PHILISTINES

JUST UNCHECK THE LITTLE BOX NEXT TO ILE

IT'S ALL JUST TRUMP ANYWAY

BUT ALSO IF YOU'RE MAD ABOUT NOT FINDING COOL FREE SHIT ON THE INTERNET FOR YOU TO READ YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT ADDING COOL FREE SHIT ON THE INTERNET FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE

By this logic the number of 'Remember The 80s/90s' polls on ILM could be putting off a lot of people too.

I LOST MY HEARING IN '89 SO NOW I JUST YELL

true, it could, but boredom always means hey lets start a poll as at least people respond

xp

a separate politics board would be healthier for sure, like relocating your booze to a neighbor's house

hard not to drop in for a tipple when it's staring you right in the face

polls are worse than trump sorry if this offends

Have always had ILE off my SNA. Site is so much more navigable that way

But does anyone on here actually love politics?

it's real easy to not read the us politics thread, the democratic primary one is more fun and I bully people if they try to talk about trump

xxp polls are necessary for consolidating nu-ilx hivemind and alerting users to impermissable thoughts

All the “Best Song of May 1992 From My Mixtape I Lost in My Geo Prism” Polls are the worst.

I keep thinking of starting 20-30 polls slicing the same songs as every other poll into microfine combinations until everyone just gives it up, but people would probably eat that shit.

"I Love Suffering Politics"

should just be I Love Suffering

Would ILE be improved if politics had its own board because the regular top of new answers is full of US politics threads and that must put off a lot of people.

yes, obviously

pls can we have this

pls

Finally I now see a reason to support deems as a mod

you don't want that

deems ban polls

If politics gets its own board then I will stop my current series of polls after 1999

mind you, there's an option to turn off seeing polls, right?

I Love Weather is a powerful concept but probably redundant with Passing the Time: The Thread for Retired People

I Love Politics, you say? Thought-provoking idea. I'm listening!

I have all the boards in Site New Answers and it never occurred to me people do it any other way. By the very name one is to understand that you are looking at .. the new answers that are on the site!

politics is part of everything imo

TRUMP INVENTED THE REMIX
