Haha. I think about santorum.jpg dialy, especially because it deserves a Trump16 update, but never in regards to Wayne/this thread. Emily thoroughly otm though, on all accounts.

I listened to this because I wanted to hear an ILX story, but I can't believe there's a podcast that's basically "Let me describe a picture I saw on the internet and then track down and annoy the people in it"

xxp no don't you see it's v aesthetic to make a thread about how someone looks kinda like a loser and find out where they live and work and harrass them to talk about it via someone rehearsing for a career as an important "i talk like this, with this cadence" person

all of you? i mean i know classic ilx or whatever but you don't find any of the language, stalking or making contact that happened itt/'podcast' creepy or distasteful?
― yolo mostly (sleepingbag), Friday, 14 October 2016 02:19 (seven years ago) link
Yes, and I expressed that to PJ when he interviewed me.

Yeah, the podcast guys made it pretty clear that the whole thing was weird and creepy. But then they got sucked in too.
― emil.y, Friday, 14 October 2016 02:29 (seven years ago) link
...& took the weird + creepy thing further, and published it on a monetized platform... but it's all cool, no harm really and nothing any of us wouldn't mind being on the other end of, right?
― yolo mostly (sleepingbag), Friday, 14 October 2016 02:38 (seven years ago) link
Kinda creepy knowing there's all these people out there reading this thread now, looking in.

yeah see previous posts and give jaymc credit
when they said something about "john" I only very briefly thought "which... who?" until the voice clip rolled and I knew who it was
― mh 😏, Friday, 14 October 2016 03:54 (seven years ago) link
also what is up with s1ocki getting credit in the regards at the end but no other acknowledgment?
did s1ocki point these guys to it or gr80, because they both definitely had some role
― mh 😏, Friday, 14 October 2016 03:55 (seven years ago) link
that's true of pretty much every thread to varying degrees, though
life is kinda creepy in general
― I look forward to hearing from you shortly, (Karl Malone), Friday, 14 October 2016 03:58 (seven years ago) link
iirc s1ocki pointed them to it and told them they should talk to gr8080. gr8080 then looped in me and roxy.

Fuck I really enjoyed the shit out of this podcast and hearing gr80 and jaymc was a fucking delight. Only complaint is that it follows the This American Life format/aesthetic to a t and yo I guess that this is growing up. I love you guys I love ilx.
― kurt schwitterz, Friday, 14 October 2016 07:25 (seven years ago) link
^ same :)
a curious sensation hearing these young podcast voices covering this thread (and calling us 'kids'!)
also..... of course the RIP pic was real. v surprising the podcasters didn't think it was! but it's great that it spurred them to go to the bar

Maybe the likes of Catfish have made me overly cynical, but the narrative with the twist seems a little too neat to be entirely genuine.
― AlanSmithee, Friday, 14 October 2016 07:53 (seven years ago) link
Wish they'd done it as a written article rather than a podcast. Their voices really started to grate on me after a while. Doesn't anyone write articles anymore?

Loved the podcast! The twists! The turns! It's now like just one step away from someone writing their dissertation and becoming a Doctor of Sociology about this thread.

Completely floored! I subscribe to Reply All and when the episode came on I had no idea that the kids of ILX figured in.

(SPOILERS FOR THE PODCAST FOLLOW, BE WARNED!)
To be honest, I found the whole justfication for faking "Wayne's" death to be a bit suspect. I mean, according to the podcast guy, his friends did it so ILX would stop cyber-harassing him or something... But if you actually look at this thread, the discussion around "Wayne" mostly dies around 2007, and after that most of the thread revivals are about totally different pics, with only a handful of "Wayne" posts (mostly by Gr8080) in the next 8 years.
And then "WayneCrew610" posts the news about his "death" in January 2015, even though no one in this thread has even mentioned him since 2013. So unless there was some stalking going on outside the thread (which I guess is possible), the idea that they'd nobly fake their friend's death to protect him from harassment, even though it had actually stopped years ago, seems suspect.
And then you have Jaymc saying he was interviewed for the podcast in February 2015 (i.e. soon after the first post by "WaynesCrew"), and someone else says it has been on the works for "years". So maybe "WaynesCrew" only came to post here only after the podcast folks had contacted them... Which means that they created the story for their podcast themselves.
