Any reason why ILM is so quiet these days?

Nothing ever got locked or removed by request nor did anyone ever get banned on old ilx.

its funny to think that in 2001 we were referring to nu-ilx already though.

but maybe i should revise my timeline around precisely this shift. 2003 thread starts, title/premise is disparaged but conversation goes on. 2009 revive cast significant side-eye on title/premise, conversation goes on. 2010 semi-revive is a false start, 2012 revive goes nowhere, 2017 revive leads immediately to thread lock. so maybe somewhere in there was a real shift in board values/priorities, which i applaud, and perhaps this marks the arrival of 2nü-ILX.

I personally think of moving from Greenspun as the beginning of nu-ilx but others think of stet taking over and polls.

Yeah, 2017 ILX needs to contritely distance itself from its 4chan-esque past because that thread title is perfectly representative of the types of discussions people were having back in the day. Decline successfully averted!

it's an extreme example but like honestly go to any really long thread and get super basic opinions about tom petty and shit if you go all the way to the beginning
