“leaving” a website is a strange concept since people really just go to other websites, and coming back is just really “hey i’ll type that url again”

I don't think people really do leave ILX here for good, they are locked in the servers like the end of "San Junipero"

ILM

Sweet memories are made of this

never understood the hate of ILM on ILE

Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Sunday, 25 February 2018 21:38 (six years ago) link

I don't hate ILM. I am simply a bad fit for the culture there, so I avoid it. Near as I can tell, the incidence of clusterfucks is similar between ILM and ILE, so it isn't as if one is a snake pit and not the other.

For one thing for a board called I Love Music there's a load of people hating music on it

Opening a thread on the shitpostiest subforum on this site and getting mad is so excellent

Every time I check in it feels like going back to my old high school and finding everyone I went to school with still there wandering the halls and muttering to themselves

flopson, Sunday, 25 February 2018 23:09 (six years ago) link

I found ILX through ILM around 2001 or 2002. I prefer ILE and then the noize board. And then I left all of it for about 10 years except a maybe 2 times a year check in. ~3 months ago I started checking it every day. I'm not a social media person and I still have contact with old ilxors in person. I dunno. Sometimes I feel like venting without wanting to see likes or being notified of responses.

Yerac, Sunday, 25 February 2018 23:11 (six years ago) link

xpost, yeah, I am/was super surprised about all the old ilxors on here still posting regularly.

I learned about google on my first professional job, which lasted from 2000 to late 2003. I feel fairly certain I encountered ILX during that time as well, but it seems too early given my posting history.
