Why do people leave ILX for good?

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

Why do people leave ILX for bad?

All my favorite posters got banned during the sb wars around 2008 and presumably found better things to do with their lives

who besides dom and ethan?

have kids or get a real job

ILM

Sweet memories are made of this

never understood the hate of ILM on ILE

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

To hate music is to love music xp.

As opposed to hating everything on ILE.

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

Dude

I don't really differentiate between ILM & ILE, tbh?

Same

Dudes

"was never real in the first place"

ilm is higher on the behave-yourself scale

ILM hate is boring as fuck tbh.

The unbannable multisockpuppetheaded hydra who is 2/3s of the posters.

Since SNA who cares what board anything is on?

Exactly

You've changed yr tune Tom!

TWU otm

Tom D means the hate is not strong enough.

need spicier hate...

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

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.

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

Can we post tweets now

xp why did you leave?

talk about muttering to yourself...

when ilx was great, it was easily my favourite thing on the web

nobody remembers anything that anyone writes on twitter. its the epitome of mumbling down a hallway.

(xposts) I imagine I'll bail one day--not out of malice, I hope--but I can't ever imagine preferring Twitter to ILX. Not a knock on Mark, but Twitter's ridiculous. The whole idea of it makes me think of "Hank's Thoughts" from Hank Kingsley's fanzine: "I could really go for a Creamsicle right now."

guessing you’re talking about the so not gonna happen/WHOSE ARM IS THAT?????/roll up the rim to win era

talking like 07-13

agree w/flopson

i can't be the only person who is still here because i've been here so long. who else would have me? i just use it now as a respite from facebook. i don't even consider ilx a part of the larger internet. it exists outside of time and space. and i've said it before so i'll say it again: most message boards/communities on the web are horror shows of dumb and sadness.

also totally makes sense to me that a lot of people i knew here who started writing more and more seriously and more professionally would stop typing so much somewhere for free. it takes mental energy out of you.

To hate music is to love music xp.

Eternal borad description imo

xpost — Rather.

Sometimes because we’ve got a lot of thinking to do on our own.

You guys don’t have a “post your Letterboxd” thread around here these days? How far underground did you have to go?

i cant imagine leaving ilx simply because there's people who I like and love to read on ilx who wont add me on facebook/pretend they dont do facebook because they dont like me, so where else am I going to read what they say?

I’ve been spending more time on ILX because I’m not doing twitter anymore, ILX somehow healthier of a pastime.

Anyway the heat death of ILX will be no activity for 17 years and then deems bumping a thread with five posts from 2004 saying “did we ever get this sorted” and then another six years and then the final poll results will arrive
