I do believe that every ILXor I've met IRL has been gone from the board for a decade+ at this point.

I keep misreading this thread titles as "Why do good people leave ILX?"

02-03 were fun years for me

w/r/t recruitment, i have done my part by both speaking with people in person and virtually

have successfully gotten a handful of people on board but they all give me the same feedback

also i think these are good but different times

people get nostalgic for the past or for what can't be had

One of my favourite genres of ilxor is people who have been here for like 15 years, always with the same username, and yet are subtle enough to slip under the radar

NZ's own 'etc' being one of the finest exponents of this

imago, Monday, 26 February 2018 18:27 (six years ago) link

xp i certainly can't read either of your minds! and i did ask.

Sometimes yes, but I was joking there tbc.

No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Monday, 26 February 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link

i have no desire to connect my various usernames to previous ones bc i don't treat this message board the same way others do, and never have, if people want an explanation

i do think i've gotten old too and am much less profane than before

just livin for the moment and chilin in lyfe now

President Keyes, Monday, 26 February 2018 18:41 (six years ago) link

the seemingly decline in big cultural tentpole moments is a factor for me. a lot of what made ilx fun for me was participating in those threads. although i guess a new star wars can be relied upon to come out every year. i think this is especially apparent on the music side. i mean just look at what was #1 for the tracks poll! a song nobody loved.

maybe that's another way of saying lots of good discussion can be found somewhere else, and also maybe that i'm less interested in engaging with the 'culture' nowadays. i will say ilx is nice though in that it's often a refuge from the hysteria present on other social media like twitter, the politics thread is often a good splash of cold water from trump fear.

also unfortunate is the number of shitty posts blanketing the board from posters like infinity symbol which makes finding the good stuff that much harder.

anyway! ilx is dead, long live ilx.

yea I admit I spent a lot of time trying to rile people up in the old days and a lot of my opinions were flat out dumb. one big moment for me was when I used the word "uppity" in the "is this racist" thread and a lot of people gave me shit for using such a "racially charged word". but I *honest to God* never remembering hearing the word in that context (or just didn't realize it at the time) so I thought all you guys were trolling me so I kept trolling back even harder, and then I looked it up and it turns out it IS a racially charged word, and I wanted to go and say "my bad" but wound up with 68,000 SBs and couldn't post for a while

frogbs, Monday, 26 February 2018 18:59 (six years ago) link

lol I tried to get into the discord chat the other day and I guess it's gone or something. I don't understand the new ways of using the internet.

I think this is the funniest shit, how many 'secret' chat rooms do we have now that are mostly ilx people? lagoon and I tried making a slack but no one joined but there are at least two active ones I know of, but am not part of (probably for the best)
