Why do people leave ILX for good?

hey did i ever tell you guys about that time i found morrissey shitting in a landfill

i've been resisting the urge to graphically describe what i do while listening to music for the last 2 hours

imago is part of why i stay

all threads eventually devolve into men talking about themselves

or steely dan

not sure which is worse

actual lol

Seconded.

We heard you’re leaving, that’s ok

it's been a bad day. like many days recently tbh. smiths thread is a thing to behold, but what vexes me more is the ongoin j*rdan p*terson/alt-right/m4sculinity threads constantly being bumped. white men talking about white men indeed. I had hoped ilx would steer clear of at least the fringes of that nonsense. instead it seems ilx is just as mundane, and gives in as easily, trite and predictable as everything else. rip iirc.

Disgusting savages ITT

every post in Jordan P is just 'this guy is an idiot, qed' and yet it's parked at the top of sna for over a week now?

hi there are non white people here too and the ilx takes on these issues is actual useful for us so f u tryna police how people deal and talk about racism and nazis being celebrated, magnified and popularized in the goddamn nytimes in 2018.

Also I made some good posts in that masculinity thread yesterday

I find it very easy to ignore the threads that I don't like/get tired of. Or is it that people wish others would post more on different threads?

I don’t understand what’s so fucked about this particular day on ilx
I must be reading the wrong threads
(Not following the jordan fuckhead one anymore for instance)

concur that silby did make some very good posts until the thread had to take a bathroom break.

yeah, exactly this. it's so bourgeois.

no idea who you are aiming your arrows at chaki, incomprehensible post.

On this day in ILX history...

I don’t understand what’s so fucked about this particular day on ilx

It's mostly ILM, usually is.

threads i never go near should always be as helpfully titled as:

Democratic (Party) Direction

i'm saying: when the mainstream news, amazon best seller lists and ppl irl are telling you "this man that is famous for shouting down trans kids should be celebrated," having a place like ilx to scream HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT into is actually a good and healthy thing for many and f u for trying to get down on ppl for that

idk i do kind of think there's a point after which screaming too long about someone starts to inadvertently make a place for that person's ideas, like at some point it's good to just put down the garbage person and move on. that point is different for different people though so i don't think it makes any sense to take lbi's high and mighty tone about it.

i reserve that approach for topics such as the band "yes"

Aw, does this shitshow need a widdle bit of Hamburger vs Pizza to make it feel better?

My “problem” is the narrowing of my own interests to basically one or two things, and everything else can kind of bugger off ?

today's smiths thread seems to be just the nnnnth iteration of 'if [thing that didn't happen] happened, then [something else that didn't happen] would be totally true!'

i mean i see how people might be disgruntled with it but hey that's ilm and always has been

but are they classic or dud

HI

found this

I mostly left because I started having very demanding jobs where internet browsing time is not readily available to me, and because I hate looking at this on my phone.

hi!

also tbh i just scanned the front page and I don't feel like I want to contribute to any of the subjects currently active

I am really only good at being silly and in-jokey

when i first started reading ilx you were one of my favourite posters and i wish you would come back for good

ikwym about the active subjects but there are so many threads that could be revived

cosine!! hi m!

you should get the app for your phone it is very good

You are a good poster and I'm glad to see you back. Particularly since there are so few lady posters around these days.

Also as my perpetually-ridiculous presence goes to show, there's room for silly in-jokiness in even the most serious threads. And everybody loves it. A lot.

MISSED U HOMO. COME TO GIRLS THREAD PLS.

HO

MOO

TWOOOOOOO

omg homo II hi <3

I am really only good at being silly and in-jokey

Implying things here have thoroughly changed in the interim.

well it's more that I dont read enough to be able to make a good quality in joke!!

where is the girls thread again????

no boys allowed in the room!!!!

Get zing touch on the app store

I only use a real browser when I want to use search for a revive

Whoa hi there youre missed!

(Also tombot exactly otm)

WBHSII!

Basically went like this:

Lost internet as I couldn’t afford it.
Started reading and exercising instead.
Any time I come back it’s the same old political mess, or specific users are just shit disturbers and somehow not banned.
Love the music forums and many posters but it’s a huge relief not feeling the anxiety and stress of this fucked up woeld radiated back at me from other posters.

After 20 years here it was time to kick the biscuit and breathe for once. Peace !

* world

if it matters Ross i'm always glad when i see you've posted
