When people poke you, are you supposed to poke them back? What's the point of it? There's no message with it or anything.
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 5 July 2007 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Poking is a way of saying hello i am here and i want to fuck you...but for people without the confidence to actually say or even imply it

You ask for money to be paypaled to you. A tenner normally unless it's without the glove, then it's twenty. (xpost)

― Rubyred, Thursday, 5 July 2007 13:57 (sixteen years ago) link
What? It's just letting'em know you're here/there.
― nathalie, Thursday, 5 July 2007 14:01 (sixteen years ago) link
that's a relief. because my boss is a married woman.

There are a bunch of people on FB from ILX that I would like to friend but think it would through them off because they wouldn't know who I was. What to do?
― ENBB, Thursday, 5 July 2007 14:20 (sixteen years ago) link
I think a poke to a non-friend allows them to see your profile for a limited period ("yes, it is me - I sat next to you in Geography in 1983 and now I like embroidery and Wolf Eyes"); if they poke you back you can see their profile. From such jabbing beautiful "friend"ships are rekindled. Any subsequent pokes are for laffs.
There are apparently 686,000 Londoners on Facebook.
― Michael Jones, Thursday, 5 July 2007 14:22 (sixteen years ago) link
So far I only have ILX0rs I've actually met in IRL as friends, but that's not a conscious decision on my part. I don't think I've actually added any ILX0rs yet anyway, they've added me. I was the same as you, wasn't sure if I should or not!
xpost the pokes I was talking about were from people who are already friends, so it wasn't to add me or anything, that's why I wondered what it was for.
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 5 July 2007 14:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Did you add me yet, I cannot recall.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 5 July 2007 14:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Ned - Me or CP? You were one of my first FB friends.
― ENBB, Thursday, 5 July 2007 14:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Ned trying to brag he has a gazillion friends on FB. ;-)

former left-wing comrade is now in the "I WILL BE A BILLIONAIRE" group, who's a self-employed investor/stock trader.
Facebook, why u shatter memories/illusions?
― milo z, Thursday, 5 July 2007 20:11 (sixteen years ago) link
is a 'self-employed investor/stock trader' - feel like scare quotes are a necessity there.
― milo z, Thursday, 5 July 2007 20:12 (sixteen years ago) link
i got poked, poked them back, never heard back from them again. which is how i like it. usually the etiquette seems to be that you get poked, then add the person.

I'm a zombie - thanks Trish!

She tried to get me too but I ducked. Take that zombie Trish!

Every second dude on there has the "hilarious" Chuck Norris application. Makes me slightly angry.
Also, add mee. If you like. M4rk W4lt3r.

^In the ilm group.
Haven't joined ILM group as would feel like an imposter because I only pop on there every now and again.
― Hard like armour, Friday, 6 July 2007 00:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, i guess it should have been an ilxor group. ah well.
― Drooone, Friday, 6 July 2007 00:29 (sixteen years ago) link
There's an ILX group too!
― ENBB, Friday, 6 July 2007 00:31 (sixteen years ago) link
sweet nectar.
― Drooone, Friday, 6 July 2007 00:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Just get onboard http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2382779449
― Hard like armour, Friday, 6 July 2007 00:33 (sixteen years ago) link
It's private or whatever. Was the ilm one private?

I don't know, I can't remember. I think you just submit a request to join this one and then Nathalie approves it.
― ENBB, Friday, 6 July 2007 00:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Lovely. Submitted. and eagerly anticipating acceptance.
― Drooone, Friday, 6 July 2007 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
As am I.
― Nathan, Friday, 6 July 2007 03:09 (sixteen years ago) link
I've poked a few of you. The ones I could figure out.
― Hard like armour, Friday, 6 July 2007 03:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Ned - Me or CP?
CP

Hey, you're all just chumps to me.
It's a daft application, because it operates like a pyramid scheme. But I have to beat Mister M, I just have to!
Not that it's a competition.
I applied to join the ilxor group ages ago, but Nathalie has not confirmed me.
― accentmonkey, Friday, 6 July 2007 07:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I just applied to join. You're listed as a member when I look at them. (although it only shows me 34, and some of the people that should be according to the thread^^^ do not seem to be like Ned, and the good Colonel.)
― aldo, Friday, 6 July 2007 07:59 (sixteen years ago) link
WTF. :-( I didn't receive any of you guys. Send me another application or should I just "open" the group? Okay, just opened the group so if I failed to approve you, then try again. :-)
― nathalie, Friday, 6 July 2007 08:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Obviously... I dunno, I don't like that kind of thing, I just want to be friends with people I 'know' not everyone I come in contact with. I am so misanthropic sometimes!
― kv_nol, Friday, 6 July 2007 08:28 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, I'm sure I know more people than him. It is the thing that always annoys him, the fact that he is the colossal nerd who is a leet blackbelt sys admin type, yet I have more friends on the internet than he does.
― accentmonkey, Friday, 6 July 2007 08:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Ned, you have been added!
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 6 July 2007 10:46 (sixteen years ago) link

i know i asked to join the ILX group. i think nath allowed me in. can't remember, and can't check 'cos am at work using steam-powered browser of all fucking doom.
can't say the groups/associated discussions do much for me, really. two weeks in (is it? i think) and i'm still just enjoying the fact that a) it's a lazy-ass way to keep in touch with dudes around the globe, and b) the fact that a (second) GRATE LONG-LOST FRIEND popped up the other day, with typical insouciance, and it made my fucking month to hear from him. srsly: this is the dude who got me into SO MUCH music when i was 15/16; the last time i saw him, we were in a dodgy club back home and someone was dropping a bottle on his head. i've tried to get in touch with him a couple of times; having him suddenly appear from nowhere and add me as a friend was glorious.
so yeh, i still like this thing. how long before the backlash?

theres no point in me poking anyone from ilx as no one would know who on earth i am.
