its better when we make puns rather than try to harness that big msg board energy into solving srs issues one works and is good one doesn't and is bad

*treesh swigs from milk carton with THE POINT ENTIRELY printed on the side*

There is a reason you never see an airing of grievances on the back of a milk carton.

Not everyone can be as famous as you, vertical lines

Vertical bars person is a classic poster

does anyone know how to pronounce missouri

I rember the era when “barcode man otm” was said so often it became a kind of meme

I swear there was an “if ILX had avatars thread”

Classic piece of advice for people who suffer from social anxiety: 'nobody thinks about you that much when you're gone; they've already forgotten your missteps (real or imagined)'.

thank u Turrϵϵcan

barcode man is an old-timer, reminds me of rtc but isn't rtc. maybe his second, thrust now into the vacuum

Crown me with Rosses,
Crown me really
With Rosses

barcode is a good video games poster

sounds 1-dimensional

barcode joeks

those are pipes you newbs

Anyway, barcode, welcome to Ohio State University. Your orientation packet is with your RA.

welcome to U of Misery

it was, god help me for knowing this, one of tuomasss threads aboit why sb was tyranny

*nodding fondly*

Tbh I’m surprised that ppl who seem to be way more involved on ILX than I am these days seemed to not have seen any of that but it happened repeatedly for months

i hope you don't think of me as one of those ppl, because I like only read about a dozen threads anymore, so I really saw none of this

woah i had no idea that Ross carried on like that

the only times i encountered him on threads he was just this kind of mildly annoying indie dude

defending Tcan, yeah i'm ok if he checks out for an extended period

lol

xpost to sarahel

obv most ppl didn't see those threads! most posters probably never encountered Ross at all. but it gets weirdly gaslighty when ppl who didn't see it get all "aw he was nice to me, you're being mean by telling us about a thing that happened"

like, last time (iirc aimn) I mentioned Ross wishing death on other posters, Ross later blew up in that same thread and wished death on other posters, I quoted him wishing death on other posters like "just saying," and someone said "that's not a death THREAT, ghod, you're blowing it all out of proportion"

(again, I hope Ross is doing well IRL.)

Yeah Ross is like one of two posters to ever 'verbally assault' me in my +/- fifteen years here, but I ain't mad and I hope he's well.

goodbye Ross and his dependencies

Sarahell - no not at all but also I didn’t mean it as a criticism of anyone at all - I was just surprised. :)

Hey everyone! I just found this thread and wanted to address a few things:

1. I also posted under the "krushsister" handle for awhile but didn't mention it because I figured everyone knew about that already.
2. I'm super touched some of y'all have mentioned me and if y'all want to keep up with me, I'm 100% available on FB. A lot of the old-timers on here will know my RL name/are FB friends with me just in case we're not FB friends already. I'm especially interested in the old "This is The Thread Where I Say" gang, even after knowing about the financial shit Luna pulled. (Which, BTW, is the thing I objected to on that particular thread, not her going as an alias [since I went by an alias on here myself].)
3. The times I'd soured on ILX were purely because I felt like a real outsider around here, thoughts probably fueled by untreated depression and anxiety issues (of which there are/were PLENTY, but after seeing how people really are I recognize this forum as the truly open-minded one it's been all throughout its existence, even during times of high drama.
4. I'll read stuff on here every now and then because I love reading insightful stuff from "internet mentalists" as someone (I forget who) once brilliantly coined, but a lot of the time I'm too busy to keep up with much aside from FB, so if you want to friend me on there then PLEASE PLEASE DO.
5. I'm still really, really, really fucking into Duran Duran and '80s synthpop. The more things change....

Oops, meant to close the parentheses after the "PLENTY" in #3, sorry!

Oh! Forgot to mention that I've met some ILXors IRL now! I hung with Texas Sam/Ms Misery after attending a DD concert in Austin in the summer of 2016 (she even let me crash at her house and we had breakfast together the next morning!), and met up with Andrew Farrell while visiting London around Christmastime 2017.

I had tentative plans to meet Sam at a bar in Dallas once but it never materialized. You are Dee from SA right?

OMG Dee the Lurker! HELLO!!

You are Dee from SA right?

The one and the same! Also, Sam's been a fantastic friend but had to step away from social media post-November 2016, but I am FB friends with one of her aunts.

OMG Dee the Lurker! HELLO!!

OMG hi Tracer Hand! ❤️

Awww really happy to read this!
