I was thinking of this
the treeship experiment was a noble experiment, but unfortunately unsustainable. the pressures were just too much for me to bear. with this request for a "self-ban," it was a noble way for me to end the whole farce while still saving face. soon i will be pulling the plug on 'waterface' and 'buzza' (a/k/a 'velko' a/k/a 'gershy the revive king') as well. peace to all ILXors and apologies to all who i have/am letting down.-乒乓, the poster formerly known as Treeship― 乒乓, Monday, September 16, 2013 11:43 AM (five years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

the "evidence"
vancouveritessinophilesboth would post weird sexist shit - dylann less often but would drop the occasional "bitch" or what have you, always stood out on this boardboth talked about doing translationsin different threads they talked about their personal grooming (you know, of their junk)

Oh huh. Didn’t think it could be dylannn
― Trϵϵship, Friday, 11 January 2019 23:00 (five years ago) link
i am willing to accept that dylann is another subsock of the sockpuppetmaster of ilx but infinty is not a sock of dylann nor viceversa
― topical mlady (darraghmac), Friday, 11 January 2019 23:01 (five years ago) link
dylannn has some hits, i thought

dylann’s real. i’ve corresponded with him offboard before.

I'm just saying it was a vibe i got and here is the circumstantial ya know. not making any claims

dylann is a pretty interesting and creative guy if rough around the edges. infinity seemed... dumb.... so i doubt it’s the same person
― Trϵϵship, Friday, 11 January 2019 23:04 (five years ago) link
dylannn had the hotel front desk and the cigarettes threads
― why date Ryan Adams in the first place? (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 11 January 2019 23:04 (five years ago) link
I think i’ve read dylann’s published writing too. I feel like I vetted his identity but then again I’ve been duped before.

this is not a srs thread of investigation*
*still i jaccuse afl

with dylannn it was always hard to know what was real tbh
― imago, Friday, 11 January 2019 23:07 (five years ago) link
xp - dylann kinda ripped the hotel concept off of hoos tho
― sarahell, Friday, 11 January 2019 23:07 (five years ago) link
the main difference is obviously that people like dylann and think he's a good poster and that is not the case with infinity
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Friday, 11 January 2019 23:07 (five years ago) link
I don’t think deems is being serious fwiw but I never really got that whole buzza et al thing of “every bad poster is someone in disguise” Xps!
― Pierrot with a thousand farces (wins), Friday, 11 January 2019 23:07 (five years ago) link
i mean, that doesn't make him a "bad poster" just that, it was somewhat derivative content, but like this is ilx so it would be awkward to apply rockist standards to threads and posters
― sarahell, Friday, 11 January 2019 23:08 (five years ago) link
xp its part pump priming some fuckin fun part genuine infinty was too on the nose part afl paranoia
― topical mlady (darraghmac), Friday, 11 January 2019 23:08 (five years ago) link
they both had a certain "tryhard" quality in terms of being liked on ilx or being perceived to be cool ... idk ... being liked is a nice thing to want ... i am willing to consider this theory in other words

part "nakh isnt gone hes just fractured"
but im p sure theyd be better socks in that case
latebloomer ran better socks too otherwise a contender
obv the germanic sock machine run out of a london pub is real and is the underlying cancer of the board

I’m surprised we’re not targeted more. It doesn’t take mucj to cause havoc on this board.

for some reason i was thinking infinity symbol guy implied he sometimes reviewed music in a professional capacity but that was probably wrong or a bluff

that was what I thought too, for some reason that I no longer recall

I have no concept of what that poster was like
― Trϵϵship, Saturday, 12 January 2019 02:18 (five years ago) link
xp - i thought the same because at one point one went away, the other appeared, and they seemed similar - but it was at a time where we were at "peak symbol name" for ilx posters iirc
― sarahell, Saturday, 12 January 2019 03:03 (five years ago) link
lol I never even noticed infinity symbol standing out as being any different from all the other ilxors that merge into an amorphous lump. there are a few I register as being particular individual posters but not that many tbh. What were his worst posts?
― kinder, Saturday, 12 January 2019 08:44 (five years ago) link
Lots of posts about the size of his dick and how much sex he had
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Saturday, 12 January 2019 08:55 (five years ago) link
Don't know any of these people, must be going to the wrong, or right, threads.
― Never Turn Your Back On Virginia Woolf (Tom D.), Saturday, 12 January 2019 10:51 (five years ago) link
I think it’s safe to assume that the posts about all the cool sex he has are as credible as his posts about all the cool sox he has
― Pierrot with a thousand farces (wins), Saturday, 12 January 2019 13:48 (five years ago) link
I will miss infinity
― calstars, Saturday, 12 January 2019 13:57 (five years ago) link
i'm not sure what exactly is under discussion here. i have no comment on infinity symbol. posting 11 years (and before that as whatever i posted as) through most of my 20s there were some rough posts in there that i would apologize for (several were last week, unfortunately) and would prefer were never seen by human eyes and i was often too familiar with my ilx friends which i chalk up to reading the board hundreds thousands of hours but posting very little after, like, 2010 + relative anonymity (but i linked to articles i wrote with my full name on them! and my book! partly i guess people that knew me and who i talked to on aim or irl stopped posting here, though, and i think part of maintaining ilx credibility is posting enough that people don't have to look up your past posts and see you telling the world horrible things about yourself) and a limited number of options for ungoogleable and mostly sympathetic places to spill my guts.

reading threads about regular posters everyone apparently hates is so depressing, it makes me feel like i'm not reading closely enough or something because for most of them i have no opinions beyond "oh yeah i do remember seeing that dn on a lot of posts"
and because i overpersonalize everything it makes me wonder what obnoxious posting habits i have that people will complain about when i'm gone (probably overpersonalizing everything)
