ASK ME ANYTHING RE: The History of ILX

He predated me by a couple of months, I only saw some posts retrospectively.

we were young, we had no idea what slouching towards us all

Didn’t ta-nehisi coates post here a couple of times, or is that an ilx joke I took at face value

The wiki page has tipped me off that the creator of Aeon Flux posts here, which amazed me until I remembered there's an entire board for Aeon Flux.

The Luna thread seems longer than six years ago, I'm friends with two of my main antagonists from there now, which is a good thing.

(pull-back to reveal I'm wearing a "K8 was right" t-shirt)

slightly aghast at the idea wins of all ppl might be the one taken in by a board joke

Slightly off topic, didn't Doug Yule post to Freaky Trigger once?

yes, also marco pirroni :D

tho not on the same thread or topic (unless topic = interest in themselves)

The pitfalls of googling yourself.

yes never do that

who was the guy that wanted to print out ilx and sell it as a book (or some variation on that idea)

clue: he has posted on this thread since your post ;)

ilx needs an ‘i love ilx’ board

I didn’t know kpunk was an ilxor! Xp

Too bad you idiots chased him off.

Wins, coates did post here for a very brief time.

The other mark s(lutsky) is ILX-famous: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1870414/

we got kpunk's goat = we made him who he became, u shd thank us, this is canon

maybe I am just not a trusting person, but how the fuck could anyone have believed that was her

I think when you have a well-liked poster that has posted for years claim it as such, it's easy to believe and people are loathe to say anything if they suspect something. At the time, I believed it was a real pic of her (and based on the thread, so did many others), though I would have been just older than 20 and probably pretty naive. I think we're all much more aware of fake identities and catfishing now

we certainly are

Why is it so unrealistic for an ilxor to be hot? There are plenty of good looking people on here.

We’re talking about the underwear photo here right?

is ethan p okay what is he doing now

No idea, but when I was still modding last year, there was some discussion of him on the "why do people leave" thread. Someone registered under a name and IP location that seemed to match with him, flagged one of his own old homophobic posts, and then disappeared again.

ooooo

woke ghost ethan

The mods memorize people’s IP addresses?

yes

Chilling

No, but it came from where I last remember him living and included some variation on his name or former handle.

ilx is the o/g zuckerberg

I think a l lot of people thought Luna was fake but she seemed harmless (for the internet) at the time.

ilx👁r

the whole thing with luna wasn't the fake pictures, it was the actual financial scamming

Yeah but so and so said they were surprised people were taken in by the fake pictures

last i interacted with Ethan he sent me this amazing Halloween rap mix of super obscure horrorcore mostly southern rap, was on Facebook but that was years ago now

xp

well you did all get taken in by Momus [ba-da-boom].

^^^^ this.

I too agree that stealing thousands of dollars is worse than posting misleading photos

Respectfully, you can’t have one without the other, lol.

That was the era of a lot of people being on late night aim chats all the time.

xp I beg to differ, I've scammed loads of you with my real pics

Xpost those chats were fun!

yes i miss the loud little start-up song AIM bleeped at you

this memorable piece of cultural criticism was committed on AIM: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/see/2003/08/evazev-53719-pm-haha-there-is-a-new-detective-series/

The term "asshopper/ing" originated in an aim chat I had with rjg. It came from a mistype.

I don't remember the Luna thing but that Mariesa was sure something. What happened to her?

wow, Three Word Username was absolutely vile to emil.y on that thread.

I missed all the actual Luna being exposed stuff, was it mainly off-board? I find it bizarre that anyone was taken in by 'hi, friend/family member here, poor luna is recovering so I'll pass on her messages' etc but I've read loads of stuff about irl scams over the years since then.

cut-off always fall just after where I want to start reading?

Is there a way to increase how many messages get shown before and after the “Skipping xxx messages...” point? Because if not that is numero uno on my ILX want list. Having to scroll through 4,800 posts of a 5,000-post thread just so I can see the start of the latest revive is not fun.

Here's how to do that:

1 - click permalink on the first post AFTER the cutoff (the one you want to scroll back from)
2 - On that new page where that post is the first post shown, decrease the number in the URL that's "bookmarkedmessageid=xxxxxx" Usually dropping it by 200 or 300 will be enough to get you back to where you want, sometimes you have to lower it by 1000 or so. So for instance your message the messageid=7083747, so if I were to lower that to 7083447 it would load messages starting 300 posts back. I believe that post number is site-wide, so that's "300 posts back" counting all posts made on ILX, not this thread.

Thanks!
