The asking is the sticking point.

That and I don't agree with the principle behind it anyway.

You’re right It should be like a test or something xp

for reference there are 5 threads from 77 on site new answers currently out of about 200.

not an attack at all on yourself man but you really are stuck on this is all

the principle is just having a place that’s ungoogleableit’s never been for talking behind regulars backsThe idea of a second, exclusive, invitation only board running parallel to ILX has got to have had some impact surely?It only exists bcz crütis discovered a whole bunch of exclusive boards that already existed and asked for one of his own and stet said “sure”

Not really, I think I've only ever posted about it two or three times, and this is probably the most sustained bit of posting I've ever done on it. And that's, as you say, over a decade.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 23:52 (five years ago) link
tbf it’s be *offered* via a thread over the years and posting on the thread as a regular is more of a “yes, i’m interested” and not an *ask* per sesomeone just give Tom some access to 77 and then force him to ask his way back off imo
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:06 (five years ago) link
lol tom one of yr defining characteristics is moaning aabout what 77 and sna might be but never checking either out

SNA is for people who are super catholic in their tastes or who are disorganized
― Dan S, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:22 (five years ago) link
wait until you notice the travesty that is "blog view"
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:24 (five years ago) link
Blog view is the best feature of ilx, it's too bad it craps out on the reg.

or who are disorganized
how is it disorganised to curate the boards you want to see, in one convenient place
― steven, soda jerk (sic), Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:27 (five years ago) link
My opposition to sna lasted about a week! I can't even remember what my problem with it was.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:31 (five years ago) link
Xp didn’t realize SNA was curatable. I thought it was just a running list of the most recently updated threads
― Dan S, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:32 (five years ago) link
the most recently updated, among boards you pickI have sna covering all boards I look at other than ilm, then look at ilm on its own
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:33 (five years ago) link
ok I see now that you can customize view
― Dan S, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:42 (five years ago) link
really wish ILF was folded into ILE though. it feels like every post there gets lost, it's updated only about once a week, and there is aready a lot of discussion of films on ILE
― Dan S, Thursday, 14 March 2019 00:51 (five years ago) link
there are no threads for BelaTarr, Hou Hsiao-hsien, or Claire Denis on ILE
― Dan S, Thursday, 14 March 2019 01:06 (five years ago) link
having a high profile in a fringe board is better than a low profile thread on a large board
not that it works like that, but it's a nice theory
― mh, Thursday, 14 March 2019 01:56 (five years ago) link
Ive used nothing but SNA for years, why would I want to have to click on 10 diff boards to see what up?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 14 March 2019 02:00 (five years ago) link
I guess I’m preferencing my own way of viewing this, but It seems like the presence of a subject on ILE gives it more of a chance for fruitful discussion than on any of the other boards (ILM excepted)
― Dan S, Thursday, 14 March 2019 02:23 (five years ago) link
Well that again is where SNA comes in handy, without it i'd miss threads all over other boards. As an example I curated ILM off the viewing list, and as a result I p much never post or read there anymore.
Which means Ive missed participating in a few of those "lets make a pre album" funtimes but ah well!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 14 March 2019 02:29 (five years ago) link
1. You’re not allowed to post about other ilxors on 77 unless they’re also 77 members so there is zero shit talking behind backs2. The only condition of acceptance to 77 is that you’re a long-standing (ie you’re a “known”) ilxor
― just1n3, Thursday, 14 March 2019 05:45 (five years ago) link
3. You’re not allowed to repost 77 content on other boards
― just1n3, Thursday, 14 March 2019 05:46 (five years ago) link
because crut discovered it and then they gave the board to him, iircthe privacy/deindex part came later I think?― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Wednesday, March 13, 2019 5:33 PM (yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

77 was always a hidden board. stet gave me mod privileges there & put my name in the board name as a gag/experiment after I found the other hidden boards: favorite hidden ILX board
IIRC, at the borad's inception, anyone with access to the board could invite any other ILXor, so it grew pretty quickly. Pretty soon controversial posters showed up and the site admins were forced to lay down some rules.
Now only mods have the power to add people to the board. I don't have mod powers there anymore because I abused them (undeleted a thread that another mod had deleted).
― ⅋ (crüt), Thursday, 14 March 2019 05:58 (five years ago) link
imo the real hidden board is the ILX sandbox.

i'm a member of 77 and can confirm that it's undermining the spirit of ilx. hate to break it to yall but tom d. is right
― macropuente (map), Thursday, 14 March 2019 06:04 (five years ago) link
the exclusive content on 77 exceeds the "internet salon" of your wildest dreams. there is absolutely no watercooler talk, and so many great excelsior threads to have a laugh at. and yet because one has to ask to join, it means there is a step to join, so none of this delightful universe of content is available to someone who does not take that step. it makes me sad--sad for ilx, which is now unambiguously split into two groups, one superior (77 regulars) and one inferior (non-members of 77). i am sad for the inferiors though happy to be one of the superiors. it is, truly, bittersweet.
― macropuente (map), Thursday, 14 March 2019 06:16 (five years ago) link
if anyone is looking for a 77 membership i have several for sale. skip the wait list and background/reference check. $4k or couples 2/$7k.

Anyway...
Would you say that 77 covers the ground that the old "This is the thread where I say" threads used to?
― Mark G, Thursday, 14 March 2019 07:27 (five years ago) link
Not at all

I'm tired of hearing "77 is an elitist board where it's an exclusive club and blah blah blah..." talk. It is not.
Anyone with an ilx account that hasn't come from out of the fuckin blue is welcome to post on 77. The only catch to 77 is that it is de-indexed.
Not so people can fuckin gossip about shit. I'm going to break a rule and post some current threads running over there:
• Depression and anxiety and how we try to deal • moments when you seriously believe all of popular culture has been reduced to fan service • commiserate about your ptsd symptoms • graphic design, 1986-94• Tracksuit-clad-Mila-Kunis-grabs-solitary-caffeine-hit-way-pilates-class.html • 77 thread for teachers who don't want to lose their jobs
Any of you old regulars who boo-hoo about the existence of 77, tell me where else sensitive topics like depression or ptsd should be discussed? Out in the open with the rest of our Googleable zany threads? Do you not see why that would be an issue?
Swear to God if you say "in a pub," I'm gonna FP you so fast.
― pplains, Thursday, 14 March 2019 13:49 (five years ago) link
huh weird i could swear i've seen the first and fourth of those threads, but i am not on 77. or am i?
― |Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 14 March 2019 13:53 (five years ago) link
I don't discuss my personal life or problems online so that side of 77 is of no use to me, I can see how that is of some value to people though.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Thursday, 14 March 2019 13:58 (five years ago) link
doc casino - there's a non-77 version of the first of those threads. most of the recent posts consist of regulars encouraging people to come on over to 77 - what with the stigma still attached to mental illness people don't necessarily feel comfortable going into detail about it on the public internet
― the scientology of mountains (rushomancy), Thursday, 14 March 2019 14:21 (five years ago) link
if i go to Boards i can see 77 and view all the threads. does that mean i'm on 77?
― |Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 14 March 2019 14:26 (five years ago) link
I believe that's what that means, yes.
Unless it's a trap.
