Why do people leave ILX for good?

it did, and I got off at the Buchanan exit, and I think the ILX continued east on I-80 towards Sacramento

lock thread tbh

it doesn't really have anything to do w/ toni morrison specifically but more the general notion that, say, a black woman who made art mostly about and for other black women isn't really being talked about on this board primarily because we have no black women who actively post on this board

There is this, but there's also the effect (which I don't know if it's better or worse) where we'll talk about something that has an aspect (possibly a total aspect) relevant to an experience outside of our own, and, ignoring that aspect entirely, conclude that we've nailed it.

bump, just in case we've had any recent leavers who may want to share their stories.

ah but they left

I left

but you were ijrc fake, dan

yes i know they have left but they all of em still read, we know this

You not retiring yet are you Darragh?

He's never been retiring.

every 2nd post of his seems like fuzzy, oblique bitching about lefties these days, at least before it used every 4th post!

lads please, please.

ye have yr thread, dont ye?

too many threads for the remainers

every time a poll with a lot of options is bumped now I can only think "specific user such as imago"

Which specific ILX user has the best discography?

Best Buy

Come for the pie. Stay for the clusterfucks. Leave when you've had your fill.

Bloomberg's got a babby

LOL, I just saw upthread that back in August 2019 a proposal was made to pay women and minorities a certain rate to participate in this forum. So when do I start looking for any back pay? Should someone alert fellow "twofer" Geeta to this proposal?

i forget the thread for this but:

* Why do people leave ILX for good?
* people dancing to Phish

Which specific ILX user has the best discography?

We all know the answer to this, right? It's no contest! Or am I forgetting someone?

there are in fact several contenders

What I really want to know is which specific ILX lurker has the best discography.

there’s your truth, and then there’s my softer, pinker one

this isn't something we should discuss imo

lurkers otoh

this isn't something we should discuss imo

Indeed. My initial question was facetious and likely a parody of some other post/thread I've already forgotten about.

Imago otm. Let's just say it's a tie and move on

mariah carey is poster "bee ok" iirc

Fred B is Lars Ulrich.

i'm kali malone

*drones on and on about something*

Not to start shit again, but your posts are wayyyyyyyyy better than Kali Malone's music.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank
Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooou
:)

(I do like her music though!)

also your jump shot is amazing

I had an international smash hit single when I was still going by the name Jordy so let's not be too quick to declare a winner here, is alls I'm sayin

Has it gotten any easier now that you're no longer a, you know?

Sadly, it's all been downhill since my diaper days.

Should someone alert fellow "twofer" Geeta to this proposal?

whenever I mention ilx to her, she has warm things to say about a lot of old school ilxors, but expresses no interest in returning to regular posting/reading.

she does have great taste in food/bevs, so if she happens to be visiting your locale, you should definitely buy her drinks and/or dinner, esp. if you are an affluent white dude.

unless you're "that one guy" .... he knows who he is.

I would definitely... oh wait, never mind

not you, mh

jokes

DM-ed you

Would it be ok if I'm just a regular middle class brown woman?

I think the implication was that the people complaining about a lack of diverse voices earlier in this thread are largely cisgender white straight men

well, fuck it, i've done my part to increase the number of women _and_ decrease the number of men posting here

of course offering money to posters is a fairly clueless solution - first off y'all can't afford my rates, second off i guarantee you spend enough time even talking about the idea and some asshole will jump out of the woodwork with some bullshit argument about how i "shouldn't count".

A+ :D

I'm always completely... fine with people leaving? Like "kudos to you, you managed to get out of here." I don't desire this myself, but I can see why one would, for so many reasons.

Trying my best to call out the bullshit. Also doing it for free too. Aren't you all lucky?

i prefer to refer to it as privileged

Hi all,

I’m out.

I found ilx in ‘03 and have since been a daily lurker and occasional poster. I’ve learned so much here from ilxors like Milton Parker, dylannn, John D4rni3lle, Sund4r, Scott Seward, momus, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and even deej.

Where have they all gone?

Maybe I’m old or too sensitive but I feel increasingly at odds with nearly everyone here. I don’t want to be unkind to anyone so I’ll stay quiet.

My best to all.
