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.
― sarahell, Sunday, 23 February 2020 19:12 (four years ago) link
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.

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".
― Kate (rushomancy), Monday, 24 February 2020 01:27 (four years ago) link
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.

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.

He doesn't post as much as he had, but definitely still a regular.

I don't think Coates posted enough to count, leaving us with seven ilxors. Four are ostensibly still active to varying degrees, which is more than 50% over a period of almost two decades. That's a pretty good percentage, right? Certainly not enough to warrant a 'where are the snows of yesteryear?'-type lament. Sounds like your main reasons for self-ejecting lie elsewhere, Yelp.

thought I started posting as "uh" in 2004 (which I'm not proud to admit), horrified to realize I posted here under my government name 10 times in 2003. which I didn't know until 5 minutes ago.
