otm is such a great shorthand that it pains me to not be able to use it in texts and other random correspondence
if you don't do it, how do you expect other ppl to pick it up
― stilt in the wings (sic), Friday, 26 February 2021 01:42 (three years ago) link
I use it everywhere. Even church.
Jesus otm

Oh well, everyone thinks I'm crazy anyway

"Pope otm." is the single greatest sentence ever written on ILX.

in my mind, it's always "on the mark" and not "on the money"

Clearly it means 'on the mend', as in 'your posts sucked so far but they're getting better'.
― pomenitul, Friday, 26 February 2021 02:51 (three years ago) link
Anyway, I've tried to get like-minded irl friends (all of whom are heavily left-leaning – sorry, unperson) to check out ILX but they're just not into online discussions with perfect strangers, nor are they criminally addicted music obsessives, so 🤷.

xp It may take them a little while. I think my brother told me about ILX about a decade before I actually joined.

Otm means "on the look"
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 February 2021 03:41 (three years ago) link
Ahem try #2
Otm means "on the mook"
I have always been slightly sad that "off the money" is abbreviated the same.
Also, "rodents of usual size" would also be abbreviated R.O.U.S.

That’s why we say “notm”
― Canon in Deez (silby), Friday, 26 February 2021 04:01 (three years ago) link
OTM is "on the monkey", it's obscure drug slang known only to people now in their forties.

Personal "pin bookmarked thread" option. Sometimes I want to keep a thread easily accessible even without new posts, and find myself bookmarking the second-to-last post in a thread to keep it in view -- in which case it clutters up the regular updated-bookmarks list and doesn't show whether there are actual new posts. My pinned threads could be e.g. in a separate list above the regular updated-bookmarks list, and ideally also have a marker for whether it has new posts.
