US posters appear more loyal to ILX than UK ones...why?

i thougt DG was ex-sinister

ha

I don't actually know who DG is but I would have pegged him for ex-sinister, too -- or at least assumed he was one of the crew incl, roughly, Ptee and Popkins and those Londoners.

i'm not taking any betting tips from you guys

i thought DG was garu G's brother.

Well that's good to know, I was wondering why a friend of Tim's would be so rude.

;_;

DG started ILE right? much to answer for

tell me about it

ITS NOT ONE OF MINE HE NVER EVEN SEEN ME FLANGE

garu g is the pinefox without his ritalin, everyone knows that

WAIT - maybe the american contingent are more loyal because, being more geographically dispersed, they never have to meet each other?

How many of the top posters have you met?

I'm also ex-sinister

little known fact about mandee

Yeah, I'm not sure. I mean, Jon seems to hate me for reasons I'm not really sure about, and it's probably just people going along with him. Or something about me is generally offensive to the more recent kind of posters. I guess I'll just try and ignore the name calling and hostility, but at some point it's just not worth it. I should probably have just played along early on, but I didn't really understand it and wondered why I should anyway.

I could probably think of as many US as UK posters who don't post any more. Perhaps Grandpont Genie is noticing it more because he knows more of the missing British posters personally?

spencer i think you have more friends on the board than you have enemies anyway

Wait, wtf is 'offensive' about Spencer?

Here we go!

The concept of an ILX friend is great. The concept of an ILX enemy is completely fucking laughable.

Max, it used to be friends and people I didn't know. Now there's friends and "enemies" and I'm thinking why deal with it at all?

suzy, OTM. Hate away, folks, I couldn't really care less.

I am more comfortable with people hating now.

But anyway, to get back to the main theme, I think a number of key American Anglophiles who sort of bridged the cultural gap aren't really posting anymore.

And I feel like Ned is posting less.

But maybe not, let me check the stats...

wonder how many ilxors have been posting regularly for five years or more without some kind of lengthy spell away

Hah, well I've been posting less this month, certainly. But my attention is a little more broadly spread out these days.

spencer is cool and handsome

jw doesn't like him iirc because he is a 'ricer'?

ask me anything re the history of ilx.xls obv

sweet

xpost, haha I think it's more than that.

hi

(i'm not proud of this)

Spencer, I've noticed a few times you've gotten zinged and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you at all, it's just people talking shit and trying to be funny. It's probably not worth letting it get to you, unless it's to the point where it outweighs any enjoyment you get from ILX. (I know some people will probably find this rich coming from me, since I have a habit of taking things quite personally, but I think I've learned to let the trivial stuff slide.)

I just had my 5-year ILXversary a month or two ago.

I also feel that on ILM very few people (like Steve and 3 others maybe) are discussing music that I care about. I wonder where those people have gone.

dude don't even make out like ur .xls is bigger than mine

I think the last serious ILX break I took was in the wake of 9/11 when I was looking for a job.

i wonder which contingent donated the most to 'ILX2'

Yeah me too, and even though there have been times when I've posted less, I've never had a total break from ILX.

2001 on

We're like people that made friends as teenagers and have grown to have different interests in life but are very good, fun friends.

Weird, Abbott, I have no recollections of you posting prior to '07

i wonder which contingent donated the most to 'ILX2'

I'm thinking it was...THE CLUSTER GANG

haha i have NO friends like this irl

I'm thinking it was...THE CLUSTER GANG

i can't remember who this was

xp

me and my old roomie are like this. we used to write counterpart political columns for the high school newspaper. he is libertarian fundie now and maybe a little nuts, but we still have beers and the occassional "john justen and fluffy bear will watch it" style awful movie night

Don't know but the number of Yanks is yea big.

what it is. in fact we're due an autumn FAP I reckon.

as for me, i'm working too much to contribute regularly, which frankly disgusts me (the work bit, though it'd be good to be contributing more - or at all really - as well.)

Yeah I *did* hang out with the ILB cru after that Pynchon talk recently, was ace

but there's a reticence to post I've noticed, not sure why. The level of discourse is quite good, when it does happen

would hang quietly in background of an ilb cru meet i think

I endorse the observation that ILB's UK contingent is top notch. If I were nearer London, I'd gladly FAP with them and be all the better for it.

not at all, you'd be dancing on the tables in no time (xp)

would you fuck deems, that behaviour would only be an indication that you were in need of strong liquor and a contrarywise kick up the arse.

xp!

aimless, should you ever have the luxury of a UK visit - there's some very good walking as I'm sure you know tho i realise circumstances may not be expedient - you just need to send up the signal.

would you fuck deems

pls dont start sentences like this pls

now you put it like that.

poll?

by all means don't let's

the british left

A thread connection if ever there was one

loool wins

I blame our less extensive cinematic comic universe
