how many here remember the greenspun days or 'turn back you poxy fule' (which I never understood the nostalgia for as it was bloody annoying)

I was here for the poxy fule era, and maybe greenspun? was that when there was a w3hrd.ilx or whatever, two separate URLs?

The first thing I remember seeing on ILX was Momus's penis, so whenever that was.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 27 April 2015 20:43 (nine years ago) link
12 years, that's almost a third of my life! Though I still sometimes feel like a newbie, the whole Greenspun era is a myth to me. I remember poxy fule though, and the days of anonymous posting. Remember what a furor there was when some folks dared to suggest posting on ILX should be allowed for registered users only? Such simpler times!

A little over 11 years. Though I'm quiet these days I used to talk a lot a lot. Then I got *jobs* and other stuff, incl a baby. It's just by weird luck that I didn't get into ilx earlier! But one day on a bus in London in the early spring, ken c. told me about this, the other Internet tendency. I think everyone was just sheltering me from it before. Haha no.
