2001 I think, but I just used to make up a different name every time I posted. In fact, one of the first threads I posted on with this name (in 2002) was started by me with a different name, and then 75% of the subsequent posts are me under various other names too. It was a great discussion.

2002 d k (i was in high school, ilm pop music theory was exciting, pharrell with his shirt off, ethan p imitations, getting my first blowjob while listening to freeway, any bumped thread from this period and i scan it already blushing for any embarrassing shit i said) 2004 william wiggins (like a stiff british music writer parody concept but then just talking about da band and cassidy singles in no caps, ten posts about nas in a row) 2004 cloverlandthug (ten posts about lil flip in a row, in hindsight chamillionaire sucked) 2007 dylannn (talked about china and working at a hotel, less interested in posting about music except nas and lots of posts with no responses or not very interested responses months later such as http://ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=93677 and ITT -_------->>> pictures of william t vollmann (no shops allowed) and lethbridge and selected films of joey wong 王祖賢 1984 - 2004). roughly 5000-6000 across all four?

there's nothing exceptional there so even in the unlikely event you discerned one, no chuffage would follow

5,000 users sounds like a lot to me, feels like there's only a few hundred regular posters

I'm pretty sure there's a post somewhere where stet broke down the entire ilx user base scientifically. I can't find it at the moment, but there's this:

I still long for the days of a screenshot of 1 Active Users (that isn't after an outage)
I remember ILE starting and never even clicked on it until 2004ish as i was only interested in reading about music (hence why people long for old ILE lol )
― Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Tuesday, 28 April 2015 20:26 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I stayed on ILM for a while when I started. ILE seemed weird and scary to me. I did not love everything. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to ILX Heaven.

been here since summer 2004. only posted a lousy 2,444 times.

12 yrs ffs
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 29 April 2015 00:16 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I stayed mostly on ILM for years before dipping a toe into ILE. I think I migrated to ILNFL before I even went to ILE.

I feel like I read somewhere that lurker / contributor ratio on forums tends to be 90%/10%, so.... ~5000 posters, ~50000 lurkers...?

Or, you know, whatevs the correct math is 🎃
― Realhiphopshire (sleepingbag), Wednesday, 29 April 2015 01:30 (nine years ago) link
I think you posted a 10%/100% which means lurkers are 100% and we are the posting 10% which seems about right
