i'd like to take some credit for returning to ilx but alas i cannot. just the right place at the right time.

I let you back in by accident because - as you may have seen on other threads today - I am a useless moderator who causes problems. Welcome back though. You've been very nice since returning, afaik.

was Momus even banned? I thought he just stopped posting. (I realise that he burned his bridges pretty thoroughly after he stopped posting here)

find it hard to imagine how Momus and 2015 ilx could occupy the same space, I feel like something would have to give?

momus wasn't banned. he left before registration and i think before anyone was genuinely banned (or temp banned). becky lucas was the first time i can remember mod consensus that 'action is necessary' but they didn't ban her (they did do some cool thing where there was a message that said 'don't engage w/ becky lucas' that showed up for everybody but b3cky luc4s). they did some clever things w/ c4lum also, like he would be starting threads and they would only show up for him. he did change his username like crazy so maybe he was quasi-banned. pre-registration it was very difficult to ban someone. i'm trying to remember if strongo banned anyone or if he just deleted threads.

huh, so used search function and it looks like momus basically stops posting really in autumn 2006, november really but it looks like september 2006 is the last time he posted "like normal". there wasn't any heated discussion or critical moment. he mentions starting a new blog and starting threads there instead of here because less ppl disagree w/ him there. he pops up very sporadically after that. as far as i can tell this is his last post - list junk food dressed up for yuppies who are too smart for junk food
― balls, Thursday, 23 July 2015 00:23 (eight years ago) link
pretty sure that made the list of famous last posts
― sarahell, Thursday, 23 July 2015 00:25 (eight years ago) link
If his final words were "Does anyone know where to get cheese in Williamsburg?" then he again fails to disappoint.

momus went to livejournal for some time and pontificated dully over there. Dunno about nowdays.

momus surfaced in the marie calloway fucking a famous writer story and it was weird? because i think of him as a grizzled old british man that posted on ilx much the same way as i think of "martin skidmore" or "mark sinker."

i learn from tumblr he has a new song called "electric dionysus."

Momus currently posts a 10-point comment after every song on the bowiesongs blog.

I wasn't really sure what "Gawker" is, so I read that whole thread, and it was kinda depressing. These days I come to ILX mostly to discuss old hippie techno and comics, so I tend to forget there's this whole other world here where everyone is a journalist and half the people read or write to sites where media people gossip about other media people.
― Tuomas, Friday, 24 July 2015 09:57 (eight years ago) link
By definition, everyone on ILX reads at least one of those sites.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 24 July 2015 10:36 (eight years ago) link
Well yeah, but I like I said, it's easy to forget that when you only read your niche threads.

I feel you tuomas, 100% of my knowledge of Gawker comes from that thread, it's certainly not a site I would have ever bothered to be aware of otherwise

I had no idea what Gawker was either, though I'm sure I'd saw it mentioned before, probably on ILX, I do own a TV however
