How about that feeling when you go on search to revive some cool thread and then realize it's 9 years old

9 year old threads do usually seem a little hazier to me, but sometimes I'll dig up a thread I started a few months ago only to discover it was from like 2012 or something.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 10 June 2016 03:21 (seven years ago) link
The shifts in tone across the different eras is fascinating to read.
In one of the Ali threads someone commented about how ILX-y it is to view things through an American-y lens, a complete 180 from what the 2001-2 threads look like where this place might as well be a UK BBS.

― kites aren't fun (NickB), Thursday, 24 September 2020 19:08 (three years ago) link
I assume Tom D. left after a bit of a run-in with the mods. As for ogmor, he's been known to vanish and reappear. Both are missed.
― sock solipsist (pomenitul), Thursday, 24 September 2020 19:11 (three years ago) link
I'm just operating under the blanket assumption that any ILXors who disappear at this particular historical moment are doing so for the sake of their well-being and will, hopefully, return at a more propitious point in time.

If the implication is that Tom D. is American or cares *that* much about US politics, you may have just found a foolproof way to lure him back into the fold.

i actually had planned to dip out after 2016 because me and this place weren't getting along, but stayed for the election posting.
then Trump won, so I stayed for a need to be consoled. now I like it here again.

at this point in history this is the only place I can post. social media, which I mostly don't use atm, is full of terrible info and has basically turned into snitchbook.
I think Tom might have reminded us a couple of thousand times that he wasn't American

As hard as it can be to remember at times, this particular historical moment is burdened by more than the woes of the American electorate.

and mods were warning him to ease off, slow your roll before you get yourself FPed.
Tom then somehow began complaining about the Admin Log being public as if somehow this had eluded him all these years, despite the fact that he'd posted in the thread called Admin Log Watch Thread multiple times.
I welcome the dude back but I hardly see that yellow card as a 'bridge too far'. I understood the gripes on silby's, but it was either that or let him fly into the sun

So was he close to 51? If that's the case then do be it but let it play out. My recollection is that Tom apologised later to crut.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 24 September 2020 20:41 (three years ago) link
he did! and then...he disappeared? why?
like...I feel like the warning worked, he apologized, and then he...just disappeared anyway.
― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Thursday, 24 September 2020 20:42 (three years ago) link
Tom had a very testy run in with a uk ilxor a couple of months before this, and everyone apologized and moved on in a couple of hours.
xp - is a yellow card a warning rather than a short ban? Ok...
