Request Access to 77 Borad

man shakey you are the worst

not really, but dude c'mon

I think shakey and stanM should both be inducted, and given honorary 77 threads

i'm fine w/ stan m being a weirdo abt 77 so long as it doesnt lead to any threads being deleted

LLB, YK, Ówen, EZ, M@tt added.

soon everyone will be allowed and then you can just delete ILX! hurray!

everyone already is allowed

so.... why does this thread exist then? i am confused

except shakey

shakey is the only person on ILX not allowed on 77

why? because shakey's not cool enough

*cries*

shakey, 77 only exists so that regular users of ILX have a space to talk about things they wouldn't necessarily want accessible to lurkers and/or random googlers of ILX. the only requirement to be admitted to 77 is that you be a regular poster on the board. that and you have to have a klout score of about 75.

Shakey, just opt in. It's not all "hilarious noodz".

are there smoking jackets and/or monogrammed bathrobes

Surprisingly some people trust others enough to talk about their jobs, relationships, and medical probs but don't want it easily googleable

No, just organ donor cards and union reps

yeah I don't really wanna talk about any of that shit with you guys.

no offense.

thank you WmC

maybe a good reason for not joining 77 is feeling that your posts would be un googleable & so ineligible for the crossover market. like shouting down a well, you would be depriving the wider internet of your well-typed insight, & missing out on a bigger audience share.

yeah I don't really wanna talk about any of that shit with you guys.

no offense.

it started out as a place for the cool kids but now is pretty much just like the rest of ilx. there are threads about all kinds of stuff including music and movies

shakey there's like 4 years worth of threads on there now (some of them actually p great) aren't you at least remotely curious?

Shakey Mo might not be aware of goddamn numbers in the titles of things or hipsters who don't believe the beatles are popular.

omg, you were actually part of that initial conversation and you didn't even know that there was an epic spin-off thread:

xp - i know the beatles are highly influential and significant, but comparing them to pizza is exaggerating their omnipresence

there is literally no more omnipresent music than the beatles except, maybe like, Jingle Bells and Happy Birthday and shit

I can understand not actively liking the Beatles or just never having paid too much attention or whatever but people who are like "no, they SUCK" = yeah grade-school level contrarianism

Oh the thread did get deleted!

Shaky, a couple things:

1) I don't know the percentage of ILX on 77 now, but surely these days the onus of elitism falls on the holdouts

2) Yoi started a thread about another poster in ILE, one with a very public profile, one who had taken great pains to keep demarcations between his public & ILX selves separate, one who is usually the first to object whenever other posters are singled out with their own threads. Despite all this, he took the thread with good humor, and only asked that it be moved to 77 so he could have the privacy to talk freely about w/e he was going to say, considering he had a wikipedia troll who continuously posted his ILX username on his page.. And instead of good-naturedly holding your nose & taking the plunge,--considering that it was on 77 at behest of the person you started it about--you claimed propietary right and had it deleted in a huff. Do you see how that might not be, like, totally cool

fwiw I didn't know that about his wikipedia troll. tbh I have like zero knowledge of his non-ILX-related activities. I had figured since the thread was exclusively about things he's posted on ILM, and nothing more, that it probably wouldn't be a big deal - it was simply an expression of my ongoing fascination with where our tastes both diverge and overlap and it was meant it good humor. I didn't know he was skittish about it - and he's entirely within his rights to ask that the thread be moved/modified/deleted - but I was completely unaware of his feelings about it and the thread just disappeared. which, from my POV, was fairly irritating. (If aero expressed his concerns on the thread or ILX-mailed me or something, I missed it). I'm sorry if I've inconvenienced ua in anyway and I'd be happy to let him know that. nothing but love and respect for him, he is a bro.

That being said, I feel I'm entirely within my rights to ask for a thread I started to be deleted, rather than to have it continue in a venue I have no interest in participating in.

what difference does it make to you whether it carries on somewhere you can't see, or gets deleted?

Shakey, do you ever lock your doors at night or do you think that's too elitist?

considering he had a wikipedia troll who continuously posted his ILX username on his page.

lol not cool

Troll did the same thing to Ned's wiki page too, if you can believe it.

lol

Shakey, do you ever lock your doors at night or do you think that's too elitist?

the difference is I don't have to ask a mod to lock my doors for me or let me into my house

What about your office? Can anyone wander over to your desk from the street?

Okay, enough with the analogies. You're a quality poster, but when you throw around words like "elite" to describe 77, it really sounds like you don't quite get the gist of why that board exists. You don't have to gain entrance if you don't want it, but it seems more of a stubborn action to take than one that has any merit.

srsly, free bord

stop raining on our elite qualities, pplains

it really sounds like you don't quite get the gist of why that board exists.

considering it existed for some time (a couple years?) before I even heard about it, forgive me if my initial impressions die hard

but yeah just in principle I don't like things on the internet that require me to register/ask permission and I avoid them like the plague for the most part

you have to register for ilx

What if you were just added anyway. Would you freak?

I spend 35% of my browsing time searching for secret knocks. Great way to find coupon codes to use at Walgreens.

you have to register for ilx

I strenuously objected to this policy when it was put in place fwiw

er I think I did... maybe I am confusing it with the debate over whether this should be a reg-only board or not.

yes, because true anonymity with no logging in works so well

What if you were just added anyway. Would you freak?

This won't happen.

There was an ADMIN thread at the top of SNA for like a week only a month or so into the board's existence. Granted that thread was about how people were talking behind one another's back on 77, but times have changed!

but yeah I can count on one hand the number of internet services I have registered for, and at least 2 of them are things I never use/only created so I could register for something else

There was an ADMIN thread at the top of SNA for like a week only a month or so into the board's existence.

I tend to ignore ADMIN and ILX meta threads because they're so annoying and jampacked full of people sniping at each other over imagined/inconsequential personal snipes and also I tend not to care too much about the technical stuff that goes on in the background of this site.

Granted that thread was about how people were talking behind one another's back on 77, but times have changed!

how very reassuring

er that should say "personal slights" there

This won't happen.

What if instead of asking, he simply said "Open the 77 Pod Door, Mods."

yes, because true anonymity with no logging in works so well
