Request Access to 77 Borad

^^ just out of curiousity, is there a way to determine whether this is happening? if someone says "hey i'm a longtime lurker but just started posting" when really they are an old timer posting under false pretenses?

(Nov 3, 2008 fwiw. I'm not brand new, but will cop to suspicious.)

Yeah but someone claims to have lurked since ____ but there's no way to verify lurking, so my q was: are there other ways to determine veracity of such a claim and/or eliminate possibility of false pretenses? My guess is no.

VL I wish my tiny gentle snarking would prompt voters to cast paeans or make cases for or post splendid examples of their choices, not hide deeper in the lurky shadows!

Sure, but (for example) saying "I read and re-read the collections as a kid and enjoyed them" isn't a valid defence when caught by surprise at Murray Ball's misogyny. The work you're doing in that thread is appreciated and informative - I'll be sure to chip in when Penny Arcade wins over Calvin and Hobbes/Hark! A Vagrant.

in another era, the first several posts of that thread would have led to someone hastily banning max and jordan from the board

It did! Or so it appeared.

Hey mods - I withdraw my request.

I'll try again when 77 access rules are settled / I've posted more / proved I'm not a Reddit double-agent.

^ quitter

that's exactly what a reddit double-agent would say

lol

Good luck comrades dubmill and video2000 - the future of r/buttsharpies is in your, uh, hands.

buttsharpies thread on 77 is a ghost town these days

but man, remember June 2013? Those were halcyon days.

jfc why did i google buttsharpies at work

You couldn't possibly have thought that that was gonna be an innocuous spread of images.

lol yea of all the inscrutable memes I think that 1 sounds p obvious to me idk

tbf i figured it would be a fairly innocent spread of silly cartoon sharpie drawings on butts, very very different from the reality

still you are both right

lmao

useful subreddit rule of thumb is to imagine the worst it could possibly be from the name then be prepared to have your expectations exceeded

My job here is done - it was marcos' comment on the valuable new users thread that made me reconsider.

VL i meant no harm i just think you should post! if you enjoy this place enough to be a long time poster than you should participate imo

woops meant long time poster lurker

wait, so that isn't pplains' actual work phone number

Sure is. Give him a call!

No issue taken, marcos.

It just made me think about why I wanted to access 77, and what active contributors to that board (and also the public ones, with the exception of COGH - fuck those guys) would gain from my being allowed entry. I'd get a few more entertaining threads to waste time reading, and ILXors would feel slightly more skeeved out about a stranger trawling through posts at least some of them considered to be private/restricted.

Anyway, I resolve to be more participatory. Prepare to be underwhelmed!

vernon locke i will be your friend

aww

this dude seems alright to me

^^ Watch 'em turn when I request access again.

could I make a serious request for full-time 77 access? that cat gifs thread is like all I ever wanted from ilx tbh

just reposting this in case it was overlooked amidst all of last week's excitement (if it wasn't overlooked and you've just tightened up the entry requirements then that's cool, obv!)

it was overlooked amidst all of last week's excitement.

thanks!

cogh is a board of noteworthy visionaries

it should be renamed "buckinghamshire" tbrr but that was still a weird lil outburst from vern there, like of all the things to feel animosity towards lol

ile should be renamed buckinghamshire

I wasn't serious. COGH remains the only ILX board where aussie rules football gets occasionally mentioned, especially since ILAFL doesn't LAFL.

by Christ that's enough for me. Mr moderator tear down this firewall.

Locke thread.

since chaki is back cam we get ask chaki back

dunno, ask chaki

I'm not sure what has happened but I'm sorry. (xxp)

uh just wondering..was my 77 access revoked for some reason?

jokes from the peanut gallery welcome

Weird. I added you a couple of months ago. I can't see any reason why it would have been revoked so I've gone and added you again. I'll have to check and see if anyone else knows what's up.

... omninous

Have had the same thing happen here, was just coming to ask the same

Same thing here, took me a while to notice though

OK, got niels and Bangelo.

Did you add me instead accidentally? Somehow I got in without asking

You appear to have one post on 77 from 2011. Maybe crut just added you. Would you like to be removed?

I think that was a thread that was moved to 77 after I posted on it. Eh no need to remove me, I just wasn't sure what happened

ok.
