wondering if new poster x is an old poster: c or d?

we are one and the same

he also reminded everyone of Dean

Dean of Local Sports vs. Dean of American Rock Critics

dean's big into his local sports too, loves his rugby and gets down to the millenium stadium as often as he can, loves cardiff city and fancies himself as a bit of a rascal when he's on the terraces

he did a hilarious jpeg last year when they were taken over by a malaysian billionaire that made him look like a bond villain

When someone new starts posting, and this instant mania develops about who it is or isn't, it always reminds me of the big slab and the opening scene of 2001. I find it really, really weird.

yeah, i don't think it's strange to wonder and speculate, but sometimes people seem bizarrely convinced that someone would spend time inventing a naive, challopy persona and committing to it for weeks on end. but maybe this has happened before and i'm the naive one

years, in my case

true, it's been going on since the peak era of the noize board...

this is only classic when names are named imo

i don't understand the question in this thread. plenty of reasons to change your handle, but it can also be a bit cloak and dagger.

everyone knows im tom d, the guy who always runs the metal poll.

xpost I don't think the question is about posters changing their handles. It's about when lame new posters like Raccoon Tanuki show up and people go on a quest to prove that he's really Chris Ott sock or whatever.

I think sometimes new posters show up speaking ILX lingo because they've been lurking for awhile before posting. RT actually seemed like a dude who stumbled on this board while googling Travis Scott, and got himself into a Cootie panic when he saw people writing about Taylor Swift and Charli XCX

xpost we've got to do something with our lives.

Cootie Panic have some good stuff

people like knowing who they're talking to ime. darragh otm

are you original treeship or a licensee of the trademark

the former, unfortunately. if i was a more distinguished poster i would totally think about franchising though

anyone done Al Shiptree yet?

he has a kid, so

Remember Treeship's earlier incarnation. But in general it is a lot of trouble to keep up, assuming you want to keep up, especially if you are not paying attention to ILX or the right threads on ILX when the transition occurs. Doesn't really matter of course, unless it is a poster you like and you wonder where they went or it is a poster you don't like and you want to maintain whatever filter, whether purely mental or browser doodad, that you use to deal with them.

People don't know who they're talking to on here 80% of the time anyway.

there aren't any new posters

you can only register if your IP shows at least one previous registration. you can register multiple times without having been banned but you cannot register at all if you were not already registered. given that this is the system, it's no surprise that people wonder "who's this?" when a new poster arrives; the system is closed, this is an inherent quality of the system. all new posters are a poster we already know or knew under a previous name.

thought everybody understood this tbh

How depressing.

It's somewhat surprising to me how infrequently new people seem to sign up, given how often ilx threads show up through google

Yeah, without avatars I have difficulty remembering who said what. I get so many users mixed up, even ones I like. There's probably only 50 users that seem like distinct entities to me.

xp: New people sign up every day and most of them just don't end up posting.

The spartan accommodations may deter dilettantes.

For real.

I've only met IRL ILXors a few times, and there's always this embarrassing sequence of wait, who's that person he's talking about?

one day I will learn who is who out of ogmor oppet and onimo

the former, unfortunately. if i was a more distinguished poster i would totally think about franchising though

Maybe like this? ILF trolls of the future

lol

i would read that novel, then "discuss" it on a message board with short sentences like "i read this" and "i liked this."

I am an OLD poster

I am old

not as old as morbz tho

kinda curious how many different logins lj/branwell/kerr have had over the years

I Am Old (Lunch)

would love if it turned out all 3 were the same poster xp

one day I will learn who is who out of ogmor oppet and onimo

I think controversial posters should be allowed to rechristen and reinvent themselves, what's amazing is they almost never do the reinvent bit

how many fucking david bowies do you think there are in the world

I like how just asking someone who they are is rude, but stuffing a thread with random speculations, in-jokes and half-assed "detective"-style speculations is perfectly acceptable.

speculations, I say!

lol who cares

seems like ol shakey is trying to throw up some roadblocks here...wonder why that might be?

but the thing is ive explicitly said thread isnt for the speculums

straight up asking is rude tho

rejoining and pretending not be yr previous dn is also rude imo

its a minefield

ms. manners over here

way to msgender me i mean wow

figured I might as well double down on the rudeness

^^^there's not enough

he's a strong man for the rudeness
