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

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

i understand not wanting to post a picture of one's face

oh shit, Dr. C

If true, that is completely insane.

1. Please direct us to the announcement of this policy you thought everybody understood.
2. This policy, if it exists, must have been implemented sometime after summer 2012, which was when I created my account.
3. WHY would a site simply stop having new people? Is it that traumatic to talk to new people? Is this what you all actually want? Was there debate on this?

I find it hard to believe & hope it isn't true.

oh dear

calm down, it isn't true

loool

(xp)
Really? I find it oddly compelling and some part of me strongly does want to believe and hopes that it is indeed true.

Don't out me

Sorry. Wasn't trying to. Was just referring to the "I am old" commentary.

Did anyone document why the chicken crossed the road? Anyone!?

No worries. Id on't see too good out of this eye

still get thrown by dr. c vs. doctor casino

is the complainte of ray tabano neanderthal?

Everyone is a sock of the original y2k user 'test'.

It's kind of sad that it was believable. (this is a big fat hanging curve ball of a statement I know)

Old-thyme ILX believed in the troll "Ricardo" so why not this?

if you only think "some" are obvious, you are a bit dense tbrr

there are some posters who "fade into the woodwork." some of these are good too, but their charms are subtle and might not register with everyone
