How about that feeling when you go on search to revive some cool thread and then realize it's 9 years old
like there are threads here that are older than my high school students.

― El Tomboto, Friday, 10 June 2016 03:19 (seven years ago) link
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.

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.

Martin hadn't posted in nearly a year by the time of his death, in fairness. Five years if you don't count his "I am starting up FA again" thread.

What was the name of that ILXor who used to (before ILTMI existed) make all sorts of colourful TMI comments about riding her boyfriends big dick, her bowel movements, etc? She was cool.

idk -- we've got enough threads that are bowel movements started by big dicks

She was before my time so I have no idea about the bowel movements thing, but her "grocery groin" comment is all time.
― how's life, Friday, 10 June 2016 12:22 (seven years ago) link
Rumpypumpkin! Yeah, she's the one!
IIRC she got pregnant and used to post some detailed updates on the subject, but I can't remember if continued posting after the kid was born?
― Tuomas, Friday, 10 June 2016 12:23 (seven years ago) link
Apparently this was her last ever post on ILX:
P.S - Most I've ever managed to express is 3oz, my boobs invert into my chest wall when they sense the plastic pump so I don't bother with it. If I'm not 'pumping' for my benefit, for example a full nights sleep or a couple of drinks then I ain't doing it for his mothers benefit either.
Sorry, I only come on the internet to bitch about his parents these days.

j. is genuinely hard to search on ilx -- tho last time his absence was lamented it was pointed out he'd posted mere hours before
(he's busily prolific on FB currently so it may just be early winter-term work that's keeping him away)
