Wow, ten years.

10 years since IF founding, we were mainly playing there around '05-'06ish i think (which is still a long time ago)

I know! We only got here eight years ago (well, eight years ago as of Aug. 8), but it just doesn't seem like it's been that long.
― ms. cookie (carl agatha), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 17:40 (twelve years ago) link
Hey, 8 years on 8/8! We should do something celebratory.

Did we arrive on 8/8? I thought we landed in town on 8/9.

I got here in August 2002. Whoa.
Also D and I went on our first date 13 years ago this month. That was my last first date!

Time is so strange. I was talking to my 16 year old niece when I was in Cape Cod and I started thinking that things that I perceive as being relatively recent happened when she was like six years old.
We were also talking about the Beastie Boys and I realized i stopped caring about them before she was born.

This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of both C@n@st@ and T@ngerin3 Arts Gr0up.

I can never remember which was leaving day and which was arriving day but I like 8/8 bc of the NOFX song so I say we officially adopt it. Besides if we left on 8/8 it's not like there was any going back at that point.

But I want to know the date we actually arrived.
It bothers me when there are dates I can't verify. Since late 2004, most events of any significance in my life have been documented by emails, and then by ILX and FB. But I cant find emails about the move date.
I so wish I could find my email accounts from 1997-2004.
― Je55e, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:10 (twelve years ago) link
Surely Jeff has detailed logs of the move.
― Je55e, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:13 (twelve years ago) link
Sadly I do not.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:16 (twelve years ago) link
I used to keep very detailed journals, and ive resumed doing them, but I forget so much and I wish that everything I did was recorded automatically. Hopefully Obama will work on that in his 2nd term.
― Je55e, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:20 (twelve years ago) link
Like when I read those stories last year about IPHONE IS LOGGING YOUR EVERY MOVE!!! My first reaction was omg that's awesome!
― Je55e, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:23 (twelve years ago) link
Since late 2004, most events of any significance in my life have been documented by emails, and then by ILX and FB.
This is basically why I became lax about updating my spreadsheet of every movie I've seen. I'll go months without logging anything b/c I can usually put it together later with a combination of e-mail, ILX, and my Netflix account info.
― Trewster Dare (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
I think about this sometimes, too. After I switched from Hotmail to Gmail in 2004, I was trying to archive or import all my old e-mail, and I accidentally deleted it instead. :/
― Trewster Dare (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:29 (twelve years ago) link
I have no email pre gmail.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 23:34 (twelve years ago) link
but I forget so much
Last Saturday you remembered that I was excited to get sandwiches at Carolina Deli in the summer of 2004, and you remembered thinking that you didn't like sandwiches as much as I did. I think you remember plenty.

Siri will probably help me record my life.
Xp but I want to make my whole life searchable. I can't tell you how often I've wanted to Ctrl+F an event. Tom_s and I were JUST wishing we could replay a certain event to figure out what happened.
― Je55e, Thursday, 2 August 2012 01:14 (twelve years ago) link
I only have a handful of emails from 2004 and 2005. For some reason, I deleted a lot of them back then. Now I regret that.
― Jeff, Thursday, 2 August 2012 01:24 (twelve years ago) link
It was a younger dumber me.
So long Chicago, iatee and his cronies win. Attributing fake quotes about me advocating a race war is the final straw. I'm outta this fucking haven for bullies and assholes. Some of you know how to find me on FB or Twitter. Peace.

Boo. I'm sorry, jvc. I hope the break is helpful.
― ms. cookie (carl agatha), Friday, 3 August 2012 12:25 (twelve years ago) link
Ugh, sorry dude. I've been getting worse feelings from ILX for a while now and I've been limiting participation mostly to ChILX and some 77 threads. I'll be sure to give you a heads-up about pub quiz next time b/c it'd be cool to meet you and plan that race war.

:( bye jonit's been fun, see you around maybe?

i don't know how to find jon on twitter. i guess it's too late now.
eeeeeeeearrrrly friiiiiiiiiiiiiiday! kinda ridiculous to come in for 3 hours of work but i'm not complaining.

i'm feeling surprisingly good considering we forgot to replace our city sticker and so had to pay $85 for the sticker + the $60 late fee + a $200 ticket
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 3 August 2012 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
Yikes.
― ms. cookie (carl agatha), Friday, 3 August 2012 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
ugh that just reminds me of the time I had my windshield replaced, forgot to ask the shop to cut the sticker off, then came back to chicago and a month later got the ticket/fee/new sticker screwjob

srs question: do you think there is a 'party line' on certain ilx threads where groups of posters will gang up and bully anyone who does not conform?
― DX Dx DX (dan m), Friday, 3 August 2012 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
not much on threads i have anything to do with, but i'm sure crazy shit goes down elsewhere and i wouldn't know about it
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Friday, 3 August 2012 17:18 (twelve years ago) link
I think so, even if it's unspoken. But I know that there are cases in which it is or has been spoken.
― Je55e, Friday, 3 August 2012 17:37 (twelve years ago) link
dan m what is your opinion on the matter?
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Friday, 3 August 2012 17:46 (twelve years ago) link
Yes.
― Trewster Dare (jaymc), Friday, 3 August 2012 17:52 (twelve years ago) link
What Jesse said, essentially. I'll say only that I think there have been a few well-meaning, possibly misguided posters who've been chased away because they didn't quite sync up with the consensus, or they expressed their views in an unorthodox manner.
― Trewster Dare (jaymc), Friday, 3 August 2012 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
I think there is and I'm not sure what can be done about it. The same behavior has existed on just about every message board I've ever used.
― DX Dx DX (dan m), Friday, 3 August 2012 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
I also think that, for better or worse, certain posters get tarred for expressing an unpopular opinion and are then dismissed out of hand forever more.
― Trewster Dare (jaymc), Friday, 3 August 2012 18:06 (twelve years ago) link
Regardless of what else they might post, that is.
To some extent I think it's about the standards of the community, but sometimes that gets stretched into bullying.
