Every time I check in it feels like going back to my old high school and finding everyone I went to school with still there wandering the halls and muttering to themselves— Mark Slutsky (@totallyslutsky) January 8, 2018

I found ILX through ILM around 2001 or 2002. I prefer ILE and then the noize board. And then I left all of it for about 10 years except a maybe 2 times a year check in. ~3 months ago I started checking it every day. I'm not a social media person and I still have contact with old ilxors in person. I dunno. Sometimes I feel like venting without wanting to see likes or being notified of responses.

xpost, yeah, I am/was super surprised about all the old ilxors on here still posting regularly.

when ilx was great, it was easily my favourite thing on the web
― flopson, Sunday, 25 February 2018 23:25 (six years ago) link
nobody remembers anything that anyone writes on twitter. its the epitome of mumbling down a hallway.
― scott seward, Sunday, 25 February 2018 23:27 (six years ago) link
(xposts) I imagine I'll bail one day--not out of malice, I hope--but I can't ever imagine preferring Twitter to ILX. Not a knock on Mark, but Twitter's ridiculous. The whole idea of it makes me think of "Hank's Thoughts" from Hank Kingsley's fanzine: "I could really go for a Creamsicle right now."

i can't be the only person who is still here because i've been here so long. who else would have me? i just use it now as a respite from facebook. i don't even consider ilx a part of the larger internet. it exists outside of time and space. and i've said it before so i'll say it again: most message boards/communities on the web are horror shows of dumb and sadness.
also totally makes sense to me that a lot of people i knew here who started writing more and more seriously and more professionally would stop typing so much somewhere for free. it takes mental energy out of you.

i cant imagine leaving ilx simply because there's people who I like and love to read on ilx who wont add me on facebook/pretend they dont do facebook because they dont like me, so where else am I going to read what they say?
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Monday, 26 February 2018 00:03 (six years ago) link
I’ve been spending more time on ILX because I’m not doing twitter anymore, ILX somehow healthier of a pastime.
― direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Monday, 26 February 2018 00:23 (six years ago) link
Anyway the heat death of ILX will be no activity for 17 years and then deems bumping a thread with five posts from 2004 saying “did we ever get this sorted” and then another six years and then the final poll results will arrive
― direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Monday, 26 February 2018 00:25 (six years ago) link
that will be a whiney poll then

Flopson
I started reading in 2001, posting in 2003 and left b/c of major life upheaval in 2010. I posted very occasionally for the next six years b/c of work, relationship, and feeling like things had gotten a little nastier.But last year I quit Facebook and simultaneously realized that I have very little time to socialize IRL. And I thought about it for a while and realized that the fake and Zucker-mediated unfulfilling socializing of Facebook had taken over for the (much more) fulfilling socializing I achieve in this board. So I’m back, but I genuinely don’t know whose username corresponds to whom any more, and I just kind of assume yer all my old friends. I miss Slocki and Chaki and tabren and Beth Parker and Maria and Jon and Ian and Jaq and Vic and Nabisco and Crump and a lot of the alexes of various cities, Elvis Telecom, rogermexico, dean, gear, tep, many, many more... and I love the little snippets from the Minnesota crew, remaining noize dudes, tombot, and laurel, and jbr, ned, morbs, Mississippi shakedown, Jess, Soto, Seattle folx, brits, darragh, chil-xors, Whiney, antipodeans and sheepfuckers, laxors, Boston types...the the teacher crew. Probably forgot heaps of you too. I actually got a lot of love for y’all, and w/o Facebook I’m here for the long haul.
