this but unironically, unless someone uses their real name I probably have no idea who they are

yeah i've never met any of you folks and it took me years to start being able to tell you apart. raggett and whiney spent years blurred together in my head. similarly tylerw and imago. it's only now that the board is "dying" that i can recognize anybody here as individuals!

Yeah, there are a few dozen posters who stand out as distinct entities in my mind but without the presence of, like, faces and voices and other distinguishing features beyond passages of text on a blank white screen, the identities of a lot of other people here are an unfortunate blur for me.
Lol at confusing Ned and Whiney, tho.

For those still confused, Ned is the one without a strongly-stated position on bronies.

Nothing unfortunate about that blur tbh. It highlights the hivemindy-ness of this place.

Many xps I know JBR's reasons for leaving but "maybe they all left for reasons that also included wanting to break free from habitual posting on a website."

re: the issue of "nicey-nice" ilx - like anyone who spent any amount of time on usenet, i've got a lot of experience slinging invective. i like it, in fact - in the same way that i like drinking. 2018 ilx appeals to me because it's encouraged me to moderate unhealthy personal habits.

I'm half asshole on my dad's side, so I always appreciate environments that discourage indulgence in that unfortunate heritage.

similarly tylerw and imagohmmmm????

I have a feeling rushomancy's name blurrings are based on nothing more than size and shape.

what's imago's official position on "doghouse"???

forcing imago to listen to 90s dead shows would probably be a good thread

happens to me too. interestingly enough, i often get confused between rushomancy and "reggie (qualmsley)" particular when they used to post heavy in the politics thread

there's a sort of wild psychedelic freedom hidden in this music that i'm absolutely barmy for. like at their best they could be among the foremost exponents of the american wpf, just like the boredoms are for japanese, julian cope for english, faust for german etc idk what even is freedom
the wpf/corny bar-band line is narrow, though

the louche, leering dandypants posters of ilx
if a band now emulated the sound of those early ozric tentacles tapes of shaggy krautrock/hawkwind stuff they would totally be beloved by the hep brooklyn weed crowd.
