US posters appear more loyal to ILX than UK ones...why?

who the hell are the cluster gang?

xp

sadly been posting since 2001 over here

wasn't it a momus thing? xp

yeah, "classic" thread

Gangs of ILX: Introducing THE CLUSTER GANG

Wait a hold it - how long have I been around? This is scaring me. I have lived in this apartment for four years, and can recall being really excited about ILB in the apartment before this one. And posting away.
Yikes!
I'm loyal for a few reasons - lots of people are funny here, and Ned's war reporting has been the BEST source of information for the past four years.

I wasn't around for Lunagate, but I think it's sad that that community (of which I was a member) got broken up.

I'm probably a special case in some respects. Been reading ILX since around 2000 and I probably
post on average about once a month! If that. Can't explain the loyalty other than being a creature of habit and ILX is near the top of my bookmarks. Plus this place is often a fantastic resource. I'm american, specifically Texan, a grad student, and I have no personal relationships with anyone else who posts!

ryan why are you scared to get close to us

He's seen too many of us get hurt!

you guys need a gang

I've been posting to ILX for ~5.5 yrs

Is there a way to figure it out?

You seem pretty new in this thread.

personal relationships/posting a lot are the things are contribute to people leaving ILX in the first place!

ive been posting forever.

Spencer I can spell it out if you want. n.b. I like everyone on the board.

yeah back in the initial days of my hazing there was a moment or two where i got butthurt and went "man fuck this board" and left for a couple days, but i came back when i got bored at work and the rest is hoostory i guess.

I left for 4 years because I was BANNED. :)

I didn't know you were banned!

And now look at me! "top poster"

spencer seems like a nice guy

he's good people.

Oh yeah.

Yup indeed.

Someone should mold a clay likeness of his head.

Hello?

you should post more pix of you at scenster parties with attractive womens.
gr8080 only posts photos of himself with cougars : /

Spencer is great.

We can talk about Spencer now, I think we've solved the thread "problem".

I always viewed ILX as kind of "transatlantic", possibly also "metrosexual" when that was still cool.

so kind of transsexual, then?

oo-er!

UK folks have higher standards

And higher teeth

I can't imagine why anyone would dislike Spencer. He always comes across as such a straight-up, likeable guy.

I don't think anybody does. Lots of people have been friendly to Spencer lately.

These threads always amuse me because I keep forgetting that there's an entire other layer of people who dislike each other standing right behind the layer of people who dislike each other that I always notice.

it's like a beautiful onion of hate

I am sorry that you think so. It isn't for me.

a blooming onion.

i wasn't seriously saying it was beautiful, btw

it makes me cry, certainly.

occasionally amusing perhaps, mostly irritating, and sometimes sad.

it makes me cry, certainly.

that's the nature of an onion

they also go unpleasantly rotten after a time ... i don't think i'm going to pursue this metaphor.

Worse comes to worse, you can deep fry them.

"You seem pretty new in this thread."

Thank you jaymc - so I guess it's been four years, and I still don't know what the abbreviations mean. NB?

I just found out what <3 is - I thought it was something rude.

I'm loyal because, as stated above, I am consistently amazed and amused by so much that goes on here.
Anyway <3 does not look like a heart at all.

it means less than 3

take one anatomy lesson, aimurchie.

you obviously have no heart!!

take one maths lesson, he has <3 <3
