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

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

xpost

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

And still no explanation of NB!

It's not ilx-ese, but I think it's more commonly used in the U.K.?

NB: a British thing, short for "nota bene" in Latin. US equiv would be "Note:", I think.

Thank you!
You see how my loyalty is constantly rewarded!

I feel like much of what I've learned about rhetoric I've picked up from NaBisco's posts here.

NB, I hope that doesn't convict him in any way by means of guilt by association. I still write like Keanu Reeves trying to "act".

I don't think I'm gonna attempt an NB anytime soon.

I just went on the internet last year, and then there didn't seem to be a good jumping on point. Then when I came back it was all a big hoo-hah about secret boards, and blah. Then I came back again and it was all about dr.who.

wrt the hate onion.

yeah i've been here like forever and i still don't even have a clue as to what ppl like know each other or hate each other or had falling outs IRL and stuff....i still get confused by a lot of stuff on here like the luna stuff or whatever.

i think that's why i don't go on ILE that much.

Plus ILX is a testimony to my ineptitude, and years of coming home from work and posting inane comments. I can just do that on facebook now.

I would really like a brief history of ILX in 2007, if that's possible? Who was naughty, who was nice, etc etc.

I attempted an NB WITH a <3 - on a different thread.

I'm feeling brave - should I start a poll? j/k.

I think we need a wiki.
