Should people stop posting after one year

On ILE I long ago ran out of anything interesting to say about myself. I offer opinions on things and joke with friends.

I think it's only in the past year that ILX has started to really gel socially and I'd have been sad to miss that.

if you get hooked you prob won't.

I repeat myself and who knows whether I'm more 'fascianting' or anything. bcz either way, that will not stop me posting.

ILE has made think more abt other things I never thought i would. but in the end the only difference it has made to my life is that the boring bits are reduced to a minimum.

ILM has been very helpful. My tastes haven't changed that much but it has made me work out certain things.

better how? it wouldn't make much difference to anyone else here if i stopped. it make actually make my life better in that i get more done, but ILX = prime source of joy in my life right now (!)

> what are you getting here that you werent a year ago?

abuse from gareth, thats it.

> are you saying pretty much the same thing as you were a year ago?

no i have got more wise to the etiquette of ILX so my posts now will be a bit different from what they were a year ago. i do have the same general mannerisms, nuances and style tho - as thats what makes me me, and while ILX does influence and modify that naturally, a year is not long enough for a change that vast to really take place.

> why? perhaps you are saying it in a more interesting way? or are you merely repeating yourself? to what purpose?
or maybe you are more erudite and fascinating now? or are listening and learning things better? has ilx made a difference in the last year to you? if not, why not?

pretty much answered above. could go into more detail but no real need/desire.

> will you persevere? or do something that will make more of a difference.

i will stay here til i get bored or too busy. neither is that likely at the mo...

> perhaps you are new, and are sick of seeing posts from people that read the same as posts from that person more than a year ago. what do you think?

i will be like this soon too - seeing people use the same jokes as me (not that i invented them), same approach, or different but better - but thats just a reflection on real life. when you're in the pub drinking with mates having a laugh - there's a guy somewhere else in the pub with his mates probably having a laugh about the exact same thing. no big deal.

posting should be down to the individual there are enough restraints in life dont make ilx another one

And then people could post stuff like,
"Hey, that's too bad!"
"Ditto!"

ILX has made a measurable impact on my life just because I read it. Admittedly, I don't get most of the in-jokes, but that's irrelevant. I've read some really touching things here, recieved some really good recommendations, and laughed out loud at some incredibly crass jokes. Recently, I've developed a fascination with certain dark metal bands I would never in a million years have listened to or even heard of because of a thread on ILM, I did a self psych-exam as a result of a thread on ILE, and I've read a bunch of books that no one in my RL social circle has even heard of because I read about them on these boards.

Ergo, the odor of doom around here today bums me out.

Also, Teeny seconded.

People who acknowledge and live with change are sellouts.

That's pretty much how I feel too.

Watch out, y'all.

having said this, i'll probably be more upfor it again when college starts up (more time beside a computer, y'know)

The problem here is that Killian is not my name at all, it's kilian. thanks all the same :-)

Wheres the coffee?

So THAT'S what I'm doing wrong in life, shit.
