hi matt :)

We should break out the iced vo-vos! Very much enjoying your reminiscences of a Billy-Joel-afflicted childhood, much like mine in 70s eastern-suburbs Melbourne.

hah, yay glad you're enjoying

We used to have quite the contingent of mongrels and sheepfuxors on here, but most of em seem to have faded off. Wither ESOJ, moley and gaz? Even sic and AA have been quiet lately or I'm on the wrong threds.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 11 September 2017 23:38 (six years ago) link
sic posts a fair bit on the dr who threads and such, or anything comicbook related usually
aa i only see on his marriage ballot thread, not much elsewhere.
but there's a lot of ilx that i dont even read, maybe they're posting on some yay aussie thread without us lol

A while ago there was some complaints about the prevalence of nasty members being too harsh about the level of music discourse, but I've rarely seen any of that somehow.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 12 September 2017 00:01 (six years ago) link
AA posts a lot on the Twin Peaks thread
― Well bissogled trotters (Michael B), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 00:26 (six years ago) link
yeah AA has basically lived on the Twin Peaks thread for the last four months
edwardo still posts on tennis threads (and the gay marriage ballot thread), KBP posts here and there (and the gay marriage ballot thread), estela pops up occasionally
I saw moley IRL twice this year after not at all for seven, and nearly got him to come to a FAP with one of the above too
monotony is Australian iirc?

Electricsound I very occasionally see post on FB (along with Haitch). Also verty verrrry occasionally see moley (in his IRL incarnation). Gaz sadly I have no idea :(
I always wanted to know what happened to SuperCarit.

Was floating through blade runner thread and got to a post that at first glance seemed epitome of tldr and scrolled down and saw it was by j. so I bookmarked it instead and I'll read it over a cuppa later

LL totes rocks.
More broadly (no pun intended), ILX has been gifted with top-tier women posters (just not nearly enough of them). The thread where men are forbidden to post is often one of the best. Wish we had more threads where people were relegated to just 'listening' to other people.
― Home of the Ill-Considered Gravy Spigot (Old Lunch), Thursday, 16 November 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
wow, thanks, people! like i said on that other thread, my most genuine gratitude goes to the ilx massive even through its many dramatic changes -- i have stuck around here this long for a number of reasons, and managed to mostly lay low and try to interact with people about music and other things in a mutually positive (noncombative) manner. people aren't as mean here as they used to be (i have been here for 12 years!) and i feel more comfortable just being myself. that wasn't the case when i got here 12 years ago, so thanks for being here ilx! i do regret that many women said fuck it and left. i totally understand why.
and hi 5 to all ilxors i have hung out with irl -- wkiw again, i aim to be peaceful in all spheres
it's great if there are spaces for "listening" but tbh i don't like the idea of having an audience. it makes me uncomfortable. that is why i like ilx, i can just be myself!

i think w/ILX and the time i've spent here since 2004(!), the women who have posted here in the past and at present (LL, enbb, roxy, jbr, in orbit, horseshoe, tokyo rosemary, harbl, branwell, and others) have just through reading what they have to say have contributed in some way to making me a better man. i'm much better now than i was back then. i'm sorry that some of them don't post here anymore though i get it. i actually met JBR IRL for about thirty seconds, wish i'd had a moment to talk to her more actually but it was at a show...

co-sign on all of that. i have perma-cringe at some of the things i've said here, but at least i'm aware of it, and it's something i actively think about in my day-to-day life now.

In Orbit should have a radio show or something, I have learned so much from her postings
