Who wins

― Ersaph, Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:34 (twenty-one years ago)

ILX by a country mile.

a couple of years ago i would have said PFMS. But then it got swamped with (more) hipsters.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

hipinion = crappy standard phpbb search engine, threads sink crazy fast, stupid fucking avatars. definitely ilx.

― bass braille (....), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

no board could beat ILX.

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:49 (twenty-one years ago)

You don't have an identity without an avatar

― Ersaph, Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Who are you again?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

who is this ned guy?

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Just some guy

― Ersaph, Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Toaster's right, there's a world of difference between PFMS and Hipinion.

― Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i dont now any of you but i have a hunch that ersaph mihgt be kermit.

― bass braille (....), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

It says a lot about 'Hipinion' that you need a picture to contruct an identity.

It's the retard flickbook of the message boarding world.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

oh I don't think anybody should be throwing the word "retard" around in the message boarding world.

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Anthony, you're a PC apologist and a retard.

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Who are you again

― Ersaph, Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Jon Williams.

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i didn't mean it offensively. (xxxpost)

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

wtf, i just meant we shouldn't be throwing stones

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:34 (twenty-one years ago)

lets call them nerds too

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

i am just joking around, dude!

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I was merely making light of the fact that they need pictures to tell each other apart. Whereas standing out here requires a lot more effort, creativity and intelligence than a simple 900x900 goatse pic.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

dude you pee on cam

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't knock Goatse.

for fucks sake. whatever.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:43 (twenty-one years ago)

haha

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

anthony is right

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

you know it

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

they both suck

― rentboy (rentboy), Sunday, 30 January 2005 22:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Stupid question. What exactly is PFMS?

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 30 January 2005 23:11 (twenty-one years ago)

'PitchFork Media Smackdown'.

the original name for what is now 'hipinion'.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Sunday, 30 January 2005 23:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh. You know, the Pitchfork-bashing is about all I enjoy reading on Hipinion. The rest is just terrible and infested with goatse.cx/tubgirl-esque pictures.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 30 January 2005 23:16 (twenty-one years ago)

ILM vs Hipinion= the difference between hating Pitchfork on ideological grounds vs hating Pitchfork because they rejected your application.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 30 January 2005 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I think you have that reversed Dom

― Ersaph, Sunday, 30 January 2005 23:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i actually liked ILM better till Ersaph got here

― rentboy (rentboy), Sunday, 30 January 2005 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

ILX for the musical discussion. Hipinion for the antics.

― Grand Epic (Grand Epic), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Rentboy did you know that your name is practically an anagram of entropy

― Ersaph, Monday, 31 January 2005 03:10 (twenty-one years ago)

entroby

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:13 (twenty-one years ago)

i wouldn't describe hipinion as the latest version of PFMS, i mean, half of the _old_ crew splintered to stylus / exploding plastic...

― chris andrews (fraew), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

does hipinion have an excelsior/digest thread?

― bass braille (....), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

more to the point, should it?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 31 January 2005 15:28 (twenty-one years ago)

of course. excelsior brought forth nu-ilx. a stickied lol thread is exactly what hipinion needs - it builds character.

― bass braille (....), Monday, 31 January 2005 15:44 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't stand the visual chaos of phpbb's. any board that enables signatures, too, is a trial. i've never seen hipinion, but ILM is calming to look at and therefore wins ovwer anything phpbb.

― derrick (derrick), Monday, 31 January 2005 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

ten years pass...

ILXOR contains all of my worst internet posts, and three of my best.

Good thing you're keeping tabs.

― austinato (Austin), Thursday, 14 May 2015 01:19 (eleven years ago)

lol I honestly haven't so much as thought about hipinion in 5 years at least. Good for them to keep it going.

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 14 May 2015 01:27 (eleven years ago)

we should try to lure those posters back--tell them we still hate Joni Mitchell and Yes or something
