Will ILM get TOO popular?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Is it possible that with more and more mentions in publications and posted links that ILM could get too popular and thus become dilluted with typical blog posters (those that post bullshit answers like "this album sucks" end)

I mean what could happen next? Will people be defending the bravery or *gasp* LOUIS XVI (I kid, sort of)with "shut ups" and "your bands suck more!"? Instead of holding real discourses on new and old music.

Orrr am I paranoid about this new great website I have found losing its luster because I love it so?

I don't think I was being to sentient, I was jsut asking if others thought this could happen. most blog type sites suck in the way I described. As I was writing it I had a feeling this thread could become kind of like this. oh well. My name is actually meister though. Coffees got me wired I cant trust myself. Im going to stop typing.

I'm sorry Mr. Cunningham, ILM has reached capacity and you'll have to leave.

Ah well, it's been a good run.

hstencil

I'm way on edge from the superstrng coffee i made and just now realized the joke in your first post. Shit Im a bit slow on the uptake and a tad defensive eh?

Sidenote to other posters: I wasn't being overly serious with this thread but I think its a somewhat valid question.

― jmeister (jmeister), Thursday, 31 March 2005 06:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Meister, speaking as someone who's been here for 2+ years now, you should know that people have been worrying about this question since almost the very beginning, and there's a sizeable contingent that thinks that all of the negative things that you predict for ILM's future already came to pass in 2002.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 31 March 2005 06:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Its not so bad now is it? Probably not the elite club it once was and that I would guess those people you mentioned would like it to be but you are right about populism at least the lists have a larger sample I suppose.
