xpimo you are wrong about that, but I'm not going to spend time digging through old posts for evidence

Yeah he was noxious

I mean it is obviously nice to think he stopped posting because he suddenly got a job or a girlfriend or simply grew up, and if he’s lurking that is very sad (for him I mean - obv it is happier for us than him posting); I’d feel bad about pointing out his inadequacies in the very low-stakes game of being popular on the unpopular messageboard ilx if it weren’t for the fact that he was clearly kind of a prick
― Pierrot with a thousand farces (wins), Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:16 (five years ago) link
I found him good natured usually. He was glad to be ilx's house churl/boor though and that's never been welcomed here fbow

i'm sorry, i'm missing something - did they self-ban or something?
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:20 (five years ago) link
it’s a low stakes game but they play for keeps — ilx the movie. xp

Retired, karl. And claimed they were not an individual but a collective.
― Trϵϵship, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:21 (five years ago) link
ilx is funny like that, most places embrace content-free boorishness
― Pierrot with a thousand farces (wins), Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:21 (five years ago) link
ah, thanks treeship
a collective? ok, gotta go re-read the thread, sorry
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:22 (five years ago) link
Maybe not in fancy england wins but here in america blah blah etc xp
― Trϵϵship, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:24 (five years ago) link
The thing is ilx has a lot of beloved/behated one-note trolls but this one was just particularly rubbish at what he was trying to do, which is why this is the first and only time he has really been discussed (and only now thanks to a deems bored conspiracy theory)
― Pierrot with a thousand farces (wins), Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:26 (five years ago) link
He borrowed the joke from dayo in 2013. Not worth rereading imo xp

"Our little project was not without its faults, of course, but we are just regular guys after all. A few did not stay in character and posted as regular users, developing bonds and connections that were not the team's initial intent. That was to be expected, though, as this was purely voluntary and done on downtime."
lol, this explains so much! sometimes i'd interact with infinity and they'd be totally nice! and then they'd be a total asshole other times, and then soon afterward i'd forget what their deal was and repeat the whole cycle
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:27 (five years ago) link
There were a few days last year where he seemed to be sexually harrassing me. That was weird.
― Trϵϵship, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:28 (five years ago) link
“As a joke,” i guess but bad joke. Forget the specifics
― Trϵϵship, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:29 (five years ago) link
Good lord Karl, it wasn’t a collective

He said something nasty in reference to a poster’s personal history kind of recently, which I don’t think really hit as hard as he hoped and said more about himself than his target.
― omar little, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:39 (five years ago) link
oh, ok. well, i guess at this point i'll join the chorus of people who conclude "...who cares about any of this"
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:41 (five years ago) link
wins otm. discussing him this much now is some Philippides shit
― rob, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:42 (five years ago) link
i am more interested in that metaphor, tbh
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link
There is no “I” we are all a collective, as infinity sign once said with trademark eloquence
― Trϵϵship, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link
My usual rule of thumb is to never acknowledge or interact w/anyone when they’re begging for attention or desperately trying to be controversial.
Also if 77 is considered by many a board for more personal content that will remain on the low, maybe quite seriously make sure the posters who are allowed on there aren’t potential creeps.
― omar little, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:48 (five years ago) link
I realize we’re all potentially creeps
― omar little, Saturday, 12 January 2019 18:49 (five years ago) link
Yeah like 77 can never be “vetted”

please send a scan of your drivers license, social security card, and passport to me along with some references and I will set up your verified 77 profile

omar otm re 77 we let in some v dodgy characters and its rly not wise to treat it any differently than any other part of ilx, save that on-board it's treated with a bit more respect
course everything is v no after you no no after you now so even that probly doesnt hold

lol, this was an indefensible stretch tbrr, but basically we won the battle against giving this guy attention, let's not celebrate by giving him tons of attention
― rob, Saturday, 12 January 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
Oh, gotcha! I was thinking that infinity was the relatively unknown courier, finally achieving some sort of fame/recognition just before dying
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 12 January 2019 19:08 (five years ago) link
Oh hold on, is this all about some 77 shit?

∞ was one of my favorite posters of the past few years and I'm sad to see him go, but it's understandable. The announcement itself was a little weird, to be sure. sleepingbag is another longtime favorite ilxor though, and if esby is him, then I'm glad to see him back after his hiatus.

It’s pretty unironically cool that this board is so sclerotic that every new poster is immediately supposed to be an old poster and they usually are
