Before anyone freaks out and complains, I deleted the "calling a dude out by their real name when shit gets heated" thread on ILTMI.

Tiarna[ACCENT]n McDoughnut amirite

we actually call that a fada, apart from that exactly

oops

the fada fort

um not to freak out or complain, but isn't iltmi googleproof already?

it is not

actually sorry, the questions list isn't but the content of each thread is

again, even googleproof doesnt really make full legal names ok, not everyone wants other ilxors to be able to track them down

wait why was this thread on ILTMI?

too much info bout that partic poster?

velko explained it but you can't see it now

mods should have a mods only board to discuss these things, right? it shouldn't be jjjusten decided to do this; it should be the collective board moderator borg. no prob with the decision, you could drop iltmi into the abyss and I wouldn't notice :P

wait why was this thread on ILTMI?

it was started way back when dom instructed the meta crew to use idme as the meta board, before we got moved out to ask chaki

well I guess ill just peacefully register my dissent, what can ya do

i'm gonna go ahead and wager that LJ would never say "right here, ~mate~"

what are you, a BUILDER

"that's the one, chum"

going to go ahead and suggest "calling out a dude by their mother's maiden name when shit gets heated" as a replacement thread

I'm a bit confused: the thread was initially just reposting stuff from other threads, so while I agree its not cool for the real names out there, they already were, on the other threads right?

Or did something else happen just before the delete that I missed?

Well yeah, but already having them in one spot doesn't make it ok to have them in 2 spots. To an enterprising ilx stalker, it was kind of a one stop shopping spree.

mods should have a mods only board for sitewide mods and board specific mods to plot the eventual demise of entertaining threads on ILX rite

I've no problem with deleting the thread, but what are these "prank calls" you're talking about? Is there actually some sort of "ILX stalker" who's calling people?!

yeh they call people in the middle of the night and try on some faux-naive routine, it is dreadfully annoying

Is there, like, some point to these prank calls, or is someone just calling random ILXors?

No.

No what?

No ...sir?

Okay, whatever. I guess no one wants to tell me what this is actually about.

It's maybe not wise to assuemos that you're always the only one in the dark, Tuomas. I haven't a clue about this either.

Billy Idol's been phoning ilxors in the night.

In the midnight hour babe, mwahahahaha

tuomas i will tell u what its ~all about~ if u really wanna know. but u can never unknow it

Tuo, the prank call drama (it was just one call, right?) was played out on the Hipster Pippies thread on 77. The "Best Storyte77er" thread polls three different recaps of the drama and should sate your curiosity.

it might not be the kind of information you love too much of.

Okay, thanks! I've never checked that thread because I saw the words "hipster puppies" and decided it's not for me. Wouldn't have imagined hipster puppies would lead to this sort of drama.

(x-post)

how could hipster puppies not lead to some kind of drama?

Well, I thought it was just thread for pics of (supposed) hipsters and their (supposed) puppies, didn't realize there were book deals and large sums of money involved.

how is $5k a large some of money?

grammatically challenged people earn more, btw

It would be a large sum of money for me. Obviously there's no objective measurement for what is a large sum of money, I guess for some rich person it's just pocket change.

darraghmac lights 10 euro notes to light 50 euro notes to light his cigars with.

don't even smoke, i just have an appreciation of what the euro is about to be worth

ok so now there is a bunch of googleable discussion about something that was supposed to not supposed to get off 77 (for good reason) so i guess its time for another hilarious facepalm mod action. plz do not unlock or reindex.
