dying @ mordy reveal
sad that ppl have to resort to burners to avoid hate mail
I received an email from dmac telling me to lighten up
and an email from clouds asking for a link to a flac of an album by a band
that is it

Oh no we had a nice convo

reporting back to say i logged into my coupons-'n-promos account to set up an ilx forwarding filter, promptly got distracted by a GOG.com sale email, and now i own the deluxe edition of rollercoaster tycoon.

Thread reminded me to check where my ILXmail actually goes, and eventually I remembered it goes to an address I hadn't checked for a while, which turned out to have a full mailbox and probably have been rejecting emails for an unknown period because of it
think it still works now I've deleted a billion "special offers! this weekend only!" emails from many weekends ago tho
so I probably ought to tick "never look at it" but my head is now full of good intentions to check it more often and I think I'll let this delusion nudge my vote up to "may take a while" (though tbh if I don't see a non-promotional email within a week of it arriving it will be lost forever among the Amazon and Sainsbury's and That One Gift Tat Shop You Used Nine Christmases Ago Who Email You About New Products Every Day etc)

am i missing out on lots of mail from my fans?
― Non-Stop Hongrotic Cabaret (dog latin), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 11:18 (nine years ago) link
at the risk of causing dreadful embarrassment, can i just say that if i were the fanmail sort, i would def send fanmail to a passing spacecadet

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System has such a lackluster personality. maybe it should be programmed to generate and send fanmail to ilxors
― Aimless, Sunday, 5 October 2014 00:08 (nine years ago) link
i only check my 77 board private deluxe address

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
― System, Monday, 6 October 2014 00:01 (nine years ago) link
Based on the response, the great majority of ilx emails remain valid, but the majority of these are rarely or never examined. Those who, like me, have dead addresses which cannot be updated make up about 20% of ilxors.
My conclusion: if you try to send a personal email message via ilx, the odds are 2-1 against it being seen in a timely way. With odds like that, the failure rate will probably result in very few attempts to use that feature.

My ILX login email address is long dead and gone. I've never understood why there's no option to change it, I wouldn't think that'd be too hard to code?

what problems do u foresee

― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 7 October 2014 16:35 (nine years ago) link
Well, now I just feel bad for luring you into saying your addy works.
― Aimless, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 17:02 (nine years ago) link
Missed this but would have voted "No, it is dead and gone" - would like to see the hypothetical feature happen someday.
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 17:05 (nine years ago) link
Wow. Creames Fartpoop barely posts at all compared to how often I think about their username.
― how's life, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 17:09 (nine years ago) link
oh yeah I forgot creames fartpoop is the other poster who has emailed me
― lool at the herrlich (wins), Tuesday, 7 October 2014 17:13 (nine years ago) link

not a spreadsheet so much as I wrote "creames fartpoop" on the back of a receipt that I keep in my wallet

mine's an AOL address that I registered when I was a kid in 1998. I logged into it for the first time in ≈ 4 months and was greeted by an enthusiastic WELCOME TO AOL popup; all of my contacts and messages (probably just spam and ox gallstones...) have been purged, but I guess I reactivated it logging back in, so I'm now free to receive webmails I might not ever read.

I am very particular about how I answer polls and these choices displease me.
