https://i.imgur.com/Pf0c6nX.jpg

The only way to save ILX is to let gabbneb and chaki back, just in time for the 200,000th thread, and then lock them into it by threadbanning them from every other thread in the past AND future, and then TARDIS SOUND EFFECT we’ll be okay until esby gets out of hand again

I guess it's helping ILX on the way to 14 million posts, fwiw.

199,950

i've been planning a So Solid thread for weeks now

you could put it up now and grab the prestigious 199,951st thread position. you could also go for #200K but that involves a physical fight

http://www.liberaldictionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/calculating-8203.jpg

At what time, according to your calculations Mr. Malone, will the 200,000st thread be posted? (please factor in NV either creating or not creating that So Solid thread tyvm)

can't do the So Solid until there's 21 threads to go

Someone do a poll for every year between 1990 and 2019.

That'll get us there

On it. What should we poll tho?

best poll

Polls en abyme.

polls en abysmal

At what time, according to your calculations Mr. Malone, will the 200,000st thread be posted?

some scholars say that the only true order in the universe is disorder. what caused the big bang? some rando, probably, in other words.

these scholars created https://www.random.org/clock-times/

according to those calculations: it will be one of these five times:

01:20
01:50
07:50
16:30
23:00

so is ilx's expansion slowing down or continuing to accelerate?

Both.

what time zone, though? the scholars are one step ahead of you. according to the time zone institute, these are the options: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/current-number-time-zones.html

using leaked tools from random.org, i came up with these 5 numbers between -12 and +14:

-10 -11 -10 0 -9

that corresponds with:

UTC -10 small region of USA and 2 more HST Honolulu
UTC -11 American Samoa and 2 more NUT Alofi
UTC -10 small region of USA and 2 more HST Honolulu
UTC +0 United Kingdom and 24 more GMT London
UTC -9 Alaska/USA and regions of French Polynesia AKST Anchorage

no need to thank for me for all this information i've put together - just go ahead and add it to your stochastic models and plan accordingly

Impressive stuff

got a horrible feeling thread 200,000 will end up being some poll about the best bassist in an early 90s midwest indie band or something

wait - 2 of the 5 rando time zones were honololu. that means honolulu came up TWICE as much as American Samoa, London, and Anchorage, and infinitely more times than the time zones that weren't selected at all.

that means that the time zone must be UTC -10, Honolulu time. let's go ahead and memorialize this breakthrough:

the 200,000th thread will be posted at 01:20, 01:50, 07:50, 16:30, or 23:00, Honolulu Time, Saturday, February 1st.

xp threads vmic though

Well yezh

it's what we will have would have wanted

uh, they've both "been back" for a while -- pretty sure me and Shakey and a few others spent about an hour discussing bagels and brunch spots in SF w/chaki a few years ago ... so maybe this momentous thread is some t.s. eliot hollow men thing where it's a bunch of former "ilx bad boiz" amiably discussing bougie restaurants in gentrified cities

TWENTY ONE THREADs REMAIN

word on the street is that stet is going to post the 200K thread and use it to explain how ilx is being shut down and everyone is instructed to go to discord and twitter instead

personally, i think all of that is a distraction from the helicopters and the FEMA camps

I’m ashamed to admit this is the first time I’ve ever watched that video straight through without looking away from the screen

Do we do the fireworks at 200,000 or 200,001? I don’t recal a thread zero.

It's official!

As of February 2013, ILX is hosted on a server (paid for by board users) in Canada. Running costs are paid by yearly funding drives.

Currently, the board is about to celebrate its 200,000th thread. However, debate has emerged to ascertain whether this count is accurate, as there is speculation that this excludes deleted threads, as well as threads counted on the temporary board.

Other posters have noted that the count may be suspect due to the repeated recoding of the site. The site has put its 200,000th thread celebration on hold until it can figure this out.

it may be written that this was the incident that sparked one of the many, many physical fights on the 200,000th celebration thread.

NINETEEN THREADS REMAIN!!

for example, i see that "StickyEmotions" has been toot tooting around in the Felching article as well

i'm activating a cyberhack squad in a bunker under the ocean

Do we do the fireworks at 200,000 or 200,001? I don’t recal a thread zero.

at 200,000!

and here is my argument: we're not celebrating the exact passing of 200,000 years. we are celebrating a big dumb round number. and that big dumb round number is 200,000, not 200,001

lol of course I added it. interestingly it hasn't been reverted yet. once we get to that thread, I can link here as the source.

nah, I like it! it's a little part of ILX, out there
