for tragedy linked to gold id check out the epl league man

Lmao

It’s actually completely irrelevant and centers yourself rather than the actual issue

can we do Dave Marsh next?

Neither engage nor encourage

Seconded

Pavement: Edible or Not

when you find an old thread perfect to discuss the thing you want to discuss, rather than having to start a new thread, and it begins with a fairly offensive first post, so nah.....

This is a much different place than it was 20 years ago, that's for sure.

The whole internet is a different place than 20 years ago.

Sure, but this is a single site that has, apparently, maintained its essential infrastructure while almost completely replacing its cast of characters.

Board lawyers (boring arseholes) insist you start an old thread rather than a new one and posts links to old ones.

Only problem is that people then respond to the og post than the revive

xp that’s good though. Places can calcify. Sometimes you read a thread from twenty or even ten years ago and it’s pretty awful reading, you know? People also are too beholden to stuff like not bumping old threads out of respect for discussions for twenty years ago; and honestly? Who cares.

Some old threads are best left unopened imo

you can usually guess who and what 00s ILM is going to be repulsive about and how so it would be nice to have new threads as a general rule in those cases unless someone is actually willing to go through and delete the worst offenders

even if the bad stuff is 20 years old and the current discussion is totally unrelated it's still a drag to see it at the top all the time and I'm sure it discourages many people from engaging more (which was the point at the time ofc)

Always go for a revive but I'm an old timer.

You can see how attitudes have changed (often for the better), while the world has gotten better (oh wait). It's a nice archive to be read by the people who will replace us (aliens).

My money is on cockroaches

Sure, but this is a single site that has, apparently, maintained its essential infrastructure while almost completely replacing its cast of characters.

even the essential infrastructure is a bit of a myth... the first time ilxors were referred to as "time lords" wasn't until seven years into the board's history, for instance.

I've never heard that term until now lol

I dunno, it seems like at one time there were a lot more self-important assholes who expressed "controversial" opinions for the sake of stirring shit. I might be wrong, though.

opinion writers: i know, i know, every opinion i've ever had was a giant piece of shit. but let me continue to be paid more than you will ever earn to grow and reflect on this experience of my abject shittiness

too bad he's a million years old and sounds like shit

What about Biden?

also a million but smart enough not to tour

I feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful

I will respect the spirit of the thread, but I am experiencing physical pain restraining myself from pointing out what's bad about some of these improvements. Please, someone, give me a cookie

rest assured, we aren't blind to the bad parts

oh I know! in fact I'd written a whole thing about knowing that but deleted it (I guess it should've gone on the second second thoughts thread). to the extent I even have a point, I guess it is: I struggle to KIP lol

That thread is fine & has some interesting comments. That Viking thread needs to be shot into the sun. It’s so fucking laboured.

Oh here we go

I hope that my posts made your eyes roll so hard you got dizzy

ok, i'll come clean, i have no idea what KIP stands for ..

Knowledge Is Power?
Kissing In Public?

Keep it perverted?

Knee-deep in Poop

(that was my post I had second thoughts about posting, so put it here)

killed in the course of posting

ahh of course its Killer Indie Pop

ooh, i think i have figured it out.
which means i get robs post now.
carry on.

There are lots of places to complain about shit - like, basically, every other thread

Isn't "kip" a word in itself?

Yeah it means either to sleep or a shithole

Like a literal shithole or just a crummy place?

The latter, though tbh I’m not sure about the etymology

In Scotland a 'cowp' is a shithole

"Kip" also means bed - which is Scottish. "Kip" as shithole is Irish.
