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).

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.

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.

Isn't "kip" a word in itself?
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 22 September 2023 18:18 (seven months ago) link
Yeah it means either to sleep or a shithole
― ydkb (gyac), Friday, 22 September 2023 18:21 (seven months ago) link
Like a literal shithole or just a crummy place?
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 22 September 2023 18:25 (seven months ago) link
The latter, though tbh I’m not sure about the etymology

In Scotland a 'cowp' is a shithole
― Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Friday, 22 September 2023 18:36 (seven months ago) link
"Kip" also means bed - which is Scottish. "Kip" as shithole is Irish.

"Scratcher" also means bed in Scotland.

my fave song that mentions kip winger is by harvey danger:
"I went to see Kip Winger!He said, "In my day we knew how to party; bands today, c'mon, not hardly."He had a back-up singer (doo doo doo doo)He said, "The metal scene is a disgraceBut I ain't got no dog in that race!"
