Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

I've got two, namely

That Doom feature in Wax Poetics was interesting. He was all like, "I'm just a regular guy

which I thought was too boring to post, and

GOD CUTTY WHY DON'T YOU QUIT

which was supposed to be a funny post on the lose weight thread, but I thought it might be interpreted as serious.

I keep deleting my posts before I post them!

yeah they're mostly me telling people off and i'm not going to post them here--i just write them out to feel better and then delete

I have posts I have second thoughts about posting in a posts you decided not to post thread!

Oh, you should post them here.

"#^&*$$%&*"

out of context: "searches for 'crepey' and 'ban' have provided me more than enough fodder"

now I'm having second thoughts about posting that ...

this is the turd (this is the turd) that the lord hath made (that the lord hath made)
i will rejoice (i will rejoice) and be glad in it (and be glad in it)

and imagine fozzy bear singing the parentheticals.

That phrase is interesting because it adjusts the emphasis so the sentence is more iambic. But it would have to because

I think I have second thoughts more than actual posts. I keep closing my window.

Ew!

Dammit, I did not need to see that.

Just realized there's a typo on the thread title.

Which is fitting.

Maybe, I've got no speakers hooked up right now.

I think you're all naive.

Timing of joke off. And

Doesn't seem passive aggressive.

i was gonna post on that glenn beck thread that i wished glenn beck would die, but then i kept thinking about how mean that is. plus, i may have already posted that on the glenn beck thread in the past.

I'm about to call my mother to ask her about Glenn Beck. I know she has his Christmas book, but I just want to know. She's a smart lady.

I was gonna post on the '"500 Days of Summer" thread that I thought it would make a good back story for Cobra Commander, but I didn't feel like searching for the thread, coz what if someone already made the comment? I'd have to do 'edit' 'find' 'cobra', and display all posts. So, I posted it on facebook anyway.

I bet no one made that joke, but, wait, are they both played by the same actor or something? Because if so, maybe someone did.

As ilxors we should just collectively stop discussing hype.

Why does this old thread consistently make it onto most read threads?

although my "plus" would have been, "that would just make him a martyr for assholes."

If this becomes a thread connection, I will probably not post it

barely able to see

I have been thinking it is October for a few days now.

why is that thread constantly in the most read threads list?

I don't know? It's got a woman in the title, but it's two years old and the reads are on-site reads. It doesn't make sense. The simpsons porn one only partly makes sense, but a lot of those reads are site reads too. Wait, I get that one, because it persists because of the most read threads page working in concert with google hits. But the other one with the girl I just don't get, unless it's a lesser version of the same phenomenon.

i just wonder if it's some quirk in the system. it's always there.

Those famous Unabomber types

oh, this is actually not a thread about the suggest ban system

I have had it up to here waiting for the Fingerhut catalogue to be remastered.

Fact: www.dhmo.org is a website dedicated to that stupid joke your chemistry teacher makes in high school about dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) being the most abundant, potentially dangerous chemical in the world.

Fact: according to double top-secret web analytics I saw for epa.g0v today, the number two referrer to EPA's website in the past 3 months was www.dhmo.org, and it's been in the top 5 for the past year.

i wish this thread was locked because i totally feel like this now.

like what

xp - like the subject of a thread i had second thoughts about posting on that was a serious clusterfuck.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about bands I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

yeah - i hear you on that one.

While you have assumed the mantle of Branwell in many ways, they were an OG and you are not that.

"but given that you kinda haven't ever acknowledged me or other gay or queer posters on this board"

i still wish i knew what this meant. its been bugging me. i don't want to feel like i've been excluding or ignoring people. have i been? i don't always know who is queer or even who is who on here. i don't remember everyone's story. is that terrible? it kinda becomes one person to me. the ilx person. i think i respond to people if they ask me a question or start a conversation with me. i can be rude though maybe. when i post its to everyone! not anyone in particular.

hey scott, this is all on me - turns out it was all in my head. i'm sorry for saying it. it wasn't warranted at all and not at all true. if anything i'm happy to have this fiction dispelled by seeing responses of other queer and gay ppl here. i truly love reading your posts and i'm glad you're back here posting. i kinda don't want to go back into that thread and read everything at this point so i may not be addressing everything, but basically i was wrong and i'm sorry.

i definitely know that you are a transgender woman, kate! i admire and enjoy your posts and i always learn something from them.

― scott seward

i was kind of self-deprecating a little with that, which i try not to do overall. i guess technically me talking about my lived experience is a form of political activism, but from my perspective i'm an autistic girl who never shuts up about her special interest

speaking of which i saw another funny bumper sticker today

"my puppygirl can beat up your honor student"

anyway, 13,668 messages. sounds about right. i don't know how long i've been here, though, and i'm not sure how to find out.

-

do ilx beefs have beef detectives? i think "beef detective" sounds like a fun job title. i wouldn't want to be one, though.

what i like about ilx is that i can find people my age here. i was at transfem brunch today and i told someone i was 48 and asked "how old do you think i am?", and she said she thought i was older. she's pretty young and also extremely autistic, like, clearly doesn't get social cues. when we were outside after the brunch i asked her about a youtube channel she followed that i'd never heard of and she asked me if i'd seen a certain meme from the channel, and acted out the meme very loudly and enthusiastically. it was a bit about shadow the hedgehog that sounded like something lenny bruce would say about shadow the hedgehog. a lot of stuff about shadow the hedgehog's cock. i'm not really embarrassed about stuff like that but my qpp, who was there with me, was. for the record, i haven't seen that particular meme, even though i've seen a fair number of memes.

anyway sometimes people will say things here that i can't relate to at all, but y'all can talk to a part of my life that i don't have much opportunity to socially express elsewhere. it's this or facebook, and honestly, whatever beefs people here have, ilx isn't built on systematically monetizing the cycle of abuse. i like being here. it's kind of a wistful experience, because it does get smaller year by year. i'm very aware of the impermanence of this place. i value it a lot now, though, value the people here now.

hey scott, this is all on me - turns out it was all in my head. i'm sorry for saying it. it wasn't warranted at all and not at all true. if anything i'm happy to have this fiction dispelled by seeing responses of other queer and gay ppl here. i truly love reading your posts and i'm glad you're back here posting. i kinda don't want to go back into that thread and read everything at this point so i may not be addressing everything, but basically i was wrong and i'm sorry.

― he/him hoo-hah (map)

fwiw i totally get how you got that conclusion. people are always finding all kinds of ways of disingenuous and nasty ways to be hostile to queer people, ways that aren't necessarily obvious to most folks. it's hard for me to know when somebody's doing that or when i'm reading too much into things. if you do read this, i think highly of you and i really like how you acknowledged and took responsibility for your unintentional mistake. that's really fucking hard to do.

as far as thinking the joke was hostile, i have a long history here of reading hostility into interactions that just isn't there. i'm getting better about understanding that actual hostility here is very rare and posting accordingly. i hedged in that post which should have been a sign that i wasn't responding in the best way. anyway, i think i've changed pretty substantially in a good way--i know by increased good feeling i get from others here. i'm grateful to have this place as somewhere i can feel comfortable and learn a lot from. ya'll are very kind and fascinating in the best sense.

xp thanks kate!

It's probably more like double or even triple that, but I changed my login email address several years ago.

I seriously thought some of you long-timers had me beat. I joined the board in January '05.

i did go away for awhile. ned has to be tops, no?

I'd put bets on Ned

5, 785 messages. Many of them drunk posts, but I hope my main points have come across.

I love the lot of you

I'm pretty surprised that I'm closing in on 20k posts. I don't generally feel like I have much to say.

i have nothing to say and i've said it 32,000 times

I’m at less than 10k but this is my… fourth username

I've just crossed 30K this past week. Was always a little curious if that counts my whole 21 years here, or did it get zeroed during the big site reset of the late '00s?

If that's indeed my actual total, I assume it was goosed significantly by running four ILM artist polls, two different decade film polls on ILE, plus many posts on the Eagles listening thread and the CVS obscure singles thread.

posting 57,323 messages works out to like seven per day over 21+ years, which is rather more than i'd have thought. apologies

44,416 in 15 years, 1 month (exactly) = just over eight per day. You're all about counting stats; I'm a rate-stat guy.

46K in 19 years (iirc)
i am at 6.63/day

that sounds...about right?

10775 in 21 yrs ~1.4/day

22,512 is less than I would’ve thought tbh. I changed my name a few times in early years, but I’ve had this one for a long time — 17 years, apparently. There were some years I didn’t post much, tho.

not quite sure how to feel about posting on ilx very possibly being my life's work

You have posted 20,860 messages

25,338 messages. I've had this account since 2010 but I've been posting since 2002. I'm sure most of my early posts weren't tracked since proper accounts didn't become a thing till years after I joined

16,817 in 19 years, maybe twice a day?

i have to figure at least half of my 80,000 are pictures and youtube links. sorry, everybody.

wait how do you find this figure again? i missed it and can't seem to figure it out on my own lol.

Shit kinder you broke my concentration.

1....2....

21,793--

i was active from 2006-2011, then again from 2019-present. About 6 posts per day during that time, which is about right on average, as some days i don't post at all and some days i post like a maniac.

94,672 messages and this has not been my only login

i think i'm slowing down tho, give it another 20 years and i'll probably shut up altogether

another 20 years and i'll probably be dead

wow yeah that's gotta be it, thanks for digging that up! now i know my ilxiversary :) a little three years after i got on rym (late '07).

I would assume all the tallies are only counting from 2007-8ish, when the site got rebooted??

(`"only"’)

You mean I might have posted MORE thank 43 thousand something times? Fuck. I thought that was from when I started which was 2006.

It seems like my first ever post, under my government name, was on a thread about Meshuggah in December 2002. My first post as unperson was in August 2003, but then I abandoned that name until February 2007, and have been unperson ever since.

3,766 posts since May 2003....that's lurking, and sabbaticals.

3717 in ten years, but 3000 of them are probably in the last year, half of which would be baseball live posting and the other half defending something dumb I've said

There's a lesson to learn somewhere in there
