i still think of 77 as the place where the cliquier ilxors go to bitch about others behind their back

What a lot of other people already said, but yeah this is so not the case. 77 is a friendlier environment because people can share more personal details.
77 = love

jk!
LBI is otm there. Ironically, I think 77 has become generally a nicer place because it's a safe place for even the internet hardmen to drop the swagger and occasionally be earnest and unironic. Though you'd never get them to admit it on ILE or ILM.

it's a little known fact that what actually brought down the court of Louis XVI was the relentless hardmanning from certain courtiers, looking at you Vicomte de Valmont

There are a staggering number of lurkers btw. We've done 35gb of traffic in 10 days. They could crush you, if they weren't all hiding.

That is sort of scary. I should probably keep that in mind before posting 1/2 the shit I post tbh.

Someone was looking at my funny on the bus recently and I had a moment of oh shit what if they're a lurker and recognize me but I don't recognize them and I got really freaked out. Logically I realize I probably had something on my face or whatever but it was sort of scary to think about.

i'm super good friends with several ilxors now, it's a little weird telling people how we met since we didn't know each other growing up or in college or working together. i almost just want to say we met high fiving at a gloryhole behind the lake street kmart because it sounds less lame.

The circles of people I know who post here and the ones who know about ILX don't even come close to intersecting.

I mean, I've got buddies who are all like "Now why did you try to make a song sound like Lou Reed?" but none of them would know the letters I-L-X even if you put their backs to the wall.

nah, we're low on CPU usage. We get through a tonne of data. Tbf, some of those days I didn't have compression on so it was the full effect, but even at that it's barely 80k for a page and all the JS/stylesheets (if your browser hasn't cached them)
― stet, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
oh, my browser has cached them. my browser has cached the shit out of ilx

/does the sums -- that works out to about 50,000 pages a day, which sounds about right xp

i've had to tell a number of non-ilx friends about ilx in order to explain why i thought Hipster Puppies was funny.

One of these days, my brother is going to wander over here from reddit and try to start some Dr. Who thread. Y'all go easy on him.
