Blah blah blah SB is an infringement of my human rights blah blah

x-post - Shut up, they did not!

We've done 35gb of traffic in 10 days.

whaaaat - I thought ILX was pretty low on data usage. like each thread is only a few kb. how the hell do we hit 35GB??

at my funny err me funny not my funny which sounds way ruder

I like how on a certain level we're just putting on a show for these people

its a true story guys, i can bring out the chat transcript if u like

No it's OK, I believe you. I guess.

although what he could be learning i can only guess

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.

i just say "it's complicated" and endure the weird looks

'hey guys it's 2011, get with the program, man'

Through (your) a (best) friend (the internet)?

i say 'an nfl message board' and then enjoy the reaction

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.

"internet friends" covers it just fine these days

if I were to walk around in NYC I would probably get like 100 people following me just sayin

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)

oh, my browser has cached them. my browser has cached the shit out of ilx

in a painfully and brutal fashion

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

lol GUYS STOP REFRESHING THE ILNFL THREAD

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

see also: why every time i was out in public i had to verify that i was not hearing The Beatles

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.

has ilx ever been linked from reddit? do we have some sorta emergency evacuation method

the Dr Who crowd are pretty easy going as long as you hate any Dr Who from the last 10 years

http://www.reddit.com/search?q=site%3A%7Bilxor.com%7D

haha, http://www.reddit.com/user/OinkAdministrator

there should be a site for lurkers to hang out and discuss ilx, or maybe a secret board

www.ratemyilxor.com

OK. Who SB'ed the whole sandbox yesterday?

the Dr Who crowd are pretty easy going as long as you hate any Dr Who from the last 10 years

one grump hates the last seven years but is correct about five of them; one hated last year then rewatched it and cried tears of pure delight, then hated this year; everyone else is p much like whatever whatever

was sort of joking but i find the thread v. hard to read cos of mad nitpickery and begrudgement

in the absence of sb what's the recommended procedure, i know 'BAN x' threads were en vogue there for a while but i mean i think we ought to have contingency plans for this unsettling sandbox wastelandscape

BAN DARRAGHMAC

that's fair enough abt the Who thread rly, and I apologise as ever to any lurkers whose lurking experience I may have personally shitted up by either aggressively un-nitpicking or telling ppl to stfu, except Pleasant Plains' Schrodingerian brother, SBing that dude in advance

hay guise have you noticed that SB stand for Sand Box? Maybe when ppl get barred they can just come and chill out here for 30 days, seems p cool

sometimes i yearn for membership to a secret snarky & malicious club. not necessarily on ilx, or even on the internet, just in general

i blame satc

ew

lol!--it's true that 77 in its current incarnation is kind of gross, though! imo it has both the best & worst threads in all of ilx

SB may help prevent threads such as

is OK Computer a terrible album y/n [Started by that wiener from Emearlds (step hen faps) in December 2011, last updated 3 minutes ago by C.K. Dexter Holland on I Love Music] 124 new answers POLL closes: December 31 (in 1 week)

and posters such as

C K Dexter Holland

imo. just sayin

C K Dexter!!!!

He's a star!!!!!

ckd should not be SB'd, come on

he adds valuable flavor to the typical politics thread cycle.
