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
ew
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.
or did I just give too much of the game away, hmmmm
And the lion lies down with the lamb....
who are the ilx hardmen tbh
stanm
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
fuck lurkers
all you lurkers reading this
fuck you

haha
he’s right tho
SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT
no pics please
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.
hi, lurkers!
Yeah fuckers. Don’t stir up this hive of lurkers because we will be on you like
stevie d was telling me a story the other day (IN REAL LIFE) about how he was out and about and someone came up to him and said “excuse me are you stevie d from ILX” because they had seen a picture of him and abbbottt.
*twilight zone music*
a friend of mine who lurks got to talking abt ilx w/some friend of his who im not acquainted with who it turns out also lurks and the guy was all ‘i really like the poster called ice cr?m, i learn a lot from him’ /braggin
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.
both of those stories are fkn mental!!
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

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??
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
haw
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
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
