Hi,

MarkH won’t stop parodying ken, ethan, and gareth’s amusing threads on what we might call the ‘little things in life’. Can we get an IP ban? It’s like the watercooler leaked all over this bitch.

It’s like Seinfeld wasn’t on every day for a fucking decade.

Another depressing slice of life on the good ship ILX, when will we ever learn?

It’s like the watercooler leaked all over this bitch.

I believe the correct term is “gushed”.

also ban enrique:

I forgot to lock it!

perfectly legitimate topic of discussion.

ok then

Is it possible to ban people from starting threads, or at least limit them to something less than 127 a day?

he asks as he doggedly embarks on his third thread of the day! I seem to remember in the early days of ILE, back in the Greenspun era, there was something in the Q&A about how it was considered if not unacceptable then slightly “bad form” for a user to post multiple threads in the same day.

I certainly see the sandbox as being a more relaxed forum than ILX proper, but this is simply my personal perception and I can’t readily attribute it to anything. I am sure you guys can help me out by brainstorming a few potential reasons.

Sandbox feels more liberal and relaxed. Maybe its coz its an ephemeral thing, at least theoretically.
