This is the thread when we talk about how fucking brilliant ilX0r is

The moderator threads have depressed me somewhat... this is the thread where we talk about all that is good about ILE and ILM. Go on, you know you'd miss it if it wasn't there and it's still to my knowledge the best forum of its type on the Internet.

So, what is grebt about ILX at the moment?

The variety of opinions and the speed and wit at which they are expressed.

I have really loved the Buffy thread - some of the cleverest and most interesting people I've ever known explaining what is so terrific about a show I love. The ILM highlights thread is mostly magnificent too.

ILE= books and politics and silly crap, all good.

ILM= anyone can talk abt music the music the person feels strongly abt and they are not made to feel out of place.

neat people and the fact that all you do is have to put an i behind a pic's address to post it.

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 22 March 2003 21:36 (twenty-three years ago)

if you wanna put a picture up on a thread you just put the letter "i" before the pic's web address.

Speaking as someone who works two vampire shifts a week (4pm to 4am and 8pm to 8am, respectively), I surely don't know what I'd do without ILM (and now ILE). I mean, there's always something here to catpure one's attention and engage in spirited debate about. Also, I've since met a clutch of heckaswell folks via it, so cheers, cheers and thrice cheers.

Now HONOR THE FIRE, you thankless heretics!

There's not enough rude stuff atm. I can distract myself from boredom and depression with rude stuff, because my mind's in the gutter.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:02 (twenty-three years ago)

wait are you guys serious, here I've had to ask my wife "honey where're those html guidelines for posting a picture" every time I wanna post something and in fact all I had to do was http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/abyss/life/images/wudep62.jpeg

Don't tempt me with posting pics. I must put up something really silly.

I'm also thinking of publishing my mobile # in the hope of getting some dirty phone calls.

I think I'm joking.

Any good thing not invented or first discovered by me cannot be true. THE NEDIVERSE HAS SPOKEN.

You dorks all make me feel better about myself (and I'm sure I provide the same service to many of you in return) and ILM simultaneously rekindled and helped destroy my interest in popular music within the space of two months, it was an exciting time

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:23 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm glad I didn't try it all of a sudden.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Erm...I'm doing something wrong, right?

Does it need brackets?

― Gatinha (rwillmsen), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:24 (twenty-three years ago)

― Gatinha (rwillmsen), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:32 (twenty-three years ago)

but is just so fun to type! I'm keeping it real, old school. ILX rules, I can't remember what life was like before it, well I can, it wasn't so bad, but hey ILX is still really cool.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:40 (twenty-three years ago)

DONOR, THE FIRE!

(never mind, 'm just rehearsing ..."kitten on fire!"... "oh no! liar!" ..."do'h, the wire!" eh, no good...)

it'd be sooooo much bettah if 'donor' was a verb? like --

DONOR THE IRE!

sure, ilX0r is virtually irreplaceable - where else could one shamelessly yell "donor the ire!" and know that it's not *totally* off-topic?

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:46 (twenty-three years ago)

you have to run it through photo editing software first, and reduce the size. I think.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:49 (twenty-three years ago)

oh that should be easy enough then!

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Technically, you could specify the dimensions your picture, but it's kind of a hassle.

― jonas lefrel (jonas lefrel), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:51 (twenty-three years ago)

so i should pick smaller morrissey pictures in the future?

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha ha - I can't believe all these ILX regulars who didn't know about the 'ihttp' thing. Graham put it in about as soon as we moved to ilxor.com and it gets mentioned just about every time someone asks how to post a picture.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 23 March 2003 13:42 (twenty-three years ago)

(Or you can just learn how to do the img src tag... it's not that hard, and it even works in the non-ILX "real world"!)

My time in ILX0r limbo has actually made me appreciate how snazzy this place is, you really do get a higher quality of Interweb Mentalist here than on other boards

― DG (D_To_The_G), Sunday, 23 March 2003 14:04 (twenty-three years ago)

are you going to stay then?

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 23 March 2003 14:11 (twenty-three years ago)

you'll ruin my chances of surpassing you on the stats cock.

yr statscock supremacy seems pretty solid to me, ed

It wan't the last time I looked, up up up I go. I'm goignto take a serious break when my dissertation is over.

yr at number 3, with 967 posts

I am no longer in the top fifty. I think it's better that way.

hi DG! long time no see.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 23 March 2003 15:08 (twenty-three years ago)

hi di!

I think the chances of regaining my former statscock glory are rather slim, though having said that I've just noticed I've shot up 10 places

― DG (D_To_The_G), Sunday, 23 March 2003 15:11 (twenty-three years ago)

haha silly me, I've been looking at teh wrong page...I'm one place above you di, coincidentally

statsnatch is like, the best word ever.

― sand.y, Sunday, 23 March 2003 19:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Also jel, you said you were going to ensure you reached 10k on your birthday - when is that? Or do you not want to say, so as to not give Dan an edge?

(Best tactics to beat Dan: lots of new threads on Transformers, and use your mighty moderator powers to lock all threads about sex.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 23 March 2003 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

How about quality before quantity, anyway? Anyone could post 'me too' 2,000 times in the space of an hour. (Hmmm, maybe I will...)

Me, I have neither, but that's beside the point.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Sunday, 23 March 2003 19:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, dumb question - on the statscock, what is the meaning of the number in parentheses after the number of posts you've made in the last 30 days?

― kate (suzy), Sunday, 23 March 2003 20:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I"m no longer present on el cock either.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 23 March 2003 20:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I estimate the end of August/start of September for me, if things carry on the same way. My wedding anniversary would be Sept 1st (my wife left less than two weeks before our 20th!), so some 'excitement' would be a good distraction. I'm now all-time 10th on ILE, and climbing!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 23 March 2003 20:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Look, you want a REAL contest...

Post pics of your members. I'll judge.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Sunday, 23 March 2003 21:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Christine - you realise that you're saying that to Martin?

― Cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 23 March 2003 21:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Cos, like, y'know, he's not scared. Someone better page a mod, btw.

― Cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 23 March 2003 21:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I was probably joking. If anyone *does* post a pic, it's nothing to do with me!

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Sunday, 23 March 2003 21:09 (twenty-three years ago)

In fact, I won't even look at them. Uh-uh.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Sunday, 23 March 2003 21:11 (twenty-three years ago)
