If you had to write a Blurb for ILX what would it say?
Would it be positive or negative?
What about the comments of praise/criticism from other writers or newspaper reviewers?

Would it recount a scene from ILX, or include a precis of events here?

Biographical information?

Jacks of all opinions, masters of no knowledge.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I had never even seen a shooting star before. 25 years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and travel, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky.

― Le Coq (DarrenK), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

C-Man is a terrifiying portrait of a man at the very end of his soul, brutish, venal, unthinking. A villain for our sickened disconnected age.

― Patrick Kinghorn, Tuesday, 20 January 2004 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

very funny, tho.

staving off and inspiring suicidal thoughts in equal amounts since 2001.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you sick of Friendster, Tribe, Ryze, Meetup and other pleasant, fresh, positive, disappointingly mild online communities? Then try ILX. Or suck on a Fisherman's Friend.

― Momus (Momus), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Uh-oh!

OLD ILX vs NEW ILX, YOU DECIDE!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

"Too much free time? Without enough of an outlet for your pig-headed, ill-conceived opinions? Feel like assuming the higher ground on someone, despite an otherwise non-existent foundation of evidence with which to do so in any other circumstance? THEN ILX IS FOR YOU!"

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex, I love you.

Nickalicious' is the best.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I guess Robin Williams WAS in A.I. I just forgot. I was thinking Andrew had A.I. confused with Bicentennial man, and I checked imdb and was reminded of how many truly, truly awful movies this man has been in.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I was going to say "you can stop any time you want" after that, then I decided not to and went back to work.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Aaah!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

You can log off any time you like, but you can never leave.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(incidentally, I've noticed lately that reviewers and blurbs seem to have subtly shifted from 'you must read this book' to 'you must BUY/OWN this book'. wtf?)
