I'm terrible at remembering dates but I was around during the joyrex.com days. I remember this being one of only four of five sites where you could regularly find new info about Aphex Twin and his music. I remember lurking for a long time before I created an account. I remember people like Penguingod, EJChris, Idi Amin, Vik, Derelikt, Spatula, Pen Xpers and the dude that I think was a mod and had a orangutan as his avatar. I remember the huge fights people would get into with Pen Xpers and Theocide (I think) making a site where you could read hilarious quotes from Pen. I remember when you could read a music thread in the same forum as a poop thread. I remember how the board would be flooded with threads on days like when Squarepusher or Aphex would release a new album and how the general level of excitement would go up. I remember getting free cds in the mail from Spatula, Vik, Atop, Derelikt, and some other peeps whose names I forget. I remember sending out a lot of cds to people, because most of us were still on dial-up and couldn't always download. It was the only way some of us might hear a rare set or album. And it makes me feel old when I think of how old Spatula must be now, seeing as how he was the youngster on the board back in the day. I remember the board seeming like more of a community back then.

Do you remember pinky?

The name sounds familiar but I could be wrong. Male or female?

Female mate.

where is thejacketloose? thats my question

Look mate, don't fuck with my dad. He's a plasterer now, used to be a welder, he's short of work now like.

for the longest time i would have said the first...but the first option is becoming disgusting beyond belief.

I am the eternal newbie.

I flit from messageboard to messageboard like Eris sewing discord and strife across the interweb. I stay long enough to make enemies but never long enough to make friends, jaunting off to irritate old fogies with my latest obsession whatever it is, and wherever it takes me. It is the way to eternal youth or eternal internet youth as the case may be.

you seem really pleased with yourself, you fossil you

i like 'em young.

what are these dots for?

post count? activity? penis size?

I want to see everyones warn-status.

I've been told, and on good authority, that you are in fact, a 40 year old weed.

This is absolute truth, and if you don't know who weed is then this 100% confirms that this is in fact absolute truth.

You can say whatever you like, it doesn't make it true.

ill say it then, you are a 40 year old weed

At the risk of derailing the thread with a response to a throwaway reply to a joke comment...

I'd say that trolling - or conversation hacking - or whatever people want to call it - is generally down to intent.

Though intent is often a muddied stream. It's not always easy to tell when someone is being deliberately malicious or just bored or even genuinely asking a question that has an easy or expected answer. (I've recently read a great deal of sociological research on trolling in its many flavours, and the odd thing is that many supposed trolls actually see themselves as some kind of philosophers trying to get other people to confront their own opinions and biases - which to me just seems like a rather arrogant thing to do. But it's not as clear cut as "just being an arsehole" which is how I always read trolling.)

That said, in mine own defense, none of these things ^^^^^^^^^ are my intention.

I just happen to particularly enjoy the part of the obsession curve where the obsession is new and feels like a whole country explanding out in front of you to explore. It's like getting to fall in love, over and over again without any of the emotional damage. And it's good for the brain, to keep absorbing new material.

For some reason that kind of new enthusiasm *really* winds some people up. But I'd always rather be - and be around - people who are on that part of the curve. Even when it's a fandom of something you've been into for decades - turning new people onto that, and seeing their minds light up as they encounter it for the first time - wow, that's almost like hearing it for the first time yourself. When you get to the point in a fandom where you hate yourself for loving something, and project that hatred onto everyone around you, and even the artists themselves, that's really when it's time to get off the fandom curve and try to get into something else you aren't so jaded about.

does this mean you will be leaving soon?

not to be confrontational btw, just that by your description you must be ready to move on.

I don't really understand what you're trying to ask, if indeed you're asking anything?

I'll leave when I'm bored with this forum and/or Aphex Twin. So don't hold your breath or plan any parties just yet.
