So, I see my own lack of activity in here, since the overflow of other social-sites has a grab on my balls.
And the online users in here (6 right now - me inclusive), might be a status of the inevitable death of xltronic - not that I want xltronic to die, but it kinda seems obvious - i mean, the donations doesn't really cut it right now.
My question is - how could we keep xltronic alive, through other sites? Could we manage to collect all oldschool xltronic users on one social site, for xltronic discussions and memorabilia? Would that be tasteful, if so?
Anyway - I miss the old days in here, but it just isn't so anymore. I used to come in here for updates on the latest in Xltronic-music - before that, in the aphextwin.nu days, it was with one single artist, as the ground-stone for all following discussions, and interests. Now, it seems the updates are few, and the on-topic discussion limited.
I salute the whole xltronic-team, for keeping on so many years, and for starting a thing, that in some xltronic users was (or still is) a big part of our lives.

nice song..
just visit xlt more often and you'll see this place is still alive..I do miss some off the old peeps too but some are still here and some visit this place now and then. Also there are still some good on topic discussions but you are right about the updates: these are less than back in the old days.

i wondering what kind of social-sites would grab your balls, because, well... i'd like my balls to be grabbed as well from time to time.
/disclaimer: this is not some plot to discover new social-sites. I just want my BALLS to be grabbed by total strangers from time to time. for free!

Facebook is the obvious answer, it's also the wrong answer. Yahoo groups could be done, but isn't ideal either.
Best bet is to buy some webspace and have a simple message board, like what we have now.
I think some sort of user moderation could work, possibly by having assignable tags. To a certain extent people do this anyway with the self imposed spam flags. Having some sort of "tag cloud" would be useful... oh and a search function!
The main problem is that there's not much interesting stuff happening in the music scene compared to a few years ago.
Also a decade ago we were all getting decent home internet connections and discovering lots of new music. Obviously this rate of discovery will run out quickly so suddenly threads about the same old tracks are boring.
EVERYONE has Hangable Auto Bulb now whereas 10 years ago most people said hangable auto what? And .nu/zilty gave the answer.
If you're an old-school member, then why not stick around and try to improve the place? I think all it will take is to get a few of the old people back and there will be bass, red bull, ltj bukem and the crowd will give thansk.

overflow of other social-sites has a grab on my balls
"The main problem is that there's not much interesting stuff
happening in the music scene compared to a few years ago."
I don't think there's a problem with music really. It's just that people/generations of listeners come and go (!) Most probably old xlters spend more time in real life, probably now have families, more babies or more kittens (!) and/or got bored with internet social sites grabbing their balls. And the next wave of (electronic) music listeners is choosing to be grabbed by their balls by facebook, NOT xltronic.

There is plenty interesting happening in the music scene, however IDM as it was when this site was in heavy use has kind of bored everyone to tears. The only common denominator amongst users here is trolling.

peoples listening and discovering days end in a way, but also their habits. i dont know if its the same with many of
you or lost xlt´ers. but it may be easier to find out a lot about genres, similar artists etc by now without xlt. also i myself have stopped listening to 6 new albums a day (and deleting at least half of them again) and dwell more amounts of many favourite artists back-catalogues, and not starting new threads on old albums.
on the other hand i never used the forum that much to find new music. i mainly wanted to be in touch for new releases of favourite artists and their shows/parties.
anyhow what i have found here and still have (mainly in slsk-chat) is a whole bunch of friends.
also i love to use this board to let me recommend stuff.
to end this mega-post, i agree on this site being what we make of it. we dont need another one but if the site was killed somehow id say just open a xlt-room on soulseek to not lose each other.
may the beat be with you, always

oh and a search function and tags might really help to livley up some music discussion. as it is now talking about a recently released album is even hard, if you havent bookmarked the thread also opening new threads for older releases, i dunno,
what do you lot think about that?

- same here, more or less. in my case it's more like looking for interesting stuff in the past than checking for new releases, these days especially. there's a few really fresh and interesting releases coming each year compared to tons of good music I still have no clue about and most probably will never have the time to check them all...which is a bit sad but blah blah blah

Whatever happens to this forum, a soulseek room is a great idea. I just created the room "Xltronic", just join and don't forget to toggle autojoin.
