phobia, are you still as interested in this type of music as before? |
||||||||

suggestions: making bigger, more intrusive ads, but making the board ad free for those who donate (i forget if this was one of the features already) bringing in more traffic with featured "ask me anything" threads from established producers - i know at least a few of the pros post/used to post here, and the producer q&a threads i've seen on dubstepforums and glitchhopforums are the only reason i visit those sites at all. plus you could advertise them thru the newsletter for max exposure. purchased ad space would be great, and not just for artists. on somethingawful they have the same deal, and paying for obnoxious ads blasting particular users has become really lucrative for the site. considering all the trolls here, i'm sure go off like gangbusters here! really, how easy would it be to get listen2metalk to pay for a banner ad displaying "ceri jc sucks!" |

Oh man. I want to buy a "Freqy: NWO Reptoid" banner now. |

omg seriously you guys, watch the video for dubturbo, it's hilarious. they actually advertise not being able to export to mp3 as a feature! |

Why, why not free amazon ec2 server? @Phobs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ec2's pricing is confusing; it's probably a bad fit for this, but it's still an option. a dedicated, colocated server just seems overkill for this crate. i guess the question is, how much bandwidth does this site need? if it's less than a terabyte or two a month, you're just pissing lots of money down the toilet doing anything more than a virtual host. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
free? only the lowest speced ec2 setup is for free.... and it won't cut it. my plans for xltronic demands a dedicated server. also, the actual server, is already built, so I just need colocation. an ec2 with 25% of the performance from my machine costs 3 times more. will use a cdn for heavily downloaded media. |

coloc = $100/mo + $parts when it breaks in a year linode = $20/mo |

p.s. whatever, i really don't care as long as it works. it's an option if you're concerned about cashflow. |

Man-- why the hell is xlt so damn cyberpunk? Experimental mailing software, dedicated servers being built in closets, the whole website being handcoded in wordpad and pretzels, a random dot here, dead image links there... It's like this is Road Warrior, and we just happen to be on the cutting edge of hacked technology, running the current xlt off a modified lawnmower+refrigerator setup. xlt makes it feel like I'm living . p.s. the vid is ATR- Sick To Death, which is forever badass. |

I'll donate a few bucks to fix the site as it is: - reactivate avatar change functionality - give image posting privileges to subscribing members - implement an automatic linking dialog box as in modern forums This site should stay a message board imho withouth popping videos spammed everywhere, there's plenty of other sites like that, in its simplicity this site reads both on my phone and desktop PC better than any tapatalk based forum, it's fast and it should stay that way my 2 cents also lol @dubturbo |

Either leave it as is or shut it down. It's too late now. This place has a reputation for being overrun with assholes who don't welcome new users. You have to be insane to stick around. Btw, Phobia, I received mail from you and came to post here but had forgotten my password- but your password recovery doesn't work. It never sent me a password. Took 4 days to get a confirmation email for this new account. I've been on and off this board since 2001. Mainly, the users are too rude for anyone to take it seriously because no moderates here to discourage abuse. It is what it is. It's a hellhole and should stay that way. That being said, I donated. Best of luck. |

for nostalgia's sake, I would like the basic style to stay the same |

oh ok thanks. you've obviously looked into this more than me :P |
||||||||

|

i'm sure the code is a rat's nest, and that's why it's tempting to just chuck things and start anew. but i'm with krim and json, i'd really prefer xlt to stay as-is, plus bugfixes. i'm concerned the reboot will get stuck halfway, or the "new" server made from old VCR parts breaks in the middle of the night, and p.zero won't get his volvo over to the data center for two weeks, or -- shocker! -- only ten people a year donate $3.03 and the kitty drains in three months from powering some bloated CMS behemoth with "live chat" and "blogs" that no one actually wants |

THIS REBOOT WILL BE THE GREATEST EVER IT WILL OFFER ALL SORTS OF "PREMIUM" FEATURES like wat THEY ARE PREMIUM OK JUST SHUT UP AND DONATE |

i don't think anyone is looking for this site to be any more than it is, and any attempt to do so would be pitifully misguided and kind of pathetic. xlt only still exists because it's a long-standing community of assholes who somehow simultaneously love and hate each other. the site design and features has about 0% to do with that fact, and trying to update the site to be more of a "hub" likely just alienate old users and not really be anything unique enough to bring in new blood. XLT Y U TRY 2 B WEB 2.0? |

i sorta agree |

Some very good and touching points. I agree. |

Please will someone think of the children? Make a version for kids and a version for over 16's or 18s. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, thanks for your suggestion, Freqy Saville, I don't think we want to encourage kids. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see no reason to encourage kids; they're bad enough already. expensive and boring before they learn to talk, expensive and annoying after. in fact, i'd like to propose an XLT captcha: if you can't ID the various anatomical parts of a vagina, your account signup is rejected |

What this place needs is an animated flash mascot, how about dubby the dubturbo dubturtle. He could make all like turtle sounds and shit. |

if we donate another $200 we can probably buy the rights to hamsterdance |

i grew up with software before hardware. i remember finding FL 2.0's step sequencer irritating -- i wanted a piano roll, with the option to disable snap. so i just used FL to make shitty loops for a few months before abandoning it entirely. i'm gathering that was a bit of sad timing, given what i've heard about the slicer. |

Can we have a favicon please? I don't visit xltronic as much because it's missing one so I don't notice the bookmark. |

i really like . it's funny, it uses a maelstrom preset from reason, but the it drops into drum breaks woven like chain mael |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
should this place be viewable to under 18s? 16s? i don't think so!! But xltronic is found by a google search so is accessible to all ages. So either make it inaccessible to youngsters or partition it. |

What are my biggest stumpling blocks i have to make beats like a pro: The cognitive ones (“I can’t do this, i don't understand this, it is boring and complicated”) The emotional ones (boredom, tiredness, and resentment towards spending long hours in front of the computer and learning new stuff) The behavioral ones (not knowing much about music theory, can't play an instrument, don't know much about music production, lack of talent, easily distracted) |

So what you're saying is you need DUBturbo |
