it's not meant to be funny, it's essentially bullying. one kid builds a sand castle, another kid comes along and kicks it over. generally, this sort of bullying behavior is them acting out due to sort of trauma in their home life... alky parents, uncle touched their bum, whatever

Bullying? I don't see it. It's visual pollution maybe but that's about it. A proper waste of space.

It's a bit like a forced meme (pronounced to rhyme with wee-wee). The origin of the DubTurbo reference, as we all know, is both sad and funnt, truly tragic. Phobiazero returns after a lengthy haitus promising a new dawn, asking for donations to enable the final push, has some exciting news.. Expectations were cautious but there was hope. Then that hope, faith, fragile belief restored just 24 hours earlier, was smashed and had shit rubbed in its face with the career endingly bad decision to promote DubTurbo and some horrificly worded sales pitch about "monetizing your beats".
If anything DubTurbo merits a more sophisticated use rather than just "DubTurbo, lol" - for me it represents bitter disappointment, disingenuity, contempt for your users, and pity for the site's clearly troubled owner. A figure, like Godot or Jesus, we can't really turn our backs on, even if there's no sign of them returning,

alright then... maybe he really meant to fix the site up, embarrassed himself with dubturbo, then crawled into a pit of depression because there's no sun in sweden?

There were screenshots of the new site, plus a beta site that was browse-able, but maybe it was all just a joke. In that case, xlt is funny as fuck, and like 10+ levels of Andy Kaufman madness.

I think, between you and me (and everyone else reading) that totalzero got the hump and it all went down hill from there.
He's had a lot of people i know give him money. That's the only thing that gets me. And he still whines. :D

no offence u guys but any1 who thinks this site is anythign but a adsence $ generator for phobia zero is daluding themselfs
phobia zero NEVER put any work into xltronic, its not new that nothing changed ever
why dont u try to make a list of stuff that ACTUALLY CHANGED since the site was aphex twin.nu
1. he made it so u could pay money to be a premium member or watever and get ur name in bold (still works i think?)
2. he made picture uploading (i dont think it works anymore?)
3. he made changed the size of avatars u could upload (but u cant upload at all anymore)
4. there was that random image thing (gone) 5. 260+ pixels xltronic v2 space was added sometime (still there)
6. he changed the way ranks work ie u used 2 be a wizard etc (still works)
7. various changes relating 2 the christmas bear and that ?% symbol
8. 1 christmas he made it snow 9. the usless discography thing (gone) 10. he got rid of the content that was on aphex twin.nu (then he brought it back for awhile and now its gone again)
11. there was a homepage that was updated sometimes (gone) 12. search was removed 13. thoughest posters/stats were removed 14. he made it so u can reply 2 posts? (i think this came after it turned in2 xltronic) (still working)
15. fav+ was broken 16. he made it so mods get there name in a special color (still working)
17. lazy link and character counter was added (still working)
18. some board hacks were fixed i think 19. the way the site urls work was changed 2 give xltronic better SEO
20. there were special topic tags n stuff added for talking about albumns in the discography and also nsfw threads (dunno if these still work im not a mod)
21. adsense ads added
also please add anything if i forgot it
but my point is xltronic was sad since it was started its no big deal n i dont even CARE about sites updating or ading features and stuff since alot of the time it makes it worse but STOP DALUDING URSELFS into think somehow if phobizero shows up and makes xltronic v2 or v3 its gonna be better

No one is "daluding" themselves, wavy! It's all tongue in cheek. Humour in the face of adversity is probably why this place still gathers a few posts. Or not.
Ok maybe technically not but you can't deny this place was buzzing and fun in the past. I think nearly every single one of my online friends with whom i became close i met here.

we haven't been here before. well, we have but to this extent?
messageboards in general died after facebook became common place. the outright bitterness of our so called 'equals' after the media driven orwellian western states has perhaps driven ppl back to a kind of 'retro' desperation with regards how people want the 'internet' to be.
BUT.. xlt is NOT the common place average. it's a bitter and twisted fucked up trolltastic bitchfest for the most freakish 30 something virgins that started it in the first place.
ppl who have a false claim to 'inventing' the internet are now sour fucked up individuals of whom have nothing better than to destroy. the nihilistic tendancies of some individuals are surely a sign of now what people WERE thinking at the time when moderation was en tact.
