Don't panic already. I'm just here to inform you that the site will be released in portions, starting on Aug 7th. The most essential part, the messageboard, will be released along with a mini-variant of the discography. Other sections will be added as soon as they are ready. Please, have patience with us. This is a HUGE project and it will stay online "forever" - this is just the beginning. Besides, it's summer... and damn hot. Feel free to post any questions regarding this in the space provided below. |

coolness! will there be several mb's? as in autechre boards, afx boards etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Please do a better job putting it in piece by piece than joyrex did. Make it very clear what's available and what's not. I can't wait to see it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
that's why we release it in portions, maybe a better word is "modules", so you could easily see what's done. we shall also provide you with a fuzzy timetable so you'll know when the diff. sections are to be launched. |
||||||||
|

Ah damn, I have to say I'm disapointed... but not really, because it IS quite a project and it IS summer, so I understand. But I won't hide my disapointment. ;-) Shades of the watmm.com problem, though hopefully not that bad. It'll all be worth the wait anyway, no hurry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, there will be one single messageboard. i dont want to lose the unique community feeling we have here - and i have a strong feeling it will be splitted if we use diff. boards. other artists are discussed in here already - so there will not be such a big difference. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sure you would have been even more disappointed if we didn't told you lot about it in advance? i repeat, this is really a HUGE project, and it will affect your lifes even more then Astrobotnia did. |
||||||||

Great! That's all I wanted to hear. Don't divide this board up, it's a pain in the ass to check out multiple sections. Even though another section is just a click or two away... people are DAMN lazy, and you can they wouldn't bother sometimes. No way will I ever bother checking the ''General'' and ''Music Making'' sections at WATMM. Pain in the ol' ass... this is perfect, nice job. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ooooh, that's bold. ;-) Big expectations NOW... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
More than Astrobotnia?!?! =) All I ask is an improvement on the search feature! PLEASE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh no! astrobotnia did not, i repeat, NOT, affect my life!! i'm sure xltronic will, though ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even mine? Hehehehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Single messageboard=v.good idea.I would like to see more MB member photos(I'm posing for mine as i speak/type..!) on Xltronic. I know UR sweating buckets 4 us Phobia...i've done basic web pages,and that was a pain!! Best of luck...};> |
||||||||

What do you want to improve on the search? Right now the only possible upgrade is to introduce AND/OR connections between the words you are looking up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That would pretty much be it. (ignore the dashes) --"Aphex Twin"-- should results only in instances of both words together. --Aphex Twin-- should give you results in which both words are said in a thread, but not necessarily together --"Lucid Dream" Aphex-- should give you results of thread(s) with the phrase "Lucid Dream" that also contain the word Aphex and so on...the OR function isn't so important. Also, if there was a little advanced search menu, There should be checkboxes such as "Topic" "Thread" "Member" and you could check Topic if you only wanted results from a title, thread if you only wanted message text, Member if you wanted to search by poster, and any combination of the three (the "Member" is less important but would be a nice feature, the searches might yield too many results for wizard and up members) Don't mean to make demands of any kind, I'm just telling you what would make the best and easiest search engine, the google of XLTRONIC |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
So...the days of AphexTwin.nu are numbred.....heh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we'll have a sophisticated search page in xltronic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This sounds great!!!!! as long as it doesnt end up looking like watmm... because there BBS is reeeeeaaaaaallllllllly sloooooooooooowwwww. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As long as there are not dead links everywhere, I will be happy :) I'm sure the mb will be great as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sine707 knows what i'm talking about when i say this: fix the search function so that it can search words less than 4 letters long. for example, "sex change" (in quotes) will get you every thread ever and i know we're not that dirty. good luck with xltronic phobiazero and company |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no dead links :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i decided to post this here instead of the long winded posts thread: i'm constantly getting my posts chopped off.. maybe that should be fixed in xltronic. not unlimited space, but maybe double what's allowed now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tits: some of the crew are currently discussing in a chatroom - and i refer to tunemx when i say this: searching for a three letter word will kill the database. imagine the number of words... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to see this feature as well... "search for this exact phrase" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hope it's good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just eliminate/ignore words like and, or, the, an, that, this (etc.) like search engines such as google and yahoo do. you can do that right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a performance issue and it's not technically possible to search for words <4 chars - it's up to our ISP to upgrade a module - even then the performance thingy remains. |

Phob: Good luck with the launch... I think it goes without saying how monumental a project a site like this is especially once you get into the 'meat' of things...and look, you had tons of people to help out too! It's just overwhelming sometimes when you take all of one artist in the detail you cover them, and multiply it by 4 or 6 or more... And of course the unforseen issues are always a pain...especially if they cause setbacks. I'm sure Xltronic will make all the .nu'ers happy as clams! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still, it wouldve been nice if you and phobes had joined forces... now it looks like 2 camps |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks, joyrex. i'm sure watmm will be a great resource as well once all your artists are covered. cheers! |

*whistles* |

Look at it this way: variety is the spice of life - Phob and his gang will probably cover artists I'm not going to, and his method of covering them will most likely be vastly different than mine - it will be like .nu and joyrex was - different ways of displaying information, and in the new site's cases, different information in some cases. Things are just now starting to come together now with watmm... after that we can go forward and start doing the things we have planned (like adding another artist to the roster, and adding more content that serves the electronic music fan. |

some problems..... my computer crasched and my internet connection at home has been down for two weeks now... it has def. affected the work with xltronic... :-/ time will tell. |

I don't know if this has been discussed before - but do we have to register again? I know TuneMX was copying the avatars so I assumed not. Just wondering. |

yay xltronic!!!!!! |

You can stay in there on your own if you want niggals ;o) |

no, you don't need to re-register. |

thanks phob! it sounds good..... and like a LOT of work will the url "aphextwin.nu" lead people to "xltronic.com"? also, will all the cool music samples u have now at xltronic.com and also the ones at aphextwin.nu still be available when the site is operational? not only the one from artists teh site covers, but also the streaming compilation... |

You should have autosuscribing threads. IE: If you start a thread or post in one, that thread is marked somewhere in your personal options/folder. You can then go straight to that folder and see if anyone has replied to those threads since you did. |

Don't do that sine707,i wont be able to sleep tonight! };> |

Phobia: Damn, that's terrible - I feel for you man (goes and starts backup software). I hope you had backups/archives available to restore things. See, that's what you PC does when you neglect it and go on vacation - it got revenge like a jealous lover for neglecting it! :) I'm sure all will work itself out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joyrex: everything is there - no loss of data - but the problem is: I can't use my computer... and since I have vacation I'm not really in mood to sit here at work, more than getting here to inform you about this. I ordered a new computer today, and that will really help out as soon as I get it. A new computer for Phobiazero is good for xltronic. :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Indeed :) It did wonders for me an watmm :) |
||||||||
|
|

Will it be IDM only? It would seem fitting to carry info on Detroit techno, minimal, jungle (+dnb), techno, and downtempo stuff . . . .amg |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amg the whole afx mb is all kinds of crap so I think you can expect all that stuff too how many threads on dnb and abstract have we started? it's a lot even rock stuff - weezer, radiohead I don't expect any changes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
will there be auto hot linking? ie, we wont have to type the HTML tag (automatically be hotlinked? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, and will there be a spot for MSN instant messangers in the profiles? AIM and ICQ users got one, but us MSN users get no love!help some brothas out! |
