New features in V5
 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-19 10:31 [#00034068]



First of all: Our messageboard differs a lot from existing
(commercial/non-commercial) forums. No need to compare them.
We code and invent everything from scratch. We also avoid
stuff that SLOWS down a messageboard.

The point-system is just for fun and we won't have any
status stuff like "Newbie", "God" etc etc... that's pretty
stupid. ;-)

I don't think Tune needs to look at the YABB-source. In
fact, the YABB-developers should look at OUR source to find
out how to create decent, fast code. Maybe you haven't get
it yet, but Tune is a real ace and work with things like
that professionally. (They have recruited him from Hungary
to Canada). He is a rock! :-)

More info to come...

Canadian or Cunt-alien?
Australian or Arse-alien?
English or English?

It took me three hours to come up with that joke, so you
better laugh, damn fool.


 

Joyrex from joyrex.com, of course! on 2001-09-19 16:23 [#00034204]



I understand you're proud of your board, and you should be -
but I think you'll find the more features you add, you will
take a hit in performance versus a pure text messageboard.
Put graphics into the mix and you WILL have some slowdown
due to increased bandwidth. Nothing wrong with that, as long
as it doesn't detract from the browsing experience. I was
just suggesting looking at the code; most of the good
programmers I know don't reinvent the wheel everytime, they
use and reuse bits of code to save time and if somebody can
do it better, why not use superior code? Just common sense,
I reckon.

Of course, the proof is always in the pudding, so when the
new MB comes out, we'll see how it goes - I'm sure it will
go well.

Hey, two webmaster at the same time, cool!!!

I believe in phobiazero and his new creation aphextwin.v5
but I enjoy joyrex.com, too!!! Joyrex is a good webmaster
and he has a nice site with a funny MB.
I think it's interesting an exchange of opinions between
phobiazero and joyrex, the greatest aphex twin webmasters.

I have only one curiosity... Sometime I see joyrex on
aphextwin.nu but I never found phobiazero on joyrex.com...

"Richar D. James bless his webmasters"

Cheers,

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-19 17:39 [#00034233]



Sure I appreciate you comments and suggestions, James. My
point is however that there are several ways of coding the
same stuff and I'm pretty sure we could expect a very fast
messageboard even with additional features, optimized
pictures and so on.

Anyway, PHP/SQL is much faster CGI/flat database - so it's
no point checking out the YABB Perl-code.

I def. agree with you about creating/maintaing the site(s)
takes too much time. I have recently bought a house and
we're currently moving in, so... that's my priority right
now. :-)



 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-19 17:40 [#00034234]



Woofer: I am a regular at joyrex.com. :-) It's a
good site!


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-09-19 18:02 [#00034237]



I'm also worried that v5 will overcomplicate the message
board. I think the login/password is a good idea, but do we
really need smiley faces for people to select and shit like
that? Keep it simple. This message board rules the way it
is, except for the clones and the stupid posts.

I don't really think there should be points that you can
trade in for anything, its not fucking Chuck E. Cheese's
after all...You should get a little tally next to your name.
Or little aphex symbols for new member senior member etc.
You can make reflex 'super duper been here forever
memborioso extrodinaire' and everyone will be happy.


 

Boris The Dog on 2001-09-19 18:08 [#00034238]



That alreadygone site is your enemy.


 

Boris The Dog on 2001-09-19 18:09 [#00034240]



The points system is my enemy.


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-19 18:51 [#00034249]



We'll keep it as simple as possible! We like it
minimalistic...


 

Bobby McGee on 2001-09-19 19:44 [#00034270]



I want it to be bunbury. I will slap you to death. Ah.


 

thanksomuch from over thar on 2001-09-19 19:47 [#00034271]



lord, i am excited! but, X is right, let's not get ahead of
ourselves... let's not get the message board too "busy"....
but i like all that about pics, and location and homepage...


 

Centurix from Melbourne on 2001-09-20 04:04 [#00034491]



It'll be interesting to see v5.


 

Joyrex from joyrex.com of course! on 2001-09-20 04:35 [#00034494]



True - SQL is faster than flatfile - YaBB has a SQL verison
coming out (hopefully) soon, and I will go with that when it
is released.

Congrats on the home Phobia, I just bought my first home in
April, and let me tell you, the first year is tough! But
after that, it gets much easier (I hope).

You're lucky to have a talented programmer like Tune helping
out out Phobia... I too have people I could not manage
without.

Phobia even has his own custom title on my MB...so the
rumours of me not liking him are totatlly not true.


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-09-20 05:36 [#00034498]



Did you guys hear that Joyrex hates phobiazero because they
are in constant competition to make the best aphex twin
website?

TELL EVERYONE!!!


 

\/\/ooƒer_Attack² from Milan on 2001-09-20 07:23 [#00034522]



Phobiazero: Which is your nick on joyrex.com mb? Please,
tell me, I am curious to know...

\/\/Æ’


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-20 09:38 [#00034563]



Thanks Joyrex... I've been living in my flat now for five
years and believe it or not - I prefer living outside town.
This will allow me to pump up the volume a bit when playing
Ae/Vletrmx21/Basscadet. :-)


 

CUN8eR LASiT from mm on 2001-09-20 09:53 [#00034574]



sorry for butting in but my personaly fav is the
beaumonthannanttwomx


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-09-20 12:31 [#00034609]



Reflex: Indeed.


 

Anti-Asian Committee on 2001-10-17 00:35 [#00042324]



You run the paperrun, do you? So, Phobiazero, you are a
liar.


 

od from perth on 2001-10-17 04:30 [#00042480]



yair im intrigued (spelling?) about this v5... sounds
good.... i agree thoguh.. the amount of posts giving oyu
points is a little didgy...ppl may just do multiple posts or
*shock horror* get points for repeating things..spamming or
whatever..the same message over n over....points based on
post content would be cool, but near impossible to judge
etc, even manually...

oh one more thing

shut up geonime

(ehehhe)


 

David The Dog Fucker on 2001-10-17 20:59 [#00042966]



I don't think there needs to be lyrics from each track in
V5, that would just be like "I want your soul, I will eat
your soul." it'd be alittle stupid.


 

REPHLEX~ology on 2001-10-17 21:39 [#00042986]



Like the ideas for v5. One thing though, with this buy and
sell thing, do you think people will use it?



 

Anus Invader on 2001-10-17 23:35 [#00043055]



It wouldn't be reliable, that idea sucks catpenis too.
