New features in V5
 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 10:41 [#00033723]



Some of the new stuff in aphextwin v5:

NEW LAYOUT
You will recognise patterns from V4, but a
new colorscheme is introduced. Even better
navigation. A minimalistic, clean layout is
still very important for us. More to come...

NEW MEMBERSYSTEM
A general login system which allows you to:
- post messages in the MB
- talk in the chatroom
- store your site preferences
- write reviews
- personal info:
name/gender/age/location/contact/homepage/picture and more
- browsing other members using filters
- collect points by interacting with the site
- one message = 1p, poll vote = 5p, contribute art/remixes
= 15p etc
- only one memberprofile per IP
- varninglevels: reaching 100% gives you red card ;-)
- view logged in members
- more to come...

NEW DISCOGRAPHY
- lyrics from each track
- rate individual tracks
- write reviews on tracks/albums/singles/remixes
- high quality album covers
- top charts
- live shows in real audio format
- time lines
- more to come...

NEW FEATURES
- contests on a regular basis
- trade/buy/sell center (this one is interesting)
- a new chatroom
- more to come...

NEW CREW MEMBERS
- we'll recruit people for several tasks/areas
- more to come...

Please discuss and give us suggestions...

When?


 

Eispizza from earth on 2001-09-18 10:52 [#00033725]



>- only one memberprofile per IP
not such good.


 

*mCp* from Frankfurt/Germany on 2001-09-18 10:56 [#00033727]



This is going to be great...
Are you counting points from scratch or do you also count
existing contibutions? (remixes/artwork)


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 11:03 [#00033731]



Sounds good. Don't like the one membership per IP address
thing though - both me and my brother are big fans of Aphex
Twin and like to visit this messageboard under seperate
names. Could you allow people in families to register more
than one username?


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 11:06 [#00033733]



Shut up reflex.


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 11:09 [#00033735]



Phobiazero, may I suggest you put in an option to cancel one
account and register a new one? It will mean people would
still only be able to use one account, but they wouldn't be
forever stuck with their original option. Hmm?


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 11:12 [#00033737]



If people had to supply a password to use a certain username
I don't see how anyone could clone anyone else.


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 11:14 [#00033740]



It doesn't really matter, anyway. My IP address keeps
changing, so I could keep registering new names (not that I
want to cause any trouble).


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 11:18 [#00033742]



Shut up reflex.


 

fluffy bunny from mm on 2001-09-18 11:19 [#00033744]



sounds wonderful


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 11:20 [#00033745]



Shut up reflex.


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 11:58 [#00033754]



Please, create a new thread for annoying comments.

We know how to solve the IP-problem. As you can understand,
I can't give you details of how it will work. It'll prevent
a user from switching identities in a specific period of
time.

No worries, people.


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 11:59 [#00033756]



*mCp*: Existing contributions should be credited.


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 12:00 [#00033757]



Matt, can I be one of the guys who sorts things out? I'd be
good at that kind of thing and I can be very responsible
WHEN I WANT TO BE. Plus I have quite a lot of time on my
hands.


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 12:04 [#00033759]



Definition of "imposter":
Someone who are using an existing alias. Not possible in
V5.

Please understand that the new membersystem is not for MB
purposes only, but a general community system and you'll
earn points whenever you interact with the site.


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 12:17 [#00033767]



The art/remixes contibutions are pretty tight integrated
with the membersystem so there will be a list of contributed
items.



 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 12:26 [#00033769]



What will we be able to "buy" with the points we build up?


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 12:28 [#00033770]



Good question, Geonime! Any suggestions? (I'm having a few
suggestions as well but I'm more interested in your
opinions).


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 12:31 [#00033771]



There could be a leaderboard of the members who contribute
the most.


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 12:34 [#00033772]



Yes, of course, we'll have some sort of top chart, but that
doesn't really answer your question, right?


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 12:35 [#00033773]



Well I can't really think of anything. Maybe people who
contribute most could have access to "special" secret areas
on the site.


 

*mCp* from Frankfurt/Germany on 2001-09-18 12:48 [#00033776]



I think you shouldn't do something as an area for the
top-mb-submissions guys.

It'll only create a kind of challenge between anyone...

People will start to write crap...


 

Beards of Camera from 89999 on 2001-09-18 12:52 [#00033777]



I don't think top posters should have access to 'secret'
areas of the site. It's hardly very welcoming for new kids
is it? It would give the site an elitist feel, which is what
fucks up so many sites.


 

*mCp* from Frankfurt/Germany on 2001-09-18 12:55 [#00033778]



BOC: Yes, that's what I was also thinking of, but couldn't
express in words...


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 12:56 [#00033779]



No secret sections will reside on the site.


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-09-18 12:56 [#00033780]



Everyone is welcome.


 

phiz from Amsterdam on 2001-09-18 12:59 [#00033781]



give Geonime + Rephlex a special little job where they have
to work together, make decisions between them and meet on a
regular basis to sort things out.


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 13:01 [#00033782]



Shut up phiz.


 

phiz from Amsterdam on 2001-09-18 13:06 [#00033784]



i haven't said a word


 

Geonime on 2001-09-18 13:07 [#00033785]



Shut up phiz.


 

*mCp* from Frankfurt/Germany on 2001-09-18 15:22 [#00033808]



phob:

Do you have any date in mind when the changes will be made?
(maybe you said that before but i didn't get the info
yet...)


 

helios from zurich-ch on 2001-09-18 15:34 [#00033809]



sounds nice, especially the guestbook. this site is going to
become the best


 

Quadrapelegicrobotikev from ardmore on 2001-09-18 16:08 [#00033815]



sweet


 

\/\/ooƒer_Attack² from Milan on 2001-09-18 16:38 [#00033816]



geonime you're funny... why do you always say "... shut up"
"shut up" "shut up"... eh, eh, eh... I am laughing!

Okay, okay, I undertood... "Woofer shut up!" *lol*

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ooÆ’ER!!!



 

\/\/ooƒer_Attack² from Milan on 2001-09-18 16:40 [#00033817]



Phobiazero: Your aphextwin.nu V5 seem very interesting! I
hope you release it, soon. Have a good work!

Sylvester Stallone on 2001-09-18 18:38 [#00033827]



Frunk loovs ta art yargart.


 

Joyrex from joyrex.com, of course! on 2001-09-18 18:52 [#00033836]



I think the site should have something to do with Aphex
Twin

:O]

Just kidding, really, this all sounds great - can't wait to
see it!


 

Sylvester Stallone on 2001-09-18 19:00 [#00033840]

Quoth from Berlin on 2001-09-18 19:34 [#00033844]



I like the fact that one can view Real Player media files is
AWESOME! I've wanted to watch the man live... this is a good
feature to add.


 

Harold Bishop on 2001-09-18 20:19 [#00033859]



What's the point of a star system? I have one on my stupid
forum and it sucks, I can't get it off, it only takes
something like 200 posts to reach the max 5 stars. Whats the
point of it? It should probably just have one of those
stupid "newbie," "starting member," "regular." But there's
really no point. And I seriously doubt they'd add up all
your postsa like you requested before.


 

Lt. Gary Coleman on 2001-09-18 21:54 [#00033870]



On my board, the default setting is:

#50 Posts to become "Junior Member"
#100 Posts to become "Full Member"
#250 Posts to become "Senior Member"
#500 Posts to become "God Member"

And it doesn't really take long to become a "God Member,"
but it can be changed, customised. They're sort of good to,
sort of see, like between a user that's just arrived and one
that's been here for awhile.


 

Lt. Gary Coleman on 2001-09-18 21:57 [#00033871]



And, for whatever reason, you could also show how many
people have read/viewed each topic or post, or something.


 

evolume from seattle wa usa on 2001-09-18 22:25 [#00033880]



how will you credit existing submissions?
via e-mail or something? just wondering, cuz i don't want
someone pretending to be me and taking credit for my
remixes.

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-09-18 23:08 [#00033884]



sounding fantastic but I have one question about the
member/IP quota ratio thing...how do you resolve one member
with multiple IP's like myself...I log in from both
school/work and home..what's gonna happen to me?


 

Super Magnetic Neo from Australia on 2001-09-18 23:10 [#00033885]



I can't wait! V5 sounds so cool!

Really looking forward to the buy/trade/sell section.


 

|REFLEX| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-09-19 00:00 [#00033899]



i think on that system colman id be up around.... 10'000
posts.. ha maybe more. SO what.. GOD COMPLEX LEVEL!


 

Joyrex from joyrex.com of course! on 2001-09-19 04:07 [#00033978]



It's funny, but most of the posts here with suggestions
sound like things YaBB already has (it's the board I use).
Perhaps Tunefish should look at the source code and spruce
it up a bit or add custom stuff to it (there's an extensive
mod community for YaBB with hundreds of add-ons (mods)
available.


 

Moosical on 2001-09-19 04:23 [#00033983]

Corey Feldman on 2001-09-19 04:33 [#00033992]



Joyrex, your board is just one of those shit xsorbit
"forums." I doubt V5 will be that much of a step down.
