The original poll-suggestion from theo himself was: when someone creates a thread about his/her new music, do you: - Ignore the thread completely - Listen to their work (open to hear all xlt artists) - Listen only if you've heard other music from them you like - Listen only if you've heard a persistant rumor from multiple individuals speculating the xlt member's identity that suggests he has a deal with Warp or Rephlex alright.. then a second part .. only if they did NOT choose the first option: I: - always provide constructive criticsm - never respond - respond only if I really enjoyed it/was impressed by their work - respond only if I thought it was laughable and amateurish.. just for the fun of crushing this amateur auteur's remote hopes of eventually landing a Skam or Tigerbeat6 deal. OR my general feeling towards xltronic artist's work is: I like to hear as much as possible, just to hear something new I feel some people just don't have it and should stay fans I think there is a lot of developing talent at this site and I always look forward to hearing more from certain people I generally ignore xltronic members' work |

mmm stupid me just created a thread spamming my music.. didnt notice this i didnt want to stirr the shit up! ... anyway I listen to their work, but only if im not doing something else atm I sometimes respond, only if the track has something.. special (can be negative too!) Theres a lot of developing talent... my 2 cents |

my favorite part of this board is the members music... lots of talent here... if someone posts a link to there music, i will definatly listen if i can stream it... for i am on dial up... but i will download quite often if i cant stream... i have a habit of not posting thoughts though... wether i liked the track or not... |

If something's really bad I won't comment on it. If it's got good elements I'll point out what they are. I'm more inclined to DL a track by someone if one of the following criteria are matched: I've talked to them about making music. They DLed and commented on my tracks. I've spoken to them at length on or off the board. I've heard their stuff in the past and liked it. Lots of other people are giving positive comments about the track. |

i just voted 3, I only check out the music when I feel for it... not too often (3) well i do try to check music often, but picking 1 seems like lying to me, its not that i dl every single track |

oh yeah...Note I for some reason have a credibility-issue with people coming in here without posting anything else but their music, and who haven't even bothered to fill out their profile with information regarding other than promotion for downloading. Never the less getting an avatar. |

I always ignore it. Its not that i dont want to listen, i just never have the time, and i can never enjoy music coming from a computer...plus i dont want to listen. 85% of the music ive heard by real artists is crap, regardless of genre, i dont need to hear amatures as well. sorry. |

i sometimes listen, respond when i feel like it or when nobody else does |

Yeah, they should invest the time to talk to us if they want our feedback, otherwise it is blatant spam. I could sign up to 100 MBs and post links to each of my new tracks on each one, whilst never participating in any of them, but that'd be rude as fuck... |

well when it's really good music.. |

then i still find it to be quite selfish |

exactly....unfortunatly we have way too many '1-posters' on this board IMO...if it was up too me I would have programmed the board so that it deleted profiles with under 100 points if they hadnt been active for two months...but again..that's my opinion |

I don't know, there are some long term people like that guy who comes and posts links to his films from time to time and the oldschool members who don't come here very often that I would hate to see removed by smething like that. On the other hand, it probably would help removing trolling accounts. |

He posted a couple of times and disappeared. :D And who can forget the ever elusive J-HOK...wonder when he will be back (to coincide with the release of Family Glue) |

well if it was a real old-school member, wouldnt you expect more than 100 posts? |

- Listen to their work (open to hear all xlt artists) But as I can't listen to them at work I have to try and remember to do this at home. I dont' have the best memory though. - always provide constructive criticsm If I can. If I can't then I'll just post that I liked it. I think there is a lot of developing talent at this site and I always look forward to hearing more from certain people The people who I think are good know who they are. I've said to them here on MSN that I like their stuff. Once again my memory comes into play so often I forget to comment as I wait so long for the download to finish. It's not wasy downloading a 9meg mp3 off of someone when your connection is dialup and slow to boot. |

I listen but I'd listen way more if there was some form of xltronic repository of board member tunes *hint hint* :) Nice avatar btw phobe. |

yes, it was a bit of a joke, like: i'm so good, i'm gods gift to music listeners |

I like listening to the music on the board, because it does three things. 1) Inspires ideas 2) If the song is really bad it makes me more confident in my abilities 3) If the song is excellent then it spurs me to get better. And I think it is a great platform for new and unsigned music. this is an electronica forum after all. I mutch prefer the musical threads than the countless comparisons and analysis of established artits such as Boc and Aphex Twin. Self promotion is quite healthy. After all, these people that make the music have put the time into their creations. And they are getting people listen or download for Free!! FREE OF CHARGE!! I don`t see that as spam. I see that as generosity. :DD |

where's those stats to be found, not in the community stats here on the left anyone? |

I try to listen to others music when I have the time. I will respond with constructive critism 90% of the time, no matter if the song is good or bad. There IS a lot of talented people here who do make music and I think they need to share it with others. Its always nice hearing new things. |

simple...browse users...sort by status...find the page where the last profile with 10 posts is and use a calculator to figure out how many there is between that page and the last page. |

I used to listen to it every time something was posted, but it took me too much time, and i can't listen at work, now i only d'l when people post about it being good music. I'm not able to give good critics, as i just don't know about all the techniques and stuff, so you'll probably only hear me saying 'nice' or 'not nice'... It's true when i've heard stuff from a person before, i'll d'l his new music first. |

i often check the pages but download only now and then, and sometimes give feedback. i used to trade.. 'listen to mine, i'll listen/comment yours'.. i'd listen to a LOT more, but i'm on dial-up 56k, and spending less time on here also.. |

i will usually download a track, especially if i haven't heard any music by that member before. if the music is consistently bad, or if i have many mp3's already, i might skip it. threads move through pretty quickly, and i know i don't see all of them. i still don't have music by all the music makers here, and i've got a lot of mp3's (as well as all the ae mixes). most of the music produced by people here sounds amateurish, which is what you would expect. beyond that, some is good, and some is not so good. i don't necessarily listen to hear great music, but rather to provide an audience and critical commentary as part of the community. i listen to a lot of electronic music, i make electronic music, so i enjoy sharing and hearing what others are doing. i will usually comment only on what i like about a track, or offer suggestions for improvement. if something is not my style, i'll say so or just not comment. |

i listen to as much as i can and i try to give honest, objective criticizm to everything i listen too. i feel like if i listen and comment, these people might do the same for me. if they don't i get a little irritated but, eh... no biggie. i make a special effort to hear tracks from people who have given me constructive criticizm in the past. ecnadniarb, kochlear, MC_303_beatz, ambsace and Junktion come to mind as people who's opinion i respect and who i always make an effort to listen to their stuff. There are more, but i can't recall them just now. you know who you are anyway. |

i really try to download every track i find on this mb. but the threads move so fast an i can really only visit it in 10 minute intervals throughout the day....so i miss alot of threads. as for commenting, i try to comment on every thread i download from, even if i don't like the track or it's genre isn't appealing to me, just so they know one more person is listening to their music. it's a good feeling. i try to download everyone's tracks. i love ambsace, evolume, qrter, sanguine, and weatheredstoner's music (that's what i can think of off the top of my head) but i've heard excellent tracks by other artists as well. |
