1 - ok, search feature doesnt work cos it was suspicious that it could be a problem for the board... but is this confirmed? will we have search feature back soon? (soon = some days) 2 - the balack threads, those where oyu can discuss a release of the discography. its been like half a year since no new discussion thread can be started, why is this? I have asked some other time, but I dont remember an answer see that since we cannot start new discussion thrreads we rarely see one in the top page... I miss discussing some releases, like lfo frequencies for example |

I agree |

the biggest loss is the search function. also, it would be nice to have a search function for the discography |
||||||||
|

|
|
oh! good one! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I really would love to know if we will have these features soon... at least the search function, cos I really feel blind without it but this is not a complaint, its just wanting to now, so that I know how the things go with this place that I consider like a home |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
no, the biggest loss is some content. the faq, the other stuff. actually it was so long ago i can hardly remmber what was on here. would it have hurt to leave it up? |

Your negative attitude has been noted. |

reviews interviews custom artowrks we have it now in the gallery discography is incomplete, but the aphex part is more than complete, more at least than the one at .nu so not really much content is missing compared to the .nu era... but yes compared to what had been announced |

V5 issues and information I guess you're all curious about the V5 progress and all: The new MB with the integrated member system is now ready and it's amazing to use (we prefer minimalistic/custom-made/speed issues instead of slow/3rdparty packages). We need to BETA-test it a lot tho - some of YOU will be invited to try it out before the actual release. Please, don't ask us to pick YOU, we have already choosen a few, trusted regulars on the board and they will receive instructions within a few days. NEW CREW-MEMBERS Yes, we have recruited some people who'll help us out in V5. The new discography-section will grow a lot and become an essential part of the site. It'll be integrated with the MEMBER-database in various ways and this will bring up some new cool features (not mentioned here). Christopher Miller (well-known rdj discography guru) has joined us and will contribute and manage the new discography. Who could possibly be better for this task? Andreas Schepers (well-known ex-aphextwin webmaster -> andreas.de/aphextwin) is a new moderator on the MB and will contribute with news/interviews/reviews in V5. Cool as hell. DJ Fony is also a new moderator and will have similiar tasks as Andreas. A great new crew-member! Phobiazero (that's me), Tune and Gonzola (aka Pinkcalx) are still here to serve you with your AFX-needs. V5 would not have been possible without Tune (praise him). Oh yes, we need some Australian/Asian moderators as well. Send me a message if you're interested. We won't tell you much more about V5 improvements for now (we don't want concurrent sites to steal ideas before we actually launch them ourselves). Stay tuned for more info. |

nice where did you get that from? I remember having read it the day it came out |
||||||||
|
|

That's pretty fucking slow right there. Still it's quicker than, well you know.... |

From the link I posted before. love this Nacho! |

search function is what i miss the most!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehhehehehe you know me well, I love that I can spend hours looking at all the damn pages... some info is still there, its true that it oculd have been kept in some way... I miss aphextwin.nu eventhough I only knew it for half a year |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought you missed your dog the most? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D! Oh yeah, if a page appears blank try and highlight it. The text was black so if the background image is missing then the text won't show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not anymore..no.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i miss the most on both xltronic and watmm is some actual electronic music resource, such as the many squarepusher and aphex interviews. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just realised. WATMM actually had a load of content up a while ago. Interviews transcribed and videos and stuff. Where the hell has all that gone? I won't bemoan XLT losing the search funciton now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
watmm had to re-start due to a general crash this january all content was lost, I think, or at least it has to be re-structured. even all messageboard posts were lost first in january and then in june so the earliest you can search is june 2004 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds like a reasonable excuse to me! |
||||||||

From the link I posted. The whole site is practically archived there. love this Nacho! |

i would like more content and such |
||||||||
|
|

|

I would be happy with some answers to my questions at least |
||||||||
|
|

what do you want to know? tell me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well, my questions or doubts are posted in the first post of this thread. apart from that I would like to know where will I be in 3 months |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see. i don't have answers for those questions. sorry. |

another thing that I am noticing is that this MB is not so mindblowing fast as it used to be... I am not talking about how fast it loads... I am talking about the amount of posts... half a year back this place was still much more heavy traffic than anyother ... threads growed and apppeared every second... 50 threads in the top page only let you see half of a day... now people seem to have calmed down... its not bad or something, but its fact. also not so many people log in lately as before... I see most of the times we are between 30 and 40, we had times when the average was around 50-60 is this only me noticing? |

aphextwin.nu was better than xltronic.com, in my opinion too. aphextwin.nu had: • a complete site • with a nice-looking, user-friendly aphex twin discography • up to 50kb (or something like that) avatars • a cool CG header picture ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(they eyes are cool in some way, the effect is well done but... em.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was a tasty 100kb AND it resized it for you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But that is a good thing. The amount of new topics is at a reasonable level today. Not so many heavy posters online maybe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I didnt say it was bad... but its indeed happening |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we are stuck with 10kb hhaha |

The search function, man... I really miss that thing. I want to find one of my old posts to dig up a song I can't remember the name of, but I can't find it and it keeps me up at night. And the eyes continue to haunt me every time I refresh. I never get used to them. Really cool using that Waybackmachine or whatever it's called. Felt like late 2001 again. How does that thing work? Some machines have all that shit stored on it or something? Must be an enormous amount of information. |

*controversy* I don't really mind The Eyes Of Doom. I never even notice them now. Despite all the recent uproar, i still like this strange old place. It's like an old jumper that's going a bit threadbare, but it hasn't got the ingrained armpit-smell of death quite yet. |

for those who havent noticed: we can discuss new albums again!!!! I mean wqe can start those threads again, not just stick to the already openned ones thanks tune |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes! Look at the board right now! It's all abut the music! Fantastic! |

well i've just donated my $10 for the year. Have faith Maybe if there was more to get involved with, people would be more positive. - Another XLT vibes (no theme, just straight up electronica like it used to be) - Encourage people to post their music and talk about it. At the moment, when someone posts a track, they have to play it down for fear of being called a Spammer. Remember PROMO? Im glad to see a couple of album review threads have popped up, this is a good feature that should be used more. |

note: when I started this thread it was not willing to complain I just have questions that I wanted to know about... this place is great and will be greater when there is more content up... but this thread is just a place where peple can ask or discuss whatever issue concerning the board, opinions, critics, good feedback.... |
||||||||

My 2 cents. For me the board index loads slowly. This is due to a huge drop-down list on the messageboard index (1677 lines, the browser has to parse each one and display, takes time), any possibility of getting this cut down? |
