XLTronic Layout Appreciation Thread

It has just re-occured to me that I absolutely love the
layout of both the messageboard and the main webpage here.
The rest of messageboards I've lurked around are simply not
up to par [read: WANKSHOT], and I would like to take a
second to give thanks. So, mad props to phobia, tune and the
rest of the team for their hard work, and also much love to
the community here as well. Thank you, goodnight.

and by "layout" I was also including the excuisite color
palette here as it is Aphexy/classy yet very easy on the
eyes.

Speaking of eyes, I've even grown used to the Æyes. I
barely even notice them now and for some reason the unibrow
isn't as menacing as it first was. sweet.

I meant to say
"Phobiazero has mad database skills"
NOT
"Phobiazero had mad database skills"

Damn you, "D" key. You're so close to "S". I know your plan,
waiting for my finger to hit you. I know your game. Damn
key.

Haha. I never quit. I said I was taking a break. If you
consider the fact that I was making like 10 posts a day, a 5
day hiatus was a big break for me.

I cant really leave this place. It is all I need in life and
everything I cannot achieve at the same time. Its a tragic
dychotamy that intoxicates my very core.

this is an ass-licking thread, but i have to chime in
anyways: the format of the board is the only really
tolerable one i've encountered on the internet -- it really
can't be beat for immediacy.

this is easily the best message board i've been to because
of it's style.

unique? i beg to differ.

does anyone notice any similarities between Xltronic and
Warp site layouts and color scheme? ;)

especially that background color.

the only similiarities i notice are the corners of the
messages.

yeah, indeed... you are not totally wrong...
but xlt is not warp-alike to the extent planet-mu is. Just
some 45 degree corners, but that's a common thing. Not the
designers republic were first to come up with this idea, i
guess.

again, how about the background color? ;)

not *very* different, but quite different enough. open up
warp in another tab and see for yourself.

the background color is a very common color to use... it's
standard.

and colorscheme of this site was developed long before warp
had their current site up and running....

even aphextwin.nu in '00 had this colorscheme.... and the
new warp-site got online in '01 or something.

so i wonder who actually got inspired?

i like this layout allot, i have not seen any better looking
messageboard really.. and as you spend quite allot of time
here i think it's important that it looks at least decent.

I cant stand all those cheap looking forums with all those
horrible fat boxes everywhere and urgh those smiley
attatchments!! =/

this is clean as it should be!

Joyrex called, and he's tired of people stealing from him...
you WANKSHOT! (referring to the use of the word 'wankshot'
if it wasn't clear enough..)

i didnt used to like it very much, but after learning i
could view more than 25 topics at a time by changing it to
100 in my edit page i got a little more RZPKT for it.

50 topics per page should be default IMO

What I like about XLTronic is the simplicity. Compared to
the watmm board it has a very calm design, it let's you take
time to read the post in your own pace. You can both skim
through posts and read carefully without annoying animated
smileys or garish signatures at the bottom of every post. If
I were to attribute personalities, watmm would be a
hyperactive kid constantly shouting what he could do while
doing silly faces, xlt on the other hand would be a
reflected man sitting in an armchair quitly smoking his
pipe.

I like it. I've already announced my love for being able to
watch a film using Winamp over on the right hand side whilst
browsing the board.

but it's comedic gold!! Call him back and tell him we at
XLTronic need more obscenities for use in our posts so if he
could go ahead and insult phob again that would be killer.

oh my god, I never noticed but that right-hand margin is
just about PERFECT for Winamp... haha excellent!
