when you first heard of xltronic, did you like it immediately? did you get it right away? i have been posting here for several years now. i like to imagine how the messageboard interacts with a new listener. what are some of your recollections regarding your first experiences with xltronic.com, and how they differ from your current appreciation of this original and endlessduo.

My initial reaction was in the form of a rash on the end of my penis. This slowly developed into a dull headache, stomach cramps and alcohol dependancy. However, I can't take my eyes off of the deluded wankfest that is Xltronic on a daily basis.

My initial reaction was ''lol''. This was way before accounts and everything, and there was a lot of madness all over the place. The earlier posts were even flakier, things were sobering up a bit by the time I got here, but had a long way to go.
In 2000, I posted on an even sillier site called Beatlesonline.com, it was about twice as active as aphextwin.nu was at the time and thrice as decadent (also had no accounts). It collapsed under the weight of a thousand trolls and I need a new haunt... and since I was getting heavily into IDM at the time, I ended up here.

In February of 2002 I registered an account as 'pachi' at aphextwin.nu. Later that year it was changed to xltronic.com.
I introduced myself by presenting random primate avatars. And I remember when LeCoeur would post 'Quotes/Words of ze Day', as well as Jedi Chris's recruitment of XLT members into the Jedi Academy. And who could forget Amonbrune's brink-of-insanity posting action?
Things have changed since then, with old members leaving, new members coming in, members reaching puberty, and mods and webmasters reaching their 30s. However, the 'Excellent Electronic Music' stands as a rigid tradition. Or, at least an exhibition. Or something...I lost track of what I'm saying.
But yeah, over 3 years later and I'm still stuck here. Well, off and on.

i had seen the name "Aphex Twin" somewhere and i thought it sounded cool, so i wanted to hear what he sounded like, get some info about him etc... i found aphextwin.nu and joyrex.com, and since i was bored i decided to check out the messageboard of aphextwin.nu as well. i was just lurking without posting at the beginning, i remember the names of Ophecks, Quoth, Baron von PickleFoot, and w M w had a much longer username back then too. also there was no avatars. months later i decided to post, the board had upgraded to 4 or 5 or whatever, there was a member called global goon as well... the 60x80 avatar format looked very weird to me at the beginning, i remember my very first avatar (attached here) and since i didn't know what to post first i posted in one of those internet quiz threads, saying that i was 25% gay.
(now if you've actually read all that, you must have been bored...)

i only used the discography at first, and then moved on to the messageboard, not lurking first but just going right in, and over time i have realised that i like you guys but i think you put up a cruelly sarcastic front whereas i think that you should be kind (to newbies), and that you are so caught up in either 1. being pretentious cunts, or 2. entertaining yourselves with your "wit" with little regard to outsiders' emotions or psyches, that you are a poor resource for learning about idm, which is why i'm here.

Heh... I used to visit aphextwin.nu as more of a joke. It had a really bad reputation for being messy and constantly off topic, filled with way too many inside threads and and annoying people that made very little sense, as well as having poor taste in music (ie new to the scene and thought squarepusher and aphex twin was about as good as it got, and cylob was on the next level tip).
For the most part it hasn't changed. But I don't come here to laugh at people anymore. I have become the victim.
I also had a remix posted that was in the top rating for quite some time, back when they still hosted the remixes.

when I first came here it was aphextwin.nu, and I was trying to find out the name of an aphex twin song that I had heard at a friend's house and loved. My first reaction was that the people here were cynical and sarcastic. Not much has changed.

I wasn't too keen when I first joined. Didn't post anything for quite a few months. I just didn't feel I had anything worth contributing and was scared of the response I'd get. I was even more of a lurker back then! Just read now and then even though I was subscribed as a member. Thinking back, it was probably because I wasn't anywhere near as much of a fan of electronic music as I am now.

I found this place when I moved back from London to Nottingham in early 2001 I think, There wasn't as many people here then as there is now.
I sometimes wish I hadn't found it, I have killed so much time here over the years, but I would really miss it if it was gone.

I feel like I do, more or less, get it now. so it's all good. I think I like just about everyone here, in fact I'm enjoying the board recently more than ever before. :)

WooferAttack talked with me about this mb, so I joined in February 2005. Initially my english was shitty, in fact I couldn't communicate much with the people here, but now it is improved thanks to this place. The first times that I entered in the site, I didn't enjoy it so much also because xlt was the first forum that I visited in my life, but then, after posting more and having received a premium membership I appreciated it a lot.
Now I love this place.
Xltronic is tha Blast!
