what do we do instead?

it is obvious that we all post here quite less nowadays, at
least the old regulars... even people like tolst, qrter,
tridenti and those that posted more the last year seem to
have reduce their time here, not to talk about xceque, ceri,
phobia, ophecks, jand.... jaworski, pogo, giginger....

where are we now? why is it that we post so much less?

in my case it is all due to work, and also living with my
girl I tend to do other things, its not so easy to come
here

now she is watching a movie I am not interested in, so its a
good moment to spread some thoughts

well, thats it

when I first posted at xlt it was still aphextwin.nu, but it
was called that way only a few months, cos after august 2002
it became what it is today... I was 26 back then... now I am
31 and mid way to 32... and I dont have the same enthusiasm
about the idm thing... I love music of course, but its not
so exciting to write about it anymore... still though the
place is nice to keep in touch with the latest musical news

The period where I posted the most was when I was in civil
duty 'cause most of my work was done in front of the
computer in my office. These days, if I post, it's just
break trolling when I'm doing papers or music.

it could be me, but things seem to have changed since
banfest '07. and the fact that half the xlt vibes #21 (>[])
is filled with idiots asking for an oink-invite doesn't help
either.

well, i get little something for writing music reviews which
also means i get to see most gigs for free which is pretty
much all i do. beside listening to music and watching
films..it's excellent and my mood went up 200% but i can't
afford anything..i live a very modest life see : )

i can't afford drugs which is a shame coz that would
probably elevate my mood for another 200%.

I never got that. If I was on drugs (I've only tried hasj)
or alcohol all the time, I'd feel like shit.

shit in what way?

it always relaxed me (which atm i don't need) but appart
from that it made me feel nice phisically, which is the good
part. i don't know about alcohol though, i was drunk like 2
times in my life.

thanks. i really enjoy working there, the only downside is
the money..eventually i'll have to come up with some odea on
how to work that part out..should pay enough and leave me
enough time for the radio..which could be tricky hehe.

Well, if I smoke hasj or drink alcohol (they have the same
effect), I'm like "any activity that isn't about me messing
with people suckS!"

statistics for companies within eu..lots of money but i
would be wasted every day, so i don't miss it one bit.
infact it's quite the oposite..quitting that job was best
thing i ever did.

maybe you should do just one thing at a time..also it
probably has different effects on different people.

i think you may be too hyperactive so taking drugs maybe
isn't a good idea for you : )

I'm not particularly hyperactive, but I'll never do
psychedelic or hallucinogenic drugs.. mostly because
sometimes reality almost feels apart right before my eyes...
sometimes, I get this sort of weird feeling of a bubble
around my head.. it stops right below my breast. The bubble
has a projection of the world, everything I see, on it, and
it vacillates and it looks like it's always just about to
burst I fear that heavy drugs may cause the burst.
Basically, I always fear its burst because that's the day I
snap.

Yeah.. j198 or whatver his nick is described some sort of
high, and I thought his description was very much like
having a migraine, and I wondered why the fuck anyone would
do that to themselves... drugs seem to mostly be either like
alcohol or like being sick.

fall asleep and listen to some music

I can't post as much as I used to, but not because I'm
overly busy or anything... I do everything in my power to
ensure that never happens... it's just that I don't listen
to much electronic music these days, and since that's an
ubiquitous subject here, I'm like, yeah, whatever. But I
still stick around this place because it is peculiar. I've
spent a quarter of my life here, must go cry now.

Well over half of the people you named have said they post
less because of the large number of pricks who in habit the
board and the fact a lot of the other older members of the
board also post less, if at all. Yes, there are new people
to replace these, but comparatively few of them are sound
and for every decent one there are a dozen knobbers.

Without wishing to be too negative about things though, I
think it's only fair to say I think in the past couple of
weeks there have been a lot more interesting threads/topics
and more civility amongst board members.

What do I do with the increase in time now I'm not here?
Largely it's also done on time I'm tied to a computer
(work)and instead I'm posting a lot more on another forum I
belong to. Whilst the people there don't have as good taste
in music, literature, film, games or aesthetics in general,
they are for the most part a great deal more polite, mature
and funny. I also know a lot of them in real life, which not
only keeps things civil, but makes it quite
pleasent/rewarding, I suppose the way catching up with
people I know IRL is on here. I suppose I value those things
more and more as I get older.
