OK, fellows. The new site has been around for some weeks now. Now, I need vocabulary feedback from you as well as site suggestions (features, improvements and modifications). Who wants to start this very brainstorm session? |

you know, I think this site is great, its really easy to move around, and looks cool, though you could do with a members section like Joyrex has/had, that would make it cooler for us requlars :) |

Glitch: V5 of the community is having full support for memberlogins etc, thereby tighting the community even more. The upcoming login won't be limited to the messageboard but also working as a gateway to various sections on the site. The login will be fully integrated to the rest of the site. Meanwhile add yourself to the . Keep it coming. |

bring back v3 RDJ w/the moving lines across his face... every person i suggested to go to this site has mentioned that effect ever since. and perhaps a 24/7 chat room w/like 4 rooms so that things don't get all bogged down and start lagging |

Phob, this page is great, ive said so since your first revision. A chat room, might be nice, but i think those rooms tend to debase conversation because of their spontaneuosness, with the message board topics people tend to stay on target whatever the subject, but again Phob, you have been 100% on target, this is the only page i visit regularly. Whatever you do with it, i will check it out.Id even host if you had rooms. Once again and always, keep up ypur work, its brilliant. |

phobiazer0: I think that a chat room would be awsome. but also keep the messageboard, it would be for people that can't just chat but want to leave info/messages to people, and get responses. that would be neato. |

why not have topic based chatrooms, a similar idea to messageboards where anyone can create a topic, but people come in to the room to talk about it... ps. what does phobiazero mean anyway? are you afraid of zeros :)??? in that case... 00000 000 00 0 00 000 000 00 00 00 00 0000 00 00 00 0 00 00 |

improvements: More cover art,.. front and back, and inside-the-front-cover art,... The jiggly pics : although these are good in theory,.. you can't get the help tab (the little thing that appears when you put the mouse on it for more than 3 seconds) without glitching,.. It can be rather annoying more custom zones aphex custom pics (done) aphex custom remixes (done) aphex custom UI (stuff like winamp skins or mouse pointers,.. windows backgrounds etc..) aphex custom - (anything that can't be put under any of the other's) more "features" and more involvement with them,.... (prolly very time consuming for you,.. but the regulars would appreciate it) have the learn section split up into more categories like : "biographies" "interviews" "articles" "RDJ-is-mentioned in this article" "somehow related" and maybe even get some help to scrounge up all the reviews of all the albums and songs that you can,... fix all the typo's (there's quite a few) fix the streaming samples,.. sometimes it'll play the next song down,.. or the next one up,.. or just not play at all make the custom remixes quicker to download,... sometimes I can be waiting for a minute just for it to register that I want to download something,.. when "notify me of future replies" is ticked and someone replies,... put their e-mail within the reply,.. eg: ----------------------------------------------- sugg's and feed ???? has made a reply on this topic URL of topic *^#OK%JSA_S.html ????'s E-mail URL of member ($&*$(@)KSKAK.com or contact phobia zero on ,... you get the idea ------------------------------------------------ don't get me wrong,.. I love this site,.. But if no-one tells you just what's wrong with it then there will never be any improvement I hope I've been incitefull and not annoying |

Ansers to TekN010G: More cover art,.. front and back, and inside-the-front-cover art,... Sure, I'll start a massive scan-session. Expect them in V5. The jiggly pics : although these are good in theory,.. you can't get the help tab (the little thing that appears when you put the mouse on it for more than 3 seconds) without glitching,.. It can be rather annoying Anyone else feeling the same about this? more custom zones aphex custom pics (done) aphex custom remixes (done) aphex custom UI (stuff like winamp skins or mouse pointers,.. windows backgrounds etc..) aphex custom - (anything that can't be put under any of the other's) Yeah, I'm having a few "non-standard" contributions from you guys (like cursors, fan stories, themes, skins etc). I'll add them in V5. more "features" and more involvement with them,.... (prolly very time consuming for you,.. but the regulars would appreciate it) What kind of features? have the learn section split up into more categories like : "biographies" "interviews" "articles" "RDJ-is-mentioned in this article" "somehow related" Sure, I'll take a look at it. Changes will be done in V5. and maybe even get some help to scrounge up all the reviews of all the albums and songs that you can,... I'm having quite a lot reviews not yet added. Expect them in V5. fix all the typo's (there's quite a few) Not my fault! I blame my keyboard. ;-) fix the streaming samples,.. sometimes it'll play the next song down,.. or the next one up,.. or just not play at all Huh? Next song? Anyway, I'll add samples from EVERY track...sometimes they could be lagging a bit but it's usually due to high demand from concurrent users. make the custom remixes quicker to download,... sometimes I can be waiting for a minute just for it to register that I want to download something,.. The usual problem...It's working fine from here...downloading remixes at 60 kb/s...instant downloads as well...Can't do much about this since I know the webhosting company for the remixes are having a VERY fast connection. when "notify me of future replies" is ticked and someone replies,... put their e-mail within the reply,.. eg: ----------------------------------------------- sugg's and feed ???? has made a reply on this topic URL of topic *^#OK%JSA_S.html ????'s E-mail URL of member ($&*$(@)KSKAK.com Why? or contact phobia zero on ,... you get the idea ------------------------------------------------ Actually...No!? what does phobiazero mean anyway? are you afraid of zeros :)??? You could also look at it like... "fear nothing" |

Please have somebody monitor the chatroom in case flooders come in. I HATE flooders. Also, is there some way for us to preview the custom remixes BEFORE we download them? I mean, i hate downloading a remix then listening to it and realizing its crap, then knowing i wasted a good 20 minutes of my life obtaining this crap. There probably is a way already that i don't know about -- stupid me -- but if there isn't, could help me out a bit? Oh and by the way, an article on Rephlex was recently released in an issue of URB magazine (May or June issue with John Digweed on cover) It has a pic of Richard and a lot of good reporting on Rephlex. --OG |

As I am going through the same agonizing process that Phobia is, I can sympathize with him on wanting feedback. Here's a suggestion Phobia - drop the browns, perhaps consider a different color pallette - I still can't figure out why every aphex site ('cept mine) always seems to have a 'brown' version in it's history. :O] I'm changing my pallette to something more daring than before, just to break out of the same old mould. Perhaps consider an alternate navigation system? Don't go 100% flash or DHTML because users WILL complain - trust me on this :O] I'm implementing some new ideas I picked up here and there on my new version of the site. Last question: are you using NewsCat by any chance? |

Something that is worth considering is from the Bogdan raczynski website. Everyone has a little profile with tiny pictures and stuff like that. i dunno.... its really perfectionist like, because it really really is a great site allready! |

Aha! I thought so! :O] Well, this colour scheme is fine, I just thought you'd like to break away from the browns since you've used them for so long now. You should get Tunefish to incorporate some of the messageboard things mine has into this one, or add the photo feature at least-that's always a favorite. |

wouldn't it be kickass if you went for a blue colour scheme? like a futuristic thing or something... one other thing: keep the messageboard simple, ie. no pics and extra stuff like joyrex... it takes way too long to load |

Rob Fragilenine : About the color scheme,... I think that phobia zero has tried to stay true to "warprecords" color scheme's given to the artists Aphex Twin : represented with a yellow square on warp Autechre : represented with a grey square on warp I don't think that It's a co-incidence that they happened to use this color scheme but phobia's "plaid" site seems to be the only exception to the rule,.. it's represented in "skin" color on warp,.. but phob made it dark blue,.. hmmmm,.. Am I guessing right? |
