Dear Community,
Xltronic.com has been online since 2001. It's been quite an experience.
Our aim was to bring people together, including fans, music makers and established artists from the electronic music scene.
My guess is that we had quite a success doing this.
Due to lack of time, resources and funds - the site has been hurt a bit lately (need more caring). It's difficult for me to see this.
So, I figured we'd start fresh and reboot Xltronic into something different. Something that is easier for me to maintain, care and update.
A fresh new start is upon us. I'll invest into a brand new server, co-located closer to me (e.g Sweden), build a new site
using an established CMS with premium extensions. Despite the changes, rest assured you'll feel familiar with the site.
I know some of you like the site for what it is, but you have to admit it could be improved. :)
Although, hesitating to ask for donations, I now feel donations would be more than welcome
in order to establish the new site. I can't afford this alone long run.
In addition to the kindly donations I'll send out another newsletter, tomorrow or so, which includes an offer
from a partner regarding a software built for music making. Buying this particular software by following the link,
would greatly help Xltronic financially.
Thanks for your patience and feel welcome to ask questions regarding "Xltronic Reboot".
Paypal: phobiazero@xltronic.com
Sincerely, Phobiazero

Good to hear you're alive. Xltronic has been part of my daily online life for.. years, and has led to some great friends on and offline. Donated to the Reboot and here's to the future!

hehe, hello there
just a local silly joke
I'm embarrased I haven't been active on the forum, I think these are great news and could improve on the lifetime of this wonderful community, the first messageboard where I felt comfortable when I was in need of electronic music guidance
my best wishes always

Hey Phobiazero, just a new user here who started only in 2001 randomly and oddly then finally became more regular these past years. Thanks for the whole site and keeping it going all these days. Need to get some way to get paypal to make a donation, haven't got it at the moment. Anyway, hope there can one day be a massive xltronic party with lots of babes and stuff and good music.

oh yea, i meant, fucking great, long life to xltronic, maybe the reanimation of the zilty will bring a reanimation of the electronic scene somehow... it was a great resource of info for idm-braindance back in the time, and im sure it was essential for the genre success, wasnt it?
thanks phobia! im afraid i cant donate now, but my best wishes (and efforts) will be for the success of the new zilty! (i hope the mb keep on running like always...)

Interesting. I like the whole music prod software idea to raise some funds. In a sense, how many years has xltronic been untouched for? A little been of a refresh,reboot would be positive i believe. Change is good anyhow............. Love live Zilty & the Zilterz

What sort of music are you into these days Phobiazero? Photodementia any good to you? Wondering what sort of musical direction the site will be about seeing as Aphex Twin barely exists any more except as a memory

Well, My Bloody Valentine have just delivered a new LP after 23 years, Bowie one after 10 years, ... so why not XLT Reboot?
Maybe even new Fawn album?

i do hope all the posts and logins will be carried over. part of the charm of this place is watching people and topics from 2004 randomly surface. without the old content... i dunno. there's a reason people get their favorite comfy chair reupholstered rather than simply buying a new one. far less inclined to donate if it's going to be zeroed out, as there's no guarantee the new version will take off, and without the old gems there's nothing to fall back on.

i'll sponsor this pinto $15 straight of for good times had... once the perl script i wrote to spider all the posts finishes (30 hours from now, by napkin math). next, i'll pledge another $15 if all the old content gets ported to the "reboot." finally, i'll drop a further $15 in 1.5 years if the "reboot" doesn't totally kill the place.
this is also presuming i don't get hit by a bus tomorrow, develop a smack habit, etc

I'm looking very much forward to this (both what software-deal you have found, and the site). Please say so if you need any assistance Phobz. I'm still working on web, though more C#/.NET now, but my HTML/CSS is hardcore. I have my exam as a webintegrator the 20th, and then I might have some time for helping if you need it.

This site is very unique and it's design is still quality so would be a shame to see it change greatly. However, XLT definitely needs restoration of basic features it lost along the way, so pleasing to see you haven't just given up on it.
I have a paypal problem with linking my bank card but when i get any new payments in I will gladly sling a few bob your way.
Also curious to the software?
