In all of my 200-and-something years on this message board i have noticed one thing and one thing only, and this is that the mb never felt as safe, welcoming, or stable as it did when i first arrived. I have seen maidens turn to witches and wizards to fools. I have watched the sturdy structure of the aphex twin community start to crumble away. Maybe someday we'll learn to deal with these goblins, but for now I will be confined to rocks and sand, beneath the Billy Goats Gruff.

I've been around this MB for quite a while as well.... and I've seen much worse periods than now. It goes up and down - all the time.
So, I have to disagree with you.

I have to agree with McCabe
When I came on this MB about 1,5 years ago (I guess..), it was more welcoming then now; people were more open-minded I think.

I've been here for ages but i never post.
I've been here for ages but I've never really known anyone, and no one really knows me (here) so I spose it's never really felt like "home" to me.
nice board though.
I think a similar thing is happening to watmm aswell. lots of ppl have moved to another board

so, what do You do to welcome new people? what do You do for making this a better place? or are You relaying on other members?
sido dyas said something very true in a previous post:
Ask not what aphextwin.nu can do for you , but what you can do for aphextwin.nu.

Phobia: I totally agree with that. I'm not posting here a lot, though, but my opinion is some sort of guess, also concluded from the difference of the topics (and the people) I found here 1 year ago and those things now.

well I have been here for quite a while and all I can say to that is
bollocks...
a community is an organic entity..just like Pobiazero here say, there will be ebbs and flows ups and downs..people getting interested in some people, topics issues etc, and people losing interest in some people, topics and issues..some will be more popular than other, others more annoying than others others more popular AND annoying than others..all the rules of social dynamics that apply in offline communities..will all apply here..only the expeirence is more concentated and substrated..
I mean I barely ever get more than a few replies to anything I post..but those replies are usually just enough to lift me up out of the dumps..or anger me but in whatever way alter my mood, give me a different experience....which is one of the motives behind coming on a board such as this and posting

I've said this before in a different thread - this is quite a large community of quite well-versed people.
there will always be a person who has some criticism on a topic you start up, and they won't be afraid to voice their opinion.
but thats what happens on a healthy messageboard..!

well i was here since v4 from about feb/march last year but i went away because not many of the original crew remained here for v5 plus i was away for about 3 months and while i was away the board changed over and then there were all these new people and i didnt know how to cope with it and i got really stressed trying to keep up with the messages and nobody would respond to my posts and i got really depressed so i went to tefosav. sorry

When he relised he was in a bit of trouble with Jand, he just thought he'd better go out in style... hence the 40 topics.

I have been a member of many messageboards. I have to say this is THE absolute best one I have ever been on.
No post unanswered unless it is pure shit.
There is a smart and diverse crowd.
Beautiful and efficient design.
I don't have a whole lot of room to talk, being so new to the forum, however i can say that this has been my most positive msgboard experience in my many years tied to this box.
I spent the other day reading pages and pages of older messages. Most of those people were assholes (nearly all are long gone).
Furthermore, threads like this one can only serve to strengthen ties within the community.

this MB is not going down the toilet...especially if we all keep one important thought in MIND.
respect for each other and for the MB!
if that golden rule is followed it will continue to prosper.
sure there will be trolls and people going crazy.....however those too will pass....ehehhe
i find it to be filled with intelligent people who i've learned quite a bit from, that is my biggest compliment to the designer and the people that make up this place!
