i just don't want the board to completely disappear one day without any warning. i've been a member of two boards that that happend to and it's a shitty feeling. like having the rug jerked out from under you. people have to scatter to find a new home, and lots of people get lost in the mix. i fully understand how phobia, and the rest of the people who are investing time in building the site feel, but also everyone here has invested time in building up the community. |

I'm not desperate for completion of the site any time soon, and neither should anyone else be. There're more things in life. |

I am happy to pay $10 for the MB, I still don't really know what's meant to be coming anyway, I'm not that bothered with the discog. Maybe they should suggest really bad ideas, like bigger, moving eyes at the top, the ability for everyone to add really lenghty "hilarious" signatures, smileys etc, and then people have to contribute to a certain level to stop it happening. Holding the board to ransom, in a way. |

I payed my money for using the messageboard. The community is what makes this site good. And it's even got it's own discog with some nice scans of hard to find stuff. I don't understand the complainers, and frankly, I feel quite embarassed for them. |

i'm not even a big IDM fan, but i also don't feel bad at all donating $10, or more even. i definately get my share of fun out of xltronic. in a somewhat unrelated asside; in 2001 i was a member of a very established web design community. they were preparing for a very large expansion of the site, but then one day the site just dissapeard completely... the site was timing out. it was 8 months before it came back, and by then a bunch of us had regrouped and created a new community (which is doing very well now), when the original site came back it was owned by a company, and there was many bad feelings among members, it's not nearly as big as it used to be... a real cluster fuck. the whole point of me telling that story is that i'm kinda wary donating money here because i fear the exact same thing may happen any day. it's just kinda rough being on the outside, seeing relatively little progress, and not really knowing any news about what's being done with the site. i mean no offense phobia. |

these posts are really a pain in the ass: ecnadniarb, mappatazee, damn you. I love xltronic. ofcourse it's not about the money, but as we pay, we can talk sometime, right? And then some of you should not act like wise-guys, but discuss it. |

In defense of Phobia (strange, I know), Morton payed the 10$ to have enhanced features like the recordbag and the ability to post images on the board. He got his money's worth I'd say. Now, if the subscription had been set up where he would get access to content not available yet to regular visitors, then he would have reason to complain. I am quite sure Phob has not squandered the 10$ here and there on anything other then offsetting the hosting costs. I subscribed just to support the site, and have never used the recordbag nor posted an image. That's not why I subscribed. |

joyrex is a good guy in my book. |

Actually I would like to know how much has been donated to the board this year...surely it must be close to covering the cost of the hosting? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't you think more people would (be willing to) donate if they saw progress in the site? that is; seeing that it helps to give a donation, it would surely change my thoughts, but maybe i'm different |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yes, possibly. But I can also see from phobias point of view that people keep throwing this $10 donation up every so often, when he is making up the difference out of his own pocket...and for a long time was paying for everything by himself. It seems a little unfair. Sure complain about the lack of content, but I just don't think the $10 should be mentioned. To be honest though, I would rather not have a situation like WATMM had...which was basically very little other than a frustratingly large number of dead links. |

I payed the 10 dollars because I use the message board, a lot... the posting of pictures and shit is a bonus! |

I paid yesterday. Someone bought me privileges before but I think the money is well deserved just because I post regularly and the board is working fully 99% of the time. I don't use the discography but it's still well worth the cash. Morton, just because you paid your $10 it doesn't mean that you have the right to complain like this. There is nothing that says "Pay now and see an extra feature added to the site for every $10 you donate!" or something. I imagine that the site is expensive enough to maintain as it is; the money seems perfectly reasonable (especially when you have made over 8000 posts). |

why does everyone keep coming back on the $10? it's not about the amount of money at all, like i said in my previous post i just think more people would be willing to donate if they saw progress in the site (seeing that it helps to give a donation), if it works both ways it works better imo (a line like 'more stuff coming soon people' and a release date in 2001 makes people get expectations and when nothing changes for months it leads to disappointments imo (for me at least)) if the people on zz9 plural z alpha still live under dictatorship i can see where your remark about me not having the right to complain comes from, otherwise i can't |

this mb is great for music information and fun. if you're after something specific, there are many other sites that deal with reviews, discographies and all that. personally i wouldn't mind if it stays like this forever :) heh, afterall i have +20k points. i'll keep donating too, only because i would like to see the site remain opened, just so i can have fun and read about music! |

Quite frankly, I'm not even waiting for the big release anymore. Not that I don't give a shit but with the huge delay I stopped looking forward to it. I'll see it when I see it. |
||||||||

everybody keeps coming back to the $10 because you made quite a big thing out of no longer wanting to pay it in your initial post. so your complaint is really about the site not coming online. fine, but the only way you feel you can complain about it is if you connect it to the money you paid. so then people keep mentioning the $10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, my complaint is about the site not coming online/not progressing when there are many people supporting with donations, so it's not really connected to the actual $10, but more to the will of people to help, the fact that this is mostly by donating money isn't really relevant (and the amount of money doesn't matter at all imo, people are just showing they want to help when they donate any amount of cash) |
||||||||
|

shit, I'm sending my $10 now, and my soul ! |
||||||||

dude there is no mentioning of the ten bucks in his first post at all. i'd love to donate and i like to know about what's going to happen... isn't that fair? (joyrex, how come you think it's just about the recordbag and picture-posting?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well yes, if you want to get pedantic about it, the number 10 is not mentioned. but he does mention he won't be renewing his contribution, which is at least 10 dollars. he directly links his unhappiness about evolution of the site to him having contributed. joyrex gets the idea from the frontpage: "By donating to this site you'll make of its future existance. To show how much we appreciate your donation we'll upgrade your account to Premium member, valid for one year for each $10. The benefits are currently: picture posting on the messageboard, maintain your own recordbag and the upcoming feature artist promotion, which allows you to upload a few tracks on xltronic to promote your hard work." |
||||||||
|

to be honest, there is a serious lack of content here anyway. if the MB went offline, all you fools would need to do is find another messageboard. no big dif. |

I really dont listen to IDM much more. It's becoming boring to me. I still love the classics but i have yet to hear something new and innovative to my ears. Yeah it has been a long time though since i heard something was going to happen with this site. I guess i am kind of interested to know what is going on. |
