Is he back already?

Hello again, little did I know ... life is super (super!) crazy and turbulent for me these days ... I just wrote that first post, read the first replies, thought a little about what to say - then: boom .... I have been through so much it would fill an entire thread! But I put it short: Two family members in hospital ... still in hospital (it's been months). One of them is my daughter, who came over 3 months early. Second one is my dad. It looked bleak, really bleak and it also affected my psychological health. I recovered, but it was not easy and still is far from it. It's all so easy and shortly said, but I don't wanna spill out all my personal details in a post, I did enough of this in the past and while it would do me good, I do not have the energetic resources to process all the replies ... don't get me wrong, you are all great, but this is something I want to share only little. The situation is definitely a lot better now though and the outlook is positive again So if anybody wondered about admin absence, there you have the reason. Returning to it now though, I am happy that this forum exists and that I can write that here. No, I will not retire Psynews (if Mars keeps the server alive). I will embrace the requests from people who offered mod help and we will continue on, past 2024 and beyond I have a way better outlook now, a new private workplace under construction and I will now finally be able to be here more. And I also have begun to post Videos again on Jungle TV, which is a sign that I am well

I heard he is on tour doing keys for Coldplay

hello everyone, also not super active, but still here reading sometimes the news.

Saw the post and felt like commenting because it is important to have this place going. I remembered my old password🙃, it has been a while..

I personally would prefere it if the forum keeps running. I'm only posting once in a blue moon but I do read it way more. And I've been able to discover some amazing tracks/artists/albums through this forum lately so it is still very helpfull for me. I don't think it's that bad if moderating the forum only happens with a delay. Considering the forum is not very active anyway I don't see any harm with that.

Well, hello! 😶‍🌫️ 24 years after first signing up to goatrance.free.fr, I'm still here... This is my Hotel California 🥸 Not very active anymore, shy of some streaming on Spotify and lurking on Facebook. What a pleasure to see some familiar old names in this thread. Missed you guys.

Please keep it going. As we get older other things take up our time but sometimes we also end up with more time. I'd been reading the site occasionally for many years but only signed up two years ago and am visiting much more often now and writing posts. I much prefer old style forums and if you ended this site the members would disperse onto multiple sites making a small community even smaller. I also love the feeling of timelessness this site invokes. People happily continue discussions inside threads that had been dormant for many years. It's trippy. Your average web surfer would get confused by that! The threads remain timeless because the great music is timeless. Thanks for all your hard work keeping the site running.

Yes keep it running, I have some spare time if you need help I think I can help too forums still have some advantages no pub and not so distractive.

All i want is fewer smileys i miss the old few n selected Psynews emojis. Now -at least on my phone- it's hell opening up the smiley selections... So much lag n crash .. :posford: 😛h34r: ..... Love your dedication to the forum, RTP. Keeping it alive.

I love this place and if you need any help with Mod/Admin'ing, I'd be happy to support. 😃

This is my first time back in a while. I used to be very very active here, but real life came and thwacked me on the behind. I made several reappearences and vowed to stay active and never did. The temptation to spend all my money on new expensive releases was/is always too strong and with a family to support it was hard to see all the amazing new music and parties in can't have or go to. I've spent a lot of the last few years streaming music I'm not really into, but recently bought a new dedicated music player (not my phone) and better gear to better reconnect with my roots and listen to more psy and psychill uninterrupted. I have a huge back catalogue of almost everything from the early years through to about ten years ago. I might not be able to buy new stuff but I'm really enjoying my renaissance of classic goa.

Yes some, including myself, stepped over the line on occasions. I sometimes think about it and feel sorry for the dude. But it's pretty fucking wild resurrecting it now and starting pointing fingers and putting so much focus on it. It's some random forum out in the wild of the Internet and we're all here by choice, shit happened. Shit happens is the universal baseline, the universe is chaotic by nature. No offense but may want to start looking after your mental health before you focus on someone else's, and i'm genuinely concerned please don't take it the wrong way. You've created drama and attacked people personally in an anxious attempt to criticize drama and personal attacks.

Funny to see how many old crocodiles are still here lurking once in a while And... I am one of them now 😛

I still dream of steep Bulgarian hills and highways, hot legs and ugly faces while have never actually been to Bulgaria, I have a strong impression of the women there!!!!!!

reger baba! <3

I signed up to psynews back in 2001 and this dude was making noises about psytrance back then how it wasn't coool etc etc, mainly because he wasn't being booked for gigs etc. Still trying hard to sound relevant but as we say in English sometimes He wants to be shit hot but is a coldfart warmed up. See ya.

Indeed, that is his title and it stays even while he leaves the scene

Man, I haven't logged in months and the very first topic that I see is EP stating he's leaving the scene. It's like I've been transported back to 2003. Or 2005. Or 2008. Or every year cause that's what EP does. Biggest drama queen of our scene.

To me that just seems to be his style ... I read enough of the threads back then and almost everywhere there was beef ... honestly, this is one of the fewer threads about or with him that have not yet turned into a flame / warn / ban fest (and I credit everybody for that) ... but whether my memory is right or not doesn't change the fact that I never understood him - which is why I rarely argued in those threads, because the only thing that could become of it is beef, actually. I have to give Kristian credit though for two things: his amazing music - and the sheer power to completely derail the peace on this forum every once and a while "Drama, baby"

Ok? How does composing / producing relate to politics? If you're out of steam or feel burned out, just say so, it's fine. I don't buy this "oh y'all are just sticking your head in the sand, so how about I stop making music to show how upset I am with you.." Thanks, Mom, I guess.

"I'm quitting. I swear. I'M DOING IT. LOOK HOW MUCH I'M QUITTING. THERE. I'M GONE." *furiously mashes F5 for 3 months to see reactions*

come on you cant draw a parallel like that anyone would feel badly insulted being compared to felipe santos

lol, this fucking guy left the scene dozens of time before. It’s like me saying, hey guys, I really hate what Trump was doing to Mexican kids so I’ll stop listening to Hip Hop. What an ass

cop out all right, i get making a stand, but this has been going on for how many decades?? well before he was even born once again another confirmation of true form

I know israel has a huge psy scene and a lot of artist, but you can choose to not support those who work with them, no? It's just kind of ridiculous to see him discard his music people enjoy for any of the reasons he keeps talking about.
