Yeah, they are there: https://web.archive.org/web/20021130183004/http://psynews.org/

Right. BREAKING NEWS: It was all migrated to his very board but it's hidden alongside the moderators' forum. Seems the latest messages were posted on October 22nd 2008. I don't remember exactly the circumstances of the shut down. Probably too much of a mess.

Hm probably a power failure or something, we a had a couple of very short outages. There is an UPS, but it probably didn't work. I'll heck that later this afternoon. Edit It's back online !

WTF? Bad adsense parameter. I killed it.

Hey @psytonesI did some cleanup here because what you've been saying was unrelated Please check https://www.discogs.com/Various-Goagilde-Norways-Got-Goatrance/release/14699465

So it's a safe bet so say he's not gonna play at the Destination Goa Revival party. which was already foreseen. LOL

Done. Please tell me if "you feel" it needs more speed.

I'll tune the database, a'd that will be all right

Yes that's normal; the database is now on a virtualized container, all I could do to stay on mysql 5.7, which Invision required before accepting to investigate the issue from 2 weeks ago (and after that they complained the fact it was slow might have to do with our issues...pricks). But it looks like I can switch back to mysql 8.0 now, say the developers (pricks*2).... YEAH, right, when I have 1 hour ahead of me.

What RTP means is that he fixed the site unintentionally doing something neither the support nor I thought was a wise thing to do. Anyway, that's a happy ending.

So far I see 3 issues: 1. every thread made since May 1st has zero views. The views are a column like any other in the database, but I'm not sure there's any caching on them. This is php, so every call is a different runtime. Anyway I upgraded the server and database on April 28th, 2-3 days before. in turn, what's the latest thread with views ? April 29th. Puzzling... The latest thread you started which has views is this one and that was on April 28th..after my upgrade. Even more puzzling. 2. I cannot log in the admin console anymore. I asked other admins if they have the same issue or not 3. I see some friendly-url related errors in the logs, not sure this is a theme issue or anything related to the above

It's a paid plugin it seems https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8653-profile-backgrounds/ We can add them one by one, not sure there are extra "packaged" palettes...seems so though, I see some on WebFlake. I'm a bit in the dark here because for some reason I don't manage to log into the forum admin. Those forums were updated countless times in the past and some threads were even on 2 different boards before we moved to IPB (2005). Those threads are known (to me) to have some "issues" of the sort - that are fixable though. Also the very database of this board had a major upgrade 1 month ago too. Side effect ? I'd need to have some example of thread that you noticed is like that, I'd check its age and characteristics and try to fix them.

Hell yeah, how many websites in the world can claim to have 20 years of existence ? For those who are new here and sdon't know how it all started, just have a look here: Psynews (goatrance.free.fr at the time) was meant to replace the defunct Third Eye UK , and it turned out to be much more than that. This community, a lot of real-life friendships and initiatives like Suntrip Records. I talked with the Psynews creator, @Children a few days ago, he's good, his kids are teenagers...maybe you'll hear about him soon

Please read and respect these rules/guidelines before posting new reviews. 1. Please use the appropriate release year before posting . If you're posting in a "multiple year" thread (ie. 1990-1994) then specify the release year in the thread title. 2. If youre an artist / label that wants to promote a new release please use the Promos group and not this one! ANY promos found in the reviews section will be moved and the one responsible for it warned. 3. This section is for psytrance reviews and psytrance related genres reviews. If you want to discuss the best releases this year, what albums should be considered classics, the reviews section layout, the quality of reviews, the latest Tool release, want to request a review, etc. etc., then please use the General or Off-Topic sections of the forum! This is intended for psytrance music and subgenres so no reviews of parties or other music genres. A bigger tolerance will be allowed for old stuff (stuff released before 96) since back then there wasn't an "official definition" of psytrance. Also chillout/ambient genres are allowed as per usual. 4. Before posting a new review, check if a review of the album hasn't already been written. If its the case then write your review in the already existing thread and do NOT open a new one! Finding older topics should be easy, use the Search function: type part or the whole album title and dont forget to limit the search to the subforum of the year you want to post in. If you're starting a new thread for a compilation then you should ALWAYS write the title under the format : "V/A - Name of comp". So that all the compilations will be easier to find. So do NOT start a topic with "VA" (no "/" between the V and the A) or "V/A :" (":" instead of "-"), "VA Name of Comp" (no "-" between the V/A and the name) etc. This is because how search works. 5. When opening a new thread put the name of the album and artist in the topic title and make sure it doesn't have any typos (or else the search function wont work). If you made a mistake, you can easily re-edit the title by using the Edit button at the end of your post, if that function is not working, then use the report function and report your topic to moderators asking to correct the typos. (UPDATED) 6. The new psynews staff has decided that first review, or first post, should always be longer than normal. This doesn't mean an essay by any means. A nice example of a short but still informative review would something around 300-400 words not counting release details. It is surprisingly easy to say things about something you like! People come here to read about the release, to get some information how it is and stuff like "this release is killagrgrhrhrg" won't tell them anything. After the first post you can post mini-reviews and discussion if you so wish, but no derailing of a thread is allowed. If you feel so strongly about something that does not generally have much to do with the release, please make a thread in an appropriate section and stop posting in the review thread. Here is a few well made reviews that should give the general idea on how an informative review could look! https://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/54539-solar-fields-movements/ https://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/56930-fragletrollet-playground-of-spirit-shaman-film-records-media https://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/54395-crop-circles-tetrahedron https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/73083-martian-arts-giant-locusts-tip-records/ 7. Personal grudges against artists or reviewers are not welcomed and will be deleted and might lead to moderation so try to use your brain before posting. If you have anything to say to the artist or another reviewer you can always PM (Private Message) or e-mail them. 8. When you open a thread please include Cover Art, Tracklist(preferably with track lengths), release date, label etc. relevant information regarding the album you are reviewing. Also it might be a good idea to include links to shops that are selling the release. 9. For color or size codes please do not over-do with them and remember this forum has 2 skins so the color white won't show up on another and color black won't on the other. Also remember to clean up font formatting that may be carried over when copying your review from one site to another. For Image usage, it is allowed to post images or gifs in reviews but for images try to keep them relatively small so it won't make the review look cluttered and cause problems for readers. Happy reviewing!

And 6 months have passed, again.
