Penzoline Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Dead Space 1 was brilliant, DS2 was alright too To answer the question, yeah it's been slow for quite a while. Quote
amithaba_buddha Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Dead Space 1 was brilliant, DS2 was alright too To answer the question, yeah it's been slow for quite a while. To be frank i got to chapter 10 and i got sick of it (this one has 2 cd's!) . Looking forward to the new Mortal Kombat.. oh yea! http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcDFkJWxY1M Quote
Dark_Puppy Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Has it always been this slow at Psynews? I'm tryin to post here and there dammit! I spent quite a while on different site, I suppose after so long many people get bored and disappear.. some of the long term members don't necessarily want to talk to newbies since some of them show up and ask 3 things and take off. Trends come and go.. Some of us realize we've spent way too much time posting on a site when there's a world out there to explore. it picks up eventually. and I love the Dead Space series.. turn off the lights, pull up the chair close to the tv, crank the home theater, maybe get a jump or two. DS1 became nothing once you completely level up your plasma gun. killing even the bosses becomes a breeze. Quote
sickdogs Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I use this as a reference and reviewing site, if I hear a name thrown around on other forums or anywhere else, in it goes into the psynews search. Also probably the most accurate and comprehensive review section anywhere. Psynews hasn't let me down yet. However I probably should actually contribute something.. Quote

I have checked this site out for a month or two before joining.. I don't suppose I know too much about new releases and can really add to much of a contribution there, but I can at least get in touch with people who like the same music.. as I'm surrounded by friends and others who do not. My music collection is starting to grow significantly Quote
Time_Trap Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 No, in the past it was pretty crowded and alive ... Quote
Penzoline Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 No, in the past it was pretty crowded and alive ... Then again the site died down as a result of that. Quote
Time_Trap Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Not really. The site died down because mars shut down the offtopic forum , as a revenge(?) towards those who hacked it. Of course the ones that received the revenge were psynewsers ... Quote
Penzoline Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 You are saying like the site getting hacked wasn't a big deal. And I wouldn't say a revenge, more of a precaution. He knew the reason for the hack. Quote
Time_Trap Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I never understood how closin' the offtopic is a precaution against the "hackers". What prevented the hackers from hacking the forum again was that the offtopic is shut down ? Makes no sense. Quote
Penzoline Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 If they hacked it because of what happened in offtopic then they got no reason to hack if it's gone. And it hasn't happened since, so I think he made the right call. Quote
Time_Trap Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Ok , I disagree but let's stop it here and agree to disagree ... Cya around =] Quote
Veracohr Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Man it's positively hopping here since the re-introduction of the Off Topic page! Hell, you can click the "View New Content" link and see more than one page! Quote
ollylovesgoa Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah I've noticed how slow this place is, but it's one of the few places on the internet where the primary concern is real Goa, so i'll do my best to contribute. I visit psymusic uk a bit, it's quite active, but their forum is set out differently, they have just "music discussion", rather than psytrance and other electronica. Quote
Sideffect... Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I have fibernet, so I have not noticed it at all Quote
Procyon Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I like Psynews the way it is. I sometimes post in Isratrance - if you want a crowded place, with a lot of minuses, killlaaargh! comments, controversial reviews, that's the place for you - but it's completely clueless. I also post in another forum in my language, Portuguese, it's also somehow "slow". It's OK to be slow, you can appreciate things more carefully, have a richer conversation, learn more. Haven't you heard about the "slow down movement" yet? Make a search, it's good. Quote

Time_Trap Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 That's what we've been trying .. It's easy for you to say so though , since your weren't here back in the past ... Quote
@reyu Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 That's what we've been trying .. It's easy for you to say so though , since your weren't here back in the past ... True. But I can remember some of the good times I've had. Great memories but not sth I like to dwell upon. The time is now! C'est passé, mon ami. Quote
Sideffect... Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 That's what we've been trying .. It's easy for you to say so though , since your weren't here back in the past ... Mmmmmmm! Psynews was slow too sometimes back in the past, and was often offline for daaaaaaaaays, even before the new forum lay out was started. That's the internet I guess... Quote
Penzoline Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I actually completely know what it's like to lose a forum like the old off-topic which was so very special for some of you. I used to be a part of a forum that some of the best times I've head while on the internetz, great community. Unfortunately it closed a few years ago and there is no other like it anywhere. At least you guys have a start, something it won't have.. I like Psynews the way it is. I sometimes post in Isratrance - if you want a crowded place, with a lot of minuses, killlaaargh! comments, controversial reviews, that's the place for you - but it's completely clueless.

Haven't you heard about the "slow down movement" yet? Make a search, it's good. I'd like to take this opportunity to remind people to read the rules http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=forums§ion=rules&f=2 "- No other psytrance forum criticism" Or in the upcoming revision as it's going to be "- Do not criticize other psytrance forums or institutions to make them appear in a bad light. We are a part of the whole thing and want to be a beneficial element to everybody in this scene. Elitism and such criticism are destructive and can not be tolerated." Let's just leave it at that.

Sideffect... Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I'd like to take this opportunity to remind people to read the rules http://www.psynews.o...ction=rules&f=2 The rules changed! I did'n notice, thanx for the reminder. I just checked them in detail & thoroughly!!! Quote
