Yeah. Excellent points and I have NO idea. Hadn't really through all of this through and am still trying to figure out how deep down this rabbit hole I want to go down and I very much appreciate your input and addressing this issues. 😃

I asked a few friends for their advice: They are all between "use another forum" and "make it a read-only archive". Let's wait for more feedback...

Very interesting. I agree on most points. What to do with the existing forum contents? Can it be shared on something like Mastodon? I know the message length can be changed on a given Mastodon instance, but we have VERY long reviews sometimes. What makes me doubt is the fact Mastodon remains quite niche.

The new Younger Brother album is really fucking good. A few massively solid tracks that stand out even amongst an album with no weaknesses. Ticking in the Attic and Endless Drift just hook and capture you It's a truly wonderful journey of an album and is sooooo nice to have them back with new music after such a long absence. They've been very missed and this is the comfort music I've been needing in my world these days. ❤️

I know I'm a bit late to this discussion but I am always pro-owning your own server and owning your own data. I really really hate what Meta (Facebook) and Alphabet (Google) have done to the internet and our communities. I truly love the idea of the Federated Internet and having various Federated websites that can communicate to each other in a way that email allows. So I can comment on your facebook/twitter-like webpage from my facebook/twitter-like webpage that are on different platforms. I have been considering building my own Mastadon instance to network with and build out with other similar instances. Instead of creating new redundant pages/sites on Discord or Slack that are built on the back of another proprietary service, do so in the wild of self ownership. I _LOVE_ psynews for this understanding and completely support whatever you choose to do to keep this place functioning. I do wonder if, since these types of forums are sorta dwindling and a relic of a previous internet age, maybe pivoting to a more Mastadon type of Federated platform would be a beneficial transition for long term growth and usage. Has there been a consideration to maybe make a Psynews Federated Mastadon site for people to use like Twistter/Threads/Instagram/etc? Would love to see something like that happen down the way 😃

Gah, I should have replied already last week but things have been happening. They're still happening but anyway... Yes, that offered price is ridiculous in this kind of use case. Some other software could be more realistic in that sense, but the migration task can range from lucky to really tedious. Hard to predict. Using the content in some other form is an option, maybe even an interesting one. I definitely have to give this another thought. Right now I cannot come up with anything brilliant or even coherent due to things, but it seems we're not in any immediate hurry either. Just keeping at least this thread alive for now.

Did astralprojection asked to remove his account or was he banned? A pity, I liked reading his posts here.

Wish I could have said thanks to the Russian spammer for bumping this, but I listened 15 minutes and it was enough, I honestly wonder why this album is even on this forum, it has nothing related to psytrance, it's club progressive trance, and I read that Armin van Buuren had mixed one of these tracks in a State of Trance mix. Not my thing anyway.

In the opposite to the above post, as the weather is getting hotter, over-ear headphones are sweaty and uncomfortable, however I have gotten used to the huge soundstage and amazing bass and sound of the Sony MDR-Z7M2 and really wanted this in a smaller IEM form. I bought the Sennheiser IE900s and wow, they are really good. The most open, headphone experience I have ever heard from an IEM, Please check them out of possible (BEWARE OF FAKES(

I think converting the database to phpbb3.3 forum is good idea, if possible, I always liked phpbb free clean and simple lots of themes and extensions, I would like help it if something needed

Hello This forum has been running on Invision Power Board for 20 years now. Before that we were on vBulletin I think, and previously on something terrible I forgot the name of. At first Psynewss was not a forum. It was added on top of the reviews resources back in 2001 or 2002. And it moved to a forum/community only as less care was given to the reviews part. So back in 2006 we purchased a *perpetual* Invision Board v3 license for $185. In 2017 when Invision v4 was released, they told us our *perpetual* license only applied to v3 and they fucked us! We ended up making a fundraiser (see here and here). And we collecxted more than 300€ thanks to you. Besides the site was moved from a VPS to a spare Raspberry Pi to save on hosting, and more recently on a mini PC next to my fiber box. Sweet, so we only paid for the Invision subscription basically. We paid $25/semester for 4 years, then those same gentlemen at Invision boosted the price to $40/semester (a 60% raise, mind you) and we've been paying that for 4 years now. Total for 8 years of subscription: $520, so we'll double the 300€ initially collected by the end of the year, but, hey, Psynews cannot be stopped just like that and although it's nearly an archive and that's a cost I can support. One year ago give or take, Invision v5 was released and I didn't care. And recently this appeaed in the Admin console. Our version of IPS is phased out at the end of the year. After that I'm not sure if/how/how much they'll charge us but the bad part is we'll have no more security upgrades... So I checked the upgrade path, which, obvisouslyn led me to the licence upgrade page, which shows that instead of letting us pay for each of their products separately, now we'll get their whole suite for a better price. Alas...a better price for those who used more of their products than the sole forum like we did. So, I was only half surprised to see a 150% price increase : 40*2 + 40*2*150% = 200. Well, we've come a long way since our perpetual licence (lol) that cost less than one year of their new subscription model, haven't we ? I'm really glad they recognize our loyalty in the matter. We have many options: Upgrade to IPS v5 despite the price. Honnestly, although I was happy to pay $80/year for an almost-archive site, I'm not keen on paying $200/year for all sorts of features that we won't even use. I'm not in favor of this also because we've been Invision customers for 20 years and they keep fucking us over. A new funraiser. MEH. At this rate we'd need one per year for site that's barely got a pulse. Migrate to another cheaper/free forum. Maybe doable, we need to check which are available, but they must have some scripts to let us convert our database to theirs. Convert the whole forum to a read only archive. I've been thinking about this over the past year after a talk with an Admin here. We have the database, we could maybe hack something (with AI or not), to make all this a read-only site. At all rates it has to be reversible, for, even though Facebook killed nearly every forum on the planet, the monster is also dying now, so who knows if there's going to be a forum revival in the future ? * Do nothing. And we might be facing hacks if security issues are discovered, or we might have issues in the future if a new version of php breaks something. But why not, it's a stand we can take for a couple of years. We have (at least) until the end of the year to find a solution. And Id be happy to read your input now. As you read between the lines, this is not only about the cost. This is also about the future of Psynews. We have to think of what to do with it for the years to come or what legacy to preserve. With love, fabien mars.
