outloud.fm/ILXORS — it's like Listening Room but not buggy and like turntable.fm but not designed for tweens. (RIP 2012)

yes

this is strangely interesting.

plug.dj/ILXORS - it's like outloud.fm but not dead

weird -- can't get at it from any of my browsers

Weird. Worked fine for me from Chrome; just took a few seconds for every piece to load.

This is less terrible.

fuck -- http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ says it's up, but I can't get to it

If you have any ad blockers or anything active, it won't load.

Someone else get in here, I've got a spaced out little Teddy Bear avatar.

Whoops, wrong login.

Not having to load Mp3s definitely makes this a little more flexible.

Hey Reverend, where you at? Its very rock and roll in here.

Well, it is late so I must stop. But I'm definitely happy with that place. Hope WmC can find a way in, though.

Tried all evening, no luck.

i'm going to give it a try, but if i have to buy clothes for an avatar i am outta there

i'm the only person in there and it is REALLY confusing

ok that wasn't so bad. kinda silly but does the job + we can watch movies!

the movies idea has potential

We are in http://www.plug.dj/ilxors

Come in, come in. I am in robot songs mood tonight.

Sounds like I am having the same issues WmC had last night. Can't login with either Firefox or Chrome.

Oh wait, that was just using facebook. Logging in with google works fine.

Somehow it works for me tonight. I clicked on the link in the Facebook ILX chat thread, instead of typing in a URL.

Still roboting!

u r all gone. either that or i am doing this wrong

i'll pop in for a bit?

i think i am here? i dont know how to use this. there are cartoony bears all around.

i am that dancing bear

Interface is waaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated.

anyone for a late night session? just load something if you are

back!

Interface is definitely fiddly at first but you quickly get used to it

http://outloud.fm

It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

Interface is waaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated.

Seriously, I've only been in for two sessions but it's completely easy once you get used to it. You just have to poke at it a bit to see how it works.

and kind of grit your teeth about how horrid it looks

I... kind of like the look. As I've said before, I prefer clean functionality over any graphics, but... I kind of like the trippy pyramids and strange creatures.

Me and crüt are playing around with it right now, if anyone wants to join in.

what's the "turntable" thing you can load from?

nm, i'll google it

anyway, my favorite thing about outloud was that you could load from your own files, you didn't have to search on this or that site. this loses that, but the ability to share videos is nice.

Oh yeah, I miss that ability, totally. This is a different thing, but seeing as we no longer have outloud, it's the best we've got.

Still no word from Michael on outloud yet, btw. It's the weekend, though...maybe he's not on fb at the weekend.

i may be here

Anybody around?

no. football is on

Also: BEAR with it, JJ. You'll get used to it.

Second call for Sunday afternoon rock party?

alright, here's the word from Michael:

hey dude. i know, i'm sorry

we're bummed too, but the reality of it is that we recently started getting letters and phone calls from BMI, SESAC, and ASCAP (the music licensing agencies) asking for money to secure licensing, since continuing to operate the site requires broadcast licenses from each agency. way more money than we are capable of coughing up right now, sadly. so at the risk of also getting legal threats for not paying up, we had to take it down for now until we figure something out. i'd like to bring the site back in some fashion, maybe something password resicted or invite only, but i'm not clear on if that would protect us legally either - we'll have to see.

:( bye outloud, it was fun.

Tis a sad day. Actually, I guess the truly sad day was several weeks ago when it actually went offline, but knowing what happened is also very sad.
