One might say that.

oh, ok. i got locked out of the board a few months before the site stopped publishing when i decided i'd rather do singles blurbs for free but not album reviews, so maybe you can pose the question for me of what the future of the archive is or if the current outage is just a blip.
― some dude, Monday, 15 September 2008 19:20 (seventeen years ago)
As far as I know, it's just a blip. But nobody's told me anything.
― jaymc, Monday, 15 September 2008 19:43 (seventeen years ago)
And for what it's worth, I haven't archived any of my stuff, either, although if the site does go down I could probably dig through my e-mail to find the pre-edited versions.

I was updating my CV this weekend when this shit happened.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 15 September 2008 19:47 (seventeen years ago)
yeah same here re: drafts saved in e-mail, not a huge deal, i was just curious.
― some dude, Monday, 15 September 2008 19:51 (seventeen years ago)
Dang, I miss Stylus.
― ilxor, Tuesday, 16 September 2008 02:04 (seventeen years ago)

i know it has been gone but now it's really GONE.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 27 September 2008 06:28 (seventeen years ago)
fuck. I had just bookmarked on Monday a couple of great articles to read again and I got seriously depressed to see this. Any way to save the old archives? I don't know, traslade all the files over to the internet archive? The wayback machine?

― Moka, Saturday, 27 September 2008 07:13 (seventeen years ago)
Oh I just noticed that stylus does in fact have an archive page, everything is not lost:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.stylusmagazine.com
― Moka, Saturday, 27 September 2008 07:16 (seventeen years ago)
I'm sure it'll be back again.
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 27 September 2008 08:21 (seventeen years ago)
This fucking blows.
― ilxor, Saturday, 27 September 2008 16:46 (seventeen years ago)
So it's back, but no search function?

From commodore Passantino's blog:
Well, that’s all we’re going to say until (*AIRHORN SAMPLE* EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE *AIRHORN SAMPLE*) the celebratory one-off return “we’re getting the gang back together” decade-end polls drop in a month or so’s time.
Yep, none of us have moved on with our lives in the interim.
Cool.

Alfred said something on a thread recently that gave me the impression this was happening.
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:21 (sixteen years ago)
It is indeed. I'll be contributing, after a fashion.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:21 (sixteen years ago)
It should read "the Stylus celebratory one-off..." but I copied it wrong, or something.
― Cunga, Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:21 (sixteen years ago)
Great news, BTW.
I wish it was more than a one-off reunion, but I'll take it -- happily.
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:23 (sixteen years ago)
This is dope imo.
― contraristanning (The Reverend), Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:33 (sixteen years ago)
Awesome. This is v. exciting news, indeed.

Can't wait to see Kid A still end up winning it.
― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:41 (sixteen years ago)
Can't wait for the P4K No. 1 v. Stylus No. 1 Polls.
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:42 (sixteen years ago)
Well, now that the secret's out, I might as well post a couple of details: a new one-off URL, unrelated to the main site; and new one-off content, including essays.
― Roman Polanski now sleeps in prison. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:44 (sixteen years ago)
Essays! Yes!!
― kshighway1, Saturday, 10 October 2009 23:53 (sixteen years ago)
Only on ILX would you ever read the exclamatory "Essays! Yes!!"

OTM.
And I can't fucking wait.

Kid A won't win.
― kshighway1, Sunday, 11 October 2009 03:17 (sixteen years ago)
However Ned Raggett Reads the Almanac is in with a chance.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 October 2009 03:18 (sixteen years ago)
Ned, how much would I have to pay you to record a spoken word version of Kid A?
― kshighway1, Sunday, 11 October 2009 03:24 (sixteen years ago)
How much you got?
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 October 2009 03:30 (sixteen years ago)
I thought it said Ned Raggett Reads Amnesiac which would also be worthwhile listening.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 11 October 2009 03:30 (sixteen years ago)
Anything is possible.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 October 2009 03:33 (sixteen years ago)
Would you consider using the moniker "RadioNed"?
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 11 October 2009 03:35 (sixteen years ago)
Except that.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 October 2009 03:43 (sixteen years ago)
Good to have limits.
