Members here put together the most beautiful, spot‑on mix for her—a bedtime soundtrack that got us through years. It was played religiously. The mix itself has since vanished into the tech‑void, but I can still hear it in my head. (And if whoever made it is reading this: you genuinely mattered more than you knew.)
If I remember correctly there were a few compilations by other members and this one: [media]https://www.twoism.org/various/GrimOnMbient-KittyMallitti(2006).mp3[/media]
Cheers!
I am in work but can't wait to get home and have a listen!!
Gave the only way i can. With dollars. Thanks for keeping this place running smooth! It is an oasis in the algo driven INFERNO that is the web of social media.

Just donated what I could! I recently discovered the twoism forums and it's been an unbeleivable breath of fresh air for a solitary Boards of Canada fan to communicate with other fans and read threads without all of the modern social media dystopian awfullness haha. So I pitched in what I could as I'm unfrotuantley very tech ililterate but I really want the site to survive and keep the true spirit of the orginal internet alive! Wish you all the best!
Omg its sallybear! still cruising on motorcycles I hope!
Ah the Sallyber motorbike was retired a few years ago, however I am planning on making this my 50th year the year I actually pass my driving test, I am due to inherit an electric car which feels very 2026 to me. I have however unfortunately fallen in love with running, so I tend to use my spangly new running shoes when I want to go somewhere. Lovely time to listen to good music too.
Donation sent. It's a joy to see everyone old and new here, the waves of old faces returning with the incoming new album. Tbh I always feel a little dirty posting the occasional comment on Reddit threads while this place lives on. Home is where the orange heart is.
The response to the donation/support topic has been genuinely overwhelming in the best possible way. The generosity shown by this community over the past weeks has gone far beyond anything I ever expected. Not only financially, which has already surpassed previous fundraising efforts by a huge margin, but also through offers of technical help.
For something that started as a small forum nearly two decades ago, it says a lot about what Twoism still means to people. A massive thank you to everyone who donated, offered help, sent messages or simply showed support. Every contribution matters more than you probably realise.
Techboy has also received offers of assistance regarding the phpBB migration itself, which is hugely appreciated. Right now, the biggest challenge is realistically finding enough free time around real life obligations to tackle this project.. As mentioned before, this is not a standard forum upgrade. A lot of custom work and legacy quirks are involved if we want to preserve the identity and atmosphere that make Twoism feel like… well, Twoism.
At the moment there’s no exact timeframe yet for when the update will happen, but I’ll keep everyone updated as things progress.

sent 40 pounds! lbs? no idea! anyway - long, long since i first came across this forum (at the ripe age of like 16?), i've since stacked up 12 or so years of backend web/systems development experience. so if there's any way i might be able to lend a hand, i'm in!
