Good Frenz of NSS Smashhuggler left word of the upcoming demise of yet another music blog. You might want to head over before they're gone & grab some goodies. Literally tens of thousands of things from which to choose.
MixesDB has been around since early 2008. Here's the word right from the source...
"MixesDB will shutdown on June 29, 2024.
The reason for this is rather simple: The website code is completely outdated and cannot be run on modern servers anymore.
For the technically interested audience: The site runs on MediaWiki version 27 (current is version 41.1) and PHP 5.6 (current is PHP 8.3.7). Mostly everything that is not possible on Wikis by default was heavily custom coded by me or its extension is not maintained anymore (e.g. the comments and the foundation of features like the Explorer).
To make it short: The code ran into a dead corner and is not update-able anymore without months of enormous coding effort. And since ads went towards zero months ago and donation models failed years ago, I decided it's better to shut it down now than later.
I know many of us have put weeks of effort into this database, but this is where we stand."
Go, go,
