SUBMIT — HELP — SPOTLIGHTS — DONATE
I am your host TangenT D.‘Noir. The past 2 months have been a rollercoster ride. After a long struggle of switching our webspace and settling in here, TheXFactory .com has finally returned on this Friday February 28th, 2025 at 2.14am.
This year’s short term goal is $100/year(normally $20/year for one certificate at a time) for the cost of unlimited domain SSL certificates for members who host sites with 1st level domain names(example: DJversion666.com). These 1st level domain names usually forward to TheXFactory .com webspace without error(example: Yourname .com forwards to TheXFactory .com/YourName, etc). However, domains now require SSL certificates in order to prevent some browsers from displaying an SSL error and requiring the user to click through before fowarding to it’s destination. So this short term goal is very important for smooth arrival to member websites. Our long term Annual donation goal is $900 which includes the $100 short term goal.
DONATE DIRECTLY HERE if you wish to help support these and many other goals. Also feel free to submit a PUBLIC ONLY Creative, Do It yourself, Do It Together, and/or Small Business listing HERE in exchange for your donation. Both help to keep our website alive and kickin’.
As of Feburary 28, 2025, the following site activity happened;
- Extended social media about sections for listings. Many social sites don’t show longish about descriptions if users are not logged in. Extention may only be submitted via email only. example: Bluesky-listing.thexfactory.com/tangent
- Implemented readable links for listings. Shorter more readable urls. Links switch forward to direct single listing or links switch forward to a list of multiple listings with the same name. EXAMPLE OF DIRECT READABLE LINK: Bluesky-listing.TheXFactory.com/tangent EXAMPE OF LISTING LIST: Listings.TheXFactory.com/tangent
- Prepared to make listings updates archivable via passcode in the future.
- Built out a few one click lists above search engine box.
- Improved search time from 7 rotations to album 3 or 4.
- Made basic adjustements to listings
- Switched main public social media hang-out from Facebook to Bluesky at bsky.app/profile/thexfactory.com & bsky.app/profile/tangentnoir.com

- We started moving TheXFactory .com website to a less expensive webspace. ‘Twas a lotta work but “Hellz heya” :).
As of January 3rd, 2025, the following site sactivity happened;

As of August 28th 2024;
As of August 28th 2024, due to out of control hyperactive automated A.I. rules, Facebook has evicted/banned my profile account at facebook.com/TangenTNoir (TangenT D. Noir). My offical facebook page at facebook.com/TheXFactorycom and it’s groups(although they may still be visible and public). However, due to my banned status, I am shut out from moderating my attached profile, page, and related groups. So, please do not expect to contact me(TangenT D. Noir), my website page (TheXFactory .com :: Creative Network), or any of the related groups on Facebook.
So, I am looking for the next best popular social media site with simular functionality to Facebook where I might find my Facebook friends. In the mean time, CLICK HERE to contact me and link up via email and send your contacts, promotions, links, events, etc. Hopefully, this will help to reduce all of our dependencies on the socials. Don’t forget to check your spam folder for my email replies. The subject line should contain a one word greeting, my name, and come directly from an official email address at TheXFactory.com. That is all. Peace.
Heya all. I am TangenT D.‘Noir a Conceptual Musician / Catalyst Creator, Project Manager, Web Developer, and Owner/Founder at TheXFactory.com :: Creative Network. This website has been conceived, built, and maintained by me since 2000-06-18. It is the place where I like to offer some simple services such as donation supported submissions and updates to this little Original Content Search Engine, some social media promotion via chosen commercial social media network(s), and any other odd random requests for Creatives and/or like minded Creative Small Business Types.
I also consider this website to be the home for the well intended conspiring parts of my mind. Check out TheXFactory.com/mission page for some-what of an origin story and explanation of how deep this little rabbit hole goes. If you are feelin’ particularly curious, you may also want to check out my music project, also hosted within the TheXFactory.com’s webspace at TangenTNoir.com(TheXFactory.com/tangent). 🙂
