Hi, hahathhat
We've noticed that you've not been active on We Are The Music Makers Forums Forums for quite some time now, and you have therefore been moved to a group for inactive users
(possibly because i was banned from the aforementioned forum forums)
Please note that as of August 2013, all new and renewing accounts (including yours) are paid-only - if you had an active subscription, you will be returned to your previous subscribed group.
(your status as a banned member is in jeoprady)
If you were only in the Members group, then in order to post again, you must purchase at least a Supporting Member annual subscription (3.00USD) - this is an annual subscription, and does not automatically renew.
(please pay three dollars to continue being banned)
You will be sent a notification when your subscription is about to expire.
(lol)

i figured the most proper way to tell the man to get stuffed was to donate five times the amount he requested to xltronic instead, and did. fifteen dollars, and i get nothing for it, except satisfaction

xltronic is zombified
phobiazero doesnt give a fuck about this site ;-)
watmm is shit but syro probably wouldnt be released without that site. it was joyrex who arranged for the caustic window album, that put aphex in a good mood so he shared syro with us then did the soundcloud dump.
phobiazero not giving a fuck + joyrex getting loads of aphex recordings released = dominance of shit watmm site.
here's what needs to happen: someone buys xltronic, nurtures it calls aphex twin, asks him to support xlt instead of watmm get loads of new aphex released all with xlt name on it then watmm will die

^ it would be hypocritical of me to be unthankful for Joyrex getting caustic window lp out there, that was an excellent thing, i think it enabled soundcloud as well which is another truly excellent thing, not sure i would say it was behind Syro getting released, that sounds a bit far fetched but what do I now

i think i was misunderstood. you guys talk about it like picking a religion or political party! i do not give a shit about turning it into some message board competition, xlt is just a good niche for posting a particular subfolder of nonsense and thank you very much for not fucking with it.
take myspace. myspace was never going to come back like it was before, but trying to get it to blast off again with a "new mypsace" only buried it for certain. the guys who got control of it didn't understand why the remaining users stuck around, and pissed them off trying to pander to a demographic who solidly did not give a fuck.
in short, i feel it is very easy to ruin the vibe of a place by trying to force it to become something else, and that the difficulty of sitting on your hands when you run a board is vastly underrated. there is a deep urge to turn into a clone of mark zuckerbird and fix this, monetize that, and begin treating your userbase like shares in your stock portfolio instead of the fickle neophobes that they are.

old watmm vs. new watmm. i miss old watmm.... they never quite let me post all the aphex shit threads (which, for the record, i absolutely had to divest somewhere in order to avert mental breakdown), but it worked, more or less. even moreso after i caved and made a forum on riced out yugo for the aphex threads. that's riced out yugo, the stuff people yell at me to post somewhere else.
on old watmm, posting was free. i donated for a paid account anyways, because postings was good there. new watmm, posting is not free. new watmm, i am banned. posting is not free. on a thunderous evening, plots of a 50c tarriff for a avatars above seventeen kilobytes. 21, you're no fun.
forumwise, i miss the more technical threads for music-making fings, and the generally fresh track posting area, and many of the people who i don't seem to see anywhere else.
beyond that, i found good boards for the things, and around bantime (2012) i spent way too much time on forums (the same way many people just play video games too fucking much) and getting banned from watmm was like cigarettes deciding to quit themselves. i was not happy, but there was no fight in me on the matter whatsoever because it saved me the hassle.
really, though, why would you hit up banned members for the membership fee? i figure it's not intentional; he simply didn't sit down and make sure he'd coded up the email alert properly. like companies sending junk mail to people a year deceased. joyrex, i had only just gotten over the loss of my dear hahathhat. and now this. i'm going to need therapy. i demand reprimands

a returning topic for yonks now, but....
here's what needs to happen: someone buys xltronic, nurtures it calls aphex twin, asks him to support xlt instead of watmm get loads of new aphex released all with xlt name on it then watmm will die
fav+ honestly
Phobzy, if you can't get a proper job and you treat xlt domain as a source of income then please try get a proper job and let people who really love electronic music to take over and make the proper use of of xlt....while there's still anyone interested in doing so. There are many peeps who still believe in this "place" to make it make alive. While for years you acted like a joyrecks dupe and bringing this place to death. JUST SAYING.
move along, nothing to see here, move along......
p.s. why I have this strange feeling of banging my head against a cyber wall ? ....hmmm

yeah this is one of universal mysteries to me too. but maybe he just didn't care as much as we all did and as much as we thought he did ? I am saying "maybe" cause I don't know his real-life motives here really, just speculating. But I'm really thinking "most likely".
I mean if I care about something I won't let it rot.
I had an idea for a conspiracy Keanu meme, though: "xlt...watmm...joyrex....phobiazero.....WHAT IF BEHIND ALL OF THEM IS JUST 1 PERSON = RDJ HAVING THE CYBER LOL"

Didn't the term come from journalists trying to deal with the fact rock was opening up?
They do like to box things. I guess the term quickly branched out to other mediums.
