According to your own opinion, who is going to win this one? Which site is going be the king of the multi-faceted electronic artist website?
I personally think they both will probably be side-by-side in the future in electronic music link pages as essential resources for the entire IDM scene. I would also like to see a alliance in the future, which would be fantastic.

Personally, it doesn't matter much to me. I find out about artists mainly through the messageboards, not through news and websites. The sites are going to be great, and the info on them is going to be really helpful and interesting, but the board is still what I'll learn the most.

Phobia has generated a greater community through afx.nu - so in a way, he's already won.

it's not a war. i would gladly welcome a fusion between the sites and it was damn close it actually happened this time. i think the two upcoming sites have to live their own lifes for a while and we'll see what the future brings us.
the next giant step could much possible be a fusion between xltronic and watmm.
but joyrex and i weren't ready this time. :-/ we're both controlfreaks - and that's the main problem, really.
i wish joyrex+crew the best of luck and im sure the two upcoming sites will have some common projects together.

It is a competition in a good way. They improve their stuff, and you fans benefit :)

If the past indicates anything...
WATMM.COM = The electronic music resource.
AphexTwin.nu = The electronic music community.
I made a long thread about joyrex vs. .nu on the beta board, but very few of you will have seen/remember that.

I mean xltronic.com = The electronic music community.
That is, Joyrex always had better and more frequently updated news & current info, this site always had the better community.

i tihnk itll stay the same...phobiazero's site will be like the community, and joyrex's will be the resource...
joyrex has stronger connections (at least..i think he does) with more artists...so youll be able to go to watmm and get information on...well...=\ the 4 artists joyrex has chosen...
and, if you dont want people saying "this is an aphex twin, not an (insert name of artists her) site" you go to the messageboard of that artist at xltronic!
........watmm june 3rd...! yay! xltronic...........whenever!...yay!

this is a very exciting time here. if a union was to be formed, it could be the greatest electronic supersite ever (on some level). like a virtual electro nation, bringing all the people together to form a unit would bring more power to the fans as a whole.
i don't see a "vs." being called for. common projects and co-op would be awesome. adding strengths together make for best results.

I don't plan on and never had said I was going to cover *just* four artists - I'm just starting with the four most popular and influential first, and then branch out.
It's not a war or vs. anything - I'm doing my thing, Phobia is doing his. The smart user will visit both sites on a regular basis to keep up to date with the latest electronic music happenings.

i hope this messageboard survives...... i mean in its current form (in terms of content)
i dont think of it as an afx ONLY board.... but MAINLY afx.. w/ tons of other good music, and tons of other good stuff, even if its not directly music related
i would hate for it to be to limited
OR
i think it would also sort of ruin some aspects of it if there were seperate boards for all the artists..... there wouldn't be one comunity anymore
and a miscelanious (spelling) board, for NON electronic music topics, would just ruin it...
it would make it much to constrictive.... no friendly community...
this way, u can still read all u can handle about music, plus there's the other stuff

PS: phobe:
cool feature to have a selection of different artists' tracks there for the sampling!
it seems like a great way to discover new artists/music that you might not have heard of through other means
will this be a feature of the full site? hm..... possibly featuring members' music?
