watmm.com: maybe less people are using it now because it has that dark grey/blue colour? the forum was nicer when it was a pale yellow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As do I. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yep, nice format. need to switch the colors on vsnares.tk MB, its god awful baby blue and white :S |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I dont know people form the Joyrex used to intimidate me..is it still that hostile over there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Flea, they think it's really hostile over here. It goes both ways, but I don't think either is hostile. Well, I think over at watmm, they're generally more open-minded and respect other peoples' opinions more -- of course, that's not to say that everybody here is an arrogant prick. If that was the case, I wouldn't go here. I prefer the blue to the yellow. The yellow looked like a puke colour to me. :/ |

maybe it was because the time I read there about half the posts seemed to be about THOSE IDIOTS ON APHEXTWIN.NU did this or that...I mean this is the only board I ever really post on..so it's like home to me..and I guess I was a bit too taken aback to contribute anything there..in that atmosphere... but that was a while ago..just have been just a bad time and bad place... |
||||||||
|

|
|
i only regularly visit pages with minimalist designs. watmm is overdone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I posted a while over there, when it still was joyrex.com. bla than i switched to NU cuz, i like the anarcho style of the board more............. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, agreed...I think the atmosphere is far nicer and we're a much tighter cru...when I was there I never felt as if I got to know anyone very well, not the same sense of connection & friendship I feel here... I still visit from time to time but seldom post...agreed, on the design of the mb, I too prefer a much more minimal design like our little home here....It also seems pretty quiet recently (i.e. not many posts..)... but I guess it's "quite good" tho...;)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the look of it, but I only use the discography & interview resources rather than the mb... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, yeah :) this MB is warm and fuzzy. Give us a hug jand ;) |
||||||||
|

This MB is more easy-going, wich you can see of the amount of posts. I think watmm is better when you want to read serious postings. There is only a small amount of "shit-talking", and almost no fighting. I think the number of posts on .nu makes the small amount of info I need, drown in other stuff (It's my fault too, I know). But I like to hang out both places. I think most people prefer to be at only one of the MB's |
||||||||
|
|

|

I never liked Joyrex's MB this has always been better. The same people seem to return so you do get a sense of community. Only the other day I was talking to my mates about how someone I knew was in a pub that got hit by lightening, only to find out it was one of you guys. It was a strnge feeling. I genuinely thought I had been talking to someone about it, and not just having read it on an MB. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah,i dont really like the design at watmm, just to much for the eye. and ive never felt "home" there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I used to visit Joyrex.com a lot back in the days, but aphextwin.nu got so much cool members right now, and Its like this forum is more warm and fuzzy ;) Im a oldie on both boards. |

takes way tooooooooooooooo long to load for me, so i only go there when they've got something worth it. |

watmm.com takes much longer to load with recent versions of Netscape than with IE (on Windows anyway). Navigating the site with Netscape 6+ or mozilla can sometimes try my patience. It might be a stylesheet rendering issue or javascript thing. It's probably Netscape's fault. |
||||||||

i like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

since I am a "meanie" today I would just like to say.... watmm.com has a slooooooooow BBS's and an unorganized interview section (interview are not organized chronologically) and all around bites it.... sorry joyrex but thats my opinion and I am entitled to it..... (too much ass kissing going on) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WATMM IS really slow with Netscape, although I don't think he ever tests it with Netscape. It's a shame though, because IE won't display the message board properly for me [I'm on a Mac]. |

I had an account at Joyrex.com, but haven't posted in ages... I read it occasionally. It's a nice board, but this one is just so much looser and funner. Much busier... yeah, it's not as serious, there's some weird stuff... but there's more than enough ''serious'' posts to keep the serious people occupied (that's a lot of serious, what a poorly written paragraph). As for the site, a lot of work went into it, and it's pretty spiffy, but not my cup of tea. I like the minimalist thing, too... the content is great, but I'm not too fond of the interface. The minimalism of this site is just flawless, soooo sleek. |

Ophecks: You might be in for a rude awakening with XLTronic then - guess what happens when you multiply artist information by 4 or by however many XLTronic will have? I also think you might be mistaking minimalism for lack of information (don't take that the wrong way). I'm not going to sit here and defend watmm - it speaks for itself, and I'm not in any 'who's better' competition like some five-year-old. I got too much to do to be worrying about that. Netscape 7 (the beta at least) seems to have solved most of their speed issues (they still don't support the bordercolor attribute), and finally renders CSS almost as good as IE does. Doctorvee: our new MB might resolve that issue (although your problems seems to be somewhat rare, because I get plenty of Mac IE5 users). In the end, it's to each his own, and that's where it should end. |

Mickey Mouse: The interviews here are not organized chronologically either :) |

Maybe I came off as a bit too critical of your site. Actually it's one of the few websites that I visit regularly, one of my faves. I just have an obvious NU bias. ;-) Just different strokes for different folks, you know. You have a different approach than what I like. I'm just a sucker for Phob's style of design, and for this board. But you're doing a fucking GREAT job. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks Ophecks - no worries, I'm not out to force anyone to like my site. I can appreciate and admire your support for Phobia (he deserves it), and there is nothing at all wrong with that. I think that's what makes these sites so great, is the devotion of all the users. |

bah well it makes sense that i post right after joyrex, a moderator of the other board. but i used to post here agesss ago but i barely knew anyone and always knew loads of joyrex.com, and to be honest it has become a lot less intresting at watmm.com to tell the truth. vik and corey feldman stick out in my mind as highlights. watmm.com is very slow on updates (people are so lazy!) and this place is so quick its more my pace, cos i just like putting random stuff in. anyway i know that it was bad a while ago but its all seems ok now, maybe its the calm before the storm but im sure we are all sensible people anyway...... :) |

Hey Joyrex, I reckon my problem's probably down to some sort of corrupt file or something, because I keep getting Javascript errors all the time now, so I know it's not your fault. :) Downloading a newer version of IE doesn't work... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is true..... but its just the fact that this site kicks soooooooooooo much ass over your site its not even funny - end |

Is it me or has the mb over there changed again?... Think it's using the same off-the-shelf software as a lot of other mbs out there...makes it look fairly generic tho but should be a lot stabler, I guess... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like watmm.com i expend most of the time over there, but i have to say that here the people make more ass posting something that i like and enjoy at the same time makes it hard the keep track of topics both boards are good, in different ways |

JOYREX! The messageboard now works with IE 5 on Mac! Thankyou! Thankyou! Now I don't have to have 2 browsers open when I'm on the net. And it's much faster as well! Mac users rejoice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Jand: Yes, it's "off the shelf" as you put it...when you have the time, could you custom code me a MB so that way I don't have to use "Off The Shelf" stuff? The board was ALWAYS stable, through two database migrations to boot - as for the look, well, yes, it's generic - what do you expect from "Off The Shelf" software? I'm customizing the skins now. Sorry, woke up in a bad sort, and I am in no mood to deal with .nu facism :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jand says (In farmer accent) "Ger off my MB" :) Nowt wrong with off the shelf stuff so long as it's skinned :) I really like the watmm BoC section. Well done Joyrex, it kept me enetertained through an otherwise tedious lunchtime :) |
||||||||
|

Looks like I'm smiling too much... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I love the knobtwiddler section in Watmm, all serious artists who really listen to your music and give (constructive) critiscism. Maybe the new XLR-site, should have a similar specific musicmakers board. That would be sweet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
watmm's highlight for me is the news...its worth checking almost as often as warprecords.com just for that. The only news updated here is on the MB...watmm is a great site, and it would be even greater when every section is up and running |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thank you all for your support...it means a lot to me. watmm will get better over time...all good things come to those who wait. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
JOY...Sorry.. you took my off the shelf comment the wrong way....I was simple comparing it the cutom job we have here... Hope I didn't sound mean... You've a great job, mate...and it's looking better all the time... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I am actually waiting for the day when you folks find a reason to flood our messageboard again. That would keep us moderators (yes, I am now a moderator :-D) on our toes and I imagine, quite amused. Can't say much for the news-bit here, WATM definitely ownz that in all ways... after Joyrex gets WATMM content all sorted, the site will be healthy competition for Xltronic, whenever that's coming out. Nice one, boys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahaha we flooded your mb? what is this... highschool rivalries? hahahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A LONG time ago.... when this board was down for some reason... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean flooded... as in the .NUers just hung out there for a bit... or they flooded the topics with long useless nonesense? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They hung out there for a bit and also took it upon themselves to flood it with semi-useless nonsense. (Some of the folks were/are quite pleasant. Some deserved a kick in the fuckin mouth.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheheh "(Some of the folks were/are quite pleasant. Some deserved a kick in the fuckin mouth.) " amen brother amen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you'll find any news is annouced on this mb well before WATMM news is updated.... sorry if that sounds kinda "nanana my sites better than yours" but in this case it's true.... |
