watmm is down, and joyrex@watmm.com bounces.. anyone know what's going on, when it will be back, etc? thanks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joyrex told me that he's tired of running it. all hail xltronic ;D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joyrex can be so lazy sometimes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah after i stop sending him viruses and stop hacking muhahahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are so obervant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can tell watmm is offline cause zues turns up on here again. am i right? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for the love of fuck, the e comes before the u :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lolz not the hardest name to spell, dude Watmm is on a crap host (I think) which constantly fucks the site over. I think Joytrex mentioned moving hosts (again) coz of this shit happening constantly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it would go down alot... but that was because of a faulty server box watmm was moved off it, and its cured of that. this is soemthing totaly different. this just means too much data was being transfered. i know this, becaise me and joy have the same servers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for the love of god, BECAUSE! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i understand the bandwidth limit exceeded message.. i was just wondering if it was due to a ddos attack, for example, or just overpopularity.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's not go int othe overpupularity thing - that just leads to xltronic vs watmm conflict! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... but we all know which site is better! *no offense mr. joyrex... just nah.. not me style!* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is watmm? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We went offline because: a) the site has CONTENT now, and people are downloading it b) my bandwidth limit was 25GB, and we were getting an average of 1700+ hits per day. I am moving to a new host, but regardless the site will be back up June 1st (the start of a new billing cycle). The new host has double the space, quadruple the bandwidth, and is faster ping-wise than the old host, for only a bit more than what I was paying previously. AND, that will lead to new features on the site for the budding electronic musicians who visit the EKT forums. Quoth: Yes, I do know which site is better! ;) If you need to contact me, use joyrex@ev1.net |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but seriously.. i see joy signed in. maybe he can hop on here and give a little statement.. let everyone know whats up. whaddaya say rexers? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ya i was gonna say it'll be back up june 1st |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice one Joy.......BRING BACK AOTM!!! My life will be complete if I ever got on that shiz *sigh* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AOTM is coming back... I've already selected the first artist (you're on me list OD... if I ever get to hear yer tracks properly), and the good news is I'm getting the new server set up now, so hopefully by June 1st you'll be accessing watmm from the new server. and I'm getting cable modem access on Saturday! woo hoo (watch out slsk!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's true, for all who hate on WATMM, which site has content? WATMM, though incomplete.. so that definitely explains the bandwidth problem, as this message board is certainly better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the discography online yet? : ) Quoth > yeeaaah riiight, compare a site which doesn't exist and is 10+ months late to one who is offline... j/k ; ) i won't say anything until xltronic AND watmm are both complete and online. (and frankly i'd like WATMM to be better than Xltronic, for some reason... though it will probably be a matter of taste... ^^) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
xltronic seems more like the place to hang out and WATMM the place to get info and media (ie: pictures, audio, video). sorry xlt crew but you haven't done anything in the last 12 months to show us otherwise, although hosting all the fan made compilations ("vibes") is really kind of you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're right on this titsworth... we worked on xltronic the last 12 months instead of showing you ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well let's hope it can live up to all the expectations! |
||||||||

Uzim: yes, the Aphex discography is beginning to take shape (a few albums, singles, remixes and compilations are up) - I spent the the last few weeks coding and planning out the discography backend, so now that's done, the other artist discogs will go up quickly. I'm re-scanning everything nice and large so all the material will be new stuff, not the same old stuff you've seen elsewhere before. As for who's better... I think once both sites are up, they will compliment each other rather than specifically compete - xlt is taking a broader approach to it's artists where I'm doing a more distilled and focused approach. I would like to see a bit of XLT though (as everone else would I reckon) - I mean, SOMETHING has to be complete by now, right guys? Give us a sneak peek (even if it's just screen shots). Give them something back for their supreme patience! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am sure xlt will be the fucking bomb when it is done watmm is showing that it will be great too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess both sites will be good. Every site will probably better at one specific point of interest, they can easily complement each other. Some of the contents will be better on xlt, some will be better on watmm. Let's be glad for that, there will be 2 cool sites... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and even a 3rd :) vsnares.com rocks, even more, SOON ==) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like that perspective. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're right, both sites will complement each other well because of the reasons you stated. still, i think you should start covering other IDM artists soon, even if you don't want to give them dedicated sections. no reason not to report news on other artists we're all fans of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i believe he has from time to time. i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very rarely.. i sent him some stuff about amon tobin a few months back and he didn't use it.. and he's been aware of other stuff w/ luke vibert, mu-ziq.. and of course he could've linked my essay on electronic music (that i posted about on WATMM.. first and only posts since i try to limit myself to certain forums) because it's pretty interesting and has exclusive comments from mark bell (LFO) about warp and electronic music in general.. but again, it's just afx, boc, ae, sqp.. not that they're not great! i'm just saying there's room and reason to expand :) |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|

Lets all hold hands and brace for impact. We're gonna be nuked and there's nothing we can do about it. Nuked with CONTENT. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

joyrex and xlt crew, you guys can save yourself time redong scans and just get them off me. slsk user: aquagak i have broadband now so the downloadtime will be between 20kbs-30kbs it took a whole week to do them and everything from the cd face to the inside covers can be viewed at 1000x960 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well, Vibert is next on my list - I want to get these artists complete first though before I add any more. Plus, some of my future focus will be the Expert Knob Twidders and that aspect of the site. Like I said before, I'm doing a more focused, distilled view of the artists, whereas XLT seems to go for the broader approach - it would be silly for me to add someone like say Brothomstates (which I love), since he only has a few releases out. That's one of the reasons I haven't added Snares to my list (not that he doesn't have many releases out, quite the contrary :) |
||||||||

|
Thank you Mr. Gak... I might just take you up on that, since I get my cable modem tomorrow - yipee! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yay i got mine yesterday if you want to know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Awesome Joyrex. good point aswell, can we atleast have a screenshot of xltronic? That'd be awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A good thing for Phobia TuneMX Sine707 and the rest would be to syncronize their upcomming summer vacations (if they got any?) so they could fully concentrate and work on xltronic together. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no holidays allowed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, working on a website is my idea of a summer vacation. sweet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just cause we've foolishly devoted our lives to this site doesn't mean they have to :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course there are "something". i'm pretty sure xltronic has more contents than watmm. but don't take my words on it. i'll encourage all people who has seen some of the xltronic discography to put their thoughts here (just describe it briefly and tell them about your first impression; nacmat, woofer, xltronic crew....). screenshots will soon be available. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know what? screw both your sites. mine is the best. its dedicated to one artist! AND I have content on mine! HAH! Take that you fueding fools! er... *awaits perm ban* |
