"Flooding the MB" has a slightly different meaning over there i.e. 4 posts a day....:)..

The colors on the current WATMM board are horrendous, they actually make me NOT want to read it. But I know new skins are coming... personally, I really liked the Joyrex.com tan/yellow/peach/whateveritwas color.

I don't give a contaminated pile of poop what color a site is fashioned with. For me it's about the info.

To me, watmm.com is rather poorly designed. Well, I like how's the menu organized; but
- the page is very overflooded with shit - those news on the right just repeat what's said in the middle newsblock
- backgrounds sometimes are NASTY - the text comes unreadable on RED background.
Overall: no fucking usability, an not enough classy to forgive it. And YES, it loads veeeeeeeery long.

I think WATMM is a great site. The color scheme on most site can usual be better, but most people couldn't construct a site of that caliber without some small flaws.

DJ Buzz - the intended purpose of the right 'teasers' is so you don't have to scroll down to read all the news for your favourite artist(s), AND be able to jump to that section if you wish.
I don't recall having any 'red' backgrounds...there's one BoC one that is orangish, but the text is screened against that. Sorry you don't like it - it's a work in progress though :)
I appreciate all the kind words, and I really didn't want this thread to turn into a analysis of watmm (especially on Phob's MB) as I really don't think it's the proper place for it. I do appreciate the input though, and I usually listen to advice/criticism carefully.
Jand: Not ALL the info appears here first - but true, a lot does - funny, because I try to post something as soon as I hear about it, and then I come here and it's here as well :)
One major difference is I POST the news, versus users having to dig for it in the forums - hopefully Phob's got some content managers with time on their hands to post news on a regular basis...that was always one complaint I had about .nu and when I launched joyrex.com, I made sure news was fresh and up-to-date, no matter how trivial it may seem.
Ok, enough about watmm...let's move on! :)

I think it isn't getting updated very much right now due to the work on xltronic. Plus, why post news everyone already knows?

i signed up yesterday to check things out!
i visited joyrex.com dec/jan and found it to be kinda difficult to navigate so i never signed up. i'll check things out more as i have time. prolly won't be a regular over there cos i don't have the time. the whole BoC Video contest sounds intriguing, i'll be looking forward to that! =0)
keep up the good work joyrex!

Not everyone knows everything...
.nu has never been regularly updated with news...Phob just didn't have the time or inclination to do so I guess.

slight digression:
Did anyone else get this email from LO Recordings...I bought a sampler CD from em after someone here recommended it (jonesy) and then applied for the free CD mentioned in the case....
but a few weeks later this came...
"1. Apology
For all of you who have replied to our Lo and Behold CD offer and have not received a Cd, our apologies and here's why:
Foolishly we set up the offer without provision for all the addresses going into a database, so we ended up with over a thousand emailed addresses that we were going to have to hand write onto envelopes. We made a start but realised it was madness in its purest form to continue.
We also realised that a lot of the emails had come from people who had never even bought the Lo and Behold Cd but had come via a Squarepusher site - Get Exclusive Squarepusher Tracks FREE! Posted by Joyrex on Tuesday, June 25 2002 Ultraviolence has found that Lo Recordings is offering a sampler CD called Lo ... watmm.com/ - 14k -.
So what we need for you to do now is ....reply to...xxxxxxx"...
So I guess you need to be careful what news get posted...this was talked about here and how the offer only applied if you bought the first LO Sampler CD...
Did they get in contact with you about this, Joy?...

yes, they did, and I posted a retraction/explanation about it shortly thereafter - and your pathetic attempt to embarrass me is just that - pathetic. I really thought you were above such things :)
This was due to a misunderstanding from the person who directed me to the Lo Recordings site - I checked out the site, and it wasn't obvious to me that you had to own the previous sampler CD. Lo was really nice about it, and asked me to post a correction, which I did promptly.
