I liked the old mu forum, the new one was wank though |
||||||||
|

|
|
who cares. not me. xltronic will shut down soon enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i don't care either, it was useless. You could post music on it but no one will listen unless you tag it "breakcore" or unless people know you've released at least a fart on hardcopy. So, if you scrap posting music off the list i suppose there's room left for talking about venetian snares and upcoming releases?.... Fuck it, it's a useless forum, let them flush it down the toilet, I'll throw in the turd to follow it. |

I have a good story about that forum, but IM not gunna tell it |
||||||||
|

|
|
old style was a blast i rarely visit it, and even less posting on the new style. when it came back up under the new style, i immediately assumed it was an april fools joke. even the main-page for the label looks hideous. what was the reason for change? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it turned to absolute shite. good riddance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

big deal, there's a hundred other great labels. that forum died on its arse the day they decided to redesign it. i always suspected they changed it in order to deliberately kill it, or at least lose the idm geeks. [as far as I can tell it was actually shut down because the mother of dubstep mary anne hobbes (pbuh) was insulted on the forum and it was threatening mu's reputation in the Dubstep Arena] |

lol dubstep |

slowly people are realizing that the all singing all dancing websites are self-obsessed tedium and the absolute basic websites are actually the best for music, discogs is all we need |

I thought the site update/overhaul that looked like shit was to make it easier for Mike P to update the content quicker. I liked the old forum...then you got a ton of shit heads like that 'will' guy spamming every 4 seconds with his shit music to stupid posts...plus it was just not nice on the eyes to look for posts. |

it was pretty cool that mu artists posted there though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean the part i found most frustrating about it was that any time anybody would be critical of any planet mu artist the posts would dissapear. so a lot of threads were pretty much unreadable unless you read them from the very beginning and got to see the initial critical posts. When you run a label and a forum on your website you are going to run the risk of people saying things badly about your labels and your label's artists. If they/he weren't willing to deal with that then i personally think its better idea to just close the forum. |

"[as far as I can tell it was actually shut down because the mother of dubstep mary anne hobbes (pbuh) was insulted on the forum and it was threatening mu's reputation in the Dubstep Arena] " it would be great to see evidence of that. and frankly it doesn't surprise me there are so many egos and silly politics in electronic music these days anybody take screenshots or cache the page? |

what am I going to do without my daily musings from peoplepoo?!!? |

Can't forget that awesome post by Aphex there, though |

yes that post was hilarious it also reminded me of the musings of an insane man John lily esque |

WATMM has finally closed its doors tonight too :( |

^^^ er, has it? tried to log in, but was greeted with an "Internal Server Error"... WATMM can't close! |

so did anybody take a screen shot of the planet mu forum and what negative comments might have caused its closure? i would very much like to see the evidence |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

no screenshots, sorry. but people were basically saying "why is mary anne hobbes listed as the artist for this new compilation? she hasn't written a note in her life. what a poser", and someone else was saying (i think) that she looks fat on the album cover, which is obviously not true. then mary anne - or someone pretending to be her, but i guess not - turned up and bawled a bit and stomped her feet. and then someone pretended to be tim westwood. the next morning it was gone the forum was out of control from trolling by 12y.o. american kids with adhd, constant spam of shitty myspace dubstep mixes and general turgid wank anyway. ! LOL ! |

keeping the world of fans, critics, zines etc. somewhat separate from the actual operation seems like the smarter move to me. let the fans have their own nook where they can say what they want and the label or artist can manage their pr. i don't know if anyone is familiar with litany.net, a skinny puppy & related mb. Well the band (to be polite) posts on there a lot and is real involved in what is going on and they have all kinds of problems like that with posts getting deleted, people getting banned for being critical etc. |

This the great thing about the net. You can sometimes have a conversation with your music heros. Except aphex. |

interesting, ive never been to that forum but i can easily see that happening. they lost a lot of fans with the Process (not including myself) and got a whole new fan base with their 2 newest albums and again lost a whole slew of older fans again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

and then someone pretended to be tim westwood. It happens to all messageboards eventually, it's the The Westwood Clause. I wonder if we can get him, or Mary Anne Hobbes to step in and close XLTronic, maybe by repeatedly making reference to her breathily entoning "Simmm, with three M's. I like that, ambitious" |

i'd love to go as far as to call her a fatty, just to get a response. perhaps i should mail her. |

I can see why, not all but some were completely ungrateful for what mike was doing. For a while I remember some were like "MY FREE SPEECH YOU CAN'T CENSOR ME AHHHHH" after they would completely bash a release that wasn't out yet that they downloaded. Or personally attack that artist, thinking that no one should fight back. Kind of like how they yell at their mothers to bring them sandwiches and koolaid while they flame someone about a music genre like ACID that they have no idea about in the first place because they are 19 and were watching power rangers and rug rats in the US and not going to crazy underground raves and festivals over seas. |

people turn into egoistic cunts when it comes to music, im having the same problems (yes, it's that bad) with one of my roommates |

Ego's in general are hard to deal with. Political, musical, whatever, it's just really hard to deal with people sometimes. Unless you completely side with what they are saying it's an effort that's almost not worth spending unless there is some ultimate pay of to it, like arguing for your money back at a store or something like that. The thing that sucked with muboard was that you had a lot of people who felt real safe behind the monitor whom at a distance were very good at populating the board with hate,slander,bullshit but in person would probably not be able to speak up. So you had people who in real life are generally social and use the internet as an extension of that (and not a replacement) having to deal with these cunts who ruin the fun for everyone else. It's so easy to be a prick on the internet. It's aggravating to have to witness it. It's creatively bankrupt and takes something that could be fun and enjoyable and turns it into something not fun and not enjoyable. |

Isn't it rather simple? If you run a forum then you moderate it according to your own principles and rules. If people start being abusive, ban their IP - not difficult is it? I suspect the real reason the forum was closed has nothing to do with the general behaviour of specific users, rather that they simply couldn't be bothered to moderate it or their own products were being criticised. Paradinas is a control freak after all, I have personal experience of that. |

Easy pidg!! I did post a more considered reply after my initial can of worms post. I still think it was a valid question to ask but might have come across as critical. I think mike even gave an answer. But then danknugz kind of blew it by quoting MAH's post about never returning and going 'OH NO!!!' He got banned and then the forum closed. |

I remember a post from Vsnares on there once where he said I don't judge you for sucking a guys cock after its been in your ass so don't judge me to the resident gay guy on the MB. It was mean, but funny |

is that why you rarely review his labels output? |

Not sure where you get that from. We have the Barry Lynn - Balancing Lakes review online and Meat Beat Manifesto coming up. We also reviewed the Various Artists - 200 release last year, Doubtful Guest - Acid Sauna was reviewed for another publication. The crappy last U-Ziq album. Venetian Snares - Pink + Green. Quite like the label and reviews are usually fairly positive. |

I WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT INADVERTENTLY BROUGHT DOWN THE TOM GREEN.COM FORUM, AND I FEEL BAD AND MISS IT. STILL, I STAND BY MY ABUSIVE COMMENTS TOWARDS DICE CLAY AND NEIL HAMBURGER, AND WOULD STILL VERY MUCH LIKE TO SET FIRE TO THEIR TEETH AFTER I SMASH THEIR TALENTLESS BRAINS IN WITH A BETAMAX VIDEO PLAYER. I THOUGHT THE OBNOXIOUS ABUSE OF OBNOXIOUS ABUSIVE 'COMEDIANS' WOULD BE FUNNY IN AN IRONIC WAY, HOWEVER IT FELL ON DEAF EARS....INCLUDING TOM GREEN'S. :-/ |

use to come here a long time ago. even though the mu board had fucking idotic people that trolled the shit out of it, there were brilliant minds, not to mention the musicians that regularly put in their two cents. It was a source of information, music, laughter, a place to vent. etc. maybe that is why it got shut down. but to be honest it is devestating to me. I was use to posting and visiting on a regular basis. |
