will the new kiosk have hot dogs

Yes. Russell Haswell will be serving them. Actual family's dogs that he stole, killed and threw on a fire.

possibility to changes votes choice along the way is weird to me.

it's like if you see "this one" gonna take it up, so we would change the vote from "my favorite" to "second choice just  to avoid another one",

I mean it could be endless....    but i don't know.... whatever,   nevermind.   💜   peace

..... edit  : keyosc is on its way to the top, so,  all good    :happy:

Most IDM nomination for 2025 is naming the new forum after an autechre meme that broke the 4th wall and ended up becoming a bonus track on their next album

Kiosk unfortunately reminds me of the mall.

WCBYD is definitely the most IDM.

That's a terrible meme.

백호야~~~항상에 사랑할거예요.나의 아들.

 

Shout outs to the saracens, musulmen and celestials.

Sounds like a pretty good AI prompt :dadjoke:

The total votes tabulated are 216. 
The most users ever online was about 6 days ago at 260. Currently there are 232 users online. 
If the 40-50 would-be-voters who are logging on and reading everything that’s going on would vote, maybe we wouldn’t end up with a repeat of the last presidential election where the wrong course of history was chosen by voter apathy (although, I imagine the turnout percentage is significantly greater here).

Actually this feature has always had a glitch. Over the years, it periodically updates every few weeks with whatever number was highest during that period. Numbers in the 300s used to be more common. Take it with a grain of salt.

Separate unrelated comment: 

How about we ban twitter links on the new site?

I don't get why people are saying keyosc is good

Many people have explained why they think it's good in the other threads

I guess it got covered somewhere else? Imagine WATMM as the bookcase/library in Interstellar. Murph represents the real artists that we obsess over and we're Matthew McConaughey scrambling through the stacks. There have been a couple of notable times that we so psychotically shoved books and exerted energy that we were able to effect a quantum change in the artist chamber. The biggest was obviously the Caustic Window campaign. The other was Autechre naming the Japanese bonus track for Exai "keyosc" based on our rabid shitposting. It's about as integral to WATMM lore as it gets but if one wasn't there, it probably seems absurd. If you see anything like "Bullwallet", "KIOSK", etc, it was from the 2011-2013 time period that can best be described as online bullying for a new Ae album. I forgot how fun that was until now.

when through bitter life experience and bad trips you gradually develop a scaly crust of cynicism, a hair-trigger of insanity and paranoia, a burden of crushed dreams - then and only then, will you be a true wattmer.

I don’t get it either. But I liked gnarly’s designs. If the design is good, I can live with it.
 

Otherwise it’s just a dank meme from a tiny niche, to me. Which is kinda in the spirit of autechre naming tracks and albums. That is the part I do get. But using it as a forum name, dunno. Might as well call it the (un)tilted.pls forum.
 

Not a fan of the dankness though. That’s just bad taste. Please don’t turn the next watmm into a stereotypical US mall. I’d run to reddit if the place turns into a prefabricated danky US mall Invision Community forum. Which is currently already a thing, because I haven’t extended my watmm membership. And now the forum has turned into a storm of google ads. X(

keyosc isn't a dank meme, it's just a meme.

I get the reference guys! And if that is what the WATMM massive want then I'll concede. I do think it might hinder potential newcomers a bit because how would they find out about this being an electronic music subforum.

Naming the new place round 2?! Has this poll been a scam all along? Scandalous.

Some songs I made with my fingers and electronics. In the process of making some more. Hopefully.

For the record, even as a staunch aenthusiast, wcbyd wins my #1 vote, with keyosc second. I guess when we get to round 12 of voting and it's limited to one choice that's where we might see an overall shift.
