if we refused to remove it, would he come on here and troll?

 

because that would be fucking amazing.

nah. if his trolling is as original and creative as his music, then we are only talking like troon level trolling.

someone just informed me via watmm , joyrex(?) was planning to create a vs subforum, - don’t do that! i will sue you and then force you to listen to a load more of my music on a boxset or something at some point, best quality. If you remove the subforum prior to this it will scupper any plans. Wot say thee?

 

Cheers

Best regards

Aaron

lol that'd really fuck him up. when he used to post here him and od had so many arguments, mostly about fl studio. i think that might have been what drove him away from watmm?

he used to post here >? .. must've been on one of my sabbaticals.

post the email

Snares

joyrex is trollin

maybe he would like it better if there were threads about cats, cdj-setups and renoise tricks?

I'm bad at reading.

he still does post a little bit.

I somewhat understand Vsnares position on this. WATMM has the reputation of being the internet cesspool of obsessive IDM fanboys and it's pretty much generally frowned upon among certain circles.

LOL, what a dick

Hi Aaron.

wait a second. joy rex hates snares, so why doesn't he keep the forum out of spite? better yet, why doesn't he send him an email calling my so-called life "quite good"?

For the record, I don't hate *Snares*, I dislike his music. For me, they are two separate entities. For others, they are one and the same.

Hey, believe me or not - watch at all the fucks I don't give.

This was my whole point to begin with (being against having a Snares forum), and perhaps Mr. Funk has a point - the hate that permeates this place from time to time can be off-putting to people who put themselves into their art - whether it be music, drawing, etc. Some people can express their opinions in an intelligent, thoughtful manner, and others are incapable of doing so.

Aaron said that around 8 or so years ago, he had found WATMM and thought it would be a great place to discuss electronic music, but the amount of hate here drove him away (side note: I find it oddly ironic that an artist who makes brutal (at times), ear-piercing music that would probably get Buddist monks riled up and want to throw their prayer beads and piss on the prayer wheels from the tops of the pagodas would be put off by any hate on an internet forum). I can understand this, and that's the main reason I removed the forum - if people can't moderate their petty feelings to discuss the merits of an artists' music (especially one so polarizing as Snares' music seems to be on here), then it's best not to have a dedicated place to do so.

The email exchange I had with him was very mature, refreshing, and has given me a bit of food for thought (on what WATMM has become, for better or worse, as well as Snares' music), and has opened my eyes a bit on this little corner of the internet so many of us frequent.

And I don't think I'm going to post the emails, as Aaron didn't ask that I don't do so, but I think I've summed it up sufficiently.

No really, fuckin lol, poor VS fans who go all excited. I totally understand that he may not want to be associated with a forum that has BOC fans and OMG-NeW AFX!!!! / What astro signs are AE ???? threads.

remove it. lawsuits are expensive.

and if the negativity posted in the VS Hate thread contributed to his demand, then I'm glad I could help.

Where are the threads which were in the subforum?
