Why was a Vsnares forum added to begin with?

It's knd of nice to know that both Snares and I both agree he shouldn't have a watmm subforum.

Low Res #7 was fucking wicked massive though.

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.

qft

plus he gets alot hate here

I don't understand the hate for this site. As far as electronic music message boards go, what else is there, seriously?

 

Xltronic? It sucks.

 

Twoism? They're all so damn sensitive. No fun or LOLs to be had whatsoever.

 

I think WATMM has a pretty good balance of serious discussion and humor that might offend people who you wouldn't posting here anyways. It's what you make of it. I'm actually more peeved by elitism and snobbery than supposedly "immature humor".

 

There's quite a few cool posters here.

there's definitely cool people here, but overall it's an embarrassing turd. people are aware of this.

WATMM rules

read the WATMM rules

see, that's what I mean

WATMM fulfils all of my IDM needs and as such I dont care if there are other forums out there that might be a bit cooler or have better smileys.

serious business

I have a lot of respect for Aaron, that is all. Also there is already a pretty active forum for Snares IIRC.

He's a complete cunt.

This is a true story: Aaron once came up to Squarepusher and tells that he really likes his music etc. Squarepusher replies "Oh yeah, you're Snares aren't you? Your music's pretty soulless". And then he walked off looking like he was about to cry!

yeah, that's real cuntish of mr funk.

He's not a bad guy.

This is an actual true story: When I was posting in the (now offline, I think) forum of a fansite of Snares, there was this guy (who's also on watmm) who started a thread, telling that his car was stolen, and he lost a whole lot of cd's that way, including his collection of Venetian Snares albums.

Aaron read the thread, and send the guy all of the Snares albums he lost, plus some extra compilation cd's and some t-shirts. All for free.

I wish I could find that thread again, it was pretty cool. It happened at least 5 years ago, so some details are vague. I'm sure that DNBJerk can confirm this story, if he's still browsing watmm and stumbles across this thread. I'm pretty sure he was that guy.

Time to close this thread, surely?

That just makes me want to give him a hug and tell Squarepusher to go push it up his pompous ass. To say that to someone when they've just complimented you is shit. Just for that, I'm going to not listen to any Squarepusher for a week or two.

I met Aaron once and he was very very nice.

lol how do you know this is true?

To be fair, I cant really think of a more soulless genre than breakcore. Its all about maths.
