Rubin Farr Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I realize we passed that point in November, (well technically 9 years and counting but lets just pretend) so congrats to Joyrex for the consistent work, I almost never get a dropped connection. Here's to another 10!

I do feel that syro and the aaa and other recent stuff like online music publications constantly using watmm as an idm news source (edm news source depending on the dumb site) has bumped up the sites status quo a bit (largely thanks to joyrexs work of course of course!!). the job interviewer no doubt knows which watmmer is you now you've made the connection. unless you outright told them "I am Braintree." If I was having a job interview and they started asking "you post on watmm?? which watmmer are you??" i'd have to stop and think for a bit "if I was employing a watmmer who would I want to employ??". Pretending to be joyrex would be pretty sweet. "I run the place."

No - at the time, we were on a dodgy budget hosting company, who one day closed up shop, and I wasn't as fastidious with my backups as I am nowadays - it was easier to start fresh, although painful to lose 4+ years of posts and valuable info.

autopilot Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah scary to think I've been here on & off for like 12-13 years. Without that '05 crash I'd probably have about 10k more posts. I went in back in the day. Many years and many lols, and while there might not be threads of nice shemale pics anymore this place is still ok in my book. @Braintree ~~ How was "WATMM" said aloud? Did you & the potential employer say say "part of the We Are The Music Makers forum" or did you say "a WATTUMMER"?
