Thankfully, that tag only appears 4 times.

I think autechre fans are just more capable of understanding the tag system vs aphex fans

 Or autechre fans are more obsessed with writing the band's name wherever they can, like infront of topics in a subforum already dedicated to the band, check the topic headings on the first page for either group to further confirm my point.

Well, they only edged out Aphex fans by 30 tags, so not that much more obsessed

 Well, that might be fun and games and all, but how many more aphex related topics are there on watmm as compared to autechre ? I would presume far more, therefore your point doesn't stand.

Sean probably has mod privileges and edits all the Autechre threads with the appropriate tags

 lol, and this whole situation will be known as autaghre gate.

 Maybe the lads will start wearing  au TAG Heuer polos instead of north losing face jackets.

It probably maybe helps that Autechre have been on tour more, so more topics have been created about those recently? I presume with the AFX world tour imminent he may make a comeback.

 We have already established that there are far more aphex threads and posts in his subforum than there are autechre threads and posts, and that the reason why there were more autechre tags was because autechre fans for whatever reason, prefer to use the tags. Therefore, more aphex activity will not corresponding result in more 'aphex' tags relative to 'autechre' tags in front of threads. We can pretty well know this as both subforums have been around for so long that any variability due to more or less artist activity will have been ironed out and so no longer effect the result that we've ended up with. Of course now that this discrepancy has been pointed out, perhaps aphex twin thread posters will start using tags and this will effect the overall outcome when we convene at the end of next year for the great tag assessment council. You're welcome.

Quality topics in the aphex sub:

'an open letter to richard'

'am I the only one who likes SAW II???'

'post pictures where richard is looking pensive'

lol

Everyone knows Flashbulb would get far more tags than anyone else, if he was allowed his own subforum

I would imagine after an Aphex AMA the tagging would increase quite a bit...

I think we've heard quite enough about chemtrails and reptiluminati from young master richard
