WATMM is dying

Might still be called that, but basically it will be comprised (initially) of EKT tracks submitted by the community!

I'm still up for this, and no longer have other radio commitments so...

I like the change. Not sure it's better. It's an "airy" font. Takes more space. Which is fine in large spaces. But not in tiny spaces like below the avatar. Looking at Usagi's account info below his avatar, the text turns into spaghetti. So it's a difficult one, imo.

Well, tbh his "interests" is pretty long... should we be showing Interests on forum pages? Wouldn't that be a Members page kinda thing?

Yeah, went from Roboto to Open Sans - I wanted Maven Pro, but can't be arsed to put it into the stylesheets...

I think it's a bit more readable... does anyone else?

I like the font, noticed immediately when it changed. Easy to read & slick

Well, I like the new font better in the context of the wide areas. In the slimmer text boxes like the avatar section, I'd rather have a compact font. Regardless of whether people have loads of interests or not. This font needs to be able to breathe, to do its thing. Doesn't really happen in those restricted areas, imo.

The new font does have a huge impact on the look and feel. And in a lot of places for the better. It's your call though.

watmm will never be idm until the default font is alien green consolas on a black background

I haven't started posting MegaLOLs in the dank memes thread though (yet). that, if anything, is the final horseman of the apocalypse for this place, the downward arc of the executioner's axe. wonder if I can kidnap and enslave prdct for my lifetime free supply, that's all I need.

btw big lol @ anyone insisting this isn't about the music or that musical diversity is something to look at sideways in the land of pure idems. taking that position is so alien to me I don't even know how to begin having a conversation about it, nor do I really want to. like, why are you even here? what reason is there for this forum to thrive if not for those reasons? if I wanted to watch grown adults act out their highschool clique fantasies I'd... I dunno, come read WATMM once in a blue moon, I guess.

also any WATMM chat situation, whether it's some incarnation of CHATMM or Discord or whatever, eventually degenerates into a cancerous edgelord racist/sexist echo-chamber shithole, because IDM white boys can't help themselves when they think people aren't watching. prove me wrong.

Yeah we get it, you're over us. You learned to live, learned to laugh, learned to love.

prove him wrong!

please give us a month or so to try and inevitably fail at proving him wrong

let's stop with the dehumanizing language okay. insinuating that "white boys" (ok racist) are up to no good only when "people" aren't watching. so i guess whites aren't people anymore? for this equality and diversity thing to work correctly, sadly it has to go both ways and yes I know that is painful and shitty to hear for some folks.

........The biggest issue with even temporary subforums for artists or labels is just like our Featured Artists, they can go dormant from time to time or permanently, and then you're left with exactly what you're citing the existing subforums for. The Music Discussion subforum was meant to fill that need of discussing other artists/labels, so I'm not sure if you're suggesting compartmentalizing it further or what...

I'm surprised you say it's still very much a boy's club here - I haven't seen (nor have I had to issue any warnings regarding)

I’ve made my ideas pretty clear. Just keep on with the same old if you want to. I’ll be holding my breath waiting on the obviously needed discography section to pop up.

Also yes there are no tits anymore. 98% males, but it’s not a boy’s club!

Not sure you're being facetious, but in case you're not, have a read here: https://www.logicalfallacies.info/

NAH FUCK IT TURN IT OFF

Gotta say, the amount of security measures you have to go through to create an account seems extreme, was this site regularly attacked by Russian trolls in the past or something?

I taste salt.

if you're gonna shitpost at will about everything under the sun, then you ought to be able to get it back (except I wasn't even shitposting, I'm serious). like there's no hypocrisy at all in the idea of constantly talking shit about every race/gender/whatever under the sun in your special cubbyhole and then being bothered by the idea of someone calling you out for doing that and acting like you can't be touched. oh but you were being ironic about it, haha lmao.

this is definitely an IDM neckbeard white boy thing. I'm not actually intending this as an attack on any specific individual in this thread - Spiral and I have been cool typically - it's a collective problem with the shitty mentality engendered by anonymous homogenous online groups. you all collectively made chat/Discord an ugly place to be after a while, and it's like I was saying to the couple of WATMMers I still speak to irl, after Christchurch I suddenly, forcibly got a whole different perspective on this sort of thing and I have absolutely no time left for it.

WATMM is dying (HOT!)

I tried Discord once back in April. Stuck around for 4 days tops until I decided I had enough, basically because there were a sudden influx of alt-right goblins. Haven't used it since.

I'm starting to get bothered by being told how shitty everyone in chattm is by someone who isn't even in the room. please don't speak about what you don't know. 

edit - at least stop making blanket statements and speaking in absolutes. there are over 130 people in the server.

love seeing the orange "HOT" notification thing.

i never came across alt rite trolls in discord but i havent been there as much - mostly because work got more busy (i usually chatm at work) and I couldnt find the right link to the secret discord on my home laptop

No; I'm open to ideas, just need to make sure they in general will work - there's a reason WATMM's been going for 20 years and off-the-cuff decisions aren't it

By "boy's club" I was referring to the porn and objectification of women...

WATMM lives splatter!

No one cares about your protest!
