encey Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Beyond simply posting and replying to threads, WATMM life consists in a set of more or less standard customs, habits, rituals and activities of a shared meaning that define this sick little world on the internets. Here is my start of a list of standard actions for WATMM living that counts me in as a member of the community. I am curious what is on your list. contributing to a rolling lol mocking delet..-speak posting NSFW content (spoiler tags & label or not) writing a 'last post' leaving and then returning to the forum getting embroiled in a flame war with someone / holding a grudge against a user crushing on a user blocking a user being called out for posting something that is jazzband telling a nub to read the rules standard usage of 'd00dz,' 'teh,' 'qtf,' 'avator' or other like argot seizing on every opportunity to quote "The Big Lebowski" being jealous of art posted to teh 'post your latest artwork' thread consistently hating on a chosen WATMM featured artist or Venetian Snares having your thread moved to the Nonsense/Crap Trashcan having something posted to WATMM incite a furious masturbation session championing a new forum meme increased appreciation for burgers failing to hold a candle to other users' old-skool music, film or video game knowledge having your emotions significantly affected by a post cursing the 'no dynamic img tags' rule spending at least 25 minutes straight desperately hitting refresh when WATMM is down posting on BeakDotCom Forum afterward using certain threads as a chance to improve your animated gif-making skills hoping to impress people in the 'POST YOUR MOST RECENT PIC' thread having strong feelings about new members and banned members participating in a WATMM-curated compilation of tracks wanting essines sending and receiving a Secret Santa gift vainly designing WATMM t-shirt logos getting attached to a particular smiley posting a durnck thread you regret and try to delete later dominating a game of WATMM iSketch drawing a HUGE cock in WATMM iSketch talking to yourself for at least 10 minutes in an empty WATMM chat forum trying and failing to put a moderator on ignore meeting people from the forum in r/l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Trying to find watmm during watmm's downtime only to find it to be gone, then reading a bit about watmm on That Other Site™ and then curling up into fetal position waiting for the sun to come up. PS I fell in love with an That Other Site™ electronic music African American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
