Rubin Farr Posted January 7, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I had a job interview yesterday where I used watmm as a positive talking point about being involved in an online community. The interviewer was aware of the forum and said we were all especially weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I had a job interview yesterday where I used watmm as a positive talking point about being involved in an online community. The interviewer was aware of the forum and said we were all especially weird. lol that is utterly hilarious. 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psn Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Didn't watmm fall over when Syro was first first announced back in August last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbot Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Didn't watmm fall over when Syro was first first announced back in August last year? I don't think it fell over since there was still connection but it was definitely sitting on the threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronchuseven Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Also, the crash 10 years ago wiped out the whole board - everyone had to re-register, which is why my reg. date is from Nov05. I can't remember my real reg. date.. probably Mar03. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm looking behind us now. Across the long count of time... down the long haul, into history back. I see the end what were the start. It's Pox-Eclipse! Full of pain! And out of it were birthed crackling dust and fearsome time. It were full-on winter, and Mr. Funk chasing them all....

I don't think it fell over since there was still connection but it was definitely sitting on the threshold. We've since upgraded the server's CPU and RAM, so any future big events should go smoothly. We'll know soon I hope... Also, the crash 10 years ago wiped out the whole board - everyone had to re-register, which is why my reg. date is from Nov05.

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 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"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
