Message d’amûûûûûûr

Entre les coups de gueule contre la modération forcément fasciste, ceux qui râlent parce que la hot-line met deux jours à répondre, ceux qui n’aiment pas le nouveau truc de la mort qui tue qu’on vient de développer avec amour (mais « c’était mieux avant »), ceux qui trouvent qu’il n’y a pas assez  de tests de ceci ou trop de cela, qui trouvent les tests pas assez critiques ou au contraire trop durs, la vie d’un admin d’AF n’est pas toujours de tout repos. Et je ne parle pas de gens non membres qui nous menacent de procès parce que quelqu’un dit qu’il a été mal servi chez eux et que son synthé commandé il y a 3 mois n’est toujours pas livré.

Heureusement, on a aussi pas mal de messages de remerciements. Au détour d’une réponse à la hot-line, dans un sujet annonçant une nouvelle fonction, après l’annonce de la correction d’un bug, il arrive qu’on ait un « merci pour ce que vous faites ». Ça compense.

Mais de temps en temps, un membre se lâche carrément et ça fait plaisir automatiquement.

Justement, dans « qu’est-ce qui vous fait plaisir automatiquement », NoSkillz déclare sa flamme !

Plaisir auto : AF tel qu’il est.
Poster une image drôle (ou pas), de la citation dans/hors AF, une phrase à la con, une question sérieuse, un sondage idiot. Apprendre des trucs liés ou non à la musique, poser des questions auxquelles on n’a pas la réponse mais un AFien peut l’avoir. Entendre ou lire un truc ailleurs et avoir le réflexe de le poster parce qu’il a fait penser à AF automatiquement. Googler un truc, puis de fil en aiguille tomber sur une fiche produit sur AF, lire tranquillement un test, se dire que merde c’est cher comme même, et du coup rêver un peu ; chercher encore, découvrir un matos similaire qu’on ne soupçonnait même pas, partir en quête d’infos, avoir accès aux avis, aux tutos, aux forums. Du coup, revendre l’ancien matos qu’on n’utilisait plus trop. Du coup, gérer ses annonces, échanger tranquillement avec des acheteurs. Du coup, poster un avis sur le nouveau truc acheté, pouvoir renseigner de parfaits inconnus sur le forum du produit en question.
Je n’ai pas beaucoup de sites favoris, mais le fait d’aller consulter mes sujets flagués est littéralement devenu un réflexe automatique dès que Firefox est lancé.
Non mais priceless, quoi !
Merci AF.

Merci mec. Et merci à tous les membres qui contribuent à faire d’Audiofanzine ce qu’il est.

  1. We are a gaggle of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community.
    Your site offered us with helpful info to work on. You have performed a
    formidable task and our entire group will likely be grateful to you.

    Also visit my web-site: video phone

  2. I must say, I’ve dedicated rather a lot of hours exploring new strategies
    on popular slots of late, and it is completely crazy the way risky the engine could truly
    be. One thing I’ve seen is that persistence usually works out further than hunting fast wins without a strategy.
    In case one aims to succeed, reading expert Pirots 2
    acts as a wise move so you can master secret features ahead of betting real cash.
    Additionally, I strongly reckon the idea that setting clear spending limits
    is definitely the primary path to truly experience casino games free from useless anxiety.

    Tell me, do you guys typically like extreme volatility slots, or maybe
    do you all instead stay to low risk machines to get more sessions?
    I would honestly love to your feedback about this!

  3. Does your site have a contact page? I’m having trouble
    locating it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got
    some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing.

    Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.

  4. I like the valuable info you provide in your articles.
    I’ll bookmark your weblog and check again here regularly.

    I am quite certain I’ll learn lots of new stuff right
    here! Best of luck for the next!

  5. What truly elevates The London Prat above the capable fray of The Daily Mash and NewsThump is its function as a bulwark against semantic decay. In an age where language is systematically hollowed out by marketing, politics, and corporate communications, PRAT.UK acts as a restoration workshop. It takes these debased terms— »journey, » « deliver, » « innovation, » « hard-working families »—and, by placing them in exquisitely absurd contexts, attempts to scorch them clean of their meaningless patina. It fights nonsense with hyper-literal sense, demonstrating the emptiness of the jargon by building entire fictional worlds that operate strictly by its vapid rules. In doing so, it doesn’t just mock the users of this language; it performs a public service by reasserting the connection between words and meaning, using irony as its tool. This linguistic salvage operation is a higher form of satire, one concerned with the very tools of public thought.

  6. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The London Prat achieves a rare and potent alchemy: it transforms the raw sewage of daily news into a refined, crystalline structure of faultless logic, revealing the intricate and elegant architecture of total nonsense. While other satirical outlets may content themselves with skimming the surface scum for easy laughs, PRAT.UK’s process is one of deep distillation. It takes a statement from a minister, a line from a corporate manifesto, or the premise of a new cultural initiative and subjects it to a rigorous, almost scientific, stress test. Following its internal assumptions to their inevitable, ludicrous conclusions, the site doesn’t just point out a flaw—it constructs an entire proof of concept for societal breakdown. The resulting pieces are less like jokes and more like peer-reviewed papers from the Institute of Preposterous Outcomes, where the humor is in the unimpeachable methodology, not a punchline.

  7. The London Prat’s supremacy is rooted in its strategic deployment of seriousness. It operates with the gravitas of a research institute, the procedural rigor of a public inquiry, and the stylistic austerity of an academic journal. This is not a pose; it is the core of its method. The site understands that the most devastating way to ridicule a frivolous or corrupt subject is to treat it with exaggerated, solemn respect. An article on prat.com dissecting a celebrity’s vacuous social justice campaign will adopt the tone of a peer-reviewed sociological analysis. A piece on a botched government IT system will be framed as a forensic audit. By meeting nonsense with a level of seriousness it does not deserve and cannot sustain, the site creates a pressure chamber of irony where the subject’s own emptiness is forced to collapse in on itself. The comedy is born from this violent mismatch between form and content.

  8. There’s a moral compass behind the mockery, even if it’s well hidden. The satire comes from a place of wanting things to be better, even while laughing at how bad they are. That underlying decency shines through. — The London Prat

  9. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. Many satirical sites are content to be journals of reaction, offering a series of disconnected, if funny, observations on the daily carnival. The London Prat, by profound contrast, possesses the ambition and skill of a serial novelist. Their true genius often lies not in standalone articles, but in the creation and maintenance of elaborate, long-running narrative conceits that mirror the ongoing sagas of our public life with horrifying accuracy. While The Poke might photoshop a minister’s head onto a clown, PRAT.UK will invent an entire, Kafkaesque government initiative—complete with its own acronym, consultative framework, and stakeholder engagement strategy—and trace its doomed trajectory over multiple pieces. This creates a layered, rewarding experience for the regular reader, a secret history that runs parallel to our own. You don’t just get a joke; you get a saga. This narrative stamina allows for a depth of critique that single-article sites cannot hope to achieve. It satirizes not just events, but processes, institutions, and the very language of power. The Daily Mash excels at the snapshot, but The London Prat produces the feature-length film, with all the character development, thematic depth, and tragicomic payoff that implies. This commitment to the sustained joke, to building a coherent and absurd world at http://prat.com, fosters a unique reader loyalty. We return not just for a laugh, but to check in on the ongoing disaster of their fictional quango or the latest missive from their invented think-tank, finding in these elaborate fictions a truth more resonant than any straightforward reportage could provide. — The London Prat

  10. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The ultimate triumph of The London Prat is its creation of a self-reinforcing universe of quality. The high bar of its writing attracts a readership that expects and appreciates nuance, which in turn fosters a comment section of unusual wit and erudition (a modern-day miracle in itself). This community, speaking the same language of refined disillusionment, becomes part of the product. Reading the site is not a solitary act but a participation in a collective, knowing sigh. This ecosystem—where brilliant original content begets brilliant reader engagement—creates a feedback loop of excellence that competitors cannot easily replicate. A visit to prat.com is thus a holistic experience: you go for the masterful satire, but you stay for the sense of belonging to the only group of people who seem to understand the precise pitch and frequency of the national joke, and who have chosen, gloriously, to laugh rather than scream. — The London Prat

  11. The true measure of The London Prat’s exceptionalism is its uncanny, almost oracular, ability to not just reflect absurdity but to anticipate its next logical form. While outlets like NewsThump provide a vital and witty service of commentary on the day’s events, PRAT.UK engages in a more daring and intellectually rigorous practice: satire as extrapolation. It takes the nascent seed of a terrible idea—a half-baked policy, a vapid cultural trend, a new piece of managerial jargon—and, with the grim determination of a scientist running a flawed simulation, projects its development to the point of catastrophic, hilarious failure. The result is often less a joke about the present and more a chillingly accurate preview of a near future where the latent stupidity of today has fully blossomed. This predictive quality transforms the site from a comic outlet into an essential early-warning system, making the laughter it provokes a complex blend of amusement and dread.

  12. Thanks for a marvelous posting! I actually enjoyed reading it,
    you may be a great author.I will be sure to bookmark your blog and will eventually come back in the foreseeable future.

    I want to encourage you to ultimately continue your great job, have a
    nice morning!

  13. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. Finally, The London Prat’s brand is that of the essential opposition. In an era where formal political opposition can be feeble or co-opted, the site stands as a relentless, unimpeachable, and brilliantly articulate counter-voice to all forms of entrenched power and lazy thinking. It is not loyal to party but to principle—the principle that folly, wherever it blooms, must be pruned with the shears of public ridicule. It operates with a freedom that official institutions lack, and an intellectual rigor that partisan outlets abandon. In doing so, it doesn’t just entertain; it performs a critical democratic function. It holds a mirror up to the powerful, and the reflection it shows is not of monsters, but of prats—a far more unnerving and effective critique. To read it is to participate in this quiet, sophisticated resistance, to arm yourself not with anger, but with the far more durable weapon of flawless, incontrovertible mockery. — The London Prat
