    Yeah but it’s members only right?

    Yeah but what cd was a private tracker too right?

    I’m just too old and lazy and don’t care enough about that stuff anymore to go through a whole interview process and shit.

    Well, considering you were a what cd user, I think you can easily clear that, the wait for the interview is ridiculously annoying though. I had to wait for weeks for that.

    Do they have PBTHAL vinyl rips?

    I don’t know, have to check. I am just tired of the grind these days and just visit it when my friend asks for an album’s flac, or if I get freeleech tokens.

      Yeah but I would need to “prove” I was a member, and it’s not like I still have any kind of evidence. In fact, I got super lucky to get into what in the first place as I just happened to have a screenshot of my OiNK title bar/ratio because I was messing with different CSS themes months/years prior. So when OiNK died, I was able to get into what pretty easily by showing that screenshot.

      I have no such thing for what.

        Idt you need to prove that unless they ask you specifically or you say it by yourself.

        They don’t care what private trackers you are/were in as long as you pass the interview.

          Right. I was able to skip the interview process for What because I was a member of OiNK and got lucky enough to find someone on reddit to send me an invite. The whole idea of interviewing to join a torrent site rubs me the wrong way and as I said above, I don’t really care about that stuff enough anymore to go through the hassle.

            Yeah, unless Spotify, Deezer and similar services die or become too greedy you really don’t have a reason to come back to music trackers again.

              Yeah. I’ve still got my massive music collection from those private trackers backed up on a couple external drives, so I already have most of what I want/need stored in a couple different locations. And you can find 320kbps rips of stuff on public trackers these days. Might not has the same pedigree as someone on a private tracker using EAC and making sure everything runs perfectly, but it’s good enough for me.

                Yeah, plus every indie band/artist these days have their own bandcamp page. There’s always flac available on public trackers for mainstream artist/band. You might not be missing anything.
