I only got on it a few months ago but was killing it, that site ruled so much. I found so many classics i'd lost or thought I'd never find, big time
bummed right now.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

Never found an invite so never joined. I would assume that Demonoid is next.

i got an invite a few months back.
logged in, checked it out, but never uploaded or downloaded anything.
i just don't have the time to dedicate to it.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

in case anyone cares, the quote from this article:
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=071023114749.r2nlwb1...
| Quote: | | People were only invited to become members if they could prove they had music to offer and had to keep posting tracks to maintain their membership.
|
is a blatant fucking lie.

The whole article was a load of shit haha. Barely anyone donated to it, and the pre-release goldmine thing is a joke. So many FTP and other torrent
sites, usually public ones, had leaks well before Oink did simply because of their quality rules with webrips & transcodes.

part of the reason why i never posted... too many rules!

haha yeh a lot of people complained about the rules, I think some could have been taken farther 
Minimum 192kbps was excellent, but they say nothing about encoder. There are really bad encoders out there so 192kbps in them sounds like a 128kbps
LAME rip. They could have tightened that up.
Their ratio rules I never had a problem with, and since they didn't limit active torrents you had full control of your ratio. Uploading is easy, my
ratio was over 5.03 before it was closed.
I learned a lot from the site though, ripping techniques, music management programs and all sorts of shit like that. Hopefully it'll be replaced by
something as amazing real soon & I get in on it.

HA! The scene standard is only -v2 so good luck. Luckily I was never a member of Oink but I'm a member of many better scene only private trackers so
I'm covered. I hope to God you people are at least using Protowall/Blocklist Manger or a built in IP blocker in your client. If not, get into it.

I don't get the log thing so I've never used them or paid much attention to them. Used to use EAC but now just use Easy CD-DA Extractor with LAME 3.97
for my V0's.

it's basically proof that it's an original rip and what it's encoded at.

haha yeah if they have metal, hardcore, punk & rock I'd be down for these sites.
Even any that aren't scene only, have come across dodgy shit in the past especially with the older ones, plus lack of effort to scan album art these
days or check spelling.
I'm after anything to replace oink right now and I seed like crazy, upload and have great ratio's.
