Just because the 'free' downloading period has now finished doesn't mean you shouldn't download anymore! This was a total one-off created not just as a good will gesture, but as a reminder to actually download music. We're all about sharing here, yet it seemed to take a period of 'free' downloading to get people to actually try out new music or update music collections. If someone recommends you some music, your first thought shouldn't be whether your ratio afford it, it should be to give it a try!

Anyway, we hope you had a most enjoyable holiday period and let the new year be full of even more sharing!


These things just don't work out the way their biggest participators want. That math that was posted here a while back looks more and more true to me the more I look around the internet, the strictest communities I've been a part of (even back in dialup BBS hell) have lasted the shortest period of time because you need those low-ratio nickel and dime contributors to bring in new content.

In short, fuck oink.
