Not many people on it though

also, why mediadefender? i’ve been searching around the net for about an hour now reading the chatter regarding waffles and haven’t found anything remotely close to your suspicion.

i guess i’m just curious to know, is that all it is as of right now? suspicion? or do you have some sort of evidence proving this?

i ask this in complete seriousness — i have also wondered about the legitimacy of waffles and definitely would like to know for sure.[/quote]
Only suspicion, no evidence. But the advise given by OiNK sysops was to avoid anything until an announcement was made here (see previous news). I don’t think an announcement would be made in BB, so I am waiting. If you check out mediadefender and the rest of that crowd setting up false site, false torrents is just what they are into. Be cautious and for the present put your torrents on reliable pre existing sites such as STMusic. If you check out the STMusic OiNK discussion in their forum you will find some details of where waffles.fm is being hosted. This
“Ip address for the site comes back as being right outsite St. Catherines Canada, right across the river from Niagra. hmm seems a little fishy to me as well”

I might have been lucky, but I never had that in 2-3years of actively using OiNK :/

i am not bad mouthing oink, it was one of the best trackers i have been on. but seriously anyone who thinks it was all quality is just fooling themselves and wanting to have a perfect memory to be nostalgic about. I wish oink had been more strict. It was often you would find torrents without even track numbers in their filenames.

Now yes, compared to the crap on public trackers oink was miles ahead. In my mind its just sad that so many people haven’t experienced better and think that it was the end all be all. Take me back to the days of FXP and now we are talking nothing but quality.

a lot of stuff on oink was shit. bad tags, messed up file names, no .nfo, no .m3u or .pls

ok so most of the time anything that wasn’t >192kbps got nuked but I would have liked it to be much more strict.

Get yourself on a real scene distro source if you want good releases.[/quote]
Obviously another stazi who never used OiNK. You ignorance of what OiNK was and will remain is so high you can only be another stooge of the mediadefender morons. Anonymous by name and Anonymous by nature. No matter what you do we have won. The industry fat cats better look for new jobs, sell the Porsche and get the bus.

Ever occur to you that many people don’t want the garbage that is put out today, that we may in fact want to download music that came out 5,10,20 years ago? Scene releases are great and all, but I liked oink because I could download things my parents listend to on 8 tracks

oh an orignal is original

OiNK users, rejoice!

even if you don’t have the welcome to OiNK email still saved, all users will have many invites available, so contact the person that originally invited you and all will be swell.[/quote]

This is what sounds most realistic so far, but is it in any way authorized by OiNK? :f

And even if I’d find the invite mail, how can I prove I had a ratio of 3? o:

Wish OiNK had a backup with all those info :/

call me paranoid, but I’d be a bit careful of things like this,.. may as well send an email to dobmyselfin@imanoob.com while you’re at it.

http://galacticcentral.org

you can only upload in 4 formats:
MP3 VBR V0 (alt-preset-extreme)
MP3 VBR V2 (alt-preset-standard)
MP3 CBR 320
FLAC

I got on there, downloaded one song off one album, and it was a pure transcode. It was garbage. And I couldn’t report it. STM DOESNT HAVE A REPORT BUTTON!

STM is garbage. Pure garbage.[/quote]

Wow man, ease up. STMusic was originally NOTHING but a tracker for 0 day scene releases prior to the raiding of Oink servers. When Oink got shut down, they graciously opened their doors to the homeless Oinkers, implemented user uploads, and have been working tirelessly to accomodate the needs of all these new members.

They’ve done all this work in a matter of days with more to come in the future. For people such as yourself to come in and piss all over their hard work and hospitality is just downright rude. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was Oink. And it’s going to take time for ANY tracker, even an officially run Oink2, to become anywhere near what the old Oink used to be.

You have to realize that STM was not built for user uploads up until a few days ago, and as such it’s going to take time to propogate all the music we so enjoyed from Oink onto this tracker (or any other tracker for that matter). I think the staff have done a helluva job given the circumstances. If you don’t appreciate it, feel free to fuck off and run your own damned tracker.

Demonoid is junk compared to it. Now which site out there is going to take over oink and become the next super oink.
Please tell me! :-(

Is there any way of sending our original Oink invite to the admins in order to get an invite.

I just don’t see how it’s going to work otherwise.

http://waffles.fm/ waffles. noone knows what this is going to be but its the one everyone is the most excited for. It is claiming to be a replica of oink and nothing but ex oink users. Could and hopefully will be awesome.

http://incegmbh.com/ – what.cd is the nicest looking and its only been up 2 days. It has 5 thousand members already and 7 thousand torrents..looks the most promising so far..because we have not seen anything else yet.

http://stmusic.org/index.php – st music, has the most music and members that ive seen out of the rest

boink.cd – pirate bays answer to oink, a public tracker version of oink…we’ll see..

http://oink2.no-ip.org/ – oink 2, we’ll see…..[/quote]
or try severedbytes.net been down a month but they just returned

waffles.fm

Seems legit. They are opening WITHOUT asking for donations upfront, nor are they advertising themselves overtly as Oink, unlike oinkcxla
