If they got the servers, doesn't that mean they got everyone's IPs who used it?

Here are some instructions for American Oink refugees fleeing to Canada. And JS, Canadians don't live in igloos and frigid log cabins.

yep....so extremely lucrative that the 24 year old admin worked a full time time job and lived in a one bedroom flat in Middlesbrough.

oink was not scene.
rigid mods and admin disliked scene. not necessarily philosophically but qualitatively. haughty oinksterites felt the level of scene rips beneath them. oink was fairly strict in nearly all areas, from the type of avatar mandatory for members to the brittle moderation on the boards. it contributed frankly to a warped community and one i really couldn't participate in but hey that's england. they were absolutely inflexible on two points however: rip q and ratio. let's just say it: rips were exemplary. if the rare bad one got past the gate it wasn't from a lack of standards. instead blame the overwhelming success of the place. with over 1000 new adds each day it stood to reason some would slip through. still, even this was minor. for example after a 100 gig binge i found only one album flawed, and that by a preemphasis issue in a flac encode. in their view scene didn't cut it and lurid press notwithstanding it wasn't their thing. if the scene quality met a minimum standard, they allowed it but only just. they sure didn't praise it. warez on the other hand was a whole different story. they tracked it all. - js. |

It’s not so much of a problem and it’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s just a condition. In fact mine is good because it means my brain is getting bigger too. But not that Travolta guy, his head is mostly fat. The doctors said I am much smarter than John Travolta and I believe them. |

Some might find Usenet useful for music, but not really a replacement for Oink.
