Good for him, such a great site it was...

I just read that too, I'm really happy for him. I've still never found a site as good as that one was. I've heard good things about waffles but I'm not a member there so I'm not sure how it stacks up.

Boards like this one are helping fill in some of the gaps, but the size of oink was just incredible.

Congrats Alan Ellis, and anyone else who is willing to do something great for the good of everyone.

Congats Allan Ellis, it has been quite a battle for you. Thanks for the link Postal
I too was a member when the site went down and agree that OiNK was the best site for quality music I have ever found. The rules were strict and punishment often harsh but this meant the quality of post content was extremely high. The pink palace has been sadly missed:(
Hopefully FLACShare will pickup some momentum and help to fill the gap for lossless music
