It has been 15+ years for me following the site by RSS. It was a time before what.cd gave easy access to everything and I was just looking for more stuff by The Band and The Blues Brothers and related acts. And then The Who. Then Prince, and so on. Collecting and listening to just about everything is still my main hobby. 15 years later I still visit almost every day because somehow I still don't have everything I'm looking for. So thanks guys. 18 is an absurdly long time for a sharing site and forum.

Since torrents are usually easily reupped, and roios are typically transitory and not seeded forever, I am a little sad that you have not decided to instead start fresh on current software. That is easy for me to say though. It is not just migrating the DB that is a pain most likely, but also relearning everything for a new software stack. it I don't know anything about the administrators, but if you're even involved in running a site and forum for a few years, you're going to be in a different place in your life after a while where maybe it is time for someone else to do the work. So thanks again, for all the not-Phish.

Oh, I guess it's time to admit this is my second account, I lost my password to my original account pretty quickly so that seemed the best solution for reasons I don't recall. Hopefully the statute of limitations has passed on that one by now!

RE sites taking on refugees, since I've been on them for some duration as well: we all know Dime, it is hampered by the artist restrictions but if you're not there yet, you need to be there because there is plenty of good. There is Lossless Legs (shnflac.net), not just a jam band site, some nice stuff there. Zomb is fine if you like a very short list of mainstream rock bands, maybe some of you can bring some life into it, just be ready for donation begging everytime you log in. Electric Ladyland is a nice niche place but if you think TTD was unstable for a bit, that place hasn't loaded the torrents list for me once this year for all the timeouts. So no, we can't really replace TTD right now. But that replacement might have never shown up if TTD kept going. So here is hoping.
