I was a member. It was cool, but soulseek & demonoid are better.
Eh, they each have their strengths and weaknesses. Oink has the advantage on the lossless/V0 tip, and there's been stuff I could find on soulseek+demonoid that I'd have to wait around on a request for in oink and vice versa.

care to elaborate?
I use soulseek on the reg, haven't tried demonoid. Found soulseek to be good sometimes, terrible + inconsistent other times. Oink has its perks, but its biggest plus [to me] is reliability. And bitrate.
kidgusto, elise, PM me e-mail addresses for invites.
Also, the usual "try and keep whatever computer you're sharing on 24/7 and if you're using a wireless router, make sure ports are forwarded" blah blah blah.

hook me up.
i like soul seek, but curiosity is KILLing me.
Its jus mean.
again....
I let my membership go cause Oink was a complicated snoozefest. There's nothing there that I found to be that raer or that I couldn't get somewhere else easier.

Oink is alright. It was much better back in the day IMO. Tho, their no ratio downloads over the holidays was fire!
There are so many wicked music blogs out there nowadayz that oink isn't really needed.
And a couple of private boards out there that absolutely kill it.
Side thought. Oink over the last while have become a bit of a biatch. Their whole "cute avatar only" deal is pure crap. And they are starting to become nazi's with their rules.

, more resources the better.
yeah I could agree with you, but the mystery was getting to me.
"If you choose to use one, a cute avatar is a must (preferably a stuffed animal, pet, cartoon character, etc.). If you can't find one, ask in the forums. Examples of things which are not acceptable: your favourite band, attractive women, band/sporting/product logos, pictures of you and/or your partner. It's far better to not have an avatar than one that breaks this rule.[/b]"
I like oink, cause its a community. you can definately tell who has some real joints, and then msg them and get some trading going on. I did that for a while.
Its gotten a bit tougher to trade 45s, cause they require a different torrent for each record now, rather than funk 45 "packs" that I used to do.
at any rate, i have about 10 invites, if you promise to upload lotz'of'raers.

I agree that a lot of sendspace-fueled music blog and message board sites make oink less vital for new (edit: and certain genre/scene-specific) releases, it's just nice knowing that any high-profile leak that's on there isn't a transcode.
It's just a matter of conveinence for me. Like, when I download software there, I know I don't have to scour 20 different public torrents for a working crack or something like that. If I see something new came out that's featured on sandboxautomatic/dustygroove/pitchforkmedia/etc., Oink will have it 9 times outta 10, and probably in V0 or APS. And then, it'll surprise me by having some stuff like mid 90s b-club and early 80s hiphop 12" rips, etc.
But yeah, the Oink admins are nazis and their music message board is a wasteland.
Don't let them scare you. It's not that hard to keep up with the rules. AND, don't use an avatar if you don't want a cute one. I've never heard of anyone getting kicked off for not having a cute avatar. They seem like Nazis at the beginning, but don't worry...
I've got invites also if anyone is interested. PM your email addy.
