  I remember finding a dude on slsk who had the entire CTI/Kudu catalogue.  To avoid him blocking either one of us for bulk leeching, Me and my mate Stefan in Austria decided we'd each … (more)take the odd and even numbers in the catalog and share them with each other when we got done.

  Hell yeah, I preach the gospel of forums when I can, it's really not been replaced by social media. It's kind of a

  relic of the internet when people thought it'd be this independent, anarchic utopian thing instead of consolidating into 5 Websites For All Your Needs, and the interaction is different in this format (and better if you ask me)

  Finding anything you saw more than five minutes ago on FB is a dire experience.  And the endless onslaught of unsolicited drivel is unacceptable.  I use it under a bs name and profile linked to a bs email address so the data they have for me is worth less than zero and I really avoid posting anything to feed their algorithm or add to my digital tattoo. 

  I use it because some friends and relatives are only reachable via fb and we need it as a federated authentication source for work projects so it has become a necessary evil, but it's more evil than necessary.

  The humor of the OG Frank was definitely Manchester/NW-Related so possibly wouldn't have travelled well anyway, unless you could relate.  Even then, it was like a surrealist take on … (more)it.
  
  Without googling, IIRC one of his old bandmembers (before Frank, Chris was an underground muso of sorts) got into screenwriting and/or filmmaking and the Frank Movie was supposed to be a kind of salute to their madcap days of old, before the idea morphed into something on a parallel timeline.  I can't remember if the OG Frank died before this was made so it could have also been part tribute. 
  
  The OG Frank/Chris died of cancer unfortunately. (less)
