So how are the OiNK replacements?

I’ve gotten into both Waffles and What.CD? and while they don’t quite match OiNK on all levels, it’s still a great effort by both parties. I’ve found myself uploading and using What.CD? more than Waffles though, mostly due to the fact that Waffles is down and sucking. If it boiled down to making a choice right now, I’d definitely choose What.CD?.
The funny thing is that when I first joined What.CD? yesterday, there were no ratio requirements. Now the ratio is back and everyone got 10GB of upload credit so that people start downloading. That’s the thing! People aren’t downloading enough! Everyone is busy uploading to get the amount of content back up to that of OiNK’s Pink Palace.
Well, with that said. I have 2 invites to What.CD? for you readers. Leave a comment letting me know why I should send you one. Use your real e-mail address in the comments, as I’ll be sending an invite to it should you win.

You should give me one of those invites because I Care about pirating music. Plus I care about high quality audio files, so you’ll have one more uploader of flac, apple lossless, and 320kbs files.

Hey now! Send me an invite because I was a big Oink fan who was really into the community and contributed a fair amount to it. If I get in at What, I plan to do the same! Oink going down was a sad, sad thing.. but your post sounds promising and definitely got me excited. I own high quality headphones (Shure SE-530’s) so nothing under a 320 bitrate gets near them. Or, where possible, lossless still rules any MP3!
Anyhoo, lastly, I came here to answer your question!
Crunchgear rules. Heh.

I think you should send an invite to what.cd because it would make me feel good, having access again to high quality music, but more importantly make YOU feel good, seeing as you’re helping me out. So send me an invite please, and I promise you’ll get that warm fuzzy feeling inside. That, or it could be indigestion. Either way..

I’m gonna be honest - I’m a freeloading music-junky. And I just got 24mbps internet so I’m good for seeding :D

I miss OiNK deeply. I spent 5 years downloading and uploading high quality music on OiNK. It was even saddening when OiNK decided to stop doing discographies because it was beautiful thing to be able to grab many great artist entire collections in high quality format in one click. I’m an avid music fan who not only downloads but also buys music whenever necessary. I’m itching to get my music collection growth back up and running.

You should invite me to what.cd not only because I was a power user on oink for years and seeded everything for months, but because fuck the RIAA. Yeah I said it. I need a place to illegally download major label releases because I don’t want to support them until they join the rest of the world in the 21st century. Help me do this.

Hi Vince,
I am not going to contend that I am more worthy of an invite that all the rest of these nice folks, however you should choose me, because I am at the university and would definitely spread my own invites around (and am sitting on a huge bandwidth thats being wasted by not downloading). Also I currently have over 20GB of music, and I definitely want more, so will be downloading at astonishing rates.
Thanks man.

I’m just going to tell it like it is!!!
I didn’t get a chance to check out Onik, so I’m really curious what 320 bitrate sounds like. I have a demoniod.com account, so I’ll trade ya invites!

I Leech and never seed. I pirate all day without sharing my library. I love the feeling of taking and never giving. I want to take from What.cd and never add anything to it. I promise that I won’t be one of these loyal seeders. I pledge that I will download all day, and be as stingy as I possibly can. Give me the code and I won’t give you anything back.. What better reasons can I give?
Thank you.

Please invite me, OiNK meant a great deal to us all. It was mearly a great catalouge, no other place on the web (legal or otherwise) offered such a comprehensive library of great music. Yeah sure, there’s itunes and amazon kind of, but those are not the places where one can really go to look for music, those are places to find all of the mass produced garbaged, and highly marketed waste. Please, I miss you OiNK. I only hope that your spirit can live on, perhaps in what.cd…

I think I should get an invite because I’m a great lover of music, and I think it’s important that it be shared with the world.
I would really appreciate it.

Hello,
I would appreciate an invite for the following reasons:
1. I own an extensive library of classical music CDs which I have mostly archived now (total 50GB archived, about 200GB to go). A lot of the recordings are very rare and hard to find, and I think they would make a valuable contribution to the What.CD collection.
2. I am a member of several other private communities and have maintained good ratios in them.
3. I’m a daily (sometimes more) reader of CrunchGear and TechCrunch, and I really appreciate what you provide the community with :).
Thanks so much for considering me,
azey47

Whatup man? Yeah, I need to get hooked up with SOMETHING that can fill the void i currently have as a result of Oink being gone.
Why should you send me an invite? Well, for starters, I was an oink power user+ (and screenshots to prove it). I have A LOT of stuff that I can share, a vast majority of it out of print or hard to find. In addition, I have a lot of underground stuff that just doesnt exist on most other networks.
The power user+ status in oink should speak for itself, but basically it means I upload at least as much as I download, usually more. All of my stuff is ripped properly with logs and are all of the highest quality. I have over 100GB of music ready to share.
I would be super stoked to get an invite, and would be happy to share the wealth. RIP OINK.
Hit me an email, lets chat!

You should send me an invite because I live in the US and I’ve gotten proper F’ed by all the other sites.

Because someone’s got a sizeable share of OiNK’s history in his possession and a non-throttled internet connection.

You should let me have an invite because ninjas are holding my wife hostage, and I’ve been told that if I don’t manage to secure an invite in the next 24 hours she will be killed via shuriken. This would be a bummer.
Oh yeah, and I always retain good ratios everywhere I go. I believe in sharing, it’s something my mother taught me about early on in life. But I’m mainly concerned about my wife.

And lotsa V0.

I’m not going to beg, (have some decency boys). Anyway, me and the rest of my rather large invite tree are in need of a new home. To be honest I don’t have a ton of content, but as a group we we’re pretty solid. Like I said, I’m not going to beg, but I will say Please.
Thanks man. keep up the good work over there.

a) why not?
b) uploaded 90 gigs on oink, invited good users, and generally kick ass
c) email address has to be worth something
p.s. any thoughts on stmusic? i’ve been on there since oink went down and am generally impressed. it’s a little piglet which will hopefully turn into a big ol pink pig.

Wow - you sure got peoples attention offering an invite!
As a former oink power user I’d love a peek at either of these sites if you ever wanted to spare another invite that you earn - I’m not really into ‘pleading’ my case as to why I deserve this more than another…that’s a little abstract but I can say that I rip lossless flacs of good music that worth sharing, and spend the time to use proper bbcoding to create good looking uploads.
Thanks in advance for the offer at least! I nearly cried when oink went away…truly oink was a magical website that will be forever missed! When the technology is there to liberate something into being freely available to the entire global collective community, we squash it - it would be nice to see this trend mature into the gentle acceptance that technology is changing our world for the better! Peace and oink oink!

Hi Vince,
I was an OiNK power user and am now currently using libble to try and fill the void left by OiNK’s passing. If you still have any invites available, i would really like to be considered as a candidate for these invites! Thanks,
