i know! You used to have to sign up for so many mailing lists

 

Man, would have loved to be a fly on the wall when WYWTB leaked. I hadn't heard TBS up until around when Louder Now came out

 

it was especially crazy with the lineup change and straylight run happening at the same time

 

Urkel said okay

 

And we released those demos to the world. And it was awesome. That band ruled. Team Straylight Run forever.

 

Dangg that's so cool, I didn't even think about Straylight starting up around the same time. I'd kill for another record from them

 

the first leak i ever downloaded was common existence you old ass freaks

 

Do albums still leak? Is that a thing people even care about now?

 

I remember the Late Registration leak on here was crazy.

 

Ask all the people listening to Pvris's new record right now heh.

 

They do but usually week of and I wait almost every time cause I’m lazy and also why waste the disk space

 

This is pretty cool.

It always seemed a bummer that all these reviews that have pull quotes on wiki pages got ethered.

 

That’ll be my next project, seeing if I can get those links updated.

 

*whispers*

it’s nice when the company that would sue you for doing this doesn’t exist any more

 

The last thing I did before logging off the last time was save copies of all the reviews my band got on the site. So many blogs and shit that we got covered on back then just vanished forever.

 

I find in the age of streaming to not care so much when something leaks, I’ll hear it eventually so no biggie.

 

Man, I remember wanting to post in the VG thread but I was so damn intimidated by the close knit clique in there so I didn’t bother, plus I didn’t want to deal with Marroset(?). It was why I created the video game thread that eventually grew into what the game thread is now, I just wanted to nerd out about something I loved without getting shit on for it.

 

Also, RDR2 is fine, get mad.

 

I forgot his name but def miss the dude that made this, he was hilarious.

 

Pretty sure I “leaked” I’m Not Okay by hyperlinking a period in a news post, haha.

 

“Fall Out Boy are rolling out teensy snippets of information regarding their forthcoming album in a blanket marketing scheme so comprehensive, you’d think Martha Stewart was their manager. They leaked the album’s title, Infinity On High, to MTV News. They promised AbsolutePunk.net an exclusive leak of one of their songs, “Carpal Tunnel of Love”

I used to download albums song by song off Morpheous, only to find half the songs are fake, then when I finally found all 12+ songs from the album (obviously at different bitrates, as I realized later in life),I would burn them to a CD and print out a customized CD label from my home CD label maker.

Yeah I'm old

 

I started with limewire. Then another couple of equally awful programs.

 

Kazaa, baby
